Other acts for the last half of the week will be Ruth Belmer, a wonderfully fine slack wire performer, and Beth Andrews, dainty singing comedienne. On the picture program for today the Hor- TOTS of War, taken on the French Bat tie front, will be the feature attrac- ton and the Pathe comedy, Tinker ing With Trouble, will be shown. The Paramount feature for Friday and Saturday of this week will be a five The Old Homestead, the greatest sin gle triumph of the American stage.

EXPERIENCE COMING TO DAVIS
For Two Nights, Monday and Tuesday,
 May IS and is.

Manager Al Craig of the Davis thea tre announces that arrangements have been made with William Elliott, F. Ray Comstock and Morris Gest for the engagement of the most wonderful play In America, George V. Hobart'S Experi- ence. The engagement will be for two nights. Monday and Tuesday. May 15 and 16
 The engagement will be of unusual importance as the famous New York Boston Experience organization comes to Norwich direct from nine months in New York and five months in Boston. Experience Is called by the critics the sensational success of this gen. eration. The play shows Youth going forth into the world with Experience by his side as his best teacher and this allegorical romance with it's scenes laid in New York is one of the strong est and most powerful of sermons and a play which, after all, is one of the liveliest and most entertaining "girl' shows imaginable. In selecting the various temptations which confront Youth MT. Hobart has decided to have them portrayed by beautiful women, attractive in their 1oveliness. Thus Intoxication becomes a most alllring maiden; Passion is a beautiful Oriental girl, and the role of Pleasure is filled by a gorgeously gowned and fascinat- ing young woman, and so on for the
 
 be met with in the world. The ten scenes of Experience indicate to a cer- tain extent the widely varying charac- ter of the play. It starts in a little country village where Youth bids fare- well to his sweetheart, Love. It shows his meeting Pleasure on the Street of Meditation, then Youth Is seen danc- Ing the tango on the Primrose Path with twenty beautiful types of alluring girlhood surrounding him. and then successively 1t shows Youths down. ward glide by the road of the gamblins hell where he loses all his money, then b. low dive where Youth works as a waiter but is kicked out by che owner who does not like Youths ways, and then Youth drifts to The House oi Lost Souls, a den of cocaine fends where he meets Crime. And under a sraving for more of the treacherouE drug starts out with Crime to kill c man and thus secure the cocaine. As hey pass along The Street of For rotten Days, Youth hears a hymn his mother used to sing coming from a

GEORGE ARLFss IN PAeANINi
At Davis Theatre Friday, May 5th.

AS in Disraeli, so now in Paganini, George AT1iss. who comes to the Davis theatre Friday evening, May 5th, di- rect from a brilliant Boston engage ment, depicts a figure from history. This time the literature of music, in stead of that of diplomacy, has been drawn upon for the character of the story. MT. Arliss' notable success in his last vehicle has given him the right to undertake the delineatton Of Paganini the wizard of the violin, and the author, Edward Knoblauch, is said tn Paganini to have duplicated his brilliant work in Kismet. My Lady s Dress, Marie Odile and Milestone. MT. Arliss it is said, depicts the softer side of Paganinfs character. Pagan1n1 name was once synonymous with hyp- notic power; he was believed by the superstitious to be in league with the Evil One: his appearance on the street was a signal for the gathering of a mob of the morbidly curious. There was, however, a phase of the great maestro's life during his stay in Eng land into which a great romance en- tered and it is this period in Paga- minis life that MT. Knoblauch has se- lected for his comedy. The Paganini os the play is an eccentric genius, but he shows himself to be possessed of a fine, generous nature. He exhibits hu- man faults and human virtues and the role is said to afford Mir. Arliss large opportunities for the exercise of his wonderful artistry. The main theme Of the piece is a love story. An in- genuous young English girl yields to a blind and soulful adoration for a mu- sica1 genius. She becomes infatuated with the great artist and throws aside her fiance, young English officer, to follow what she believes to be the true dictates of her heart. She follows Pagadipl to the continent. How Paga- Sini meets the situation and finally sets the young girl on the path of true happiness forms the climax of the story. The fire of the genius. his oddi- ties of manner and thought, the ec- centricities of his personal appearance are blended, 1t Is said, into finely wrought characterization by MT. Ar liss. Miss Margery Maude, young and talented daughter of Cyril Maude, has the role of the English girl, and others in the brilliant supporting company are Mrs. Arliss, Florence Auor, Leila Repton Rosina Henley, Dudley Dfgges, Dion Titheradge, Charles Harbury, Ed gar Kent, Fred Nichols and Noel Tear1e.
 Seats are now on sale at the box office.

