DAVIS THEATRE TODAY.
The Island of Regeneration, Six Part Vitasraph Feature, With Edith Storey, and Biz Vaudeville Act.

The big feature production for today and tomorrow is a six-part picturiza- ton of Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady's great novel, featuring the celebrated screen favorite. Edith Storey, and an excellent cast of Vitagraph players
 Tho Island of Regeneration, a story of two caStawayS on a South Pacific island, is one of the Vitagraph's great est achievements, for the highly color ed tale Is a series of beautiful pictures that move from Virginia in the sev- euties to the southern isle and from social affairs in Frisco to a tableau of Edith Storey as a crouching nymph beside a pool.
 Oh, yes, the nude in the motion pie ture art has arrived, for here this fine actress, in order to properly present the story, must needs join her sister player of another film in the unclothed tableau. There is nothing offensive in the picture. Miss Storey is shown bathing in a secluded pool on the lone- some islet and as she had few clothes she had to swim in natures clothing When she crouches hidden in a secret cave above the water the posture is artistic and with no touch of undue revelation. As she lithely swims about her poses are those of unconscious grace.
 The story is of a society girl who goes a-cruising with a yachtsman 1T defiance of conventions. When h, eventually attempts to win her by force she jumps into gasoline launch in which she drifts to lone island On 1t lives a man who was cast ava, there as boy. She would teach hin English, but he learns-love. Thre years after rescue comes, but becaus lying accusation destroys his faith il her she makes him believe she ha ended her life. He goes to America but after more years returns to hel It is all pictured in entrancing fashion and everyone will enjoy seeing thi great picture.
 The vaudeville attraction for Mon day. Tuesday and Wednesday is Tn Four Rubes from Pumpkinville, one c the finest male quartettes ever hear here. They are all good singers an their harmony is a pleasure to liste to. There is plenty of comedy in tn act and the two combined makes a excellent entertainment The remain der of the bill consists of Mutue Movies and comedies, including the in teresting Mutual War Weekly.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.


 Victor Moore. who is one of the most distinguished comedy stars in America and whose name is most intimately as- sociated with the most important George M. Conan produtions. makes his photodramatic debut in this offer ing which also has the distinction of having been offered at the Strand the- atre in New York for the first anni- versary week of that world-renowued institution. The play on which the photodrama is founded is commonly regarded as the most laughable satire ever produced on Broadway. where il ran for an entire season, and did much to make the fame of it's author, George Bronson Howard.

COLONIAL THEATRE.
Lillian Russell. Queen of the Stage, in
 Wildfire, Five Acts.

Everywhere throughout the entire dramatic world Lillian Russell is lock- ed upon as the most, beautiful type O. American womanhood, the embodiment. of bodily grace. and manner that is of the most refined type. Her long lis- of dramatic achievements and success es have placed her upon a platform of public opinion and admiration that has never been equalled. Several times she has been seen in this city in musical productions, when she was accompa- nied by stars, but of lesser magnitude,
 yet brilliant stars all the while. Tn
 offering her today in the mammoth
 Shubert feature in five acts, entitled
 Wildf1re, the management feels the as-
 surance that no other dramatic star
 mas created so strong a sensation in
 the film world. hence the feature to-
 day stands alone in its remarkable
 attractiveness. The story of Wildfire is one of interest and abounds in thrill ing situations of a highly interesting order. chiefly about a famous racing horse by the name of Wildfire. The daughter of the owner of this horse ie
 in danger of losing her inheritance through the criminal operations of g jockey and a friend who Is gambler The legacy is about to fall into the ! hands of a designing man when the daughter overhears the plot and the | bribery of the jockey who Is to ridt | Wiidfire is discovered and the estate l falls into the right hands. In every scene Miss Russell is the center of at. l traction, and her loveliness is en. hanced by the magnificent gowns sh, employs to correctly carry \ out tn, I character she is portraying. The fac {! that this is a mammoth Shubert fea' ture is along sufficient guarantee O it's excellence, and the photography il at all times of the highest type. Thi
 feature is for today only.

KICK IN
Coming to Davis Theatre Thursday
 Evening.

A new thrill is promised theatre goers of this city when that powerful comedy drama entitled Kick In is pre- serted at the Davis theatre for an en- gagement of one night, Thursday, Oct. 7th. and a new series of laughs will accompany the thrill, for Kick In is known to be a perfect blend of thrill ing situations and laughable episodes, projected across the footlights by a set of characters as original as they are crooked.
 It must be known that Kick In deals with a number of crooked people, some respectable ones, and the police de- partment of New York. About the latter much has been written and pre- sented on the stage. but 1t is said that It remained for the author of Kick In to show the central office force up Tn a new and unique light.
 What the crooked people and those who have reformed do to the police, and what the police do to them, makes the story of the play. which is told in a style so new and refreshing thai blase New York sat up and applauded public theatre, thereby pleasing the producer. A. H. Woods. and making the author, Willard Mack, rich.
 There Is so much action in this play so many stirring situation, so much ol dramatic and comic value, that an out
 
 absolutely no idea of the enjoyment 1T store for him. One must see Kick It to appreciate it and to understand wh, several New York critics were stirret to write that it succeeded in carrying the first night audience off its feet
 Perhaps the success of Kick In wal due in large measure to its strong un dercurrent of sympathy. Certainly m two characters could be placed in nor predicaments than Chick Hewes ant his beautiful young wife find them selves during the course of this un usual play. Although they are reform ed crooks who still associate witt criminals, the spectator cannot hell sympathizing with them when h learns that they are trying to Hv straight and at the same time befrien former associates. It is this softnes of heart which finally entangles Chic and his wife in a set of circumstance the parallel of which has never bee seen on any stage heretofore.
