There has been booked for the week starting to- morrow combination of vaudeville and pictures that would be a credit to any theatre in the land and the at fractions are in Keeping with the dec- laration of MT.

theatres. The feature pictures are the sort that command greater price or admission than is asked for the vaude- vile and pictures combined, and there are picture theatres that project nOth- ing but the comedy and news reels at the same price a Loew patron gets vaudeville, feature pictures and the news and comedy for good measure.
 Heading the vaudeville for the first half will be the distinguished actor, William Schilling, and his company in the intensely dramatic playlet, "The Lash" Unlike most vaudeville play lets. this sketch is all meat. It starts with the rise of the curtain and there is sure fire action until the end The mere boy and the climax has been con- ceded to be one of the greatest mo- ments on any stage. 'The Lash" has been wonderful sensation all over the Loew circuit, and is to be one of the events of the season here. Al Har-l ris and Grace Lyman, who have been making people laugh for several sea- sons, will contribute a lot @ funny things, the funniest to be a burlesque boxing match that was such scream in New York that the act was held for eight weeks in one of the Loew theatres. Adeline Lowe, the stunning athletic beauty, with her two male partners, will present something un- usual in novelty and offer some stunts that will be town talk before the second day of their engagement
 Leonore Simonson, the pleasing so- prano, with songs that appeal, will be

on the bill and will douAtless be a drawing card, and the clever antics of Gordon and Gordon on parallel bars will add to the quality of first-class vaudeville combination.
 Herbert Rawlinson, the clever screen star, who has recently attracted as much attention as any of the idols of the silent stage, will be the star of new and exclusive fiye-reel crook picture, 'eThe Man Trap and the news and comedy pictures will be of the sort that has made Loew's Bijou busy.
 For the last half of the week it ap- pears that one of the strongest shows To begin with the latest release of feature. Miss Brady has multitude of admirers here because of her recent visit and all of the movie fans are go- ing to be impatient to see her in the thrilling five-reeler "The Belgium Maid"
 The vaudeville for the last half will be in keeping with the class of the picture. There are acts of known qual- ity, acts that have and do play the best theatres in the land and that have come to the Loew circuit in recogni- tion of the fact that the circuit is paramount in many parts of the coun- try. Howard and Ross who have played their banjos in every part of the world and who are conceded to be the masters of the instrument, will head the vaudeville features.

 Pals First" is an attractive new
 comedy full of character and with en-
 tirely new ideas, and is from the
 novel of Francis Perry Elliott, whose
 stories have acquired considerable
 vogue. Lee Wilson Dodd has put the
 book into stage shape as a comedy.
 in a prologue and three acts and 1t has
 already been described 'as sweet as
 a wild rose" There are any number
 of complications worked into the new vehicle, in which the two very prom i inent opponents are drawn, but who are ultimately brought together Ill spite of the contentious, through the revelations evolved by the clever au- thor.
 The comedy is said to be most novel and original in construction and move ment, human in sentiment and charac- ter and offers the company, which is a large one, ample opportunity for the presenting of an artistic performance. The action of the play occurs near Nashville, Tenn, anu the reports scenically of the new production indi- cate dramatic event worth seeing.

ties on the front and the heavy toll Of death They show the taking of Arras,
 where 100000 Germans were killed.
 In addition to these two startling and
 sensational attractions there will be nine
 other acts of excellent vaudeville
 The four fighting Canadians were all members of the Canadian overseas
 forces that were sent over there In
 1915 They are: Sergeant Major J ohm
 Parker, Sergeant J. w. Cook, Sergeant Albert Edward Blake and Corporal Her
 bert Healey The heroism of the Can adian forces is now a matter of history, and the marvellous stand they made that stouped the German onrush to Calais is one of the most brilliant achievements ever recorded. Among the many heroes who fell in the course of this action
 were the quartet mentioned above. They were all wounded and at that time didn't know each other. They met on cots in a field hospital back Of the lines and then together were removed to Ramsgate hospital. Later the four wounded soldiers again found themselves together in the Spadina Military hos pital. Toronto and now they are en- toying d furlough, but after their com plete recovery they will again join thelr regiments at the front.
 These sour fighting Canadians in their vaudeville act tell of their experiences, render pleasing musical entertainment and present what they call "A Night h Billets." They are known in vaudeville as "The Shrapnel Dodgers.
 The Canadian fighters will be the headline attraction for tile first half of the week. and as co-entertainers on the bill vii. be Howard and White Ill ''The Gadabouts," Dell and Gliss, musical comiques, Willing and Elaine, character singing and dancing, and the Victoria trio, singing girls.
 The first part of the third and last (Continued on Page EIevcn)

that miracle is offset by remarkable exhibition that is going to be a treat. Maidie DeLong, one of the cleverest character impersonators in vaudeville, will offer the act that made her a favorfte on Broadway, and Andrew Kelly absolutely the best Irish story teller in the profession, will contribute causes of free laughter. Alvin and Kenny in comedy bar antics and Brandt and Audrey in. roller skating stunts complete a very classy bill.
 The scale of admissions at Loew's Bijou for the continuous performances, to II o'clock, will continue at 10 cents in the afternoons and 10, 15 and 25 cents at night, but effective Thurs day, November@1, there will be gov ernment tax of 1 cent on each 10-cent ticket, 2 cents on each 15-cent ticket, cents on each 25-cent ticket and 4 cents on each 35-cent ticket, and Loew's Bijou will simply act as a col lector to receive this money and turn over to Uncle Sam.

GARDEN OF ALLAH
 LAVISH SPECTACLE,
 AT THE JEFFERSON
Booked for Three Perform ances This Week-''Pal
 First" Next Show

Silence--a silence which keeps the audience quietly seated minute long, ST than in the usual eager rush to the exits-occurs after the final scene of "The Garden of Allah now on it's fifth annual tour and which opens at the Jefferson Tuesday and Wednes- day. Wednesday matinee, enthralling through the beauty. of it's magnificent stage pictures and the power of it's philosophy.
 The silence is a tribute to the won derful impression which the play pro- duces-the audience completely capit- story.
 In brief, it tells of Boris, the monk, who goes to the desert in search of peace and contentment, and there meets Domini Enfilden, a beautiful young English woman, deeply relig- ious, but whose life has been one of sorrow. Boris is rude to Domini and encounters her displeasure, but in his strange, wild nature she finds att fractions and they are finally mar ried. Their honeymoon is spent sR . desert trip in which a sandstorm forms enc of the rich pictures graphically shown to the audience. Out of the storm comes Count Anteoni.. who has been kind to Domini and Father Rou- bier. Boris is then unmasked by the count and the raging clements in the sandstorrn seem puny in the mighty struggle of soul which leads Boris to confess his past life to Domini. His return to the monastery at the in- sistence and self-sacrifice of Domini, leaves the audience awed and silent.
 The play is rich in climaxes-- rivaled only in power and action by the witchery of stagecraft, which pro- duces a series of scenes with all of the haunting mysticism of the orient.
