Held on the STAGE

When an act is so good that it is
held on the stage during the run of the
act by thunderous applause there can
be no question as to that act pleasing,
and that is just exactly what Billy
Dodge did at the Columbia last night.
The character artist opens in qui-
ct way and is tolerated, but as he
warns up to his work the appreciation
of the audience is felt if not made
evident in any other way until he is
ready to make his exit, and then the
storm breaks.
Since opening Tuesday night at the
audiences, and he pleases only because
he knows how to get his numbers
across.
"Santacruz" the rtist-looking young
man who only uses a sheet, a lamp and
his hands, yet never says a word, fac
cinates with his cleverness, and his
shadow pictures are both interesting
and pleasing.
Gabrielle is being accorded a grea-
ter reception than last week. On her
initial appearance, and is forced to re-
spond with encore.
The big act, the Five Bennett Sisters,
is the talk of Phoenix, and are deserv-
ing of their ovation at each show.
These young ladies are pictures of
feminine development. and as every
pose is a picture, their twenty min
utes on the stage is all too short for
the audience.
All roads are leading to the Column
bia this week, and not to have attend
ed is to acknowledge oneself as not
mingling with those who know what
is what"
To make shadow pictures is an art
when well done and delight to chill
dren when made in childish way, but
every child who attends the matinee
at the Columbia Saturday afternoon
will be taught by the greatest shadow
artist in America. "Santacruz."

The Empress

In seeing a motion picture one usu-
ally sees either a comedy or drama,
but seldom both in any one sub
ject. The Good-for- Nothing which
had its initial run at the Empress
last night, handles both in a manner
admitting of no criticism. The plot,
which contains a very strong moral
of heart interest, Is clearly unfolded,
and with the leading role in the
hands of G. NJ Anderson, commonly
known as 'Broncho Billy nothing
more could be desired to make the
production a success. In this film,
as in all of the screen dramas in
which he appears. his work is ex-
Cellent and he has chosen a cast
that would be difficult to improve
Joy and pathos are treated alike by
this versatile acto. of the silent
drama, and photographically the film
is a masterpiece. 1t will be contin-
ued until Sunday night inclusive and
should pack the house.

ADJUSTMENTS
The Trunk Mystery

The chief offering at the Lamara
today will be the Lubin two-reel
comedy, The Trunk Mystery that
tells a story of a husband who went
out for a time and in returning fell
in with a hobo whom he took home.
The next morning, seeing a story in
the paper about a murder, he i'm
mediately takes the proposition as
directed at him and put Mr.. Hobo
in a trunk The hobo escapes and
the mans wife packs the trunk to
leave. An amateur detective mixes
in and traces the trunk which Brown
is trying to dispose of. A number of
ridiculous situations develop all of
which are cleared up when it is re-
ported that the story of the murder
was a reporters joke in the first
place. The other parts of the pro-
gram are good. There is always
something doing at the Lamara.

The Coliseum

The bill holding forth at the Coli
Scum this week offers one of the
most inviting attractions that it has
been the lot of that house to present
during the several weeks past. The
opening team, that of Trask & Mont
gomery, are seen in a pleasing little
song and dance skit, interspersed
with catchy jokes that are upto date
and above all, clean. The Westons
in Juggling and globe-rolling a-e a
pleasant diversion from the ordinary
juggling acts which have been seen
of late. One especially thrilling feat
ure of the teams work is the knife
walking performed by the feminine
member of the team. The young
lady is clever and presents her part
of the act with an artistry hard to
equal. The closing team, Carpente"
& Reyonlds. score heavily with their
saxophones and harmonious voices.
Both boys sing exceptionally well,
and have chosen several of the most
popular ballads which always gets
them the encores. 2

Airdome


The Airdome at Washington and
Third avenue is presenting a pro-
gram of more than usual merit for
this change. There is a two-reel
Imp feature that cannot be too
strongly recommended for beauty of
photography and splendid plot and
acting. 1t is called the "Silver Low
ing Cup and enthralls the interest
throughout. There is Crystal
comedy, Lizzie and the Ice Man"
that makes a continual roar of laugh :
ter from start to finish. The Rex
drama, His Sister" conveys a beau
tiful moral lesson concealed in a
vivid story with many thrilling
scenes. Miss Kathryn Hart is sing
ing a new popular song that is MAX
ing a good sized hit and the music
of the Airdome band is more than
excellent. Tomorrow night (Satur-
day. there will be another complete
change of program.

Some OF the trade and state papers
nave been having articles recently in
regard to the. as they supposed, fab
ulous Doodle Bug. They claim that
the dictionaries have not made men
uon OF the doodle bug, but that the
Century does say that a doodle is a
trifler a simple fellow, and to doodle"
Is to candle"
Following an article written for the
Rochester Union in which lady
claims that she was familiar with the
bug these papers say that maybe Eu-
gene Field, who wrote a poem about
1T, declaring il one of the harbingers
OF spring, knew all about the Doodle
Bug.
The writer has personally seen hun
dreds of these bugs and not any far
Their away than in the woods OF the
southern part OF Michigan either. The
bug is about the size of a common po-
tato bug but slightly longer i'm shape.
IL has spoon or spade shaped tail
The little fellow lives in the ground
where ii is sandy or where some log or
stump has fully decayed leaving the
mass friable or easy to work. In the
winter time he hibernates deep in the
earth, but upon the approach Of spring
he comes to the surface. Everyone
is familiar with the spider and his web,
and knows that he weaves il to catch
flies and insects. The doodle bug is
also carniverous insect and as he
