THEATRICAL NOTES.
By Karl Monte
The Grand.

The Grand.
Billy King and company continue to
draw well regardless of the extreme
heat. They have broken the record so
far, and the end is not yet in sight.
Next week they will be seen in "Derby
Dan."
The management has instituted
new feature. Every Friday evening,
in addition to the regular program,
" Walking the Dog" contest is pre-
sented. Next week, first half, Argo
(Harpist), also BERTHE and Fowler, in
addition to the regular picture pro-
gram.
The States.
Many people go to the States to
avoid the heat and to hear the music
by what is considered one of the best
orchestra on the stroll. Their pictures
are all good, every night feature, and
Bailey, the accomplished young musi-
clan with his orchestra, alone worth
the price of admission.
Their program follows: Monday,
Charlie Chaplin in "The VagabOnd;"
Tuesday, "The Iron Claw" and the
"Cave of Despair" Wednesday, "The
Deserter;" Thursday, "The Eye OF
God" the story of a woman's ven
geance; Friday, mysteries of Myra;"
Saturday, Dorothy Gish in "The Lit
tie School Mann"
The Phoenix. "
This house, last Monday and Tues
day, introduced to the South Side, the
renowned Bert Williams first and
famous effort: GA Natural Born Gam
bier" This was, indeed, very COM
zeal picture. They were waiting at
the doors. AS fast as the house emp
tied, it was filed again. Other houses,
undoubtedly will, also show this film,
but the Phoenix gained the initiative.
In order that others who could not see
Bert in his funny role the last time,
may be able to see him before the pic
lures leave the city, this house will
repeat this show on next Tuesday from
200 to 1900 P. NJ. Moreover, theirs
was the only house in Chicago where
this picture could be seen on that date
and the succeeding one.
During the week they also showed
the famous eighth" in camp at
Springfield, Ill. Today they present
Jackie Saunders in "Broken Fetters''
or the "Secret of the Underworld" a
Knickerbocker Star Feature; tomorrow
Virginia Pearson in "Blazing Love"
play in which the whole life story of
wife with her problems is told with
striking moral; Monday "The Sc
crets of a Submarine" Wednesday,
Mysteries of Myra;" and on Aug.
5, "Sudden Riches" may be seen
there. Aug. 6, "The Eternal Sapho. -
The Pickford.
The Piekford is house where you
can always see one or more excellent
pictures. The management never fails
to have them on hand, apparently GO
ing on the assumption that nothing is
too good for their patrons. Pictures
have been shown there for ten cents
that cost twenty-five and fifty cents
in the downtown houses. They make
a speciality of Triangle plays. Last
Monday they had Charlie Chaplin in
"The Vagabond;" on Wednesday they
beat the other houses to the famous
"Will Orpet" pictures the only au-
thorized and authentic pictures of the
celebrated trial and prisoner; on
Thursday the Triangle "The Eye of
the Night" with William H. Thomp-
son and Marjory Wilson; yesterday,
William Farnum in "The Bondman; "
tomorrow, the Kniekerbocker Star Fea-
ture "Spellbound with Lois Mere
dith, and Sunday, The Triangle Greg
gle Mixex In," with Douglass Fair
banks.
