ODE TO A BED IS
FEATURE OF SHOW
''Niemand Zu Hause," a Good
Show With a Live, Never
Stop-For-Breath Chorus

Not only was Nobody Home" at
the Orpheum last evening to the con-
yulsion of a goodly audience, but
there was no apparent indication that
anybody had ever dwelt there, so far
as the nut-like quality of humor was
concerned. The performance was full
of merit, with the two leading charac-
ters supported by an excellent COM
pany who were anxious to please. and
the tired business man." or I. b. M,
as Life insists upon having 1t. left
the ytheater refreshed and satisfied.
Getting off to a rather disinterest-
ing start, the ensembles gradually
developed more spirit and the prin-
cipals, on their appearance, jumped
the stock up hundred per cent. until
at the end OF the second act the
audience almost plead for more with
hearty enthusiastic applause such as
has been heard in the Orpheum very
tnfrequently in past months.
Freddie" Popple, of Ippleton,
England, is one OF the most naturally
funny and entertaining Englishmen
on the stage to-day, If the effect that
he had upon last nights crowd is any
criterion. His real name is Percival
knight, and he is real EnGlishman,
and he is a real humorist, and by rea-
son OF his presence in the company
its value is enhanced, oh, almost in
finitely. He has the voice, he has the
dress. he has the personal appearance
and he has the semi -blase, semi-ques-
tioning attitude which helps to render
his knock-knee method of perambula-
ton a source of some of the dryest
humor that ever entertained both
audience and company on the stage
at the same time and with mutual
satisfaction. There was a faint mix
ture of Al Jolsin- Frank Tinneyism
in his makeup which gave a delight

Children's Tastes to Be
Considered in the Movies

In trying to meet n criticism of the
moving picture business that was
voiced at a recent meeting of the
Committee on Education, OF the House
of Representatives, in Washington,
which was in effect that the movie
does not cater enough to the tastes
of the children, Manager niagara, of
the Regent Theater, is making efforts
to present programs that will appeal
especially TO the youngsters. These
programs are presented at the Satur-
day morning matinees that are held
weekly from 10 a. m. to IL noon, or
Immediately in advance of the regu-
larly advertised Saturday programs
which are designed for grown-ups
and children alike. ,.....
The criticism referred to was Of
fered when the Congressional COM
mittee was considering the Hughes
bill which would establish a national
censorship of the movies along the
lines of the State censorship now in
force in Pennsylvania. Mr.. Magaro.
who is a vice-president of the Ex-
hibitors' League of Pennsylvania, was
present at the hearing along with
other exhibitors who oppose censor
ship.
while I am opposed TO the general
principle of censorship as un-Amer
ican," said Mr.. Magaro to-day in dis
cussing the committee hearing, IT
recognize that some of the things said
regarding shortcomings of the movie
business were just and fair. One
prominent speaker declared that the
movie programs for the most part to-
day are designed chiefly for the enter
tainment of adults and not enough at
tention is paid to amusing or in
structing the young. That led me to
put into operation my present plan
of holding Saturday morning matinees
each week. especially for the school
children. The Regent has held two
such matinees already and another
will be given next Saturday and every
Saturday thereafter so long as they
continue popular"
1t is planned to throw on the screen
many interesting and instructive pic
lures relating to the war in Europe
which will undoubtedly be a great aid
TO the children in getting an adequate
idea of European history that is be-
ing made to-day.