A ROSE o, PLYMOUTH TOWN,

There is plenty of comedy in A Rose O Plymouth Town, with good situations to bring out the various characters. Blunt, outspolSen and resolute, who has left gay London in search of a new sensation, is a ready sympathizer with the unpuritanicaI escapadesl of the young folks gathered in the home of Miles and Barbara Standish. Recol- : lections of her own youth make it easy for her to enjoy the pranks of the vfvacious French maiden, Rosa de la Moves. and the hot-blooded lover, Gar rett Foster. The new sensation, both for Aunt Resolute and the audience, is produced in the closing scenes, when the difficulties of the situation are solved by a clever discovery of Rosa.
 This play is to be given in Slater hall by the Academy Dramatic club on Friday and Saturday, May 5 and 6. at 8 o'clock Tickets on sale at Davis book store.

Coming to Davis Theatre, The New
 Henrietta.

EISINIlSL%da
 Joseph Brooks has employed a. good many actors in his days of manage ment, now summing up a period of over forty years, and has always had the fellowship spirit of the old school which knit players and managers to- gether like bonds of blood He has produced more dramas written by Americans than any other native. and In the long list are some that have added to the dignity and honor of our stage beyond all precedent.
 It was MT. Brooks who inspired the dramatization of Ben Hur and direct ca the tr1umphal tours of the specta- Gle. He also brought together the fla nous company of dramatic stars that toured the larger cities in a revival of Richard Brinsley Sheridans com edy classic, The Rivals. In this his toric performance were Jefferson. Florence, Crane. Tabor, Goodwin, VII son, B. M. and Joseph Holland, Julia Mar1oWe, Mrs. John Drew and Fanny
 He now has underway another reyt- val, Bronson Towards delightful play The Henrietta, with William H Crane, Thomas W. Ross, MacIyn Ar buckle, Amelia Bingham and Edith Iallaferro-all stars-in the interpre- ting cast. He was the original pro ducer of this vigorous and fascinat- ing piece, and was the cause of it's being written for Robson and Crane
 It IS mistake for actors of na- t1onal fame to serve the movies. They are tempted for picture by the bait Of big money, and for few weeks salary of unnatural amount, their name, face and manner are the selling property of the wise film maker. Later when the actor is starred in an orfgi- nal play at legitimate theatre, he is confronted by crazy quilt of posters blazing the fact that he may be seen in his greatest success for ten cents at a neighborheod house. This amounts to saying that he is on the down grade as an actor and is sure to f1atten the result of his business on a two dollar basis.
 That situation is also sure to shave his salary where he made his success. and depreciation in the high priced theatre takes the bloom off of his peach as a seller in the moving pie ture field. Further, the men who lead ! Tn the moving picture world are not | apt to keep up the abnormal salaries they have been giving to certain ac- tors, once the edge is off the novelty of the distinguished name, and the I plays Of strong appeal because of suc- cess in the legitimate theatres are running low. Then the actor will be between two stones of repression, and his income is as sure to wither asa green tree in drought.
 The New Henrietta will be the at- traction at the Davis theatre, We'd nesday evening, May 10. Seats on l sale Saturday, May 6.
