MINERS

Florence Bennett and girls, and
then some more girls, with Sam
Howe's Love Makers" are making
merry this week at Miners Empire
Theatre In one of the "girliest' shows
that has visited this city. Every size
and style of girl is represented. In
every department, however, Miss Ben
nett excelled, her pleasing appearance
and excellent singing voice easily
earned her the position Of star of the
aggregation.
Howe appears in mis- well-known

Throughout the two acts, which are
divided into four scenes. he has

SHUBERT

The Pathe Freres films at the Shu-
bert Theatre. The, Life of our Sa-
yiour.n are u wonderful combination
OF deeply reverent historically cor
rect pictures and q mass of bright
color. the latter made possible by the
Vari-colored costumes worn In BID
lical times.
The scenes for the most part are
much the same as shown in the ka-
lem films, but they are filled with
far more action and vivid colorlns'
due to the fact that they are SHOWN
i'm natural colors. More people were
used in the Pathe Freres production,
as many as 500 persons being shown
on the screen at one time. rms is
particularly noticeable in the scenes
showing the wise men and shepherds
following the star of Bethlehem TO
the birthplace of Christ. A process
sion apparently a mile long OF wise
men. shepherds. women and children,
some mounted on donkeys and cam
els. and countless sheep wends It's
way over hill and dale following the
guiding star, and such a wealth OF
color has probably never been Wit
messed in a picture before.
As mentioned above, the Pathe
films are more dramatic than the
Kalem, This Is especially so in the
scene showing the massacre of the
innocents following Herod's order
that all children under the age of two
years shall be killed. In the scenes
showing this the mothers with In
fants in their arms are shown run
ming wildly, seeking safe hiding
places for their offspring. Then come
the soldiers, clad in red tunics and
brandishing huge swords and shields.
Infants are ruthlessly torn from
mothers arms and slain.
Another scene, quietly shown in the
Kalem films, but very dramatically
in the Pathe, is where Mary Magda-
lene throws herself at the feet of
Jesus. She appears at the doorway
of an immense temple and almost
like a wild person PUSHES from one
to another in the temple looking for
Jesus When she finds Him she
throws herself in a heap at his feet.
A splendid scene is the entry of
Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sun
day. Fully 800 persons are used in
this scene. and the brilliant costumes,
waving palms and little children
greeting Jesus makes q most strik-
ing spectacle. The Pathe films are
at all times, spectacular, but this does
not in the least detract from their
historic value, nor does 1t rob the
wonderful story of Christ's life of an
iota of the absorbing interest that
the pictures induce.
After the crucifixion and the de-
scent of Christ from the cross is
shown, followed by his burial, resur-
rection and ascension into heaven.
AS q splendid spectacle, brilliant in
color and action, and withal telling
with historic faithfulness the life his
tory of Christ the Pathe films are
masterpiece and one that should be
seen by every person interested in
Biblical history.

PROCTOR.S

California musical offering
staged by Jesse L. Lasky, is the
headliner of a good vaudeville pro-
gram at Proetor's this week. Seven
other acts, including one in which
Bobby Walthour, the six-day bicycle
rider, and the Princeton girls are
starring, make up the rest of the pro-
gram. Motion pictures are shown
between the acts.
The Lasky offering is a pleasing
one, replete with comedy. The scene
is laid in the Southeast. A railroad
company is building a railroad that
will cut through the spot where a
church stands. The padre and, the
natives protest to the engineer IN
charge, but he is helpless, as he has
orders to go ahead with the line.
The natives, in the absence of the
priest, decide to hang the American
engineer and to decoy him. Cali
fornia," pretty Spanish girl, makes
love to him. In the meantime an
Englishman appears in the neighbor-
hood, and in q conversation an
nounces that he is the owner of the
railroad, which causes the Spaniards
to plan a double hanging. Just as
the hangings are about to take place
the priest appears. The Englishmap
asks to be informed of the reason for
hangings, and when told, he prompt
ly issues orders that the railroad Is
to be run around the church. During
the action of the piece several musi-
cal numbers are given The English
man is the provider of the fun. Miss
Nellie Brewster takes the part OF
California.
Other numbers are Eldridge, equili-
brist; Ruth Powell, dancing violinist;
Charles 4. Place and company in a
farce, THE Mayor and the Spook;
the Three Du Ball Brothers, dancers;
Evans and Arllen, with funny milf
tary sketch, and Cullhane, Prince and
Ross, singers.

ORPHEUM

The Brownell- Stork Stock Com
pany shifted from it's usual program
of playing modern comedies and
dramas this week and has taken up
Joseph Jefferson's famous rip Van
Wrinkle" with Edward Van Sloan
playing the title role.
rip Van Wrinkle" which is quite
an extraordinary play for a stock
company to undertake because of
the great number of scenery changes
required, is we'll presented by the
popular Orpheum players. The va
rious mountain scenes are we'll exc
cuted, especially that one in which
Rip takes his twenty-year sleep.
Charlotte Wade Daniel as
Gretchen, Rips terror of q wife, did
not put the vim into her part which
the role calls for. She also missed
several opportunities during the
emotional passages in her part.
Van Sloan seemed to please the au-
dienee In the title role, but he could
not drop his acquired English ac-
cent to assume the broken Dutch
dialect always aseribed to Rip Van
Wrinkle.
Miss Brownell portrayed the part
of Meenie, Rips daughter, during the
last two acts after Rips sleep. AL
though she had but little to say, her
every appearance on the stage was
the signal for applause. Clifford
Storl1 is resting this week and does
not appear In the cast.
Miss Brownell appeared before the
footlights last night between the
fourth and fifth acts to give out
the shirtwaist awards. Her gIrlish
manner and winning ways seemed to
make a big impression on the audi
ence.
Next week the company will be
seen in 1.-THE Wall Street Girl" o
musical comedy.

