Kleventh and Morrison streets, for an engsgement of five performances, com mencing with a special matinee C"' mas day. and a special matinee s-atur- 0lV seems almost superfluous to intro duce "The Pink Lady" at this time, for It has already received the local stamp of press and public approval, has run a Year in New York and has terminated the most a. nsatlonally successful en gagement ever known for a musical offering upon the American -"tage In Its original form "The Ptnk l.ady was a French farce, written by Ueorge Berr and Marcel Uuillemaud. and was made into an Knglish musical comedy by C. M. S. .McLellan. who provided the book and lyrics, and Ivan Caryll. who composed the music. The story revolves around the adventures of a gay young Parisian, who has been a most pro nounced rounder, and who is engaged to be married to a fair and Innocent voung lady. He excuses himself to her tinder the pretense that he is going to take luncheon with an old friend, to he a-ives the fictitious name of Dondldler. All this that he may have a farewell tete-a-tete wnn """5, the theater who is known as "The Pin Ladv." This little luncheon Is to take place at an out-of-the-way restaurant in the forest of Complegnc. Quite by acci dent his bride-to-be comes to the same restaurant at the same time as a mem ber of an automobile party and sur nri.. him there. Through the ready wit of the "Pink Lady" he Is extricated from his dilemma. "The Pink 1-ady" is rich in catchy and popular musical numbers. Among the more famous are "I'm C.oing to Be Married in June." "When Love Ooes Astraving." "The Girl by the saskaicne wan,"" "The Kiss Waltx." "Ionny Pid. rw.nnv ni.tn't" "Hide and Seek" and of course the one number which has been heard every place. i:ie wa.i iunk. 'Beautiful Lady." The comnany which Is brought by Messrs. Ftsher and Stevens Is one of the largest organixatlons traveling, and is made up of clever comedians, singers and dancers, not forgetting a gouuij array of chorus girls.

Featured in the cast Is Monsieur Alberta, who is ably sup ported by Mademoiselle Molliet, Made moiselle Guilds, Mademoiselle Franco and the bevy of dancing beauties. Mademoiselle Guilda is admittedly the most wonderful solo dancer in the world and her various Parisian creations will prove astounding. Some of the feature dances will be seen in the Bulgarian ballet, an. Egyp tian classic, the lover's tango, the La France ballet and other numbers of terpslchorean grace and delight. It Is seldom that two bannered acts appear on one bill, but sueti is the treat prepared by Alexander Pantages for his pairens as the Six Musical Spillers pre sent an attraction that is without peer. New melodies and novelties that at tiact are presented by this aggregation of talented mu.sic: stars. The Spll!ers recently came from the East, where they have met remarkable triumphs cn the principal circuits, and their appear, ance here will be a matter of much pleasure to those who love music. It Is a lively sketch that Cole. Rus sell and Davis present in "Waiters Wanted." Not a slow moment is to be met with in the production and the in cidental singing and dancing will please everyone. "A Modern flirtation" Is the title cf the production in Which Al H. Weston ano Irene Youne appear, their novoity sex.: hits and their unique dance dtov. Ing admirable entertainment.

Prince Floro. the man monkey that created a sensation at the old Empress last year, will be the extra attraction. Prince Floro returns with several new tricks and is dresse! to look more like a man than ever. The ape plays bil liards, rides a bicycle, smokes, eats with knife and rorK ana. an in an. provides startling entertainment. Prince Floro goes through all his tricks with out the slightest prompting, being on the stage alone for the entire act. i Arthur Geary. Tasmanian tenor. Is next. Geary scored great success as a lyric tenor in London and New York. He Is billed as "The Red Hussar." the costume worn by him In vaudeville be ing an exact reproduction of the uni form worn by the famous Tenth Hus sars of the British Army. Mary Dorr, wbo has - an enviable -a.sasssssss.sss -- --sT- V . I k ' f ' reputation as a mimic, is fourth on the poster. Miss Dorr is extremely versa tile and is at home in more than a dozen imitations. Her mimicry of a rube is considered a classic. A blackface act of merit and one which has earned greal -encomiums In Its trip along the Empress chain is that offered by Wilson and Rich. It differs from the usual blackface act. the come dians giving one the Impression that they are actual negroes who stepped down from the gallery to do" "a bit" on the stage. Les Trio Morandlni, two men and a woman, will complete the new show in an exhibition of bamboo-pole balanc ing. The woman goes through daring feats on the pole while it is held by the larger man.

FROM MARS' HERE Charles Hawtrey Appears In Fine ' Photoplay 'at Peoples Theater. "The Message From Mars," which opens today at the Peoples Theater, starring the eminent English actor. Charles Hawtry, Is unquestionably the combination of a famous play and a famous actor, and it can be seen at the Peoples Theater the entire week. A charming dramatic conceit, yet it most powerfully and forcefully teaches to mankind a salient lesson. The chief character is a man ' of intense selfishness, whose meanness is , seen By an inhabitant of Mars. A messenger from that planet is sent to eariu mi teach him that a man cannot live unto) himself alone. The messenger from Mars transplants him from rich and! comfortable circumstances to those of poverty, and makes htm to suiter as he had seen others suffer without feeling a throb of pity. Through his own experiences. In this changed condition, his entire na ture Is transformed. He becomes sym pathetic and there Is developed In him a regard for humanity which ennobles his whole nature. The production is a most appropriate one at this season of the year. The settings are splendid. The en tire production is distinctly a Famous Players' production, and worthy the Frohman standard. The Peoples is the only photoplay house In the city that secures a con stant and unfailing stream of famous plays enacted by famous stars of the dramatic world.
