Orpheum Theatre-Danfefson.

The stage has come to be consid- cred the ideal place to teach the big. vital lessons. which figure so proni- nent1y in our every day life, and uues- tions that dramatic authors feared to touch upon in previous years. have now come to figure prominently in many of the present day stage pro- ducts The newest of these, Her Un- born Child, which comes to the Or pheum. Danielson, for Wednesday night only, Sept 19. has birth control as its principal theme, and its au- thor, Howard McKent Barnes, has treated his subject with dignity and keen understanding. He teaches a lesson which will find an appeal in the hearts and minds of all who wit ness his play. and his story will take rank with The Blindness of Virtue, which made so many theatregoers sit up and take notice when it was pro duced several years ago.

If you have not seen the show at the Davis the first half of this week don't let anything keep you from at tending at least one of the perform nEees today, as the show is one of the best ever seen at this theatre. The headline attraction is the Duffin Red clay Troupe. a Quartette of athletes who present a comedy casting act that has no equal. They do many daring stunts and keep everyone on edge the whole time they are on the stage Quig1y and Fitzgerald also are making a hit. but theirs is an entirely different offering. They have a com edy Irish singing. talking and danc- ing act that Is way ahead of any other act in their line. The third act Is Eugenie Le Blanc and she puts over a clever comedy offering that is a distinct novelty. In the photopIays fhe feature is Louise Glaum in Col den Rule Kate, a f1ve-part Triangle production of the west when dance halls and gambling were the main in terests for the early settlers. Those who have seen the picture declare it to be the best western picture ever shown at this theatre The comedy completing the show is called A Hotel Disgrace. and 1t Is just one laugh af- ter another. Better see this show for yourself and then you will know why everyone is talking about it. A complete change of programme to- morrow.
