There will he an extra matinee on Thursday. At the Alcazar the famous and al ways fascinating Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera, "The Mikado," the first of a series of old-time operas, is to be given this week. The opening of the new bill Is t'mtrrow night. A noteworthy vocalist, Marie Horgan, Is coming from Los Angeles to appear in the role of Katisha, of the well known elbow.

Ernest Ball and Maud Lambert are to top the new bill at the Orpheum opening this afternoon. This is wel come news, inasmuch as be is one of the music makers who not only writes the songs he sings, but sings them and plays his own accompaniments nicely as well. He wrote "Mother Machree," "Love Me and the World Is Mine," "Till the Sands of the Desert Grow Cold," "A Little Bit of Heaven," "In the Garden of My Heart" and cozens more. At the Lyric Dillon and Franks are to open this afternoon In "Money to Burn." Diversity predominates on the in coming programme at Pantages for the week opening with tomorrow's matinee.

CORT PRODUCTION AT HEILIG Flo-Flo Has Handsomely Gowned Chorus, Each a Perfect 3 6. I A musical delight In which laugh ter, melody and romance gallop through a story of delicious charm and waft away a night as if by magic fts John Cort's sensational success en titled "Flo-Flo." which will be the Thanksgiving attraction at the Heilig next Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights, November 7, 28 and 29, be ginning with a special Thursday mat inee anJ with a matinee Saturday. "Flo-Flo" is one of the most hand somely gowned productions ever seen on a New York stage, the wares of Mosher and Simpson, exhibited in their bride shop, where the scenes of the story are laid, having been se lected from the most exclusive shops in New York ana -r-ans. Every member of the chorus Is a "perfect 36" and eac'- Is blessed with , that rare attribute of the chorus cirl a eense of humor. In fact, "Flo- Flo" has brought down the house at very performance with its comedy chorus. But this la not the only bright fea I f 4 t 4 f 1 i -v.. i I f til, s I- I celebrated composer is piano accom panist In an act that Is one of the high lights of the season. The Lambert-Ball show will be oa the boards at the Heilig for only three nights and four matinees, closing with the matinee next Wednesday. Mr. Ball is the author of "Mother Machree." "Till the Sands of the Desert Grow Cold." "A Little Bit of Heaven Called Ireland," "Dear Little Boy of Mine," and numerous other that are among the best sellers. He is one of the most popular Orpheum headliners, and he accepts a big-time vaudeville contract every alternate season. In his former tour he dis played talent for comedy, and his present offering with Miss Lambert is punctuated" with laughs. Mr. Ball has a medley formed of ths most pop ular or his compositions, and as a rule he has new songs which he sings for the first time for his Orpheum audi ences. The extra added attraction of the rew show is "Indoor Sports," a com edy written by Harlan Thompson and Hugh Herbert and staged by William B. Friedlander. This act sparkles with fun, and it Is registering a hit every where. It has to do with the ways ture of the performance. Funnier even than Charlie Chaplin's funny feet are the trick hats of Pinky and Aloysius, two yeung men of nimble feet and agile headgear, who aid materially la untying the tangled romance of Billj Cope and Angelina Stokes, as also dc Mosher and Simpson with their com dy dialogue, songs and dancing. The personnel of the. cast provided by Mr. Cort include among others Miss Rhoda Nickells, Jack Norton, Barney Ward, Billy Collins, Paula Temple, Lila Blow, Harry Cowley, Estelle Maxon and tne "perfect 36" chorus, together with an augmented orchestra. HARRY LAUDER. COMIXG Scotch Comedian to Be at Heilig Theater on December 3. Harry Lauder, the Scotch comedian, full of pep, and bubbling over with that inimitable something that makes Imitations of his work so futile, has returned from a memorable tour of Australia, and will appear at the Hei lig theater Wednesday, December 3. afternoon and night. It was dur ing his sojourn in Australia that the Scotch minstrel was knighted as Sir Henry Lauder. Sir Harry, as. presumably, we must now call mm, la more than an enter tainer. He is an International char acter, and as an after-dinner speaker he did much to cement the feeling of brotherhood existing between the English-speaking nations during the world war and since. In the last months of the great struggle he went up and down the lines in France and Belgium entertaining and cheering the soldiers, and it was because of thiB "service for the empire" that he received the accolade of knight at the hands of King George. FARCE COMIXG TO HEILIG "Up in Mabel's Room" Is to Be Shown Here December 4-6. "Up in Mabel's Room," the farce which kept all New York laughing for months last season, will be presented at the Heilig theater December 4, 6 and 6 under the direction of A. H. Woods. The play has been described as a frivolous farce of feminine foi bles and is the work of Wilson Col lison and Otto Ha r bach. It is In three acts and the scenes are laid in a country home on Long Island. The (tory of the play deals with the farcical adventures of Garry Ains worth, a young benedict, who is con fronted on his honeymoon with the evidence of an old indiscretion. The evidence in this case is a pink chem ise, which he has unwittingly given to a beautiful and charming widow of whom he had been .fond in his bachelor days. The chemise was un fortunately inscribed "Mabel, from Garry," and the slightly jealous and exceedingly mischievous Mabel threat ened to show it to Garry's wife. Garry -pleaded, coaxed and cajoled in an effort to get the chemise back. and finally decided to steal It- More difficulties arose than he dreamed of, and in the course of his adventures he found himself in situation after situation. How the fateful chemise finally was captured and Garry's troubles orougnt to an end cannot be divulged without detracting from the interest of the play. "Up In Mabel's Room' is as full of fun as any farce in re cent years. ORPHEOl HAS SrCSICAL STAR Ernest R. Ball and Maude Lambert Present Headline Act, Ernest R.
