plays even seen in this city for the money. The headline attraction is the huge spectacular musical comedy of fering entitled A Dream of The Orient, featuring Madame Makarenke and her beautiful Oriental girls. There are ten people in the act and it is the most pretentious feature that has ever played this theatre. They carry two special stage settings and numerous Oriental rugs and draperies. the gor- geousness of which has never been eQualled in any vaudeville attraction that has appeared at this theatre. Every member of the company is an accomplished singer and for dancing, this act Is in @ class by itself. They carry their own musical director. who leads the orchestra and sings solo in a rich baritone voice. The costum- ing of the act has not been neglected and the girls make several changes throughout the performance, although this act is the most expensive pro- duction ever seen here and is whole show in itself the management have not strinted on the bill. There will be two other acts besides this one. nane- ly, Burns and Lyman, two expert dane. CTS and comedians, and Bob Penney, a black face musical comedian. who pro- vides music and mirth that anyone will enjoy. In the photo plays the Triangle feature is called Honor Thy Name, with Frank Keenan, Charles Ray and Louis Glaum as the stars. This is a five part Ince production and great big message is carried to the world with the thesis of this pro- duction. An old fashioned father of the sturdy patriotic stock of the South shows his erring son that good name is even more to be guarded than life itself The son falls in with a rath- CT fast set in New York and allows woman of the usual type to enslave him, The complications that ensue while the father tries to separate the boy from this calculating woman forms one of the sensational elements of the story.
 There is the usual funny two reel Keystone comedy on the bill and De Wolf Hopper is the star Matinee at 2.15 daily, all seats 10 cents. Evening at 645 and S.45, 10. Is and 20 cents, Yacerua6
