Novel Spectacle Remains Till Friday.
Manager Henrici the Hipp has ar
ranged for the novel spectacle, de-
structlon OF Rheims to remain over
Until Friday for the benefit OF those
who have not been able to see it. AS
mechanical accomplishment 1t has
been worked almost to the point OF
perfection, and the success OF the act,
Judging by the excellent attendance
and the enthusiastic expressions OF
those who saw the spectacle, is as
sured for a long steady run. One OF
the very much interested spectators
Monday evening was young man
who saw twenty two months service
going over from Canada, He vouched
for the wonderful reality of this scene
having himself been under fire so
many times that it became an ordin-
airy occurrence for him, and passing
through many such scenes as were
represented on the Hipp stage.
If you should see long blue streak
shoot down the valley on of these af-
ternoons, and are not sure what 1t Is,
well tip you off. It is B. & o. Off
cial trying to get away from Johnny
Mack. Mack, one of the team Of Mack
and Lehne had eight hundred dol
lars worth of wardrobe reduced to
an intrinsic value OF about thirty
cents the other night. One Of his
large trunks was left setting out in
the rain at the station, and all the
pretty things got wet, and when
chorus girls costume gets wet and
shrinksA well, there isn't any too
much at any time, and slight shrink
age makes 1t impossible. Mack
failed to get much satisfaction out OF
the busy railroad company, and be-
ing member of the Elks, told his
troubles to brother Elk who knew
the law, and straightaway started on
a curse which he hopes will lead to
the recovery Of at least part OF the
goods In spite of the little loss,
however, we heard very promising
young critic say that the ERab last
night was the best he had seen at the
Hipp for some time. The last show
was turned into sort of get-together
affair, in which the front row, conf
fortably filled with the younger blood
gave satisfactory assistance in the rem
dition of most of the song numbers,
the barber shop CHORD being much
in evidence. The bill changes to-
night on the tabloid part Of the pro-
gram, the vaudeville act changing to-
morrow.
This is a Hot One.
The five-reel World Picture, entit-
led Ginger" which the Princess has
today produced by Burton George.
1t has conventional beginning and
it might perhaps be said that, SO
far as the plot is concerned, 1t is
quite obvious throughout But the
development is such that the story
gets real hold upon the interest
and for this reason the subject is
stronger than many more, preten-
tious ones. The opening scenes are
in the tenement section of New York
City and the later scenes are on the
battlefields Of France.
ArgNlOl6L T dlIl6A 40 GoSI IL GLAS 49,
Of Ginger, pretty girl Of the East
Side, who is taught to steal by her
father. She is adopted by the judge
of the juvenile court and in, later
gears marries his son. Some observ-
ers would have perhaps preferred her
to marry Tim, her newsboy friend,
but the conclusion is satisfying as
Il is.
Miss Palmer makes with surpris-
ing ease the step from pronounced
Juvenile part to that of an educated
Young lady Of manageable age. She
plays all of her scenes effectively.
Garreth Hughes and Raymond Hack
ett also appear to advantage as the
two boys, who become rivals for the
girls hand.
The atmosphere of this story has
been well looked after; the tenement
