At the Novelty.

It is a difficult task to find some
thing new for the vaudeville stage, but
the bill for the first half of the coming
week contains one act that gives it
patrons specially like. It is entitled
dreams" and while it's basic idea is
similar in one or two respects to the
living model or living picture idea
that has often been shown here, An
drew Lyon has made this act an inn
provement on both in every respect.
He calls it "a Study in Grace and
Beauty"
In addition to the fourteenth cpl
sode of Hurricane Hutch" there are
four other acts of well balanced
vaudeville offered. Frank and Clara
La Tour open with what they call
funny capers and bubbling novelties.
Pat and Peggy Houlton offer a skit
entitled "a Summer Filtration" AMI

been filmed and we are able to see the
characters live ard do things before
our eyes. Alice Calhoun, the capti-
waiting little star of many big produc-
tons, i'll the role of Babbie, the gypsy
girl, gives to the screen a portrayal
that will not be forgotten.
In filming "The Little Minister" the
story was closely adhered to. The at
mosphere of the Scotch hamlet
Thrums. has been maintained. The
thateh roofs the plain little church,
the red coats of the soldiers, the clean
dress of the Scotch, and the many
other little touches which go to make
this production one that will long be
remembered.
THE Little Minister" with all its
simplicity, is not without big scenes.
The wedding III the gypsy camp, the
| rain storm and the river scene are all
massive and thrilling. Then there IS
the scene where Lady Babbie matches
her wits against the little minister
when the soldiers are making a raid
upon the town. This, coupled with
the church scenes, adds to the spec
tacular value of this remarkable
story.
THE Little Minister" will be shown
at the Isis all next week.
