Curtain Calls

Donald L. Buchanan, one of the
scenario writers of the Vitagraph
Company, author of "413" and THE
Juggernaut," is the possessor of a
unique ring, reputed to be over four
hundred years old, which he bought
for few dollars in a pawn shop in
Buenos Ayres. The ring, which
weighs nine ounces, is OF beaten gold.
twenty-five carats fine, beautifully
carved, with a large central dia-
mond surrounded by twelve smaller
ones in a setting, of elaborate work.
manship, that revolves on a swivel.
Mr.. Buchanan secured the ring while
OH a trip with his late father, who
represented the United States in the
South American city.
The pawnbroker from whom the
ring was purchased related a story
that goes back to the sixteenth CEN
tury. In the year 1910, when Fran
cisco Pizarro conquered Peru, max
ing Atahualpa, the last reigning Inca,
a prisoner, he demanded a ransom
equal to a house full of gold. Among
the treasure Pizarro received was
the ring, which he presented to one
of his captains. This captain mar
ried an Indian maiden, to whom he
gave it as a wedding present, and
her descendants bequeathed it to the
eldest daughter of each succeeding
generation. 1t was believed the ring
exerted an influence that affected the
finances of the owner, as each per-
son to whom the ring descended lost
a portion of the great wealth origi-
nally possessed by the family. The
one who pawned it. and who related
the story to the pawnbroker, was
reduced to the extremity of parting
with it, but who. so the story goes,
some two months after, became the
bride of one of the richest planters
of Argentina.
Mr.. Buchanan is not superstitious
and does not believe in the magic in
fluence, either good or bad, of inani-
mate objects, and could not be in
duced to part with the ring for many
times it's value.

SCREEN VAUDEVILLE
VILLAIN RETURNS TO TAUNT
HERO AT ORPHEUM THEATRE

The days Of the melodrana Of the
blood and thunder type may have
passed forever with the advent Of the
movies and such screen thrillers as
The Million Dollar Mystery" and
the THE Perils Of Pauline" but none
of these wonderful creations can sur
pass big Jimmy Clarity" That is
the name Of the play written by owen
Davis and presented by the Forsberg
Players at the Orpheum Theatre this
week.

the run Of plays which have been
given this season by the Forsberg
Players. Because the audience does
not have to believe it really happened
or the chances Of such a thing occur
ring in the way the author tells US,
does not rob the performance Of its
entertaining qualities. Mr.. Davis did
not clip the wings of his imagination
when il started soaring skyward.
The story tells of the trials and
tribulations Of Jim Clarity, an es-
capped convict, who though accused
Of murder was sentenced entirely by
circumstantiai eyidence-all of which
was false. All of that happened twen-
ty years before the curtain assembled
on the first of the four acts. Clarity
has taken new name, as well as a
wife and son. and has climbed up
ward until he is known as John Dex-
ter. division superintendent of the
California Central railroad. Then his
past arises. spectre-like, to shatter his
Illusions of even greater success.
Through the Vaccinations of the
villainous DIR. Hugh Malone. which

the administering of morphine, until
she becomes addicted to the habit.

Girl Pianist to Make
American Debut at Benefit
for Beth Israel Hospital

Lucille Aranoff, a girl pianist, who
has studied under Scharwenka, will
make her American debut in Newark
on January 3, at the benefit perfor-
nance at Keeney's Theatre for the
Beth Israel Hospital.
The committee, consisting of Louis
v. Aronson, chairman, and Philip j.
Schotland, Oscar Weingarten, Louis
Lippman and Arthur Phillips, are
sparing no efforts to make this one
of the most memorable events of the
season. They announce that boxes
on the mezzanine floor of the theatre
will be auctioned off on December
81, at which time, it is believed, many
societies will contribute their share
toward the success of the perform
ance by bidding for boxes. Tickets
may be bespoken now by application
to DR.. Philip Hood at the hospital.

