DAVIS THEATRE.
Special Attractive Bill for This Week
 Of Vaudeville and Photoplays.

For the first half of this week one of the finest vaudeville and photoplay bills ever presented in this city will be on the boards at the Davis theatre. The headline attraction is Lora, the Human Parrot. This is one of the most sensational acts in vaudeville to- day and comes direct to this theatre from Gordon's Olympia theatre, Bos- ton, where the act has been the talk of the whole city during the past week. If you want to see a real novelty don't miss seeing Lora- Another feature vaudeville number is Pete Curley and company in the hilarious comedy of fering, The Lady, the Liar and the Lion This act is just one riot of fun from the time the curtain rises till the end of the act The third act is Frank Garfield, a refined up to date enter tainer, who has a. line of songs and stories entirely different from any thing ever heard here. The Paramount feature photoplay on this bill is the great American play The Man from Home. with Charles Richman playing the leading role, this is the same play that William Hodge starred in for so many years and was his suggest suc- Cess- In the picture production many scenes that could only be imagined fin the stage version are depicted with intense realism and those who enjoy good pictures should make a special effort to see this production. The re- mainder of the bill includes the fa- nous Mutual War Weekly with all the latest scenes from the European war and Wilful Ambrose, one of those Irresistible Keystone comedies, that many try to initiate but none come up to the Keystone standard for gen. uine fun provokers Matinee today, at 2.16, all seats 10 cents, children cents: evening at ' and S.45, 10, 15 and 20 cents. Three complete shows daily. Don't miss seeing Lora.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-03-22

and it is a spectacular scenic produc- ton in two big scenes as well as a classy show and the most up-to-date of them all. MT. Orth will appear here himself this week and will be assisted by Miss Lillian, a clever lit tie lady and a dancer of much merit, and a big beauty chorus exquisitely gowned in the latest costume designs. The up-to-dateness of this show will be a feature which cannot be over looked and four extraordinary dancers in the cast will introduce several diff ferent dancing numbers in each of the shows, special among which will be an exhibition on Wednesday and Thurs
 day of the famous tango dance. by two of New York's best modern dancers. Lew Orth's musical comedy has been sucured this week at great expense and seldom plays an engage ment where the admission price is as low as the one prevailing at this the atre. However, by special arrange ment there will be no raise in prices this weeF and 10 cents will be charged at the matinee and 10 and 20 cents in the evening. The Tourist and the Bandit will run a full hour, and be- sides this a two reel Universal fea- ture photoplay entitled Haunted Hearts with Cleo Madison in the leading role will be shown, as well as The Fox Trot Craze, a Sterling comedy. There will be the usual three shows daily.

COLONIAL THEATRE.
Andrew Mack Appearing in "The Rag
 ged EarI," His Great Success.

For clean. pure comedy drama, of the highest educational order, there is nothing to compare with The Rag ged Earl, as made by Lubin and pre- scented by the Popular Players com pany. It represents a type of drama that is as yet unequalled for screen production, and with Andrew Mack, who plays his old part of Gerald Fitz- gerald, Earl of Kildare, the ragged earl. MT. Mack achieves as great. if not a greater success before the eye of the camera than he did before the eyes of thousands of admiring thea tregoers. He is most ably supported by Ormi Hawley, and Eleanor Dunn as the stepdaughters and many other familiar names that have been seen with other big successes of the Colo nial theatre. Another thing deserving comment is the settings and locations, Fairmount Park, Wishahickon Drive and Lancaster Turnpike offering some of the most beautiful exteriors that can be found anywhere in the world. The story is closely adhered to at all times, and as 8 consequence the plot is easily followed, and very sane. Plenty of thrills adorn the various scenes and the whole production will be found to be on a par with the Lion and the Mouse, Third Degree and many other Colonial successes from the Lubin studios.

THE DAVIS.
mfrth Carmen DepIores Inflated Ideas
 of Personal Importance.

Miss Mirth Carmen, the brilliant prima donna of the Boston English Opera company, which comes to the Davis theatre, Tuesday evening" March G3Td knows what 1t is to fight the battle of life and that this brilliant artist, who has won her way to the top. has never found the need to ac- quire a swel1ed head is. indeed, a les son to many people in and out of the profession.
 To all aspirants to big things in any branch of the theatrical profes- sion, Miss Carmen says: Do not get an inflated idea of your own import arlce it is this unhappy condition in this precarious calling that pushes more people into oblivion than any other force she declares. From the moment the right foot rises to the first rung of the proverbial ladder there are thousands literally on your heels, ready and alert to take advan- tage of every misstep. They are not necessarily directing their energies against the more fortunate leader; on the contrary, they are just ambitious and desire to forge ahead themselves. They are a mighty force and from the lowest to the highest do their might to build or destroy. Think of the many-and I am sorry to say that they are in the ma,jority-that have dropped by the wayside only half suc- cessful, through utter disregard of the masses. When their combined energy could have been converted into a mighty engine to assist in the uphill fight. by a little consideration-a lit tie appreciation of the fact that they are human beings, whether they are 8 beginner in the chorus or a star tenor. Their boosting is always es- sentiaIwhen the top is attained g. step slide looms up on the other side, and it only takes a slight push to start down hill journey, where the momentum is ten thousand times greater than the climb. To accomplish dignity, or to make associates with every Tom. Dick and Harry-just make them feel when they cross your track that they too are real-make them feel that they are all your friends and sooner or later you will feel the benefit for they never forget

POETRY
WHERE HAVE THEY GONE.

Has battle smoke of wars Obscured it's beam in the crown of While doomed men in red darkness with 2 groping sense of wrong or And c1ench and die, by the lurid blight Of the bloody eye of Mars? Where are the reverend wise men gone Who followed the Bethlehem star? Did they flee in fright from it's gIeam- When dim at it's end the dark cross Have they lost their way in the bleak,
 black wood?
 Have they ridden to hounds and tasted
 Are the 9Wise Men" gone to war? Where's the Virgin Mother now?
 Who bided last at the cross? Behold she waits as she waited then, Her soul in travail of birth again, For every woman'S a mother of men, And each her son, when d man Is slain.
 Be she maid in her vestal floss. From "Brotherhood,'" by Ruth Me
