Only a short trip is required of the
t~heatre-goers of this city to get a
realistic view of the latest creations
IN bathing costumes and salt water
nvmphs. It does not require a jour-
new to the Atlantic Ocean to coon
plish this feat, for in the Bathing
Beauties" at the Majestic theatre
Wednesday there will be any num-
Der of the very latest creations in
women,s seaside wearing apparel,
adjoining the symetrical figures of a
host of youthful and sprightly dane
ing nymphs.
And there will be a company of
clever principals, gaily cavorting
with the ensembles who are declared
To be one of the sprightiest aggre-
cations of burlesque entertainers
this city has seen in many moons.
The list is headed by Jack Hunt and
Clyde Bates, two of the funniest de-
lineators of tramp characters on the
stage. Charles Mason as straight
man. proves an excellent foil for
these two funny fellows: Alice Law
Tor. the s%oubrette of the show is at
once good looking and a poppy
worker; Winnie Phillips. the ingenue
is an attractive young lady who is
also clever; Katherine Adolph. the
prima donna is blessed with a pleas
ing appearance and voice;
Strand Attraction
There Is much hat is unique and
thrilling about the latest Paramount
Cosmopolitan production, 1.-THE Go
Getter," which was shown with great
success at the Strand theatre last
evening. 7. Roy Barnes, in the lead
ing role of Bill Peck, a war vet
working for the Kicks lumber COM
pany, has a hard time getting re-
established after his discharge from
the army, but "the only girl in the
world" arrives in time to see that
her father takes care of him. Natur-
ally Bill falls in love with Mary
(Seena Owen) at first sight, and
what PAGES he doesn't go through to
satisfy her father that he is worthy
of her aren't worth mentioning.
The original story. by Peter B.
Kyne, is especially suited for the
screen, and in writing the scenario
John Lynch has brought out to per-
lection all of its fine points. Along
with Mr.. Barnes and Miss Owen,
William Norris, Tom Lewis and
Louis Wolheim are featured players.
At the Ditmas
One of the most beautiful love
stories ever pictured on the screen
is enacted in 1.-THE Spider and the
Rose" a B. F. Zeidman Production
which opened an engagement at the
Ditmas theatre last night. Love in
the land of the ~Senoritas, flashing
swords and Castanets, is brought oul
in all its fiery passion by Director
John McDermott. Alice Lake and
CASTOR Glass are the principal play
ers in THE Spider and the Rose"
ard they both do the best work OF
their areerS
It remained for Mr.. MeDermott I
to give the waiting public a picture
of mission life in California cor
rect in every detail. One of the
greatest faults of the movies lies
in it's failure to stick II correct at
mospheric detail and it is in this
that Mr.. McDermott excels. tine
Spider and the Rose" as the title
implies concerns the activities of a
villainous usurper to gain h hand
Of Alice Lake as Paula. Paula loves

ever so much hat she fears for his
safety in attending a meeting of
patriots who plan to rid the u
try of the usurper Mendoza ca
pably played by Robert McKim.
She puts her faith in Mendoza in
a message t his father the ruler
Of California. The message never
reaches the Governor but is used
for the selfish motives of Mendoza
who seizes the patriots and has
them failed.
