COLONIAL THEATRE.
Monsieur Leeoq, Five Reels, Presenting
Florence La Babe and Big Cast.

Monsieur Lecoq, Gaboriau's master
detective of fiction, is the hero of a
five act Mutual Masterpiece at the
Colonial theatre today, which is pre-
scented by the mammoth Thanhouser
cast, headed by Florence La Babe and
William Morris. Lecoq, detective ex-
traordinary, whose methods of deduc-
ton have made for him a worldwide
fame. and by many is considered a
superior of Sherlock Holmes, is the
pervading character of this stupendous
masterpiece of today. Every one of
the acts abounds in interest. The
many and strange adventures that
befall this clever criminologist holds
the spectators spellbound throughout.
William Morris in the role Of LecoQ
presents an especially meritorious per-
Torrance in the exacting part, while
Miss La Babe as the Duchesse de
Sairmuse is also at her best. Long
| recognized as one of screenland's most
versatile young players, Miss La Badie
in this a1l-important role delivers what
many critics have declared to be one
| of the cleverest interpretations ever
presented on screen. Probably nc
more interesting and realistic scene
has ever been filmed than that repre-
senting the Pepperbox Inn, a notorious
Partisan dive conducted by Mother
Chupin, in which the duke, disguised
| as laboring man, shoots and kills
two underworld characters who had
| threatened to expose the early life his
tory of his charming wife. Detective
work is the chief charm Of this picture
and the photography and acting are
| beyond criticism.
| Tomorrow is the Gold Rooster fea-
| ture in five acts entitled The Spenders
| or The Fortunes of Peter, with Pau
Panzer and big Pathe cast. The bis

beauty. Other scenes, there are IL in

ton at Madison Square Garden, the

the localized Ballroom, Behind the
Scenes at the Metropolitan Theatre and
the Grecian Gardens.
Fun is the main idea throughout the
revue and each scene is interspersed
with catchy musical numbers and song
successes of an infinite variety. The

DAVIS THEATRE.
New Vaudeville Today-Triangie Fea-
ture Pictures.

There will be a complete change of
vaudeville at this theatre today and
the programme announced for the last
three days of this week is one of the
best all round bills ever seen in this
city The feature attraction is The
Toylanders, miniature revue with
1--WE clever kiddies providing the en-
tertainment. There are four little girls
and one boy in the act and they do a
little musical comedy offering that has
all the tabloid shows looking like anna
teurs. The five kiddies are singers and
dancers of the highest standard and
they keep up the fun with lot of
original comedy that pleases both
young and old. This is an act that
you want to bring the children to see,
as they will enjoy it as much as the
grown-ups. The other two acts are
Kubanoff, the celebrated Russian court
violinist, who is conceded to be one of
the greatest masters of the violin in
this country today, and Grace Trebor,
a clever little singing and talking
Coincidence, who sings and tells stories
in addition to wearing some very pref
ty dresses. The three acts cannot be
equalled anywhere for the money, and
when they are added to the big pro-
gramme of Triangle photoplays there
Is nothing in the state to compare with
the show at popular prices.
The photoplay feature today is The
Brink, five part drama, featuring
Forrest Winant and Rhea Mitchell.
This is a picture showing how the
love of pure young girl saves a man
from the dire effects of a sudden i'm
pulse to do wrong, and also shows
how the powerful head of an organ
lied system of robbery meets defeat at
the hands Of his catspaws. This is one
of the finest of the big features shown
here and on one should miss seeing it.
Other pictures on this bill are In Old
Ode De Trance, beautiful colored
Pathe scenic picture, and Native Ven
ders in Calcutta, India. an industrial
comedies will also be shown.
