HAWA||ANs COMING
TO THE AMERICAN
Manager Oastler Has Troupe of Five
Booked for Appearance with
Big Picture, "The Storm"
Next Tuesday Night

ager Harry Oastler to break his re-
cent attendance record is a big
double bill to be presented next
Tuesday evening, March 20, when
Miss Lucy Paka, an Hawaiian, and
her company of musical artists, will
entertain on the same bill with
House Peters in "The Storm" Miss
Paka's company consists of two
women and three men, giving mirth
and melody from ragtime to grand
opera, holding the boards for a
full thirty minutes. "The Storm"
originally booked as a red-letter
feature picture to be shown at
advanced prices, is of the specta-
cular sort, including storm scenes,
forest fires, real snow avalanche
and whirlwind action of all sorts.
With the musical act on the same
bill Manager Oastler is confident
that he has bill that will be
winner with the show-going public,
worthy of drawing a capacity house
that will equal or exceed the record
recently established with "The Third
Alarm"
Showing New Pictures
In line with the managers eff
forts to show pulling pictures here
it is interesting to note that "The
Third Alarm" recently shown here,
is booked in Reno for the coming
week, while another beat that he
has scored is in the fact the Jackie
Coogan in "Oliver Twist" shown
here a month ago, is just being
shown in Nevada's metropolis, prov
ing that the larger cities have no
monopoly upon the ability to show
pictures first.
Another interesting development
of motion pictures is "The Mirror"
which will be shown with Wally
Ried in "The Dictator" next Mon
day evening. This tissue" of "The
Mirror" will show the Inauguration
of President Mckinley in 1897, and
among other things will refresh
memory concerning developments of
the now big industries as they were
many years ago.

Alice Calhoun's picture, Little
Wildcat" which will be shown on
Friday is said by those who have
seen it to be quite the best thing
Miss Calhoun has done. The uni
que plot gave the young artist the
opportunity to display her ability
and versatility.
The story is rich in human inter-
est and has not sacrificed plausi-
bility in the effort for sensational
action. A wealthy club man scien-
tifcally inclined decides upon
practical experiment in support of
his theory that there is a divine
spark in all womanhood no matter
what the environment that needs
only the chance for expression. On
the spur of the moment and fired
by a heated argument with his
friend, the cynical Judge Arnold, he
selects Mag O. the Alley" to prove
his point. Poor little pawn of
fate, the offspring of crime and
squalor, Mag seems a HOPELESS sub
ject.
How such a character is carefully
remolded and energies a complete
justification of her benefactor's
theory has furnished the director
with quite an order, which, accord
ing to critics, he has fulfilled.
What Wild Says
1t isn't likely that "The Silent
Vow," which is the feature for
Saturday, has ever been outdone, in
the way of action, in the numerous
stories of the Northwest Mounted
Police that have preceded it. 1t
starts out with action, keeps it up
all the way through, and ends the
same way, so that lovers of excite
ment will get more than their share
in William Duncan's latest. He
keeps himself, his supporting and,
above all, the cameraman, on the
jump from start to finish.
For those who like plenty of
action, "The Silent Vow" can't be
beat. 1t is a series Of fights, ~es-
capes, captures and gun-play with
a very slight romantic twist at the
close.
A Wally Reid Picture
The big battle is on for Monday
night! Wallace Reid, Paramount
star, supported by Lila Lee, leading
woman; Theodore Kosloff, Walter
Long, Alan Hale, Kella Pasha and
other screen notables, is giving the
