AT THE ORPHEUM.

The "AH Girl Revue" will give
last performances at the Orpheum
theater this afternoon and evening.
This is an excellent musical show
and one that is we'll worth seeing.
Featured on the new bill is the
act of the Monala sextet in a novel
program of songs and music. Two
singing and talking comedians,
Ward and Raymond, promise a
novel specially arranged for laugh
ing purposes only. They intersperse
their work with comedy stories and
representations collected during
their extensive travels. Otto Koer-
ner. a comedian of quaint manner
isms, offers an entertaining Skit
called Pep" His portrayal of the
business man with a crouch is un-
equalled and he is supported by
Miss Jackie Mason, an attractive
girl. Doyle and Elaine, billed as the
Daffydill girls, and the Curtis
CANNES in a comedy dog act make
up the program.

THEATERS
AT THE OLIVER.

NJ THE O14lN Tx
The coming OF Turn 10 the
Right" 10 the Oliver theater next
week will introduce 10 local play
goers a play that will be held in
fond remembrance by members OF
the present theatergoing generation.
AS a happy blending OF tears and
laughter it will occupy a niche in
American theatrical history with
The old Homestead" and Way
Down East" while among those
who praised the religious appeal OF
Ben Hur" it will be cited as an ex-
ample Of a comedy without bushes.
The story deals with a type Of
youth common to every small town,
from Maine 10 California-the youth
who leaves home TO seek his fortune
in the city. How Joe Bascom sue
cumbs to the influence of fast COM
pany and the fascination Of gam
bling, 10 be restored to the right
track by mother-love, is told in a
story OF simplet directness in a pro-
logue and three acts. The play was
written by Winchell Smith and John
+. Hazard and it comes here with
the backing Of concurrent runs of
IL months i'm New York and nine
months in Chicago. The complete
cast and production from COhah's
Grand opera house will be seen
here. The engagement is for two
days. starting Friday night. There
Will be q Saturday matinee.
Child actresses are usually the
bane Of the acting profession. for in
most cases they are either terribly
spoiled and artificial or are accom-
panied by domineering and over am
bilious stage mommers."
Not so, however, with Lillian
Ross, who plays the part of Jane
| Baxter. the mischievous little sister,
in the dramatization of Booth Tark-
ington's Seventeen" which comes
10 the Oliver theater Friday night
and Saturday, matinee and night
Miss Ross, though still in her
teens, has had many years expert
ence in the theater. She has played
little girls and little boys with many
of the prominent stars, including
Digby Bell. Thomas Wise, Emma
Dunn and Henry Miller. More re-
Gently she played in the Juvenile cast
o. THE Good Little Devil" toured
America from coast TO coast in
"Rebecca of SunnybrOok Farm" and
played one of the orphans in Dad
dy Long Legs" During the sum-
mer seasons she has appeared in
motion pictures with the Edison
Co.
Jack and the Beanstalk," a mag
niticent perturbation Of the worlds
famous fairy story, will be seen at
the Oliver theater soon.
The Winter garden production,
Robinson Crusoe. jr.." with Al
Jolson as the star, will be presented
at the oliver theater Wednesday,
| Oct. 8.
OF all the stars who have appear
ed on the stage of the New York
Winter garden, Jolson is without
question the most popular--in fact
he takes rank as an entertainer of
unique traits, and one who, If need
| be, could entertain an audience an
entire evening without the aid of
/ supporting company.
