underlying idea of ''The Exquisite

character, two wrongs can make

morseless and unrepentant when

that together they can accomplish
what would be beyond their

part of Blue-Jean Billie. a crook

At the Majestic.

IT'S too good to give away" said
Manager Quinn of the Majestic the
atre when he was asked to tell the
story of Douglas Fairbanks forth
coming production, His Majesty,
the American" which starts Sun
day.
Now, am not going to spoil
the anticipation of my patrons by
telling the story of Douglas Fair
banks new film, His Majesty. the
American in advance. But I will
say this: Fairbanks has spent more
money on this picture than he has
ever spent before, because he has
made it for release direct to the
theatres of the country by the
United artists-the Big Four
which is made up of Mary Pickford,
Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks
and D. W. Griffith.
The story of His Majesty, the
American is a knockout. 1t gives
Doug a chance to do a lot of en-
tirely new tricks and I don't hest
tate to say that the picture is far
and away the biggest production
that he has ever turned out.
Supporting Mr. Fairbanks in
this production are Marjory Daw,
Frank Campeau, Lillian Langdon,
Albert McQuarrie and Sam Soth-
ern, famous New York and London
actor and brother of E. H. Sothern.

At The Columbia.

By way of varying the usual pro-
gram, manager Scharnberg OF the
Columbia theatre, Davenport, is
going TO give his patrons something
entirely new for the first half OF
the week beginning Sunday in
Concentration" a remarkable sci
entific and occult demonstration OF
the powers Of mind as developed
by George Lovett, who is known
everywhere in the civilized world
as the mental marvel of the age.
Mr.. Lovett has augmented his en-
pertaining and mystifying act with
the Incompatible mysterious
band" which in conjunction with
Mile. Zenda, a psychologist of wide
reputation, forms the nucleus Of a
most entertaining and interesting
demonstration which embraces
mystery, music, science and mirth.
The offering is a spectacular affair
vastly different from the old time
mind reading act and offers a real
human mind, it's activities and ca
pacities This is all done in a sci
entific manner, there being no at
tempt at Illusion or spectacular eff
feet only as it occurs within the
legitimate bounds of the offering.
Mile. Zenda and the mysterious
band are kept busy answering
many requests for information and
advice and playing of favOrite
musical instruments and selections.
With these two remarkable feat
ures in conjunction, a genuine
novelty of the highest type is Of
fered. Many different styles of
mental telepathy" have been Of
fered here, but it remains for Mr..
Lovett to infuse his demonstration
with novelty and an exhibition of
psychic power that is given in an
entirely new and novel manner.

Burtis to Reopen.

HE buILiS lutdLICr OdNChpOAA
will reopen next Tuesday evening
with the presentation of Scandal
a modern day story that has at
tracted much favorable comment
during its eastern and Chicago
runs.
Patrons of the Burtis will be de-
lighted with the changes that have
been made in the playhouse dur
ing the summer when artisans
placed the building in an entirely
new dress. The old niger heav-
en-" has been transformed into a
second balcony and seats will be
reserved there as well as in other
parts of the house. An entirely
new lighting system has been in
stalled in accordance with the cleo
trical regulations. The walls have
been redecorated in soft and at
tractive coIors and the old hang
ings have been replaced with beau
tiful new ones in a harmonizing
color. Plate glass doors have been
placed in the theatre lobby and
former patrons will have trouble
in recognizing the Burtis as they
have known ito these many
years.
A splendid line Of attractions has
been booked. including most Of the
stars now appearing before the
footlights and the program, as out
lined will present to the theatre
going public of the tri-cities sew
eral of the best musical comedies
on the stage. Everything points to
an unusually successful year at
the Burtis.
Scandal will be presented Tues
day and Wednesday nights with a
matinee Wednesday, and reserva-
tions are now being made at the
box office.
The story Of Scandal" has to do
with a weekend party at the home
of a millionaire, with a locale in
the hills of Connecticut. This in
itself is very exciting, as these lit
tie riday-to-Saturday things fur
nish topics for discussion through
out the remainder of the week. In
this play Mr.. Hamilton has taken
his audience into the inLermost
thoughts and lives of a set that is
supposed to be alOOf and aloft. He
has drawn the characters true to
life. and tells just what they do,
and how they do it, and in the
meantime has woven a wonderful
romance around the girl who want
ed to have her eyes opened; it
takes three acts to open her eyes,
and at the end of the third they
are really very wide open, and she
sees everything that can be OBJ
served from the top of a ruby
chariot as if it were doing a turn
about one of these exclusive draw
ing rooms The first man to pick
off one of her little eye-lashes and
expose those dreamy optics is an
artist, and this happens at half
past nine right in his very own
studio. From then on many things
happen, and it finishes in her own
bedroom at her mothers country
home
Cosmo Hamilton has handled the
situations with the hand of mas
ter, fnasmuch as just when you are
ready to cry for this poor little
rich girl, he just turns you round
with a great big laugh and you feel
all the better for it; that is, you
feel better for her, and you feel
better for yourself
