MANY BRITISH
 OFFICERS HAVE
 NARROW ESCAPE

London, Nov. 21 - British officers commanding troops which have since been withdrawn from Archangel and Murmansk fronts were saved by Rus sian artillery fire from annihilation by Russian mutineers at Tu1gau shortly before they left Russia. The story has just been told by a special correspondent who was with the British forces in North Russia.
 Some of the British were in hut when they were fired upon by one of the mutineers through an open doorway. The Russian missed and was shot down, his failure revealing plans for a general massacre. All the wires, except one to a village where loyal Russian artiIlerymen were stationed, had been cut and the mutineers were preparing to turn machine guns upon the British when the trapped men te1ephoned the Russian gunners. Immediately the loyal Russians began to drop 45 shells among the mutineers and the British escaped.

THE HARDEST TASK
 FOR A PRODUCER

The hardest task before the pro- ducer. declared Walter Brooks, one of the best stage producers in the United States who won great acclaim from the press over his intelligent and effective work in staging Fifty Fifty, Limited'' at the Comedy Thea tre in New York, ''the hardest task for producer is to know just how far to progress in rehearsing a com pany. To rehearse it too little is fatal, and to rehearse it too much is a blum der. The secret lies in rehearsing it just enough to place everybody and everything, and still keep the play fresh in the minds of the players so they will give the necessary zip and snap to it. Too many plays are rehearsed too long, and the company is not alert. It is almost as bad as not enough. remember story that illustrates how fatal is too much re- hearsing. A sweet young thing and a manly young god were to be married and the rehearsal of the ceremony was engaged in two weeks in ad- vance. It was made the occasion of a merry gathering. The day finally arrived, and the ceremony was pro- gressing nicely.
 Does any one know any reason why this woman should not be we'd ded to this man?" the minister ask ed.
 'I do," the prospective groom re- piled to the dismay of all. The nnin- ister was duly surprised and the bride shocked. Finally the groom realized that he had answered enormously The given answer should have come later.
 
 what comes from too much rehear. Sal.'

THINK OF IT!

Despite the discomfort of making up for her part as the Japanese girl in The Willow Tree,'' the Conan and Harris stage hit. Viola Dana finds some consolation in life. Irksome as it is to have ones eyebrows pulled back and up, to get the desired slit edged effect, then to wear an elabor- ate Japanese wig, Miss Dana remark ed:
 But then I suppose even the Jap anese women aren't the worst off Think of the poor Eskimo wife whose husband stays out all night and the nights six months long!

LYRIC.

Enthusiastic over the success which has greeted them during the forepart of the season the Poli Play CTS will venture next week into pre- Senting one of those modern and pop ulad bedroom farces which will open at the Lyric theater Monday after noon ''P1ease Get Married,'' is one of the latest Of this brand of comedy and the author has profited by the mistakes which others have made with the result that Please Get Married' Is head and shoulders over anything that has been presented i'll this line.
 The production tells an interesting and humorous story of the troubles Of a young couple who are sure they are married but are convinced by others that they are not. They are follow ed everywhere by their solicitious friends who appear desirous of pro- tecting them from doing anything rash. This gives rise to many com phcations which are the foundation for much laughter and keeps the au- dience in an uproar throughout.
 The musical comedy, "Oh, Boy,' is still attracting thousands and only a few more opportunities remain in which this can be seen. This is the first time that the local company has attempted this sort of production and their success is well merited. The music is pretty and original and spe- cia1 credit must be given the players for their efforts along these lines.
 Manager George Arvine announces an excellent program for the photo play concert Sunday night, which vii! feature the delightful story, '"The One Woman" written by the author of ''The Birth of the Nation.' The production is one of the best that has been seen on the screen in some time In addition to this the tenth episode of that wonder serial, "The Midnight Man" will be shown with James J Corbett as the feature. The Sen- nett fun-mallers will present the de- cidedly humorous comedy, "The Lit tie Widow" and the Pathe News is as interesting as ever. There will be two performances, the first at { o'clock, and the second at o'clock The Lyric orchestra will give its usua concert throughout the two perform arces.

Theatre Reviews
PLAZA

'"The Mysterious MT. Browning" which was shown at the Plaza Thea -tre starting yesterday is story that is as cleverly told as it is unique in character. Walter Miller, who plays the lead is seen in a dual role, first as a millionaire bank President and then as Red Harrison. of the un- derworId. The plot sustains the mystery right to the very end of the picture. Edna Maison and Paul Pan ger do some good work in MT. Mil Lrs support.
 .. "A Scottish Romance with the ,SeSx Gordon Players is a, very good afterng. There is much unusually gccd singing and dancing, and a pret- ty little plot interwoven. The cor onet and horn playing is also fine. The act was given some rousing good applause which they well earned. Mason and Dixon, fitted out in even ing clothes present "On the Southern Line" a very funny act that is far away from the beaten path of com edy turns usually seen here. Their singing is also a feature. Irma and Connor starring 'fThe Mary Pickford of the Wire and she surely does look the picture of Mary, offer a nov city wire and dancing act. Some surprisingly clever feats are perform ed by this duo. Goldini, an accordi- anist went well. She played mostly popular music. Topics of the Day, Fox News and Prisma picture com pleted the bill.

