Advance reports on 1.-The Ameri-
can Beauties which will be the at
traction at Miners Empire Theatre
this week, state that this burlesque
Offering is of noteworthy interest
inasmuch as it is free from all the
vulgarity that characterizes other
"burlesque' productions.
THE American Beauties is q pro-
duction of 3. f. Forester. Instead
of being full of coarse jests, poor
music and worse singing, it is said
that the vehicle of 1.-THE American
Beauties is instead a combination
of clean and snappy action and
pleasing mifth and melody.
The only authorized motion pic
lures ever taken of his holiness. the
late Pope Plus X. and the Vatican
will be shown at the Newark
Theatre this week. There are seven
reels, but the subject is probably the
most interesting ever shown here,
and no audience that has ever seen
them has tired at any time during
their production.
They have exceptional educational
value and appeal generally to all
persons. regardless Of their religious
leanings. From Photographic
standpoint they are declared to equal
anything ever shown on the screen.
They are the work of James Slevin
and are presented by Harry r.
Raver, with Joseph w. Farnham as
director during a countrywide tour,
which will begin in this city.
An interesting fact in connection
with them is that they really show
two popes, in addition to many other
high church dignitaries, as they were
taken at the time that the present
Pope Benedict and about a dozen
others We're ordained as cardinals,
and in the same reel are shown
Cardinal Farley. of New York; Car
dinal Gibbons. of Baltimore, and Car
dinal O'Connell. of Boston.
The Orpheum Theatre and the Fors-
berg Players will present "Hagar
Revelly." This novel, like many other
books of merit, might have died an
untimely death unnoticed, had it not
for some reason attracted the atten-
ton, and likewise enmity, of An
thony Comstock.
However, in this case, the pub
fishers of the book were upheld by
the United States courts, who decided
that the book was neither objection
able or immoral, in spite of it's
strongly told tale of city life. The
consensus of opinion was that the
book was the most terrifying moral
chapter that has been written in
modern times"
The scenes in the play are laid in
New York and Paris and show Ha-
CARS home in Harlem, her boarding
house and finally her luxurious apart
ments In Paris.

auctions Of the classic works of mas

creations are in preparation. This is
the first time any great foreign ac-
tress has come to America to pose

progress of that industry In this
country Miss Nansen was Ibsen's
choice for the dramatic delipeat ton of
his wonderful characters, such as
Hilda in 1.-THE Master Builder" and
Rebecca in "Rosmerssholm."
