For Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day of this week an unprecedented vaudeville and photoplay program has been selected by the management of this theatre. The headline attraction is the Baseball Four, comprised of Hugh Bradley, formerly of the Bos- ly of the Brooklyn Nations, George Robinson, San Antonio. Texas league, and Joe Gleason. Shreveport, of the same league. They present a bright singing and comedy offering entitled Twenty Minutes in the Club House, with special scenery depicting the in terior of a baseball clubhouse. This is a big Keith offering and is sure to be a Init with the local fans. Another big speciality is presented by Roy Cumming and Hazel Skelly called One Afternoon, a rapid fire comedy skit with special scenery and effects. The third act is Wilson and Larsen, the talkative acrobats who have some new stunts to offer in the athletic line The Triangle feature is the favorite west ern actor, William S. Hart, in Truth full Tulliver, dve-part Irrce produc- ton.
 Truthful Tu1lfver is the absorbing tale of 9. fighting newspaper man who drove wfckedfless out of Glory Hole and in accomplishing it became in strumental in the working out of two romances. Its action is laid in a small Arizona mining hamlet in the early sixties. and revolves about the IlI4e1y d0NenI OI d JOuEnSylnan GQ1- tor with big heart, clean soul and two guns.
 Hart is seen in the title role, and his portrayal is declared to be equal, if not superior to anything he has yet attempted. From the moment of his introduction he is the same rug ged, fearless he-Inan that he has been in all his successes.
 To complete the show there will be a Pathe comedy called Lulxe's Noisy Knock Out, film with nothing but laughs. Mary Pickford will be seen here the last half of this week in her latest picture, The Pride of the Clan.

 Rev. Richard R.. Graham and the girls choir of Christ church were at the Sheltering Arms Sunday afternoon. The service of evening prayer was read and an address given having for its text, Hope and quietly wait for the sal vation of God. Our Lord is the Saviour because He suffered. Rev, MT. Graham said. He can help us-because He was tempted in all points like as we are We meet one who has really suffered yet who is hoping and quietly waiting for God. We know that what He says is drawn from the depths of experience and it comes with force and power Jeremiah was one who spoke out of the abundance of experience Is there any sorrow like unto my sorrow? he asked. It is hard to hope and wait for the salvation of God when things seem to be going against us. We must have faith first of all that God will fulfill His promises. This faith must be connected with the confidence that we have done our part. Hopeful waiting brings comfort, peace and sun light into lives. God is underneath us with everlasting arms until He comes, at length.
 Miss Phoebe Brewster was at the pi- ano and in charge of the singing The sweet, clear voices of the girls choir made plain the words of the hymns for the day, which included The King of Love My Shepherd Is, Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation. and the Magnificat

 E. H Southern, the worlds most fa- nous actor makes his debut in motion pictures in the Vitagraph Blue Rib- bon feature, The Chattel. which is the feature attraction at the Breed thea Ire today and Tuesday. MT. Southern was born at New or leans and is the son of the late E. A Southern of Lord Dundreary fame. He was educated in England and fol- lowing his fathers footsteps he ap- peared first in Boston in a playlet call- ed Brother Sam," which the elder Southern was producing. He then played with the late John E. McCul- tough for a season. later going to Lon- don and appearing in productions there.
 Returning to. the United States he toured the country in a repertoire of plays. following which he was seen re- rious plays as leading man, mostly in romantic dramas.
 In 1908 he became co-star with Julia Marlowe under the direction of Charles Frohman. which was practical 4ly the beginning of his career as a Shakespearean star. Beginning about 1906 he was under the direction of the Schuberts. His industrious career also many revivals of his earlier suc- cesses.
 Desiring a most attractive leading lady for Mir Southern, J. Stuart Black ton or the NltaSraph company was Ior- tunate enough to secure Peggy Hyland, wkho finds in the role of Leila Bard, which is the part she plays in The Chattel one decidedly to her liking. Miss HyIand is known as the English beauty and after coming to this coun- try appeared in The Yellok Jacket, and later went into motion pictures where she scored heavily.
 The Chatte1 promises to be one of the strongest. screen offerings ever pre- scented in this city.
 The Breed will also present the fifth chapter of The Great Secret, starring Francis Bushman and Beverly Bayne.

