PARAMOUNT

THE Country Mouse" at the Para
mount Theatre the FIRST three days of
this week, is one of the best Bos-
worth pictures that has yet been
made.
1t Is full of entertaining incidents
that could happen in any household,
and more so today than at any other
time, when countrymen are being
elected to the legislature and have to
take their stand in society at the cap
ital with the best.
And if the legislators wife does not
live "up to the times" she is liable to
see her husband slipping from her.
1.-THE Country Mouse" realizes this
lust in time and finally adapts herself
also to the surroundings.
May Irwin in Mrs. Black Is Back
will be at the Paramount Thursday,
Friday and Saturday OF this week.
Tall Esen Morgan, manager of the
Paramount, is arranging some special
music for Thanksgiving Day, when
that theatre is expecting to entertain
capacity houses. Clarence Reynolds,
organist, the player of the famous
Storm" will probably play the organ
at the Paramount tomorrow in the
absence of William Y. Webbe, ths
regular organist. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Morgan Is endeavor1ng 70
secure Mr. Reynolds for one day a
week for the rest OF the season.

MISS ROSE STAHL IS TRULY
"A PERFECT LADY" AT NEWARK

I and demands that no pictures of her.
self in tights be posted in that town
| for her sister to see. The manager
refuses to accede to her demands,
there is a quarrel and Lucille quits
the company, followed by BERTHE
Snyder and Flossie Day. With their
assistance she opens an ice cream
tango parlor, which soon has all
Sycamore by the ears. Everybody is
learning secretly and loudly voicing
his disapproval in the open.
David Grayling, the towns leading
minister, calls frequently to remon-
strate with Miss Higgins chat was
her real name), and finds himself
converted to u broader, more human
point of view. Miss Higgins, a ded
by BERTHE and Flossie and her little
sister Claire, triGmphantly finds four
Biblical verses anent the glory and
the worth of dancing. Everything
would go smoothly from this point
were it not for the bigoted, hard
headed John Griswold Sycamore's
richest man and chief tyrant. He
is dead set against Miss Higgins, and
does his best to drive her from
town. His son Robert loves Lucile's
sister Claire. Griswold drives him
from home, and reveals Lucile's past,
whereupon she decided to go away,
to return to what she speaks of with
the whimsicality that does not de-
sert her at any time as her art"
Everything turns out beautifully
however. Old Griswold has a change
Of heart and consents to the young
peoples marriage, and Lucille is
headed off by the min ster on her
way TO the train and is made to say
that she'll marry him.
1t is pity that LUCILLE was
written in such an even key. The
whole effect Of the play is that of
quietness. It is quietly played and
quietly watched Occasionally
ripple of mirth, and now and then a
genuine shout-as when she reads
the verse ''by jeremiah but it don't
give his last name'-stirs the audi
ence, after which 1t settles back to
watch again, with mild interest.
Beatrice Noyes scores little per-
sonal triumph as the ingenious
Flossie, whose slang is almost as
persistent as that of Lucille. Frank
Beamlch makes of the minister q
most lilSable person, whose sense of
humor keeps him human and not too
sanctimonious. The other principals
are adequately cast.
An interesting bit is the showing
of moving PICTURES of Mr.. and Mrs.
Vernon Castle, during which Lucille
reveals to her bucolic audience mar
velous bits of the history of those
dancers.

COMEDIANS RULE
ON KEENEY BILL

For the first half of Thanksgiving
week Keeney's Theatre is Offering a
strong bill, containing many enter
tanning vaudeville tid-bits. There are
several good comedy acts and music
finds an important position on the
program.
Charles Innis and Maude Ryan
offer a pleasing tallSfest and singing
act in which the latter makes one of
the "hits" on the bill and receives
large share of the applause. Miss
Ryan is a coincidence of no small
order and in addition possesses a
voice of rich quality. Her partner
also is good
Much laughter is caused by Smith
and Campbell, two able comedians.
Their act is a laugh from start to
finish. Although somewhat hampered
by opening the bill, Roach and Fran
els score with q comical talkfest and
song number.
Joseph Whalen and Company stage
a humorous sketch of an interest
holding character. Another talking
and singing novelty brings forward
Mccormick and Lane. Loro and
Payne contribute knockabout
acrobatic Offering. The -Four MaXins
are jugglerS.

DELEGATES SONG
TO 'CORMACK

As a tribute of admiration. John
McKenna, of II Cabinet street, a
music teacher, has dedicated the fol-
lowing song to John Mccormack the
Irish tenor. who will sing at the First
Regiment Armory tonight;
THE MUSIC OF ERIN.
All nations have music, but none will
compare
To the sweet songs of Erin, our land
ever fair;
We are thinking again of our home
far away.
And the sweet strains of music most
charming and gay.
Our thoughts wander back TO that far
distant cline,
Ever charming with beauty and
splendor sublime;
No time will efface from fond memory
so dear
The sweet songs we cherish and still
long to hear.
The grand classic lines sublimely may
flow,
More dear to our hearts are the songs
that we know.
No music more charming, more noble
or grand,
Than the songs Of dear Erin, our own
native land.
1.-The Last Rose of Summer" brings
joy with tear,
Likewise the sweet strains of xii
larney" SO dear:
Dear Kathleen Mavourneen" and
brave Minstrel Boy"
And Come Back to Erin" we sing
with great joy.
The valleys all smiling, and Erin's
green shore,
And the dear little shamrock we love
evermore;
Let Erin remember the good days of
old
When they Wore the bright coIors, tho
green and the gold,
In our dear little island across the
blue sea.
'Tis a land where the neart sings it's
sorrows with glee--
As long as the sun in its glory Will
shine
The songs of old Erin will live for all
time.
Dedicated to John Mccormack, the
Irish tenor. by
JOHN McKENNA.
