Samoan Music
AT the Lyric.

A touch of the Far East is given
the bill at the Lyric Theater. in Mar
ket street, for the first three days of
the week in the appearance of the
Samoan Troupe, a company of nine
people garbed in native costume and
singing the songs and dancing the
dances dear to the hearts of their
countrymen.
The act also introduces some of the
musical instruments of Samoa, which
are mostly of the stringed kind. The
entire act was well received and won
great applause last night
Honors for applause, however, go
to the Tower Trio, novelty tumblers.
This trio presents the various aero
batic features in a manner that
makes the act run very smoothly.
Each of the three is an exceptionally
good tumbler, making the perform
ance itself far above the ordinary.
Music, and more music; some mega
tive and some operate, is offered by
the Six Musical Stillars, clever ag-
gregation of negro artists. Their rag
time pieces set the feet of the audi
ence moving, and it appeared as il
those in front of the curtain could not
get enough of the music, for when
the curtain came down on the tinal
selection the audience fairly ''howled
for encores.
Fun on the tight wire is given by
Charles Ledegar, "the Flying Dutch
man." He kept the audience laughing
during almost his entire time on the
stage, or, rather, rope. His slips ano
slides were not offered in the usua
Liam going fan" manner. but in .
fashion that almost made the audi
tence think they were real.

salvation Nell"
At the Paramount,

1t is difficult to imagine Salvation
Nell'' in pictures. 1t is still harder to
think of any person other than Min
ME Maddern Fisk in the title role of
the play. Nevertheless, those who
visited the Paramount Theatre yes
terday beheld the play upon the
screen and saw the plot unfold with
out losing much of the tense interest
and wholesome teaching which fol
lowed the Mrs. Fiske production on
the speaking stage.
There was the same squalid en-
Ivironment-only more true to life
Drink and misconduct stalked before
the eye as on the speaking stage and
there was even a larger procession of
evil men and women of all degrees of
| badness. What is more, as far as
the pictures are concerned, Beatrice
lMichelena dominated the play by q
personality that apparently suffers
little by comparison with Mrs. I'iske.
! The exposition OF the work of the
Salvation Army on the screen is even
more complete than in the spoken
play-and this. of itself is enough to
commend the production.

a Night of Laughter
AT Loew's.

1t was a night of laughter 1t Loew' s
Springfield avenue theater last night,
and the merry melange will continue
until the change of bill Thursday
night.
With good numbers in profusion, it
is no detraction to their merits to say
that, were they dispensed with and
the stage given up to the Wilson
Brothers for full performance, any
audience would depart satisfied that
it had received its moneys worth.
These two ponderous German come
dians, each with a girth of vast pro-
portions, might well take the title of
THE Human Whirlwinds." Imitators
par excellence, endowed with natural
wit that reveals itself in a thousand
ways not originating from an authors
pen, with voices that seem to touch
both extremes of the gamut, the Will
sons start things going from the mo-
ment they make an appearance. Not
the least of the virtues of these enter
tainers is that, while at first sight
they awaken expectations of the usual
cut and dried dialect German patter,
they indulge in none of it, They sim
ply make things happen, and when
the house isn't shouting it is applaud
ing. The recalls for this team must
have been gratifying to the pair.

all the earnestness of a serious
nature. Unless actually ordered to

the fans howled when they saw

from the spikes upward, lashing out

most celebrated athletic humorists in

perhaps? Not any. The serious mind
of Truck Boyle was wrapped and

was set upon home runs for revenue
only.

"The Yankee Girl"

Blanche Ring. in The Yankee Girl,
at the Strand Theater yesterday and
today, gives a delightful interpreta-
tion of the resourcefulness and game
ness of an American girl, in the midst
oil the intrigues and treachery of the
typical South American republic.
Against background of mining spe-
culations and double-dealing, a love
story of more than usual interest is
portrayed, while the ultimate result
of it all gives the star an opportunity
to display her versatility in hitherto
untried phase of photo-dramatic
talent.
The atmosphere of the story is ex-
cellently simulated. In addition to a
palatial steam yacht, the settings OF
the picture are sumptuous. One of
the principal features which shows
the abandon of the South American
dances is so realistically attained thai
the audience unconsciously marks the
rythm with fingers and toes as the
dancers pirouette or madly prance
through the mazes of the dances. The
play is one of those which lends it.

THE CAST.

The gallantries and escapades of a
dashing young Irish officer and the
Vaccinations of brother officer,
who. because he was cast for the viii
lain, had to be English: the bellicose
Irish nobleman, always spelling for a
fight, and his typically British foil
personified in the character of the
bluff Colonel Sir George Eastwood :
the coolly satirical English beauty
and the irresponsible Irish ingenue:
the clash of swords and wits. and in
terspersed through it all the good old
ballads and the more modern love
songs through which the fascinating
Captain O'Malley showed the audi
ence how IAN Irishman's heart makes
vocal his love" brought back to
memory at the Newark Theater last
night the days of our youth when we
pored over the pages of Charles
Levers romanees of old Erin, and
ensconced even more securely in our
admiration the charm and talents of
Andrew Mack's delightful Irish char
acterizations.
In the dramatization of Levers old
favorlte the thrills. the intrigues and
the duelllng have all been retained,
but have been subordinated to the
goon, whose nimble wit and in
souciance dominate the atmosphere of
the play. Only in the duelling scene
in the fourth act are the situations
allowed to develop into a semblance
of tenseness For the rest the plot is
light, sparkling and cleverly handled
throughout. se see
Andrew Mack has an ideal vehicle
for his peculiar talents in the roman
tic scctnedy, and maintains to the full
his reputation for sympathetic inter-
pretations of such roles. Colonel Sir
George Eastwood, played by Eric
Campbell, offers an excellent foil to
the fiery, boastful Count Considine,
played by John Hickey. General Sir
Terence Blake is well rendered by
Gavin Harris.
Little is required of the women of
the cast, beyond the ability to look
bewtching and exchange enough rep
artee to exhibit the flashing wit of
Captain O'Malley but the roles were
we'll enacted by Miss Mabel Mortimer.
as Mrs. Blake, the wife of the general;
Miss Gilda Leary. as Lucy DashWood,
the cofonels daughter, and Miss jose
phine Stevens, as Dora Powers, the
ingenue.
Judy McCann," the eccentric irish
aunt, impersonated by O'Malley in
order to fulfill wager, is uproar-
iously funny, and gives the popular
comedian an opportunity to encroach
upon the farcical without interfering
with the chief motive of the play.