Mime. Povla Fri.ch to be Heard Again

The announcement that the engage ment of Mime. Povla- FriSch. the young Danish soprano and Roderick White, the young American violinlst, is an assured fact. will be received with a great deal of satisfaction in local musical circles. Although the list of Subscribers is not as large as it has been on some previous occasions, yet from the interest displayed by those who have already subscribed, the man. agement felt justified in closing the option that it held. believing that if it were definitely known that these two great artists were to visit Nor wich many more would sign the sub Scrfption list.
 After all, it is the subscribers that make it possible for those responsible for the Slater hall music courses to continue these concerts from year to year. If it were regarded purely in the music-patronizing public would never have had an opportunity to hear many of the great musical organiza- tions of the country. or any of the big to time in this course These annual concerts are a civic asset beyond ap- praisal, due credit for which should be given. first to the promoters and generously upheld the efforts of the management of the Slater hall course.

 Mime. Povla Frisch. the young Danish soprano, will be pleasantly remem bered by all who had the pleasure of hearing her on the occasion of her ap- pearance in Slater hall two years ago. Among the many new artists who have been recently introduced to the American concert stage, none has re- ceived more instant recognition than this lieder singer, whose art has been pronounced unique and whose recitaIs in New York, Boston and Chicago have been events which have stood out in a. crowded concert calendar. She will be assisted by NJ. Jean Verd. pianist.
 This will be the first appearance in Norwich of Roderick White, the young American violinist. MT. White made his American debut in March. 1915 since which time he has been heard on tour with Alice Nielsen and played with John Mccormack in Brooklyn. He has travelled from coast to coast and from Canada to the gulf, playing in many concerts, and with Mime. Frances Aida and Mime. Dustinn. While in San Francisco he took part in the big Beethoven festivai-one of the most important musical features of the exposition.
 The subscription list for this recital will remain at Cranston's for few more days and it is expected that the list will be materially added to. be- fore it is closed. Reserved seats for the recital are s2.00 and subscribers will have the privilege of selecting their seats before the public sale is

VERY GOOD EDDIE
Coming to Davis Theatre Friday Ev- ening, Feb. 16-Seat Sale Wednes- day at 10 a. m.

After over a year of record break | ing business at the Princess theatre, New York, and nearly Nsix months at the famous Casino, in response to the ing hosts of people throughout the country who desire to see it, Very Good Eddie has been sent on tour and will come to the Davis theatre for one performance, on Friday night. Feb. 16. That the delightful Marbury-C Com stock musical play will pack 'em in'' here is almost a foregone conclusion, for of all the musical novelties of the past season, none has been more of a sensational success in New York than Very Good Eddie, and only two or three productions, either dramatic or musical, can justifiably be men toned as even remotely rivalling it in popular acclaim.
 The success with which Very Good Eddie has met surprises no one per hapS quite as much as it does Mr. F.
 Marbury themselves, going upon the
 theory generally entertained by even
 the wisest of managers. that the suc-
 cess of the best of theatrical produc-
 tions is. after all. in the final analysis,
 largely matter of luck. MT. Com
 stock and Miss Marbury might. on the
 occasion of the New York premiere of the play, have considered they would Eddie should do a capacity business at the Princess for the ensuing three months.
 To be sure. the Marbury y-Comstock company has taken unusual precau- tions to insure Very Good Eddie run ming neck-to-neck with its predeces- sor, Nobody Home. They had made up their minds that inasmuch as the company necessary to produce Very Good Eddie was an unusually small one, it should make up in quality what it would lack in quantity.
 The company which they did select, and which will be seen here intact, combined with the melodious songs of Jerome Kern and the witty lines of Guy Bolton. were all very skilfully imposed on the very excellent farce which marked the beginning of Phillip Bartho1omae's career as a playwright.
 Very Good Eddie is an anomoly among musical productions. With no star interpreting it, no sensational methods used in it's exploitation and nothing to recommend it beyond it's inherent merit, it has become the mus ica1 success of the past decade and bids fair to show a profit to the Mar bury Comstock company of better than a half-million dollars.
