1 0YDAISY DEAN ~

After a dashing courtship Of less
than a week, Crane Wilbur, now ap-
pearing as a star in Horsley produc-
lions in Los Angeles, was recently mar
ried to Miss Arlene Archibald, a
beautiful society girl popular in San
Francisco and Los Angeles social cir
Giles.
AS the love story goes, the actor met
the society maid in San Francisco some
time ago and they became fast friends.
They drifted apart, however. until by
chance they met at a Los Angeles hotel,
a few days before the wedding. Dan
Cupid became busy and the sparks of
love few around the mezzanine floor
and into the Indian mission grille,
where the happy pair had wandered in
foTgetfulness of most everything. Diff
ficulties which had formerly confront
ed the star were surmounted-the
question was asked-a quick trip was
made to the court house where IL
cense was secured and soon they were
welded. kilograms were sent to the
brides mother in San Francisco and
parental blessings followed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur are now at home
in a coy love nest in a fashionable
neighborhood of Los Angeles, where
they are receiving friends and con-
gratulatiOns.

AT THE EMPIRE.

If the first Pantages bill presented
at the Empire is to be accepted as a
criterion of what is to follow the re-
mainder of the season at that house,
lovers of vaudeville hereabout have
much to be thankful for. Manager
Charles Berkell put his new booking
arrangement into effect yesterday. AS
a starter, he is able to offer Miss Edna
Aug as neadliner. 1t is Miss Aug's
first appearance in Rock Island, ana
she is not new to the variety stage
either. She has for years been one of
the bright lights on the larger circuits.
The majority Of local theatre patrons
have never seen her, but it is hardly
likely they will pass the opportunity
to enjoy her during her four-day stay
at the Empire. Miss Aug suggests Cis-
sic Lotus and Emma Carus. She's not
as boisterous as Sophie Tucker. Her
songs and dialogue are clean through
out. She is a comedienne who DEM
onstrates that not all of the people who
occupy seats in a vaudeville theatre
refuse to think. Her present act
consists of two character sketches. In
the first she represents two dance
hall wall flowers who, ignored by the
men folk, decide to dance by them
selves. During their dancing move
ments they carry on conversation
that is positively killing. Miss Aug's
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-01-10

second role is that of scrubwoman.
She appears dressed in harmony with
her characterization. She gets down
on her knees with her bucket and tells
her troubles to the leader of the or
chestra. ooh, yes" she says, I'm mar
ried. l have been married ever since
l have been working. have been mar
ried four times already" Miss Aug is
every inch an artist, one who eXer-
cises her intellect in reaching an aud
fence.
Then there is Harry Gilbert, young
comedian who knows how to sing a
funny song. For instance, he gives an
Italian number without using red
handkerchief, an innovation of itself.
Last nights audience liked Gilbert
immensely. The spectacular novelty Of
the bill is The Moon Girl and Mer-
maid" a very pretty act, in the climax
of which two girls, one at a time,
swing above the audience sitting in an
illuminated crescent, singing the
while. One of the girls rides low
enough to pin flowers on several of
the young men in the front rows and
|, in the boxes.
Jack and Jessie Gibson are talking
unicyclists. Gibson is a good comedian
and both join in giving wholly sat
isfying act, entirely different from
what you expect. Rollo and Rollo, who
open the show have an athletic novelty
out of the ordinary and one you will
care for. Good pictures open and close
the bill.

tel. The musical numbers are put over
in delightful fashion, the song hits
being New Years Eve THE Day
That You Were Born" Il Brought My
Yankee Heart Back Home" Model
Little Girl" 1T Was 3 O'Clock When
He Met Her." Toxic" and THE Rose
of Eden" The comedy is largely fur
nished by Frank Ellis, Howard Lang
ford and Cecil Summers. The chorus is
composed of good looking girls who
not only know how to sing but also to
dance in an attractive manner. Man
ager Blanchard played the same show
last season under the name of La
Petite Revue" but it is bigger and bet
ter than ever this year. Special inter-
est is being taken in the announce
ment that George Primrose and his
MINISTRIES will be the feature act at
the Columbia for the last half of fhe
week. This will be one of the best Of
ferings of the season.

AT THE MAJESTIC.

Joe Weber and Lew Fields break into
society in ludicrous fashion in the Tri-
angle-Keystone comedy, THE Best Of
Enemies" which will appear at the
Majestic theatre next Monday and
| Tuesday.
There is a visit to a fashionable
home by the two German comedians,
where Joseph Swickard and Billie
Bennett are seen presiding. Mae
Busch appears as the pretty daughter.
They make some comical blunders by
getting into the wrong room, from
which they are pursued by angry fe-
male guests. Joe Weber falls into a
bathtub and is saved from being
drowned by shower through his
| friend, Lew Fields, who holds a para
sol over his head while he assists him
to get out.
After they fall out over precedence
Lew Fields leads the way, followed by
Joe Weber mimicking his partners at
tempts at dignity. They are soon
quarreling over Mae Busch, and Weber
seems to get the worst Of it.
Finally in revenge Weber leaves a
note saying that if he is found missing
he has been killed by the bully Fields.
This leads to the trial and conviction
of Fields for murder. This is watched
with great glee by Joe, who is dis
guised.
Mae Busch visits the condemned man
and hands him a file. He makes his
escape from the cell. The girl is kid
mapped by Weber. While Weber is on
the way to see the execution of Lew
he is seized by the police, who are 60
ing to execute him in the place Of his
escaped partner.
This is done so that they may not
have to disappoint the governor and
his friends. But Fields in his attempts

BOIL WEEV|L OUTW|I.
TED.

Mr.. G. T. Brewer, of Horne,
is about the only man we know
of in this county who has outwit
ted the boil weevil this year, he
having gathered from a six acre
field already enough seed cotton
to make three heavy bales.
Mr.. Brewer attributes hissuccess
to his having planted early, his
planting dates having been the
last of March and the first of
April, and next year, he says
the 18th of March will be his
planting time if the moon is
right. The kind of cotton that
Mr.. Brewer plants is the small
seed. "Early Matchless" the
seed of which, are worth Sl.OO
per bushel, and this sum added
to the price he will get for the
eotton will make UP a neat sum
that he has realized from his SIX
acres. Hurrab for Mr.. Brewer,
for his example sets way for
beating the boil weevil. Clarke
