er character acting. The story is a
very interesting ono and is sure to
hold the attention of the audience.

petent cast of players and THE Gyp-
sy Trail is we'll presented. The seem
cry is beautiful, the mountain scenes
being taken in the real mountains and
not faxed. The latest episode Of The
Iron Test is also on today's bin and
is very interesting. \ comedy and
several shorter pictures complete the
photoplay program.
Five acts of vaudeville are offered

the show with a musical act; Belmont
& Moore come next in a novelty dane
ing act; Charles Anger the worlds

FOX-'S TTIEATER.

Packed Houses attended the Open
ing performances of Fox's anniver-
sary program of six vaudeville acts
and Frank Keenan, in The Midnight
3tagI"-
In The Midnight Stage, Frank
keenan, has a vehicle for his splendid
ability as a character actor, even
greater than 1.-The Bells, which was
successfully shown one Sunday eve
ming recently at FoX's. AS with 1.-THE
Bells on the spoken stage, the play
from which THE Midnight Stage"
was adapted for the screen, was re-
sponsible in a large measure in build
ing up the fame OF the distinguished
English actor, Sir Henry Irving. THE
Lyons Mail" offer contrast in char
acterization which would tax the
ability of the best of actors. Instead
of adhering to the French story and
the 1916 period in making the screen
adoption, THE Midnight Stage" Is
transferred to California in the sixties
and made a truly American melodra-
ma of the west. Mr.. Keenan, plays
the dual role of John Lynch, an aris-
tOcratic southerner, who is seeking
his fortune in a new country, and
"Bige" Rivers. n brutal drunken
road agent. 1t is a story that grips
the interest from beginning until the
end, which comes with an amazing
climax.
The vaudeville program opens with
the Parshleys, a high class musical
act; Burns & F'oran, very clever sing
ers and dancers; Fillmore & Claire,
with May Gilmore as funny as in the
days when she worked with her sis
ter Kate. The Harvey Family were
we'll received as were Francis & De-
mar in q comedy offering with some
good piano playing. Prince Charles,
an amazing monk, closes the show in
q remarkable exhibition of intelli
gence on the part of this dumb brute.
He eats and drinks at a table, writes
on a typewriter, telephones and per-
forms with dexterity on a bicycle.
The above program will be present
ed today and tomorrow with six en-
tirely new acts; Harold Lockwood in
The Great Romance, a siX-part
scren classic; Tom Mix, in "Hearts
and Saddles, and Pearl White in cpl
sode number four of 1.-THE lightning
Raider, for Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.
