AT The THEkTERS
At the Novelty.

Four varied and entertaining acts
of vaudeville. augmented by d five
part comedy, make up the proSra m at
the Novelty today. The Original Act
Beautiful, posing act. is more than
usually interesting. the poses being es-
pecially pretty The white Arabian
horse and the English settlers are well
trained Tom Davies and company
offer a domestic farce. "Checkmat-
ed" that is really funny. Helene
Hamilton and Jack Barnes in Just
Fun" sing and talk in 9 way that is
different from the majority of acts
seen in vaudeville. Walton and Wv
ian have "A slIit concerning d leading
woman who wants leading man.
The Nitagraph Blue Ribbon comedy,
what Happened to Father" with
Frank Daniels, the famous comic OPP
era star. as the leading funmaker,
opens the show.
At the Grand.
When man. in the early days of the
world endeaVored to express emotion
by action, he began a rude dance. Since
then the dance has gone through
countless changes until it has come
down to us in its modern form of the
BAH room dance. There have been
through all history three forms of
dance, the social dance, the warlike
dance and the religious dance. Each
form is still represented, but in civil
lied countries both the warlike dance
and the religious dance have disap-
peared, except in rare instances.
One of the features of the AL C. Field
Greater minstrels which will be seen
at the Grand tomorrow night, is a
pretentious ball room scene in which
every detail of the modern setting for
the society dansant is present Here
is given a most laughable burIesque
on the present day craze for dancing.
The one step. the tango, the hesitation
and all of the other imported South
American, French and semibarbarous
dances which have been adapted to
the ball rooms of America, are made
uproarious amusing by the funny
men of Mr.. Fields company.
At the Hip.
The Mack-Moody company will play
Clouds and Sunshine for the last
two performances this afternoon and
tonight The plot tells of a school
marin" who is slandered by the vii
lage gossips and befriended by the
minister. Ralph Moody and Adah Mil
Ter are seen in the leading roles. f.
b. Harrington and Vivian Naftzger
furnish the comedy. Dora Thorne''
will be the offering starting tomorrow
night, with a matinee Friday and Sat
urday. DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde
viii be given Saturday night for one
performance.
At the Orpheum.
Today and tonight is the last ap-
pearance of DeWoIf Hopper in Don
Quixote." likewise Fay Tincher bids
goodbye to her home town for a sea-
son. In their place comes Bessis Bar
riscale in THE Last Act and Ford
Sterling in His Pride and Shame"
The Last Act" the drama for
Thursday Friday and Saturday, is a
play from stage life and Bessie Bar
riscale as the actress, wins fame anC
the attentions of lawyer whose home
life is unhappy.
There is plenty of drama IN the fin
ished product
The vaudeville for the week will be
a good musical act
