PARAMOUNT

The Paramount Theatre, on Broad
street, was packed to the doors last
night TO hear the new $4,000 organ
which has been installed. 1t was
played by William Y. Webbe. of New
ark The organ music did much to
feature 1.-The Man from Home" with
Charles Richman in the leading part
The scene Of this picture is laid in
Sorrento, Italy. Mr.. Webbe skilfully
blended the music with the views
shown on the screen.
The organ is sweet in tone with
much depth. The organ pipes are set
in two chambers, one on each side of
the stage, hidden from view. The
reeds and strings are put In a box,
so that the organist can decrease or
increase the volume of tone at will
from these pipes.
Mr.. Morgan is anticipating giving
a recital of the storm" in the near
future. Whether this can be done
on an organ with only about six
inches wind pressure is a question
Mr.. Webbe has the knack of giving
the best music to the picture. He In

cipal character Of the picture, and

trick" player. but has studied the
art of using the best music In such
a way that 1t Is more appreciated than
the ordinary efforts by other players.

Thin People
Can Increase Weight

Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with
10 or Is pounds of healthy stay
there" fat should try eating a little
Sargol with their meals for a while
and note results. Here Is a good test
worth trying. First weigh yourself
and measure yourself Then take
Sargol--one tablet with every meal
for two weeks. Then weigh and
measure again. II isn't a question Of
how you look or feel or what your
friends say and think. The scales
and the tape measure will tell their
own story, and most any thin man or
woman can easily add from five to
eight pounds In the first fourteen
days by following this simple direc-
ton. And best of all, the new flesh
stays put.
but mixing with your food, 1t turns
the fats, sugars and starches of what
you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat
producing nourishment for the It's
sues and blood-prepares 1t In an
easily assimilated form which the
blood can readily accept. All this
nourishment now passes from your
body as waste. But Sargol stops the
waste and does It quickly and makes
the fat producing contents of the
very same meals you are eating now
develop pounds and pounds of healthy
flesh between your skin and bones.
Sargol is safe, pleasant, efficient and
inexpensive

The Golden Crook Burlesque Com
pany at Miners Theatre met with
moro than the customary acclaim of

PROCTOR'S

The large audiences that attended
the performances at Proctor's Park
Place yesterday afternoon and eve
ming found some of the most delight
full picture programs ever presented
on local screens. There were many
excellent features, but best of all
stood out the Vitagraph production,
Good Bye Summer" an idyllic drama
with an exceptionally fine acting cast.
GOOD Bye Summer Is a story of a
neglected wife who finds solace In her
child, but who pines for the regenera-
ton of the husband
Norma Talmadge as the wife, An
tonic Moreno as the artist husband,
Van Dyke Brooke as the tutor are the
principals In this superb Vitagraph
feature The settings in some of the
interior scenes are exquisite, while
the outdoor scenes are beautiful.
Good Bye Summer is a credit to
any theatre, and it is hoped that the
management will give it a return
day.
Another innovation at the Park
Place was the introduction Of bright
singers and humorous raconteurs.
They provided many entertaining mo-
ments and stimulated the motion pic
ture program considerably

KEENEYS

Anniversary week at Keeney's has
been made the occa sion of an inter-
esting bill, at least for the forepart
of the week. There Is variety, and
plenty of it, on the program, ranging
from the ridiculous to the sublime.
The ridiculous is that of the rube
circus act known as the Sherman
and DeForest Circus" 1t has been
in Newark before on burlesque cir
cults, but it Is entirely new and novel
to the vast majority of theatre goers
who patronize vaudeville. To those
who have seen the number it is suffi-
Gent to say that it is as funny as
ever, and to those who have not seen
it--well, they will have to keep the
cork in pretty tight to prevent the
natural chuckles which just effervesce
at every line of the sparkling humor
in word, action and antics of this
troupe. tla
viii j. Ward and his Piano Girls
render a performance of the more
( classical strain. There are four femi-
nine piano players besides Mr.. Ward;
also a feminine singer. Every one is
pretty and every one plays as pref
tily as she is pretty. Besides, Mr..
Ward sings songs that touch the
heart. Among his numbers last night
were one or two Irish selections that
event big" to use the parlance of the
stage.
Ouvatti Troubadours, violinist and
banjoist. respectively. also give the
audience a little Instrumental muse
that is decidedly acceptable.
Rena Santos is dainty singer with
charming voice and nice repertoire
Of songs Then there is Moore and
st. Clair, comedy team who furnish
some repartee of the rib-tickling kind;
Louise and Mitchell, comparative
youngsters, perform feats of strength,
and Lambs Manikins are one of the
most elaborate acts of its kind on the
stage. 1t is something especially APP
pealing to the younger generation.
Hilarity Is the proper word to use
IN explaining what Harry Rose causes
by his grotesque illustrated singing.
He "acts" his own songs as he sings"
them.
The interior of Keeney's playhouse
is tastefully decorated with red and
white and blue bunting and flags
which give the place a holiday APP
pearance quite suitable for the mem
orable occasion of the anniversary
Of its first year and a most success
full year 1t has been. The pictures
are up to the high Keeney standard,
which is saying a great deal.

After a run of dramas, military
plays and other heavy and semi-heaVy
material. a genuine comedy returned
to the Orpheum Theatre last night
and, with it, two favorites OF recent
stock company fame. The evening also
marked the debut in local stock COM
pany circles of Douglas Bedeu,
Newark boy. who used to be a re-
porter on this paper several years
ago and gave it up for career on the
stage.
The play is Little Miss Brown
farce in three acts, by Philip Bar
tholomae, and the two returning ones
are Miss Rose Mcdonald, lately with
Olga Petrova in "Panthea," and Ar
thur jarrett. Both were given a great
reception. Miss Mcdonald, as Miss
Wendell, daughter of the proprietor OF
the hotel In which Little Miss
Brown" gets herself and several
others into distressful circumstances,
was only on tho stage for a few min
utes, but In that time she had oppor-
tunity to carry on a pretty little fir
tation with Philip Dennison, known
between performances as Edward van
Sloan, and her masterfulness in the
part earned her distinction.
Ottola Nesmith, as Little Miss
Brown" well portrayed the unsophis-
ticated young woman who, through
force of circumstances, is compelled
to take a room in a suite reserved for
married couple. Through a mis-
take, her finance failed to meet her at
the station and she is thus compelled,
alone, penniless and without baggage
to resort to subterfuge, in order to
obtain shelter for the night She is
accommodated at the Wendell on the
superstition that she is Mrs Richard

prepared pending her arrival to meet
her husband there.
