All Star Acts
On Regent Bill

Once in a while a vaudeville bill
comes to town with every number
registering headline character
Such bill is presented in the new
Regent show which opened Sun
day. Every act is hit, and they
are all headliners.
The Royal Court Quintet, in CO.
lonial costume, have an exception
al instrumental and vocal num-
Der. The woman of the company
has a beautiful soprano voice.
Jackson, of the team of Bar
Der and Jackson, has legs like a
giraffe and face that any circus
clown would envy. His part OF
the bill stopped the show. The
team is exceptionally good.
Barto and Rialto are jugglers
with a new twist to their act and
some good comedy. Manita and
Maryon, two girls, do a dance act
in full stage and haven't enough
additional stunts to supply all the
encores.
Leroy and Tozier win big ap-
applause by their comedy number.
Michael Emmett sings real Irish
songs with real Irish brogue.
"The Great Secret" Metros big
serial, has come to the Regent,
and If the opening chapter is an
indication of the worth of the pic
ture, the Bushman-Bayne feature
is to be big success.

Movie Actress
Makes Own Fog

Victoria Forde, leading woman
for Tom Mix's western comedy
company of William Fox photo
players, holds that for is the great
est tonic for the skin. Because
she lives in Los Angeles where
fogs are Of rare occurrence, Miss
Forde is going to make her own
fogs. She will manufacture this
fog by process which she is jeal-
ously guarding and which may
later be put upon the market.
San Francisco women are ia
nous for their compilations. Due
to fogs, London women bear sun
set hues in their cheeks, and not
placed there by hand, either. II

Miss Forbes complexion is a
thing Of Joy, but she fears that
constant sunshine, without the re-
lieving veil OF an occasional fog,
may wreak havoc with 1t.

Mary Pickford
In New Aircraft

In the role of little castaway,
Mary Pickford pleased big audi
ences yesterday at the Melbourne
in her first Aircraft production,
LESS Than the Dust"
1t is different from anything in
which Miss Pickford has yet ap-
peared, the story being laid in
India.
One of the big scenes of the pic
ture is a street in an Indian city
with its great shops and bazaars
and all the color and ever chang
ing views of an eastern thorough
fare.
A splendid comedy offering of
slapstick variety, a scenic film and
special music completes the bill.

Had to Chop
"Sapho" Short

Sapho not to be Red Cross
nurse. 1t was the original inten-
tion of the Famous Players, in
adapting "Sapho" as Paramount
picture with Pauline Frederick in
the stellar role, to show the ulti-
mate conversion of the model into
. Red Cross nurse. Stern facts,
however, rendered this impossible
rs the telling OF the early chapters
in Sapho's career required SO
much space that the details of her
Red Cross work could not be gone
into. As a result, the closing
scenes OF the picture as 1t will be
finally screened, show simply the
conversion of Sapho to the better
things Of life as represented by her
presence i'm church.

With the opening of the North
western league season still 20
days off, Owner Russ Hall of the
Tacoma Tigers has about made up
his mind TO send off for his 80
or more recruits at once and
start them through the training
work.
Miserable weather during the
past few weeks was instantly for
gotten when a warm sun came out
Sunday, and Hall was feverish at
once to start his 1917 training
camp.
A pleasant little snowfall Mon
day morning, and some almost
freezing weather, changed Halls
mind slightly, but he was daring
enough to send off transportation

GOING FOR THAT
TITLE, HE SAYS

chance at the Pacific coast light
weight crown, he would have un-
eraciously consigned his inform
ant to the care OF the state at

hut Steele IN matched, and
he meets frankie Sullivan,
one of the cleverest boxers
In the west, at Glide rink to-
morrow night. A series of
peculiar condolences caused
the match.
Paul gave up the ring nearly
q year ago and has devoted him
self to gymnasium instruction
steadily since that time. But he
had one old score to settle with
a Spokane boxer named Hector st.
John, and when an Ellensburg
club offered to let him meet st.
John last week Paul agreed.
The Tacoma boxer knew he was
in good shape. But he was al
most as surprised as st. John
when he slipped over "a right
cross i'm the first round and put
the Spokane boy to sleep. Steele
realized then and there that he
was in better condition than ever
before.
When Paul returned to Tacoma
Saturday morning, he was greeted
by letter from Chef Mcintyre
of Seattle saying that Lloyd Mad
den, who had been matched to
box Sullivan here, had broken a
rib. Eddie Pinkham had also
fractured a bone in his fist.
1t looked for minute as
though the headliner for Tues
days boxing carnival had disap-
peared. Then Paul remembered
his unusually good condition, and
his easy defeat of st. John
why haven't | as good O
chance at that title as anyone
else?' he demanded. And imme-
diately Steele got on the wire and
was matched with Sullivan.
Il have seen Pinkham and Mad
den and Sullivan all in action, and
] believe that l can defeat any OF
them says Steele.
Tuesday nights battle at Glide
rink means a whole lot to both
Steels and Sullivan. The Los An
geles boy Is matched with Eddi,
Campi, one Of the best light
weights in America, at Seattle
Friday night. Should he lose t.
Steele, his Seattle bout will b.
cancelled. Steele has set his hear
on the title, and he is going to put
Sullivan to sleep If there is any
possible way Of doing It. Steele
isn't kidding when he says 1t
either.
