tion-thc so-called big Four"-will be
featured on the screen Of the Victor
Theater this week
The production demanded not only
very unusual and elaborate settings
which were provided without reckon,
ing the cost, but also called for an ex-
ceedingly strong cast to support
Doug in his journeyings through the
picture.
AS in the case OF the settings Mr.
Fairbanks gave his director, Joseph
lienabcrry. carte blanche to secure the
best talent available regardless of eX-
pcnse.
The feminine lead is played by Mar
1ory Dow who has now appeared OPP
posite Mr.. Fairbanks in six of his best

that Doug" uses rather heroic meas
urcs to rescue damsels from distress
1t Will be understood that it requires
some experience to play opposite him.

"THF BOOMERANG"

Arrangements have been completed
fca the appearance at the Academy
of Music shortly of the latest Belasco
comedy success The Boomerang"
This comedy was the attraction at the
Belasco theatre. New York, for fifteen
solid months. There is only one COM
pany presenting The Boomerang"
with the entire original production in
tact,
without a doubt many local theatre
goers have already seen The Boom
erlng" either in New York or Chicago,
and know what to expect when ii is
promised that the comedy will be
presented here even to the smallest
detail precisely as 1t was played in
those citits. including in it's cast of Bel
asco excellence Robert CONFESS. John
Clements, George Spelvin, Louiszita
Valentine. Lenora Phelps. Alma Ches-
ter and number of others. The sea-
son of this Winchell Smith and Victor
Mapes comedy was to have closed at
an early date but Mr. Belasco, in order
not to disappoint his many friends in
Richmond extended its tour for few
days so that the engagement originally
intended to have been played here last
October could be played. AS may be
remembered the rage of the influenza
epidemic prevented Richmond theatre
goers from seeing this comedy at that
time. The engagement is for Mon
day, Tuesday and Tuesday matinee.

had fought his own way up from

He began to see the defect--a

the newsboys. and the carriers, who
gathered at tie alley doors OF the
press room every afternoon for
their papers, and by arousing her
interest in them, inspired her with
the idea Of organizing Newsboys'
Club. He figured IL Constance
could once be interested in doing
things for other people instead OF
always asking other people to do
things for her. he could gradually
bring a new angle into her life.
He watched the experiment curl

girl wife had absolutely no idea. A
few months later he suggested to
her 1t would be wonderful thing
for the Woman's Club OF the city,

Henry Antrim as the proprietor of

something of dancer, but there are
