Blackstone Deserves Assumed Title
Of Master Magician.

" "dotST '"aS'S'"''
The great Blackstone, the worlds
master magician, appeared Sunday
night at the Odeon, to n fair sized
audience. He should have received
the patronage of everyone who en-
Joys a magical entertainment and OF
those who do not for the latter class
would have become converted after
one evening with Blackstone, No
more entertaining or moro finished
magical exhibition has ever been on
the Odeon stage Blackstone uses
some of the well-known apparatus
tricks and some OF the old as we'll as
new illusions, and gives an exhibit
ton in the manipulation of cards that
Is amazing.
The absolute certainty with which
Blackstone works and his clever exc
cution. coupled with humorous patter
which keeps the audience in an up
roar, makes the most skeptical pat
rons confident of the success of the
tricks before the program has pro-
crossed very far.
The mastery of Blackstone is
shown In the great hunting in the
air" experiment. in which he catches
live doves from the empty air with n
landing net. This experiment, n fav-
orite with Thurston, Is one OF the
most mystifying presented.
Blackstone varies his program,
producing cages OF canaries and
doves from empty boxes, incubating
ducks from a tub of water as done
by Alexander Hermann. He present
ed the golden ball of Osiris which de-
fed the laws Of gravitation, causing
a half dozen full-grown ducks to
disappear in a flat topped table.
His deviation Illusion Is presented in
a new form which makes its startling,
the floating girl entirely disappear
ing. His closing experiment. "A Bach
elor's Dream" is the biggest and one
of the best numbers on the program.
AS a card manipulation it is doubt
ful if Blackstone has an equal; in
his execution Of the larger expert
ments he is unexcelled.

At the Casino.

At the Casino theacer roday's and
Tuesdays attraction is an Allan
Dwan production, The Luck of the
Irish" 1t Is the screen adoption of
the book by the same name by Har-
old MacGrath, and is a thrilling pic
ture Of romance love, laughter and
fights. James Kirkwood, the screen
favorite is seen in the character Of
William Grogan, and Anna @. Nils
son, makes an adorable Ruth War
rem.
The story deals with the adven-
lures of an Irish plumber, William
Grogan, who inherits a fortune and
starts out on sight-seein trip
around the world. On board the ship
he sees pair of feet that he has
watched pass his plumbing shop,
girl, Ruth Warren, is making a trip
to get away from Colburton, a mil
lionaire and one Of life's MASTERS,
whom Ruth had formerly Tilted. On
board the same ship IS Camden. Col
burton's jackal, who has instruc-
tons to follow the girl
The rest of the picture is filed
with thrills, but, needless to say. it
ends very happily with Ruth and
William in the final fade out
Anne @. Nilsson helps much to
make the play a success. Her poise,
grace and personality put her in the
front rank Of screen stars. Ward
Crane, as Norton Colburton, and
Harry Northrup. as Camden, make
an excellent team OF villains. Earn
est Butterworth, as the Kid, is
laugh provoker.
''The Luck Of the Irish" is a screen
play of merit and is surefre enter
tainer.

At the Strand.

Opinion will be divided as to the
merits and ranking of the latest Grif-
fifth picture, The Idol Dancer" now
being offered at the Strand. Griffith
Is known as the producer of the
worlds best movies and his present
production is certainly far better
than the average screen offering.
However, 1t Is not the best thing that
he has done.
1t seems to be a case where only
nine tenths Of perfect picture are
are present and yet one can not put
finger on the absent tenth which
would make the picture a master
piece. There are places in the film
which reach the heights of acting in
an emotional way, such as the scene
where the Beachcomber repents after
a life Of atheism Richard Barthlemess
in this scene. shows himself to be a
real star and lives up to his previous
high marks in Griffith pictures
Clarino Seymour can dance with
any Of them. She Is altogether be-
witching and seems to have part
which she could play we'll and enjoy
the playing Of 1t. Richard Barthle-
mess Is good as the Beachcomber and
Creighton Hale is excellent as the
missionary's nephew.
The picture concerns the love Of q
puritan youth and the Beachcomber
Tor a young French-Japanese girl
who lives on an island in the south
sea. The Beachcomber Is human
derelict and the mssionary's neph-
,ew is young man reared in the fear
Of God, who always has had secret
longing for a great adventure. He Is
Ill with tuberculosis and when a
pirate slave trader attacks the
settlement. his wish is fulfilled and
he dies happy

TURTLE DOVE.

It seems almost sacrilegious TO
find fault with her Ones Sunday
school lessons were so full of doves
messengers of peace Bearing olive
branches. acceptable burnt offerings
and symbols of purity. Your first val
entine had 'em on it, and your geo
graphy had a picture of the doves
Of st. Marks making a welcome
break in an arid desert of text.
But truth to tell. the dove. she is
known both as the mourning and
turtle dove. is rather silly bird,
a notoriously bad housekeeper, and
always laundering into trouble. The
only time a dove re1aXes its sober,
rot to say sad and weepy. demeanor
is occasionally in the mating season
when the male INDUCES in some cur
ious acrobatic flights. The only sign
of real sense I ever saw{a dove show
was when a mother bird pretended a
broken wing to lure cat from her
nest.
The males wooing is a heart
breaking noise, about as much like
love making as the Dead March"
but the pretty bluish-fa wn colored
mate likes 1t and Is so busy admir-
ing the cooer and the COO that she
almost forgets to set up housekeep-
ing. The nest is just few sticks or
weed stalks thrown carelessly toseth-
err. It's a lucky dove that finds an
abandoned robins nest to use for a
foundation; If she doesn't, the white
eggs show thru thin lattice, and
sometimes they drop thru. The baby
birds look very uncomfortable in
their crazy cradle. The nest is al
most invariably placed conspicuously
low in a bush or tree, and by prefer
ence in a cats favorite haunt.
