KEENEY'S

See yourself at Keeney's," will be
the motto for the first half of the
coming week at the playhouse, where
a moving picture of the great parade
OF the Holy Name societies in Newark
last Sunday will be shown. The pic
ture was taken by the Newark Film
Company, and shows considerably
more than 1000 feet of film. Weather
conditions were ideal for open-air
photography, and the presentation OF
the various parishes in line, compris-
ing in all upwards of 10000 marchers
Is so clear and distinct that individ-
uals in line can easily be recognized
The picture also gives an idea Of the
crowd that lined the streets along the
route of the parade. The special
movie" will be on view at every per-
Torrance.
Another feature of the show for
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
will be one of the cleverest and most
entertaining animal acts in the busi-
ness, Stainless Comedy Circus 1t Is
described by a reviewer in the metro
politan press as "a laugh minute"
Ned Nestor and his nine sweethearts
combining mirth and music; Uno, q
pantOmlm1c comedy cycl1St, SAID TO Dc
unequaled in his line, and Forbes
Sterling and company, in their sure
laugh winner "a Controversy on
Business and Love-" will contribute to
the bill.
Variety will be the spice of the bill
to be presented during the latter half
of the week one of the most inter
esting numbers will be clever de-
tective playlet capably handled by a
cast of experienced players. The
piece will be presented by John 7.
Doyle and company.
An act which is described as espe-
cially pleasing will be "The Harpist
and the Singer" presented by Renard
and Rozella. These talented musi-
clans surround themselves with spe-
cial scenery of a romantic character,
making the act as charming for the
eye as it is for the ear A novelty of
the sure-fire type will be offered by
the Brightons, who manipulate ordi-
nary, everyday rags into beautiful
pictures. The Hanford trio, who have
been described as "arlstocratic in their
art" will also be feature Of the bill.

week OF October 26 in "Panthea, the
romantic drama in which she scored
such success at the Booth Theatre,
New York, last spring. 49,
| On the continent, as well as In
London, Madame Petrova is one OF
the commanding figures of the serious

her to be an actress of remarkable
emotional powers, beauty. charm and
personality. Her role In the play IS
that of an exotic. mysterious young
creature of fire and love.
"Panthea" tells the story OF a great
