t for a run of six days This is reputed
ito be the greatest picture of the dec
lade. Replete with interesting charac-
+ terizations and situations. the story
gave Mr.. Skinner his greatest starring
vehicle on the legitimate stage and the
screen version is even better.
! The story of .Kismet" placed in the
historic old city of Bagdad, calls for
! settings of unusual magnitude and
/ picturesqueness. While Robertson-Cole
kdid not shoot any of the scenes in
| Ba gdad, the particular locations of the
city used in the perturbation of the
story, were literally transplanted to
Hollywood, Cal.e The expense incurred
| in presenting perfection of detail was
enormous. but nothing was stinted,
with the result that the audience goes
hand in hand with Mr.. Skinner thru
a real live Turkish atmosphere.
! 1t is almost impossible to paint with
words a picture of the beauty and ar
tistry of this setting, which in pro-
duction of unique splendor stands out
as the supreme achievement. 1t IS
dazzling in its coloring, bizarre in
! design, and awe-inspiring in its'vast-
ness.
The most wonderful play in
! America. "Experience." by George v.
Hobart. will be presented by F. Ray
Comstoc'< and Morris Gest at the
! Grand opera house Thursday. Febrd-
| ary 10.
| This will be the seventh season of
"Experie1ce," and the play bids fair
! to be more successful this year than
ever before, because it seems, that no
| matter where Experience" goes, this
remarkable modern morality play
always attracts capacity audiences,
| The clergymen of every big city
! from Maine to California have pro-
nounced Experience" one of the most
wonderful lessons of right living ever
presented to the eyes of youth.
/ 1t is the story of the trials and
tenn mptations that beset youth on every
hand, and it is presented by re-
markable cast amid surround -nss of
! great scenic beauty. There are ten
scenes in the production, and the cast
/ is an exceptionally strong one.
At the Orpheum.
| William S. Hart, widely known as
Big Bib" is an author as well as
an actor as he proves in his latest
/ Paramount picture. 'The Testing
| Block" a story of the California gold
! fever days, which will be shown at the
| Orpheum theater the first three days
OF next week. 1t was adapted and di-
rected by Lambert Hillyer.

presenting a new sketch called THE
Wife Saver" and when we say new
sketch" we mean it in every sense the
word new implies. New ideas. new
plot and new story in conjunction with
q perfectly natural and lifelike pre-
sentation are the outstanding features
of this up-to-the-minute comedy from
the pens of Frank McGettigan and
Franklyn Ardell. two we'll known and
highly successful writers or vaudeville
sketches.
Thomas Potter Dunn, a singing
comedian, with a good reputation and
a fine line of song and patter, will
take up the fourth spot on this bill.
Closing the show We have big special
feature, Pauline's Leopards, a sensa-
tional jungle act which has appeared
with practically all tie big circus and
hippodromes in the Ian sest cities in the
world is one of the great performing
big cat acts which is now appearing
before the public. Nine. Pauline's con-
troll over the big beasts is wonderful.

The new show which is sponsored
by Gus Hill, who was first to see the
possibilities of the comics on the stage,
can boast of an entirely capable COM
pany of players. singers. dancers,
farceurs, vaudevillians who are well
versed and equipped in the art of mod
ern entertainment.
Jiggs Mahoney and his termag giant
wife, Maggie, who tries to keep him
from making a fool of himself and
squandering5 his fortune, will be as
conspicuous as eyer. If you have en-
joyed these famous and Iovable char
acters in the confines of your favorite

more than passing joy in this rollick-
ing concotion of mirth, melody and
song.

HOW TO BEHAVE
AT THE MOVIES
BY kI.
BY kI.

If the pictures are SO good that you
can't find fault say mean things about
the music and if the music is all right
roast the seats or the ventilation. Re-
member if you look sharply you can
always find something to kick about
When you arrive early sit squarely
in your seat until the show has been
repeated several times. You are en-
titled to twice or thrice what you paid
for and the managers are rich anyway
If you see a friend sixteen seats
away from you wait until the exciting
part of the picture comes along and
then stand up and shout your greet
ing. The other spectators will be glad
to know you have a few friends.
Always make it a point to tell how
much better the other theaters in town
are and don't fail to key your voice so
that it carries far. The mana cement
will hear of it eventually and it may
teach them a thing or two.
Announce whenever you get a
chance that you think motion pictures
are only fit for common people and
low brows and that you only see them
to laugh at their defects. This will
prove your superiority.
