~ guarded secret,
but one can depend on the Gayety
for novelty and originality. The first
performance starts tonight at $50
as usual; the second at 1880. The
Bowery Burlesquers will give their
program in its entirety at both
shows. The midnight show will
be over at Las New Years Ito
morrow morning in ample time to
catch "owl" cars home on all lines.
Two performances are scheduled
for the Orpheum tonight, New
Years eve. The first begins at $50
and the watch party show at 1910.
Patrons for the second show are
asked to time their arrival at the
theater at 1908, in order that their
entrance may not be impeded by
the crowds making their exit after
the first performance. 1t is an ex-
tremely lively bill offered this week.
One of the headline offerings is the
musical comedy, Married via Wire
less" Another stellar act is the
amusing comedy, "A Pair of Tick
ets," capitally presented by Wilbur
Mack and company.
ISIS Hopkins" is being played at
Boyd this week with Miss Vada
Hillman in the role made famous by
Rose Melville. The fine old play OF
rural life, with its homespun char
acters and its homely lessons, still
holds an immense charm for the
public, and its rich and simple
humor will always be welcome. A
special matinee will be given New
Years day.
The great world war is leveler
of creeds and religions. To prove
this when Lefty" a private in the
u. S. marines, is found dying on the
battlefields, a Jewish rabbi pins a
Catholic crucifix over his heart and
does his best to make his last
moments as peaceful as possible. A
priest would do as much for a pro-
testant. This story is wonderfully
told in the Edison superfeature
The Unbeliever" showing at the
Brandeis theater four times daily all
this week at /, 3, 7, and 9 p. m.
"The speediest animal act in
vaudeville" is the billing of Thaleros
Circus, one of the headline attrac-
tons at the Empress, and the little
trained actors certainly live up to
the billing. The we'll trained
ponies and dogs prove a treat to
the kiddies as we'll as the grownups
with their clever tricks. Franklyn
Fay, formerly of Fay, Two Coleys
and Fay, a blackface offering Of
international reputation, has a new
offering in white face comedy that
ranks among the very best that
vaudeville patrons have had an op.
portunity to witness.
