Davis Theatre.

Frank Keenan essays a role entirely new to him in "Snoidering Embers," |" the Pathe feature showing at the Davis theatre today. He is a knight of the road-a va bond; a man with out home or friends; without aim or arhition or purse. It is a part full of difficulties because of it's very sim plicity. Frank Keenan gives 1t real ism, dignity and a humor touch that makes you love the heart qualities of the man in tatters. At the risk of be- ing accused of using superlatives. we calle it perfect-every expression, ges- tura and mannerism rings true to life.
 The story glorifies father love. Keen is a tramp who learns that the son he has not seen since baby hood is bout to be deprived of his heritage by his stepfa ther. When the vagabond enters the scene he doesn't do thing but upset their little scheme. Particularly appealing are the scenes between the yagabond father and his son, splendidly enacted by Jay Be'asco. Without disclosing his ide7tity, the tramp becomes the boys shadow. He learns his habits, -reets the girl the boy loves ad saves the vagabond exists happy in the knowledge that his son is happy and thinks of his father (whom he believes died helping sick man through the Chilkoot Pass) as a regular fellow"
 Kate Corhaley wrote the story Frank Keenan. assisted by Elliot Howe directed it. The cast is 8 snlend'd one. incl'1di1g Kate Var Buren, Hardte Kirkland Tho~as Guise Russ Powell. Graham Petite Burwick Hamrirk. Lucille Ward and Fra ances Raymond.

The Strands programme for Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday is of all unusual sort. They are featuring ''Shee', the female Houdini "Shee" is a lady of nat on-wide reputation. As an escape artist she has no su- perior. She makes all her several different escapes in full view of the audience, working with a speed, skill and ease seldom found in acts of this nature. As her work is done with such seeming ease the dread centers in witnessing the escape from the regulation strait jacket as escape is made while "Shee" is suspended ten feet in mid-air above the stage in one of the most daring sensational feats in vaudeville. "Shee" introduced this spectacular feat while hanging head down from the lofty Times building in New York and it was proclaimed by the press of that city the most daring stunt ever performed by a wo- man. "Shee" not only introduces the sensational strait jacket feat but has several difficult ,o1trivances defying all laws of IT.
