/. The opening bill for the Tip Top Re-
vue is entitled "Phunn Inn" and is said
to live up to its name. All the advance
notices agree that this is undoubtedly
the funniest musical comedy of the sea-
son. Large quantity of beautiful seem
cry is carried along with the act. In
several cities in which the revue has
appeared it has been obliged to play re-
turn dates through tbs great popularity
and, it would not be at all surprising
if the same situation should occur in
New Haven.
Among the other acts that are in
cluded in the bill with the big revue are
Tojetti and Bennett, dancing couple
who stand supreme in their class, and
johnson and Parsons, two screamingly
funny blackface comedians.
The picture program for the first
three days of the week is an especially
big one and is headed by the big Ralph
Ince production Out of the Shows"
In this picture Mr.. Ince plays the star
part, and he also directed the picture.
As a result "Out of the Shows" is said
to be one of the best pictures of the
screen.
The story is one that is unconven-
tional even if the setting of the Cam
adam Northwest is more or less fanil-
lar to patrons of the photoplay. The
plot, in brief, tells of the love of young
H6lliday-of the Royal Mounted Po-
'lice-for Ruth Hardy. just at the mo-
ment of their greatest happiness cloud
appears on the horizon in the form of
Brakeman, fur trader He tells Ruth
that Holiday had killed her father.
why.
Bob turns to his work to find relief
Brakeman crosses the path of the law,
and this results in some blood stirring
scenes in which the best man wins, and
the truth is uncovered.
Vivid contrasts are shown in this pic
ture, with scenes from the vast snow
covered wastes alternating with those
of elaborate modern interior settings.
Beautiful photoplay, excellent techni-
cal work in every department and cap
able acting combined with intelligent
directing make "Out of the Shows"
photoplay of distinction
Along with this big feature several
other attractive features are shown in
Guiding the latest episode of that STIR
ring serial The Vanishing Dagger"
starring Eddie Polo; Screen Snapshots
showing screen celebrities in unconven-
tional moments, a laughable comedy,
dIAd Tic latest dEIIG NEWS. All that
considered it certainly is some bill.
The Orth and Coleman revue will re-
main at the Bijou for the last half of
the week with an entirely new bill,
which is said to be even better than
Plum Inn" if that is possible Other
star acts will be shown in conjunction
with tthe revue.
The feature picture for the last half
of the week is "The Wonderful
Chance" starring that ever popular star
Eugene O'Brien In this picture Mr..
O'Brien appears as crook, and his
characterization of "Swagger Barlow"
may be ranked among the best of his
many splendid screen portrayals.
II. H. Van Loans story of the man
who tried to go straight, but is prac-
tically forced down the crooked lane"
furnishes the spectator with most un-
usual and interesting photoplay.
There is action galore and the scenic
investiture of the production runs all
the way from the East Side dives to
Long Island country homes, and all are
true to their respective localities. Mr..
O'Brien is supported by most capable
cast headed by that famous stage beauty
Martha Mansfield

a selected program of comedies and
news reels will be shown.
