At the Black Hawk,

Douglas Fairbanks phOtoplay,
Say, young fellow" is at the Black
Hawk theatre tomorrow.
In this photoplay Mr.. Fairbanks
portrays the role of a wide-awake,
optimistic reporter employed in a
small city, who wins distinction By
interviewing a millionaire who not
only has never been interviewed be-
fore, but who announced that he
never would submit to reportOriaI
inquisition. How Mr. Fairbanks,
known as "the young fellow gets
to the millionaire and obtains the
story he is after, is said to be a
highly interesting development new
to modern motion pictures.
His success with this ass gnmeDt
prompts his appreciative city editor
to give him another and more diff
ficult one. He sends his young
fellow" to a neighboring town,
where he is to expose a fraudulent
scheme in connection with a big
factory. Then enters in quick sue
cession the villain" portrayed by
Frank Campeau, said by Mr.. Fair
banks to be perhaps the best por-
trayer of villain roles in the cOun-
try. The reporter and this arch
villain" have several encounters
which prove diverttng to the audi
ence as well as to those taking part
therein in the picture.

Coming Of Gluck An Event.
The coming of Alma Gluck, ia
nous soprano, to Augustana gym
nasium on the evening of Feb 25
is creating much interest in musical
circles of the three cities. There
is great demand for tickets, which
are now selling at Norberg's and
Schmidt's music houses. The great
soprano is brought to the tri-cities
by the Helping Hand and Harmony
clubs. conducted and managed by
Miss Mary Lindsay Oliver.
mo one can resist the charm
which radiates from Alma Gluck's
singularly vital beauty and the
appeal of her voice" according to
the Minneapolis Tribune, and Of the
thousands who have been thrilled
by her singing, no one can deny the
words. Of all sopranos now before
the public, one looks in vain for
one to quite rival this wonderful
American prima donna whose me-
teoric rise has frequently been the
topic Of admiring discussion. In
no city where she has ever ap-
peared has Miss Gluck failed to
captivate the public; as the Phila-
delphia Ledger said last December,
For sheer enjoyment, no lyric per-
Torrance of the season has sur
passed that of Alma Buick" and the
Baltimore Star remarked, 1T is
doubtful if any singer has a larger
following than this songstress. A
record breaking audience heard her
and the program can only be de-
scribed as perfect" In Detroit
Miss GIuck attracted probably the
largest audience that has ever lis
tened to concert in this city" to
quote the Detroit News Tribune,
and a similar account comes from
Boston where, as the Boston Rec
ord said, alma Gluck sang to an
audience that packed every part OF
the great auditorium, and again dis
played the wonderful soft warm
quality of voice that has thrilled
thousands"
A few words from the Chicago
Inter-Ocean seem to completely fix
the status of this most glorious |
singer; says that paper, Miss /.
Gluck must now be esteemed as
the foremost of American lyric So
pranos."

D. W. Grifith's masterpiece,
Hearts Of the World" will open
at the Illinois theatre Monday
right, for one week. A matinee
will be given every day beginning
Tuesday. The tremendous advance
sale of seats indicates that this
great attraction will break all rec
ords in the history of tri-city the
atricals. Hearts of the World" is
internationally famous; for the past
year it has been the reigning sue
cess in all the principal cities of
the civilized world. Earlier this
season the production was shown
at the Moline theatre, therefore ev-
cryone is familiar with the merits
of its entertainment; and there is.

Roberts" is rather short
name for a person who goes a
long way to accomplish his desire
for thrill He has just returned
from France where he participated
in the world war to his credit
and to ours. He was attached to
the air service and is an eviatioE
expert, both in the air and on the
ground. He belongs to the old

The days of 1912 when aviation was
n its infancy. He has made exhi-
0ition flights in all parts of the
country before the war, raced
automobiles and motorcycles, per-
formed stunts on a trapeze while
descending in a parachute from Il
balloon. He has no use for the
ground 1t seems, as here in his
present vaudeville he seems con-
tented while playing a cornet on
a slack wire and with q lighted
sIamp balanced on his head he goes
gracefully through series of
tricks on a swinging trapeze. that
gives one a thrill and entertains
because 1t is new. Some day if you
see someone sitting on the edge of

part and go west. The wife-she
was an awfully nice little girl
gave up her savings to send him
away. Her salary was barely
enough to keep herself alone, yet
she tried bravely to support her
husband in Arizona and pay his
medical expenses. This was an
impossibilty, we knew, So several
