DAVIS THEATRE.
Bia Banner Bill of Keith Headline Acts and Frank keenan in . Triangle Feature Photoplay - Complete Change Of Show Tomorrow.

If you have not seen the show that
 closes a three days engagement at the
 Davis today, you are missing one of
 the biggest treats of the year. Every
 one who. has visited this theatre the
 past two days have been enthuSed
 over the excellent bill that is appear
 ing here. Both vaudeville and photo
 plays are the best that money can buy and every number is feature. The
 headline attraction is the big Keith novelty skit called Memories, a beau
 tiful singing act, presented by four young men who are singers and actors of the highest quality. The second act is Irving and Ward, two clever come dians who have been called the button busters, because they make so many laughs with their funny dialogue. The third act is Kimbal and Bennett. two clever banjo players, in novel musi- cal offering. TheTriangle feature pie ture is called The Sin Ye Do, with the celebrated character actor, Frank Kee- nan, starred. Here is a hypothetical question: If you were a man of the kind seen in the cafes and clubs or in theatre boxes accompanied by per oxide blonde and had a big reputation ir the legal profession-and believed in the theory that a mans private life is his own business. and if your dear est friend was killed by girl he tried to dishonor, whom would you defend? If that girl were your own daughter whom would you defend? These ques- tions are answered in The Sin Ye Do. This is one of the strongest dramatic plays ever produced by the Triangle company. To complete the show there i- a beautiful Pathe film, Florence Roses Latest Fashions, which is very to the ladies. There will be a complete new. show tomorrow of both vaudeville and photoplay, and there ar ethree excellent acts booked; also Douglas Fairbanks will be seen in The Matrimaniac, his latest fea- ture.

THE RAss-cLEF CONCERT.
Charles Harrison, the SoIoist, Re
 markedly Versatile Artist.

Most of the truly great singers of the past, or the present, seem to excel great opera singer. John McCorma elk Ear excellence a singer of ballads. Evan Williams an oratorio singer with a style particularly suited to the in depreciation of choral works of a more serious character.
 While it is hardly req soma ble to sug- gest that Charles Harrison excels or even equals these older and more ma ture artists in their special fields vet the press of the metropolis as well as the country at large leaves but one conclusion, i. e., that he is an artkt of such unusual versatility that he sings the different styles almost equal ly well. To quote: Charles Harrison sings to the enjoyment of any taste, for he sings the operatic aria in a manner that simply lifts his listeners from their seats; he sings the recita- lives and arias from the oratorios in such manner as only the great mas ter is capable, bis singing of the big ger concert songs are notable attain ments; and his singing of the beauti- fu1 old ballads and folk songs are descriptions so vivid as to bring the actual mental picture before every listeners vision"
 Of his voice and style, the New York Post says: His voice is a true tenor of beautiful quality and wide range His singing is free from all anecldClon- PerIecL emission has given him remarkable breadth of delivery and it has also made it possible for him to sing fortissimo or pianissimo without change of timbre his mezzo voice being as vital as his full voice That he is a thorough musician is shown by the authoritative way he sings the larger work"
 The fact that you have never heard of Charles Harrison, if such is the case. means nothing, for he is an art ist with a great future and not a great past.
 The associate members of the club have reserved a very large part of the hall but the acoustic properties are such that seats in the annex are by many considered as good as any, and by some are preferred.
 Sale of single concert tickets begins tomorrow morning. They may be got ten at Cranston's, Broadway, or at the hall on the night of the concert. 4 skunk 1eckniece may he fs stened
