ORPHEO THEATRE.

Ralph Herr, the popular stage star.
will make his debut in the silent dra-
ma here at the Orpheo theatre on
Thursday in "The Purple Lady," a
five-part Metro-Rolfe wonderfully.
Irene Howley, the beautiful and vi
vacious little actress who has been
seen in many elaborate Metro pic
lures, is featured with Mr.. Herr in
this production. "The Purple Lady,
is a perturbation of the play of the
same name written by Sydney Rosen-
field. Besides the humorous side OF
"The Purple Lady" there are many
thrills in this feature, for there is
strong and absorbing mystery and
a love story told in a new and novel
manner. The scenes are laid liz and
around New York, including scores
of interesting glimpses of Coney Is
land, on shipboard in the harbor,
and in the interior of one of the most
famous restaurants on Broadway.
George Lessey produced ''The Purple
Lady" Mr.. Herr, in the part OF

HAUBER THEATRE.


The motion picture exhibitor who
really is concerned in his own well
fare can hear not better music than
the laughter of his audience. While
every play cannot, by any means, be
exclusively comedy there is always
an effort made by the picture pro-
Queer to Introduce a laugh wher-
ever it is possible-and sometimes at
the expense of reasolableness.
Making a good play is the first
thing, but it cannot be good unless
it contains laughs" and lots OF
them. On this theory Bluebird Photo

William Morris Hughes, the Aus
tralian premier and now recognized
as one of the first men of the British
empire, was born under the severest
handicap of poverty and in early life
was in turn "roustabout,' a ships
cook, a sailor before the mast, and
worker at various mechanical
trades. Often he did not know where
the next meal was coming from, and
it was thru sleeping in the open,
when he spent fifteen months as a
sheep herder. that brought on ill
health from which he has never fully
recovered.

ANNA PAVLOWA WILL
Be Seen HERE TODAY
Great Russian Danseuse Appears in
"Dumb Girl of POrtici" at Best
Theatre for Two DAYS.

An unusual event in the history oil
the motion picture art will take place
at the Best theatre today and tomor-
VIII appear on the screen in mas
sive spectacle entitled "The Dumb
Girl of Portici."
'sWho is the greatest box office at
traction in the world?" That is the
query one may hear on every hand,
not only where stage folks congre-
gate, but in the clubs and in the
foyers of the theatres and opera
houses. The general impression is
that the great singers and grand
opera make the biggest box office at
fractions. but aside from Caruso or
Tettrazini there are few if any sing
ers of either sex who would fill the
Metropolitan opera house at S. per
seat or higher without the aid of
other famous names. Perhaps the
only celebrity who could pack the
opera house at S. per seat thru her
own personality is Anna Pavlowa,
who has drawn $4,000 in one night
at the Metropolitan Opera house so
frequently that the box office execu-
tives could always predict within a
fraction what the gross results will
be-
Pavlowa drew $4,000 in two per-
formances in Los Angeles, while dur
ing the week afterward the Metr,pol-
iian Grand Opera company, including
some of the grea est singers colnbin-
ed as the attraction, could not at
tract the same averages.
"The Dumb Girl of Portici" will be
shown at the Best theatre at II, 2, 4,
6, and 10 o'clock today and tomor-
row.
