STIRS THE
 MOST CRITICAL CRITICS

The most critical critics from among local movie lovers who saw the first showing of "Heliotrope" at .'ox's last night are unstinting in their praise and do not hesitate to acclaim it not only one of the best of the best, but what is more. a picture that is decidedly different It will be shown through Wednesday evening in connection with Fantomas, a. Chester Outing Travelogue, Fox News and a Sunshine comedy. The vaudeville for the first three days has as its biggest attraction. Harry Mason, the famous Hebrew impersonator. in a three scene comedy sketch entitled Get ting the Money" The stage settings of this are original and worked into it with telling effect is a short movie reel showing Young Sullivan and Spike McGinnis (real pugilists) in ac- tion with Billy Roche as referee. The reel is used to portray one little epi- sode in the comedy. Other vaudeville numbers are Charles Deigham. sing CT and monologuist: Jean and Charles a male and female singing and danc- ing team. and Flannigan and Blake. two talking comedians whose line is said to be a good one.
 The plot of "Heliotrope" surprises even the most blase movie fan. Two distinct stories, each dependent upon the other but neither coming in ac- tual contact with the other all dur ing the picture. give added interest and the faint odor of heliotrope and all that it recalls in the mind of one of the leading characters gives added impulse to the picture.

SHOW IS
 OF FINE CALIBRE

Although the attendance was small and the affair anything but a sue cess financially, the benefit vaudeville and moving picture show presented by Private Walter T. Smith post of the Veterans Of Foreign Wars. at the Lyceum theater yesterday afternoon was one of the best ever produced in this city. Unforeseen obstacles caused the box office receipts to he considerably smaller than the serv- ice men anticipated would be the re- suit of their first attempt in theatri- calls. but the post has decided to hold another show within a few weeks and ii is expected that the production will be given better support. The affair was in charge of a veterans commit tee headed by Longe Saviski. vice commander of the post.
 Chief Tenderfoot headed the vau- deville. X full-blooded American In- dian. the performer is one of the most prominent performers of his race on the vaudeville stage today. and his act more than pleased the audience yesterday. He opened his number with vocal selection, followed by n monologue. The chief closed with a number of original and difficult trapeze stunts. Shepard and Ott, with a novelty singing, dancing and piano act followed. The male member of the team executed difficult dance steps with a polish; sang, played the piano and injected much comedy into the turn with clever repartee. The fe- male member is possessed of an ex cellent voice with an ability to put it across. Howland, Irwin and How land, female trio. sang ballad and novelty selections in a pleasing man ner. Tom Gillen entertained for half an hour telling of his friend Finne- gan and Finnegan's family. A parody on Moments was one of the big features of his act. Pippin and Pip pin, with a musical speciality. closed the bill with xylophone. violin and snare drum solos and duets.
