HERE TO-DAY.

nights. A Special matinee will be
given Tuesday. The appearance of
these famous motion picture favor
ties in the spoken drama will be a
decided novelty. Millions of pic
ture fans have seen them on the
screen, but comparatively few on
the stage. 1t is nearly nine years
since Mr.. Bushman appeared in the
spoken drama, but he and Miss
Bayne are known from one end of
the continent to the other in such
picture hits as Romeo and juliet"
"Graustark" and "Under Royal Pa
tronage." Mr.. Morosco does not
do things by halves and he has pro-
vided an exceptionally fine COM
pany and elaborate production for
AThe Master Thief" which is an
up-to-date mystery play. The
American public have always liked
plays Of this sort and "The Master
Thief" is full of thrills and SUR
prises. The scenes are laid in New
York and Florida at the present
time. 1t would not do to tell the
story in too much detail. for in
measure that would tend to take
the edge off the novel situations
Tor the theater-goers. Both Mr..
Bushman and Miss Bayne have par
t;cularly good roles. You meet
eastern types, good men, bad men
and all involved in an engrossing
intensely dramatic story. Of course,
there is delightful love story run
ming throughout the prologue and
three acts. Mr.. Morosco has as
ssenbled company of far more than
ordinary merit for the Interpretation
of "The Master Thief" In addition
to Mr.. Bushman and Miss Bayne
are such favorites as Frank E.
Camp, Harry E. Mckee, Fritz
Adams, Grace Peters, Kate Pier
Roemer, Florence Joyce, James II.
Morrison. Harry English, Harry
Lyons, w. D. Wynn, Myron z.

"Oh, Baby" famous for the "Mar-
Gus Peach" chorus, will be visible at
4the Brandeis for five days, starting
with matinee To-day. In the hands
Of Mike Sacks, Charlie Abbate,
sRichey Covey and their aids,-"Oh,
Baby" is reputed to be the best
laughing show since Weber and
Fields made millions of others laugh.
1t is one of the strong points of the
Marcus show that no sooner is a |
comedy episode finished than on
comes a stage full of airily clad
beauties. All devotees of the great
American game OF poker will revel
in the travesty wherein the chief
player is Mr.. Sacks. Then again
the interlude where Mr.. Sacks at
tempts to make musician of Mr..
Abbate is the cause of much glee.
In Miss Covey Mr.. Marcus has a
find who threatens to eclipse the
present stellar condolences from
Emma Carus and Marie Dressler to
Charlotte Greenwood and Nan Hal
perrin. She is as funny as Dressler
and as dainty as Halperin.
Do You remember when you were
just tiny chap, how you would
read the Thousand and One
Nights" and how from out of all
emerged aladdin and the Won
