ODEON

The success of opening week is
bound to be repeated at the Odeon
Theatre week of Monday, September
ID, with jeanette Dupre and her own
show, a combination full of life.
Jeanette Dupre is said to be the
only woman who actually manages
her own show. She is a strikingly
beautiful woman, and possesses I'M
usual capabilities. Her role as di-
rector of the performances, author of
the book and producer, gives but a.
vague idea of her histrionic abilities.
AS an artist in both song and dance
she ranks with the best on the bur-
leSque stage.
That refined burlesque has added
one OF the most interesting chapters
to events theatrical by accepting Jea-
nette Dupre and her company in the
seasons best shows Will be logically
and conclusively proven when her
organization of forty persons open
the engagement at the Odeon Mon
day matinee With two funny bur-
lettas, an ideal musical revue, a
stroeg olio, a prize beauty chorus
and enough costumes, scenery and
electrical effects to please the most
fastidious critic, Mile. Dupre has
overlooked no details to make the
performances complete.
The opening scene is laid aboard an
ocean liner. Everybody is on the
Good Ship Love- adrift on the wide,
open sea. The comedy in the piece is
decidedly good enough to whet the
appetites of all burlesque patrons.
The musical numbers selected fit the
scene and action to a st." Among the
songs to be offered are "By the Sea,
Three Lieutenants, Keep Your
Eye on Uncle Sam and the Sailors
Hornpipe.' Scenic effects are equal
to anything seen on the burlesque
stage almost anywhere. The entire
scene has the nautical jauntiness and
jingle akin to the famous Gilbert and
Sullivan comic opera, "H. NJ S. Pima
fore"
The screaming burletta, 1.-THE Order
of Buffaloes," closes the bill in a
blaze of glory and will send the au-
diences away well pleased with what
they have seen. The story of the
play is built around women's lodge,
which decides to admit single men to
its membership. and provides a spec
ial initiation for the new members.
The action is lively and with song
numbers and dances, makes a most
impressive closing scene. Assisting
Mile. Dpure is the team of comedians,
four in number, Mickey hardwood,
James Barton, Al Martin and Roy
Burke.
In the olio will be seen the sensa-

Theatre, Frank A. Keeney, the pro-
prietor, is following out the settled
policy of providing plenty of comedy
and acts of novel nature. On the

lures specially designed as mirth-
provokers and also some specialties
of a distinctly original type. In the
latter category will be the Three Sa-
voys, two men and a woman, who in
troduce seven four-footed actors, all
bulldogs, who show great skill and
intelligence in the stunts they per-
form with big ball. The act is full
of fun and ginger
An act which is described as big
and spectacular is presented by the
Three Alex, aerobats, equilibrists and
all-around entertainers. They do a
combination of double and triple
gymnastic maneuvers, which are dis
tinctly out of the ordinary; also some
sensational teeth holds.
Lovers of the dramatic will find
much to attract them in Irish Tes-
sie," described as a comedy of real
life. 1t is presented in one act. with
a clever aggregation of players.

cial arrangements are now being
made to get some big acts which have
made good in other cities, but have

viewer as among the classiest and
cleverest Of Its kind the vaudeville
stage has ever provided" Another
act on the bill, 1.-THE Reckless Trio"
is scream from start to finish. A
number of moving picture novelties
are being especially provided for both
bills.
One Of the great features during the
latter half Of next week will be DIR.

polar explorations and his claim to
the conquest of the ultimate north.

ASSURANCE DUETS
ALARM OF PUBLIC.

One could almost hear the cry Of
Help" that went I'D from the public
when il was announced that the Ma
tional Newspaper Syndicate's repre-
sentative. The Newark Star. would
distribute carloads of cyclopedias to
its readers.
Another cyelopedia?" was the pro-
test; and, looking backward, the
reader could see with his minds eye
that endless procession Of cycIope-
dia offers which has invaded many
homes with persistent pleas for in
stalment payments, which resulted
in the books being but little used
and allowed To collect dust undis-
turbed.
During the last few days, those
who have read the announcements
carefully. or who have called at The
Star office and inspected the volumes,
are delighted to learn that their fears
have not been justified.
Peoples Cyclopedia is not only a.
work which every common sense in
dividual wants, but is one that every,
body uses. There has been no wasted
energy in compiling useless material
to swell the volumes so that they.
would seek bulky, but every phrase,
word sentence, and line not abso-
lutely essential to the concrete pres~
entation of facts has been eliminated.
and the meanings made more eleai.
by the addition of beautiful illustra-s
tons.
The National Newspaper Syndi-
Gates allotment for Newark may be
exhausted before the close of next
week, when the offer must positiveiv
end. In the meantime. coupons
should be presented at The Star Of

approval in their productions of cur
rent metropolitan successes. will for
the coming week give Newarkers an
opportunity to see 1.-THE Family Cup

season at the Playhouse, New York.
This play, which deals with a phase

lions, has neglected and lost the COM
panionship of her husband Naturally,

she will be amply able to hold her
own in.
The daily matinees at the Orpheum
have proven popular with the ladies'
and are truly wonderful in that they
afford the chance to see these ex-

orchestra seats at twenty cents make
one wonder how it can be done, but
there it is.

himself in the leading role. On the

manned longer in the cast had not
