At the Grand.

A full week of fun is on the bill
starting Monday when Max Linder's
six-reel comedy classic will start
three-day engagement. Max is one of
the veterans in screen comedy, the
little Frenchman having entered the
laugh game even prior to Charlie
Chaplin. He was the first to drop the
slap-stick. pie throwing stuff and
start manufacturing mirth that sticks
to the ribs and yet does not irritate.
He has produced some of the biggest
farce comedies the screen has repro
duced and Seven Years Bad Luck"
is the best of his efforts along this
line. 1t took Under over a year to get
the plot and action to suit him and he
is a connoisseur in the matter of
comedy.
Seven Years Bad Luck" is just
filled with ridiculous situations from
start to finish. You all Know the re-
suit of breaking a mirror-well that is
the jinx Under puts on himself right

Be TWO new ARTISTS
Program at Holland Music Series for
Coming Winter Is Heavy One.

Coming Winter Is Heavy One.
The Holland series of concerts for
the coming season is evoking much
interest among the musical people of
Topeka Two new artists to be intro
duced and presented on this series are
Alberto Salvi, the worlds greatest
harpist, as the opening number, and
Vasa Prihoda, the great Bohemian
violinist, as the closing number.
Alberto Salvi has reYolutionized harp
playing, on a harp of special make
which is considered to be the largest
and coStliest one ever made, he gets
effects that have heretofore been con-
sidered impossible. A New York critic
remarked that what Bach was to the
organ, what Paganini was to the vio-
lin, Salvi is to the harp" Another
title bestowed on him is the wizard
of the harp" but the title that most
nearly fits him is the worlds greatest
harpist."
Vasa Prihoda, the great Bohemian
viOlinist, comes to this country under
the auspices of Arturo Toscanini, who
really is more or less responsible for
Prihoda's career. 1t was he who rec
oSnized genius in the boy and helped
HIM in Milan, Italy. After Toscanini
heard Prihoda play he remarked IF
Paganini played as well, certainly he
could not have played any better"
Other numbers on the Holland
series include Arthur Middleton, bari
tone of the Metropolitan opera; Anna
Case, soprano; the Zoellner String
quartet, and a return engagement of
Nellie and Sara Kouns.

Mary Pickf0rd's first photograph
in a bathing suit.

Can it be that little Mary is going
to help Mack Sonnet out since he has
lost so many of his famous bathing
beauties? There must be some mys-
ferrous reason for her donning a bath
ing suit. What? She is merely ready
for a swim in her own private tank
on the "Pickfair" estate
No wonder 1 never thought of that.
Who ever heard of a motion picture
actress putting on a bathing suit for
a swim. Mary always was different,
however. and one would expect her to
do the unusual. This is the first time
Mary Pickford Fairbanks ever had her
picture taken in a bathing suit. How's
that for a record in these days since
Mack Sonnet doomed the bathing suit
business.
Mary's suit is one of the very Ju-
venile looking little ginghams which
are the vogue now.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1921-08-27

at the start Why he breaks the mir
ror is a scream. Why his fiancee gives
him the cold paw is a ream. He
takes trip to lose the ink and that
is a scream. All the things that hap
pen to him from the time he breaks
that bit of glass until he finds him
self again in his sweetheart's arms are
screams. Seeing is believing and see
ing means laughing.
With six reels of Max Under there
is comedy enough in the bill for the
first three days so, instead and in ad-
dition to the news reel, there will be
shown one of the, most interesting bits
of history ever done in film. 1t is
PLAY Ball." a semi educational, show
ing all the past history of the great
American game.
For the last half of the week a
comedy of a different type will be
shown. This is the screen dramatized
story by Mary Roberts Rinehart that
was in the Saturday Evening Post not
long ago under the title. 1.-THE Empire
Builders" 1t comes here under the
title of ITS a Great Life" 1t carries
out the "sub-deb" idea in a boys life.
No lover of youth and its dreams can
help but like this.

quickly as in real life.
"Conceit." as a film title, may have
been inspired by the great amount of
praise producers give to their own
pictures.
Despite the old adage no action on
the screen can speak louder than
words the title-readers struggle with.

with those who negotiate cargoes of
something other than onions from
