Daphne Pollard

TINY Daphne Pollard. the quaint
est and most talked-of little
Coincidence Of the London stage.
will make her American debut at
B. r. Keith's Theater tomorrow
commencing at the matinee. Miss
Pollard comes direct from the Lon
don Hippodrome where for years
she has reigned supreme as the
principal comedienne. She comes to
this country on a six weeks vaca-
ton in response to a large induce
ment from the Keith management
that she devote part Of 1t to showing
the Keith public her inimitable
laugh-making methods.
Just now she Is at the height Of
her fame which has become inter-
national in scope, the English press
contending that she is the greatest
revue Coincidence in all Europe. In
deed It Is asserted that her fame is
unique in every respect-for within
a few seasons her irresistible quirks
and antics, rollicking songs and rare
acting genius have brought all the
foreign capitals to her feet, with
. America to follow suit. II seems GER
tain. At any rate she has risen to
rank among the worlds half dozen
greatest Coincidence stars.
Happily for her presentation here
Miss Pollard has chosen her great
est hits from the recent London
Hippodrome revues, adding several
song studies and characterization
drawn from other sources. Finally.
to show the different descriptions
that have been given, II suffices to
say that one critic called her THE
vital spark of the Hippodrome," an
other the little Miss Madcap of
revues," and a third "the tiny star
with the dazzling smiles"
The extra added attraction Will
be 1.-THE Man Who Has Written
1000 Melodies" Anatol Friedland &
Co. in a de luxe revue of mirth,
melody and dance. entitled Music
land" his former title but now with
entirely fresh material.
Others lending light and laughter
to the bill will be Harriet Marlotte
& Co. In Mrs. Wellington's Sur
prise;" Dave Seed and Ralph Austin
in Things and Stuff" Kellam and
O'Dare in Chasing the Blues"
Russell and Dewitt the acromedians;
the Juggling McBans in a novelty;
Sherwin Kelly, the singing cyclist;
Aesop's Fables; Topics of the Day;
the Pathe News Pictorial and the
usual house additions.
Today at 3 and Sis p. m. at
Keith's last weeks program, headed
by the Santos and Hayes Revue, will
be given In its entirety.

All Shubert Acts
Travel as Company
? HEN the Belasco Theater

"T HEN tne beiaSco ihed'or
" opens it's doors next month
W for the initial performances
of Shubert vaudeville. II will mark
an innovation in the two-a day type
of entertainment from the fact that
the. acts making up the full show
will travel as distinct company.
The value of such a policy,
apart from the travelling expense
saved to the performers. lies in the
fact that a smooth running per-
Torrance is assured through the
acts working each week in the
same running order. through the
friendly relations established by
seasons association and the elimi-
nation Of all orchestra difficulties
by a travelling musical director
thoroughly familiar with all cues
and business of the yaudevillians.
In the course Of the season at the
Belasco, Washington theatergoers
will witness 166 acts culled from the
finest European musical halls ana
theaters who will display their tai
ents before American audiences Tor
the first time. The contracturaI
obligations assumed by the Shu-
berts to bring these performers to
the United States approximates
over 100000.
Established favorites In the musi-
cal comedy world will have promi-
nent places on all of the Shubert
bills. In addition to giving their
regular act on the bill, the enter
tainers will take part In a short
after-piece closing the performance
which will have all the attributes
OF a top notch revue and furnish
the setting for some impromptu
comedy of a high order.
The Belasco will boast the finest
lighted stage of the show world
when changes now under way are
completed. There will be 226 bulbs
in the footlight stud instead OF the
seventy five which have served in
the past and the back stage illum-
ination will comprise some Of latest
innovations evolved for novel and
artistic effects. The front Of the
house will have a thirty-foot illum-
mated sign suspended over new
marquise to be erected at a cost OF
$4,000.
For the coming season the In
terror of the theater will be en-
tirely redecorated from pit to dome
with new hanging, carpets, drop
curtains and the incidental requi-
sites which make for the comfort of
patrons. These changes are now
being installed under the direction
of the house staff and Ira J. La
! Motto, the new manager.

1T Of KEIYHJO e

TONIGHT at Polls Theater. the
l. first presentation in Washing
ton of Vicente Blasco Ibanez's re-
nowned story, THE Four Horse
men OF he Apocalypse" will start
promptly at SI5.
1.-THE Four sHorsemen Of the
Apocalypse" was made for Metro
at a cost exceeding one million
dollars. 1t has broken every record
ever made in New York, Chicago,
Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
Detroit, and Los Angeles, and
marks a new epoch In the develop
ment of motion pictures. At its
New York opening people paid $40
. a seat. Critics said the picture
has definitely established the
screen, not only as capable Of rival
ing the stage at it's best, but of sur
passing 1t in Its grip upon the
emotions.
THE Four Horsemen" Ia the SUI
preme expression of the great war.
Certainly no novel has stirred the
universal appeal created by the
IbaneZ masterpiece. The book, now
in its one hundred and sixty-sev-
enth edition, has been read
throughout the world. The monu-
mental task of transferring 1t to
the screen was accomplished by
June Mathis, who made a scenario
that from all accounts has pre-
served the force of the original
and In many incidents heightened
1t. But 1t is the director, Rex In
gram, who has apparently achieved
the most sensational success. He
is reported to have set new
mark in artistry of perturbation.
Through 1t all are galloping the
four horsemen, spoken of by st.
John in the book of the Apocalypse
the grim figures of Conquest,
War, Famine, and Death.
The cast includes Rudolph Valen-
tino. Alice Terry, Pomeroy Cannon,
Joseph Swickard. Brinsley Shaw,
