DAVIS THEATRE.
Big Bill of Keith Vaudeville and Tri-
angle Photo Plays Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday.

For the first half of this week the
management of the Davis has secured
an exceptional strong programme of
Keith vaudeville and Triangle pic
lures which will surely meet with the
approval of the patrons of this pOpu-
lar playhouse. The feature attrac-
ton is the Sig. Franz Troupe. present
ing The World On Wheels. This is an
exceptional attraction and comes here
direct from the big Keith theatres.
There are five people in the act and
they are all artists of the highest
standard. Another good act on this
bill is Wood and Halpin, who present
a comedy singing, talking and dancing
speciality. The third act is Raymond
Wilbert, Hoopologist This fellow can
do almost anything with hoops and
they go anywhere he wishes.
In the photo plays the Triangle fea-
ture for the first half of the week is
HOnor's Altar, a five reel Ince fea-
ture.
The lights and snares Of society life
ire artistically presented in HOnor's
Altar. Walter Edwards, Bessie Bar
riscale and Lewis Stone are the trio
of stars that scintillate in this play
of today.
There is a modern captain of indus
try who has risen in the business and
social world. His wife has Loyalty
aided him in the long struggle but he
foreets her faithful service when he
has reached the pinnacle of success.
The butterflies of society gain his at
tentiOn. SO he plans to get rid of his
less effuIgent wife.
Walter Edwards. who has toured
the country as a star in many notable
stage productions, has the role of the
inscriptions magnate, and Miss
BarrisCale as the wife. Besides her
successes on the speaking stage, Hiss
Rar~iscale has been seen in many
striking plays of Triangle production,
such rs The Golden Claw, and The
Green Swamp. Lewis Stone who has
the role Of a man without honor, is a

At THE AUDITORIUM,
Big Musical Comedy and MADAME
Butterfly" With Mary Pickford To-
day.

II Is an Interesting coincidence that
Mary Pickford, the idol of the motion
picture world, should make her first
appearance in the role of an Oriental
maiden in this great play which was
the first work of an American aurhor
TO have the distinction of being adapt
ed TO grand opera. That the choice
of the star as the silent Interpreter
of the famous role of Cho- Cho- San
was the wisest selection that could
be made will be the verdict of every
one who sees this appealing and
heart-gripping production. It re-
CURED the art, the grace, the picuuar-
cy and the daintiness of Mary Pick
ford to win the sympathy of the pub
lie in this role and only an actress OF
Miss Pic}1ford's remarkable personal
magnetism could have successfully
faced the ordeal of presenting in pam
tomine a character with which the
public had already become familiar
through the media of the opera, play
and novel, and which therefore al
ready possessed the highest standard
of comparisons. With these precon-
ceived notions of this beloved little
character to meet and surpass in
sympathy and artistry, Miss Pickford
was confronted by one of the most
difficult tasks that a motion picture
favorite has ever been called upon to
meet. 1t is the greatest triumph of
have risen to the most exalted heights
Of histdionism, as she has unques-
tionably done.
AS the forsaken Cho- Cho-San, pa
tiently and confidently waiting
through the long months for the re-
turn of her American husband, only to
have him return with an American
wife, Mary Pickford touches depths OF
emotion in her expressions of sorrow
pain and grief that have never been re-
CURED of her in the portrayal of the
many occidental characters whose
daintiness and charm have made her
the supreme favorite of the photo play
screen.
Several scenes in this picture were
taken in New London and at Ocean
beach Miss Pickford making the
trip to New London herself to appear
in thesn. On the picture programme

damaged Goods" to Be Presented on
Thursday Evening, March %.

On Thursday evening, March %, at
the Loomer Opera house, in Will
mantle, Eugene Brieux's interesting
sociological drama, Damaged Goods,
will be presented by Richard Benefits
workers. Damaged Goods, from
the viewpoint of men and women high
in national and civic life, is one of the
foremost stage contributions in a de-
cade. 1t presents a subject long held
sacred only to the medical fraternity
or within the co2fines OF ones in
most thoughts, yet has been given
life and impetus by BrieuX and his
collaborators who displayed neither
fear nor prejudice in its rendition. 1t
is a powerful sermon which is inter-
estirgly absorbed by its auditors and
one which has done more for the up
life of humanity than is accorded to
hundreds of stage presentations in a
score of years.