GRACE GEORGE FIBS READILY
IN"THE TRUTH" AT THE SHUBERT

will have none of her until she tells
him all. One of the best scenes in
the play is that between Becky and
her father, wherein he tells her of
how he has lied, how her mother left
him because she could not believe In
him, and how Becky must 60 back
to her husband and begin over be-
fore it is too late. With deep sin
certify they discuss their mutual fall
ings, so alike, and find themselves
drawn closer together, Just two
tramps," as Becky pathetic9lly
states it.
Two days later her father an
nounces that Warder is coming. He
had telegraphed that Becky was
dying, and told Becky that she must
bear him out-at least, that she
must pretend to be recovering,
though very weak and ILL., Becky re-
luctantly consents, but at the last her
slowly developing desire for truth
asserts itself, and, all, contrite, she
tells her husband just what a weak,
foolish creature she is and begs to
be forgiven. A comedy that isn't al
ways comic is 1.-The Truth" showing
in hundred phases the touch of a
master hand.
Miss Helen Reimer plays Mrs. Cres-
.
''ree-fined" landlady, with a delight
full realization of the roles require
ments. Mrs. Crespigny wants to
marry Mr.. Roland, and doesn't mind
saying so, but she remains a lady to
the last, even if she is a fool. to use
her own words. Witness her deport-
ment when she elegantly asks Becky
il she'll take a little something's
glass of raspberry vine-gurr?'
Norman Trevor, as Warder, the
grave, trusting husband, proves a
splendid foil for inconsequential
Becky, and Frank Goldsmith conveys
a distinct picture of that cheapest Of
characters, the married male fiirt.
Becky's father is played by Albert
Brown with great attention to detail.
The deterioration of the man, who
lives only to gamble and to drink,
is shown in variety Of subtle move
ments of the hands and uncertain
twisting5 of his face.
Madeline Meredith combines heart
break and vindictiveness most ade-
quately as Eve, Lindon's cast-off wife,
and Juliet Fremont is cast as Laura
Fraser, Becky's friend. Edwin Mar
tyn has a small role. THE Truth is
carefully staged and wholly worth
while.

HORRORS Of WAR
SHOWN At NEWARK

Pictures fresh from the war are be-
ing shown at the Newark Theatre
this week. In spite of the Indictment
weather last night, the house was
well filed. The pictures are the firsC
real war scenes shown in Newark.
The war pictures will be the attrac-
ton at the Newark for the entire
week.
They are moving pictures taken by
a staff photographer of O Chicago
newspaper who was with the Bel
gian army in Belgium. Scenes of
real action are shown. Although the
photographer could not get near
enough with safety to snap the adj
Yancing Germans he did succeed in
photographing the Belgian firing line
with the soldiers falling at inter-
walls and the wounded and dead be-
ing dragged away to make room for
the living.
Being with the Belgian army, Ed
win F. Weigle, the photographer, of
course took pictures only of the Bel
gian activities. Several of the reels,
tured Germans and still another reel
shows hundreds of destitute Belgian
refugees of all classes fleeing to
safety past Dutch border patrol
into neutral Holland.
In every picture there is action.
By coincidence the camera was
turned on farmhouse and picture
was taken just as the house was
struck and demolished by a German
shell. In several OF the pictures the
photographer got so near the scene
of actual conflict that he was obliged
to move further back with his films
for safety sake.
Belgian cavalry, artillery and in
fantry are seen going into action,
many of the soldiers calmly smoking
pipes and cigarettes while they pro-
coed to possible death. The pictures
include the famous dog machine-gun
squads" who rendered efficient work
in the attempt of the Belgians to stop
the advancing Germans.
There are pictures of the city of
Antwerp burning from the falling
German shells and the refugees run
ming across a crude bridge, the only
safe exit from the burning city.
Other cities and towns in Belgium
are shown in ruins and everywhere
can be seen the ravages and devas-
tation Of the war.
In scenes of war preparations the
Belgian soldiers may be observed
olBBlnS LT6IlclltS anu DuliuIlB DItdSl-
works not far from the firing line.
In the distance Belgian cavalry are
seen moving toward the smoke in the
background. which donates that a
battle Is raging. In another picture
the Belgian artillery and machine
guns are being placed in position and
later are fired at regular intervals
The most wonderful picture of all,
however, is the scene of actual bat
tie. The Belgians are behind a stone
wall or natural fertilization and are
actually picking off the advancing
Germans. On the other hand the on
coming men of the kaiser are doing
their share of the fighting, for num-
bers of the Be1gians are seen to top
Pile from the wall and collapse, some
times to rise no more.
AS a whole the pictures are very
good and unusual and are well-worth
seeing. They come here direct from
New York city. where they drew
large crowds who were eager to sec
what real war looks like.

ODEON

A revival of oid-time burlesque that
is sure to satisfy the lovers of that
brand of show is being staged this
week at the Odeon Theatre, where the
Merry Burlesquers" are giving a
variety of fun making that is sure to
please.
The three-act olio is the main fea-
ture of the performance. Richard
Craig, in a novel performances. Is
given many curtain calls, so well is
his work appreciated. "The Two
Hicks a laughing comedy, was given
by Artie Lewis and Billy Leonard,
who prove to be great favorites.
An DID act. entitled 1.-THE Girl from
Nomarisville,' was played by Harry
Seyon and Flo Julene, two popular
members of the company.
The opening performance, THAT
Funny Janitor,'' is an act that keeps
the audience in constant laughter.
The closing number, From Broad
way to New York" Is well deserving
of applause.
The Bedford A. A. held a theatre
party at the Odeon Theatre last night.
