EXPECTS
BURLESQUE
TO GROW

Announced formation Of plans
for the coming season of Mutual
burlesque indicates a degree Of
optimism that discounts the
idea road show business is
trembling in the balance.
I. H. Herk, president and gen.
eraI manager Of the Mutual
organization, declares the sea-
son will open with so travelling
companies and an equal num-
ber of theaters, and that each
organization viii have a larger
personnel than in any previous
season. "Slumps do not last.
That's history. And we are pre-
pairing for a big season. If
not, 1t will be time to cross
that bridge when we come to it.
It will cost less to retrench
than to build"
That's the Herk idea and
forecasts many good things for
the popular Gayety Theater
during 1881.

shown high officials Of the Navy
Department under whose super
vision it was made by John Ford.
Seldom do these Uncle Sam
fighting men wax enthusiastic
over a picture but in the in
stance of the Ford production
no one alienation was suggested
and request was made to the
Fox Theater management that
upon his local showing that it
be shown to the other officials.
AS a result Of this request a
matinee performance is to be
given over to the crews of several
submarines in nearby waters
who will be especially ordered to

SONG OF WEST
IS OUTDOOR
DRAMA

"song Of the West" which is
now being shown at Warner
Bros. Metropolitan Theater, Is
q story Of covered wagon days.
from the beginning Of the trek
of a wagon train, accompanied
by q troop Of soldiers from
Fort independence, across the
Sierras with their snow-capped
peaks and great wilderness Of
space to California, the land Of
gold, of brawling mining camps,
of San Francisco, Of the Golden
Gate, in the days Of the Vigi-
lantes.
One marches along with these
pioneers and soldiers, lives with
them, watches the wagon-en-
circled fire die out against an
immensity Of stars. The theater
and screen seem to disappear.
the roar and hurry Of modern
mechanistic life vanish-one
lives in a romantic era Of the
past as vividly as II he were
there.
The picture appeals to q
sense of American life that goes
back to the very beginning,
because we are a race Of
pioneers, and something Of the
restleSsness of the westward
march is in us still.
The cast Of Song Of the
West" includes John Boles,
Vivienne Segal, Joe e. Brown,
Marie Wells. Sam Hardy, Marion
Byron, Eddie Gribbon, Ed Mar.