NEWARK

The Newark pictures From the
Manager to the Cross" are preceded
by reels showing Egypt as 1t Was
in the Time of Moses" and "A Day In
Jerusalem" The first shows the old
methods of cultlvating the soil, brick
making and other early arts. In the
reels showing Jerusalem a splendid
idea is obtained of how the Holy City
looks today and also shows pictures
OF historic spots between Jerusalem
and the Dead Sea.
In making the pictures of the life Of
Christ, the Kalem Company TOOK
large company of actors direct to
the Holy Land, and after clothing
them in the costumes of Biblical
times proceeded to make the films as
near as could be on the actual spots
agreed upon by historians as the
scenes of the incidents portrayed.
The pictures show the life of Christ
from the annunciation to his death
by cruclfixion on the, cross. In the
| making of the pictures three persons
, were used to impersonate Christ at
the different periods of his career.
Reverence for the subject treated
is apparent throughout the five reels
that constitute the photo drama, and
| it Is evident that the scenario writer
and stage manager had. made care
| full study of the subjects before ar
ranging for the actual taking of the
pictures.
For this reason the films should ap-
peal to all students of Bible history,
| for the characters portray their diff
| ferent roles in such manner to make

| days when Christ was ON earth. II

Some of the more beautiful scenef
are those of the shepherds and tbs

other scenes of more than pressins
interest are the fight of Mary and
Joseph with the child Jesus into
| Egypt, where the Pyramids and the
| Sphinx, as they actually are, are
shown at close range; the scene in
the temple when Christ purges 1t OF
| the money-lenders and the marriage
feast at Cana, where Christ turns the
water to wine. A scene showing
| Christ walking on the water Is a
wonderful piece of Photographic art.
During the showing of the pictures
church music and hymns are rem.
dered by a very capable choir. their
| work adding much to the solemnity
and reverence that marks the pic

point one should not miss seeing the
pictures, while as a Photographic
! work they are wonderful creations.

Ballet Mistress Teaches
Society Toe Dancing
Nine. Verhoeven, of the Metro
poIitan, Provides Classic
Pirouettes for Tango.

Tango-mad society women. seeking
novel features in terpsichorean d.
versions, are now taking lessons in
ballet dancing.
The new craze has extended from
New York to this city. and it is said
that two women prominent in New
ark society are. among the pupils of
Nine Pauline Nerhoeven, the ballet
mistress of the Metropolitan Opera
House.
Nine. Verhoeven's regular class
consists of thirty-eight or forty girls,
many of whom are taught free on
condition that they afterward enroll
themselves in the corps de ballet of
the opera company. This Is regarded
by the girls rather as q privilege
than a disadvantage, inasmuch as
the pay received by members of the
ballet far exceeds that which could
be obtained for an equivalent amount
of work in almost any other occu-
patton. After a years teaching un-
der Nine Verhoeven a girl is quail
fed to enter the ballet. her salary
at first amounting to s15 a week.
This, of course, is increased at rate
commensurate with the Improvement
shown by the dancer.
OF the pay pupils a large number
belong to some of New York's most
distinguished families. Yet, there is
no discrimination shown: and, il
anything, Nine. Nerhoeven, who is
amiability itself to every one, is, if
possible, even more considerate
toward the girls who are not able to
pay their way through than toward
those who pay So q lesson.
Latterly q new element has begun
to manifest itself in the classroom,
which Is great hall on the top floor
of the Metropolitan Opera House. A
number of handsome young matrons
accompanied by maids alight daily
now from touring cars at the For
tieth street entrance of the opera
house and trip into the great build

A well knit, dramatic Incident re-
pudiating circumstantial evidence
and locating guilt is wildly related
in this picture. The son, Daniel Mar
tin, is accused of knowledge of his
fathers unexpected death after an
analysis that shows him to have been
the victim of a cup of poisoned
coffee Daniels sweetheart is ago
nized over this turn of affairs and
she calls in detectives to help her
clear his name.
In the Investigation a black stain
Is noted on the dining room ceiling
directly above the place at the table
at which the victim drank the coffee.
This stain proves to be the source of
moisture which dripped down into the
coffee cup and on analysis is found
to be deadly poison. Following the
clue to the rooms above, the detec-
tives discover that the liquid came
from an overturned coutainer of en-
graver's acid. Counterfeiters' casts
are also discovered, the rooms
watched and the counterfelters
caught.
Daniel Martin, instead. of suffering
for crime of which he was innocent,
is indicated and marries the girl who
has helped him so pluckily.

KEENEYS

Several entertaining acts are on
the bill at Keeney's Theatre for the
first half of this week. They include
the Van Der Koors. magieians and
comedians, who are high-class enter
tanners in both lines. Elaborate stage
settings are used for the act and
contribute much to its effect.
Feats of illusion come in rapid sue
cession and fit into the general plot
of the act. Felix, in his impersona-
ton Of a '.mind-reading duck" is the
star of the act. He gives a very
funny burlesque on mind-reading and
conventional tricks of trained ami
mails. Felix provokes continual
laughter.
Contrasted with Felix are real
birds, a troupe of cockatoos known as
"Marzilla's Tropical Tricksters." The
teathered performers prove them
selves capable entertainers and re-
markable imitators OF the human
voice
Other features OF the bin are Jane
Wilson, who comes from the Elmer
aid Isle with an act on the American
rag-time style; the instrumental
Quintet, five clever musicians; All
Hipon, a Scotch ventroloquist and
comedian, and Grace Ladell and COM
pany in sharp shooting act. A Sc
lection of entertaining motion pic
