At the Regent

When Rex Beach wrote his most fa.
nous story, "The Spoilers" he little
dreamed that the piece could be filmed
so marvelously that it would rival the
description of scenes and Incidents
from the authors pen, out this has
really occurred, as film playgoers who
visited the Regent theatre yesterday
have already noted The great picture,
complete in every detail and depicting
life in quaint old Alaskan village,
was booked for the Regent by Mana
ger Z. Megaro for three days. 1t was
given its first production here yester-
day and will be shown again tonight,
tomorrow afternoon and evening. The
story is told in nine reels.
The entire three acts of the play are
given on the film and the scenes far
surpass those produced on theatre
stage. The spoilers, who by their fakes
and forgeries acquired rich mining
lands in Alaska, find themselves con
fronted with the honest hardworking
classes of the north and the resulting
scenes which the film portrays are re-
markable. In one act an entire mining
village is blown up by dynamite
Those who have read the wonderful
book should not fail to see the film
play, shown at the Regent at popular
prices. For those who have not read
the masterpiece, the production tells the
author 8 story in a manner even more
gripping than the book. Adv.#

peared in this play and since that time

that is without parallel in the history of
the American theatre. lis coming en-

The Reason Why

The name of John Philip Sousa is a
household word in every part of the
civilized world, and he has certainly
done more to educate the great masses
in music than any other living man.
Sousa band music is different from
other band music because Sousa's s in
strumentation is more elaborate than
that Of any other band, and his re-
sources for producing effects are much
more elaborate than is usual with either
bands or orchestra. This, together with
the unequalled excellence of the >indi-
vidual players, is reason why there is
so much enthusiasm and enjoyment at a
Sousa concert. Another, and the main
reason is, that the personality + Soura
himself so dominates the performances
of the band that the results are beyond
comparison, and make the Sousa style
inimitable. Sousa and his band will be
here on Wednesday evening, April IA,
at the Majestic.

At the Victoria

Ever since the installation of the
new Hope-Jones Unit Pipe Organ Or
chestra, great crowds have been de-
lighted with it's wonderful music, prov
ing that the efforts of the management
to provide something more than just
pictures for their patrons, has been
very highly appreciated. Music of an
unusual character is furnished by men
of more than ordinary musical ability
at each show and this innovation has
made a decided hit with people who
want only the best. During the presen-
tation of high class pictures each ac-
tion of the play is accompanied by
this great instrument and gives each
its proper tone expression.
All the numerous musical instru-
ments can be duplicated on this great
organ. Every person who hears this
musical marvel is loud in praise of it
and of the ranner it is played. Every
day is fe~sure day at the Victoria,
but an offering of unsual interest is
a six-part silent drama entitled, "The
Blue Mouse" Of the show of the same
name played by an all-star cast.

At the Orpheum

There s one nice comparison between
Jess Willard and the Orpheum s new
show. They re both winners. Those who
witnessed either of yesterdays per-
f0rmances will readily admit the bill s
excellence, and the many sterling Keith
attractions coupled with the news of the
fight down to the finish in the after
noon, turned the popular theatre into
scene of Jubilee. Some old favorites in
new acts help the popularity of the new
show considerably. For instance, there
is Sam Mann, the eccentric comedian,
who holds the record as mirth pro-
ducer at the Orpheum, when he appear
ed there some few years ago in "The
New Leader" This time he is starring
in new comedy called "Lots And
Lots of IT," real estate playlet, and
it $ scream from start to finish. Mr..
Mann has much opportunity for his
quiet drollery am ther, are a number
of very funny situations in the play.
He has the assistance of an excellent
cast. Another big treat of the same bill
is "'Nifty Nonsense, the title of a
conglomeration Of nonsense and song,
offered by Diamond and Brennan. These
are prime favorites here, too, and they
scored immensely.
Also Trovoto, the popular violinist, in
very interesting repertoire of classics
and popular songs, ranked with the best
of them. After Mr.. Trovoto had ex-
hausted his repertoire and the audience
still elamored for more, he came forth
with the announcement of the finish of
the prize fight, which had just been re-
ceived. Charles Lawlor and daughters,
vaudeville's delightful character sing
ers, are ait the Orpheum this week after
a fve-year absence, presenting brand
new offering. The bill is splendid
throughout.-Adv.*
