rHE KREIsLER REoITAL.,

The violinists of today owe a great
debt to the noted violinist, Fritz
Kreisler. The repertoire of this in
strument is surprisingly small com
pared with that of the piano, for ex-
ample, and those who have gone to
violin recitals in the past and have
had to content themselves with parts
or the whole of concertos with piano
accompaniment and with linaccom-
panied Bach pieces, realize that they
were not the most stirring of musical
events
Kreisler. who is a deep Student OF
the literature of music. realized this
years ago and he decided TO mark out
a new path for himself. Buried IN
libraries and musical collections in
Italy, Austria and Germany were
vast quantities of music by composers
long forgotten. who fiourlshed, par
ticularly in Italy, during the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries
1t is the classics thus unearthed
that make his programs of dis
tinguished attractiveness.
This wonderful violinist and COM
poser will play at the Kreuser Audi
torium, Newark. Friday evening

the most talented and gifted girls ap-
pearing in vaudeville, are also fea-
tured, their action including a reper-

Last Week of the
Griffith Picture
at Newark Theafer
''The Birth of a Nation" Still
Plays to Capacity Every
Afternoon and Night.

1.-THE Birth of a Nation starts its
last week in the Newark Theater with
matinee today. There will be two
performances daily for the remainder
of the engagement, the run terminat-
ing next Saturday. This is the last
opportunity the public will have of
witnessing this wonderful offering in
this part of the country, as the en-
gagement in the Liberty Theater,
New York, will come to close New
Years night The piece ran S02 con-
secutive performances in that play
house, breaking all records in point
of attendance and presentations. The
engagement at the Newark Theater
is a record breaker as the attendance
there has been almost as great as
when originally offered few weeks
ago
1t is not surprising that the public
fiocks to see this Griffith masterpiece.
1t is almost miracle. If he had
turned the trick of producing THE
Birth of a Nation in the early days
of American history he would have
been burned at the stake for his
witchery. But he is the one man now
with Alladdin's Lamp. And the pub
lie knows it.
ID. w. Griffith, the man who con-
ceived the idea for "The Birth of a
Nation,"i and directed it until it be-
came real palpitating subject, be-
longs now to the public. He is pro-
claimed the modern Shakespeare
oe a new dramaturgy. This is not a
one man opinion. The merit of his
materpiece has been recognized and
he has been placed upon high
pedestal.
1t is said there are desirable seats
for all performances during this
weeks run. There may now be a
chance for the tardy ones.

French Pictures
/ of the Great War
at the Shuberf
A Graphic Portrayal of Military
Events as Seen by the
Eyes of France.

There have been several "official
war pictures" shown recently, and
now we are to have another, which
will be presented at the shubert
Theater on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Saturday, January 3,
4 and s, respectively, called ION
The Battlefields of France" and
claimed by its owners to be the best
set.
These pictures were shown recently
IN Toronto. and in it's criticism the
Toronto World spoke as follows:
Multiply all you have heard and read
about the war by ten and then you
will have some idea of On the Battle
fields of France The French official
war pictures of the great war
are to be exhibited at the Royal
Alexandra for the benefit of select
audience of dozen people. The
films were projected on the screen at
q local downtown theater after the
regular performance on Friday night,
in the little group there was a
Frenchman, one who had been in the
trenches and who had returned to his
home in Toronto. When it was over
he declared with characteristic en-
phasis that he did not believe such
pictures possible, but there they were
with the evidence of his own eyes TO
tell him they were true"
1t is only possible to give faint
idea in words of the impression these
pictures create on an audience. They
are the war itself. There will be
faithful reproductions showing sew
eral OF the great battles, army air
4&iips and flights, assaults and hand
grenade action; removal of the dead
and wounded; reviewing of 100000
troops by Generals Joffre and Dubois;
also views of II. NJ. King George ",
and H. r.. H. the Prince of Wales,

nance with DIR. Joshua X. Williams

pictures will be accompanied by the

HE'S A YANKEE.

IT am probably the only actor who
can claim the distinction of being
born on the Fourth of July" says
William Farnum, and I'll bet George
Cohan would be willing to start all
over again to be able to say that.
The year was 1876, so you see there
was the spirit of 'seventy-six' mixed
up in 1t, too, and, by the way, just
to rub it in, the place was Boston,
Mass, not far from the Bunker Hill
monument, making me a genuine,
blown-in-th panel Yankee, if ever
there was one, with the possible ex-
ception that-leaving out baked beans,
my pet abomination-I loathe the

DOESN'T LIKE THE rHEATER.

Mabel Taliaferro was delighted
with the pictures she saw, and since
has become an enthusiast. Despite
her marvellous success on the speak
ing stage. Miss Taliaferro never cared
for the theater. 1t was against her
wishes that she ever witnessed a per-
formance, even when her sister,
Edith, was appearing. She was six
teen years old before she ever
stepped inside of a theater. The first
theatrical performance she ever saw
was The Runaways."

THE MARKETS


Wheat and will feed stuffs have now
reached their top price, accordinr to the
opinion of several of the local dealers.
Profit taking among the wheat buyers
in Portland and lack Of ships for trans
porting grains seem to have brought
tn market to a standstill
Pork is in good demand and showing
strength. The price on foot quoted to-
day is cents.
There is no change in the fruit or
vegetable market and eggs refuse to 80
below 25 cents per dozen, although the
Portland market is rather weak.
