DRAMA PROPER
MOVIES REIGN SUPREME
PARAMOUNT

The Paramount Theatre, Broad
street. opposite City Hall, played ia
four packed houses yesterday after
noon when Mary PiclSford was seen
in a modern version of cinderella
produced by the Famous Players
Film Company. Two performances
were given In the afternoon and two
at night
The picture of cinderella" Of
course. adheres to the old fairy story
of little Ella, the cinder girl, abused
by her step-sisters and step-mother,
but who, finally, through faitn IN
the fairies, won the hand OF Prince
Charming At the afternoon per.
formances yesterday, fully one-hali
of the audience was composed ol
children, and everyone enjoyed the
performance. As a whole, the plot
is exactly as in the story. All the
settings are on stupendous scale
and the style is one of grandeur
Some of the scenes are beautiful. All
the actions are characterized by
grandeur, especially the one where
Cinderella views a dance of the elves
from her attic window. The street
scenes are quaint and in keeping
with the story.
The transformation work OF the
fairy princess, who does so many
good things for Cinderella, is Won
derful, not being the mere fading
of one picture into another; but II
actually appears as II Cinderella's
clothes change from rags to silks.
Owen Moore, in the part of the
prince, plays his part excellently and
with a winsomeness which appeals

MINERS

The inimitable Frank Finney--he
of the short arm-whose name stands
for everything that is laugh provok-
ing in the realm of burlesque,
made his temperance at Miners
Empire Theatre last night with a
company of comedians and merry
makers that must have taken him
a long while to gather together, I'M
der the title of the Trocadero Bur
lesquers.
AS usual he appears in his own
show. This time it's THE Legend
of the Ring" whose scenes lead the
audience from the lawn OF a New
port villa to the outside of a Hlndoo
temple on the banks Of the Gauges
in India.
The story relates how Chick
White" is given a mystic Hindoo
ring as a wedding present. Its spell
keeps the possessor in constant
trouble. Chick, after getting his fill
of it, passes it on, and 1t comes in
turn TO Major Moore, who is very
sweet on Chicks mother, and whose
previous affairs with other ladies'
keep him in constant hot water lest
Mrs White find out about them;
Lem Dinwiddle, the majors brain
less fuotman who is about s feet
inches in height and has brains
enough for the four inches but not
the six feet; Tim Sweeney. the
majors coachman, who is Frank
Finney. and several others.
As q result they all decide TO go
to India with Chick on his honey
moon. so the ring can be restored.
There they get in more trouble in
which Finney has TO masquerade as
a sultan's wife to gain access to a
harem so he can free Chicks wife,
who has been kidnapped
With the company Is Miss Minnie
Burke well known to local patrons
Of burlesque She sings and dances
half a dozen times. supported by a
chorus that is youthful, pretty and
well drilled. Dorothy Clark does the
heavy singing. She has an ex-
cellent soprano voice, and is a very
clever actress. The major. spoken
of above. Is John p. Griffith and
Lem Dlnwiddle. George Banks.
other principals in the cast are
Rose Dupree. Olive tombstone. Leona
Noble and Belle Miilette who PLAYS
the part Of Chicks mother. and
Ernest o. Fisher, who as Chick
sfarts all the trouble" with his
ring.

KEENEYS

II the first bill at the Keeney The
atre. under the new policy Of that
theatre of booking its own acts, is
any criterion, patrons Of that the
atre are In for better vaudeville en-
tertainment than ever before, for the
bill of eight acts given yesterday to
capacity crowds, both afternoon and
night, was considerably above the
average of bills given at the big the
atre in the past.
Every type of entertainment, from
the mysticism Of the far east, furn-
ished by Prince karmi and COM
pany, to the modern song and dance
and musical knockabout turns, were
on the list, and all were so nearly
equally good that 1t Is hard to pick
the real headliner.
For real novelty, though, the
honor must go to Billy Reeves, who
plays a drunken man in knock
about comedy act in a manner that
kept the audience in roars of laugh
ter for fifteen minutes, though
Reeves does not utter a single word
during that period. One thing that
makes the act likeable Is the fact
that 1t is free from any of the Of
fensive antics that usually mark an
act of this sort.
Prince Karmi springs a neat box Of
oriental tricks and mystery acts tha.t
had the big audiences in wonder
ment at all stages. Anderson and
Evans have a clever comedy sketch
that won a lot of laughs, as did a
dancing and singing sketch by James
Francis Sullivan and two capable as
sistants, a girl and a young lad.
Miss Helen Moore, a beautiful
young woman. made a hit with
turn in which she played the violin
and danced classic and step dances
at the same time. Norton and
Ayres, in a dialogue and songs, were
also well liked. Carter, Clark and
Carter, a harmony trio, were good on
the harmony and but most of their
comedy was of the moss-eaten va
riety. Dave Manley, in Hebrew
character work, opened the bill and
scored heavily in that difficult posi-
ton