BERT GOES PRESS
 AGENT ONE BETTER

Bert Lytell was uninpressed by the story that in the Japanese garden constructed at the big Hollywood stu dios the grass grew overnight. When I was first starting my theatrical life," remarked MT. Lytell, there was no hotel in one town we played, except the park, that is. And one actor went to sleep half on the grass half on the sidewalk. The weeds came up under him overnight and rolled him right onto tae s.eewa1k. And At this point the crowd be- came uncomfortable.

BEST OF LUCK!

Maxwell Karger, Director General of Screen Classics, Inc, had literally to corner Jack Holt, wno mas a lead ing part in the Drury Lane me1odra- ma, '"The Best of Luck,'' by Cecil Raleigh, Henry Hamilton and Arthur Collins, to get Holt to have his pie ture taken. The magnetic young act or finally agreed, but not without protest.
 What makes it such a job is the way photographers act" he pointed out to MT. Karger. They sit you down in a chair, say There now, turn your head just a little this way-there- that's better-Now a bit the other way p1ease-Don't droop the corners of your mouth-And then with every thing set, they find they've forgotten to put the plates in the camera

PARK.

Billy Watson's burlesque, "The Parisian Whirl,' reputed to carry 20 beauties of the first water is sadly in need of a little more beauty and comedy and less of the quantity.
 This is especially true of the fe- male leads who must go down in his tory as having good voices and good understandings but lack much in the beauty line. Their one ambition seems to display the understandings they maintain with audience to their best advantage but do little real work beyond standing around and leading Billy Watson.
 Billy Watson himself is the only shining light of the whole show with MT. Rapp, the violinist. While Wat sons work is good as it has been for years he has no support to put his comedy across and at times tries to amuse the audience with foolishness. There are other times when the show almost approaches the usual stand ard of burIesques seen here.
 There are many comedy maidens in the chorus of beauties and the cos tune setting of the show are excel- lent and with a little pep the bur- lesque might do much more than just get by.

Footlight Chatter

.'FTfty-Fifty, Limited" a musical version of William Gillette's famous comedy, .All the Comforts of Home,
 took a prominent place in the tnea- trical Armament in New York last week. It was staged by Walter
 Brooks for the Scibilia Producing
 Company, and it was one of the
 most effectively staged and 1nteli- gently directed productions this sea- son.
 Madame Marguerite Sylva, the noted operatic prima donna, left Chicago last week for Santa Barbara. Cal, where she has segun her first de luxe picture under the direction of the American Film Company. It was advertised in that she city that she required unusual scenarios, and she received within 4 hours more than 300, all of which were "unu- sual'' She is now advertising instead for good scenarios, and expresses the l hope that the response may be as eff 1 fective.
 | Langdon Mccormack who wrote ! and invented the effects used in the
 sensational melodrama '"The Storm" !" 1 which George Broadhurse has pro- duced in New ork ana when IS US
 most effective play, has built a pri- vate theatre equipped with perfect mechanical and electrical department
 by which he may test the effects he
 uses in his plays. '"The Storm" has
 won for him the sobriquet of master , of stage plays" and indeed the storm
 and forest fire effects used in this
 play are as realistic as the real thing
 and some think more so. The audi
 ence never feels treasured until the
 sight of burning trees and buildings
 is shut out from their vision by the
 lowered curtain.

MYSTIC KARA WILL
PLAY HERE z DAYS

The Theater Goer with a scientific
turn of mind will find much to admire
and wonder at and an equal amount
to cause food for thought in the en-
tertainment offered by Kara and his
Wonder Workers, who will make their
appearance at the Nixon opera house
Tuesday and Wednesday, September
30 and October 1. Since the announce
ment was made that the mental mar
vel and problem of scientists was to
come here, many inquiries have beer
made as to whether the famous
Bombay Scance would be given here
as at the Rialto theater in Reno.
To the anxious, the manager Of the
theater and the representative of the
Kara attraction assure that at each and
every performance this startling
demonstration of thought projection,
mind over matter, or whatever Ia
may term it, will occupy the promi-
nent. or closing part of the prcgrum.
And this season Kara Ia. wen gone
further into the depths of the SEEM
ingly impossible, apparently pene-
trating to the beyond to such an e.
tent that students of the occult and
psychic research have given up all
hope of ever explaining in a compre-
hensive amer his remarkable per-
Torrance.
While the Bombay Seance is the
piece de resistance of this unusual
mystic, there is much additional to
the program that will suffice to sat
isify those without a serious thought,
several of his recently acquired East
Indian magical masterpieces allowing
him opportunity to indulge in bits
of humor, the spontaneity of which is
refreshing and which lends to the en-
~tertainment, for it is true that all
thoroughly American people like to
be fooled and mystifed. provided
there is no embarrassment attached.
And in these things we accept grace
fully those things which a few years
ago we would have declared i'm
possible and had they been proffered
would have thought it an insult to
our intelligence.
