-T Is only for Idle hands and Idle
minds that the ruler of the lower
regions finds work io do. Those of
us whose minds are taken up by
amusement or sport when they have
a moment free from business cares
may be considered as fairly safe.
Whether the call for relaxation and
rest be the theater or the circus, the
baseball field or the race course, the
dance at home or abroad, or the card
.table at home or abroad, tennis court
or golf course. It is a call that should
be recognized and answered. Our mod
ern living, keeping us keyed up to the
top-notch point by the exacting de
mands 01 proiessionai ana Business
callings, makes It absolutely impera
tive that both men and women alike
seek relaxation and rest. It Isn't a
matter of choice, it is merely an es
sential toward the physical fitness
which is, after all, a part of the
worker's stock in trade.
Opportunities to relax and rest are
promised in the week of musical revue
opening at the Heilig this afternoon.
The well-known moving-picture co
median, Chester Conklin, heading a
company of vaudevillians, plus a jazz
band and a bevy of pretty coryphees,
Is to present his musical revue every
afternoon at 2:15 and every night at
8:15 all week. Immediately following
this revue come more excitement in
the form of the famous Georgia min
strels, one of the Rusco-Hockwald
productions, and they will stay for
just two performances Sunday after
noon, August 8, and Sunday night of
the same date.
Then on August 15 a Charlotte
Greenwood show arrives, with the
lengthy comedienne starring in "Lin
ger Longer Letty," quite different
from her former production "So Long
Letty." Oliver Morosco is sending the
piece, which is to be here the week
of August 15.
Summer vaudeville generally de
clines, but apparently it is not so with
the offerings that Alexander Pantages
presents. He seeks the best on Broad
way and brings it west during the
quiet season. His programme for the
week commencing with tomorrow's
matinee bears this out. Featured is
the delight of childhood Gautier's
Toy Shop a collection of clever po
nies, dogs and monkeys in a routine
without peer, with a support of fea
ture acts.

Fred Weber and his own company

pleasing.
The Mizuma, Japanese, offer amaz

Louise Gilbert entertains with
songs and her smile. Miss Gilbert is
heard in Mme. Melba's song creation,
"Our Love in Springtime," which is
sung by Miss Gilbert by special per

a distinct creation in "A Study in

bit of everything.

NEWS OF THE MOVIE THEATERS
(Ctmtimied From Paga 2f.)
Beranger adapted thte story from the
original and John S. Robertson directed.
'LOVE'S HARVEST" IS AT STAR
Olnema Comedian Brings Full Com
pany of Bathing Girls.
The Hetlig theater has secured
Chester Conklin, well-known moving
picture comedian. He and his com
pany will appear at the above theater
for one week, beginning this afternoon.
The comedian is touring the Pacific
coast with his own company of bath
ing girls, a Jazx orchestra and Art
Penney. Conklin has been trying for
three years to meet the picture fans,
but up to the present time this has
been impossible. Recently he fin
lshed his contract with the Fox studio
and, is making his present tour be
fore signing another.
Conklin is well known to every pic
ture fan in the country as the "little
man with the big moustache." His
"walrus" character has been seen by
every movie fan in the country. His
comical antics of the screen have
been transferred to the stage and
have lost none of their humor in the
transition. In fact, he has more op
portunity to display his talents on
the stage than he had on the screen.
Art Penney is chief in Chester's
support. - For a long time prior to his
trip to France he was a headliner on
the Orpheirra vaudeville circuit. His
voice is considered a good one, and
the sontrs he uses are the kind that
never grow old.
The beauty chorus is composed of
girls especially selected by Conklin.
The songs and dances they offer were
arranged especially for them.
The Jazs band is a big feature in
Itself. They are all members of
Conklin's studio family.
After each performance Conklin
Will hold a reception for the public
AXIAIAIj ACTORS AT PANTAGES
Gautier's Toy Shop Will Prove De
light to Children.
Toung America will delight In the
offering at Pantages for the week
commencing with tomorrow's mati
nee, for it is none other than Gau
tier's toy shop, in which a host of tiny
ponies, dogs and monkeys play lead
ing parts. Created in Paris, the toy
chop has become one of the greatest
favorites In vaudeville. The dlmu
tive ponies are seen in a routine that
is amazing, while canine and simian
performers never leave a comedy op
portunity vacant. Manager Johnson
announces that for the special bene
fit of the youngsters a children's
matinee will be held Saturday, August
7, when every boy and girl will have
& chance to ride the ponies and learn
from Monsieur Gautier how the little
performers are taught for the stage.
Reminiscent of the great war and
the hilarity that existed behind the
scenes is the comedy eketch with
music, "Somewhere in France," in
which a company brings to the Amer
ican public the songs and Joy that
cheered the boys as they faced the
enemy's barrage. It Is a unique of
fering, and because of its originality
Alexander Pantages has selected it
for the special attraction extraordi
nary. Among the song hits Intro-
tors, -Milton Mo'nasco, a designer and
mural decorator of note, who was
awarded many medals at the San
Francisco exposition, and Frank
Ormstrom. graduate of art schools
Lof the old and new worlds. Both are
distinguished for tnelr work in de
signing some of the most famous
settings for Sessue Hayakawa, the
Japanese star.
Another notable feature of "The
Butterfly Man" is the work of Ida
May Parke, the famous woman di
rector and authoress. She was en
gaged specially to direct Cody in the
McCutcheon drama because of the
strong feminine background of the
play.
A strong cast supports Cody. He
has no less than three leading
women. Louise Lovely, Lilie Leslie
and Rosemary Theby. Six other well
known actresses are also In the cast,
which numbers over 400. Alec B.
FranciiS, a character man of note, and
Andrew Robson, known for his splen
did work on the legitimate stage,
form Mr. Cody's principal male sup
port. The Sunday noon concerts at the
Rlvoli theater are attracting an ever-
increasing number, who are attending
the musical programmes which Mis-
cha Guterson, director, is putting on.
For today's concert a variegated list
of selections has been chosen. Mr.
Guterson. Hubert Graf and I. Miccoli
will be featured today and all week in
a trio, for the violin, harp and flute.
"Angel's Serenade" will be played.
The other number for the week's con
cert will be the overture from "Tann
hauser." The other numbers for the
Sunday concert will be "Narcissus,"
by'Nevin; the "Vorspel," from the
Wagner opera, "Tristan and Isolde,"
and "Violets." a waltz by WaldteufeL

with her parents Miss Crosman

"Passers By" Gets Under Skin of
Local Audience.
The chances are that those who
went to the Peoples theater yesterday
and saw the production of C. Had-
d)on Chambers' play, "Passers By,"
are still thinking about it. Any
thing that gets under the skin as does
this powerful photoplay cannot avoid
being the talk of the town for the
preverbial nine days.
'Herbert Rawlinson invests the lead
ing role of Peter Waverton, the
wealthy bachelor who entertained the
passers by, with tenderness and un
derstanding. He is given the support
of three of the good, character actors:
Tom Lewis, as the kindly cabby: Will-
lam J. Ferguson, as the very dignified
valet, and Dick Lee, as the vagabond.
The feminine end of the cast is well
upheld by Leila Valentine as Waver
ton's old love; Ellen Cassity as the
new, and Pauline Coffyn as the sister.
Charles Stuart Blaokton, the 6-year-old
son of the producer, brought forth
ohs and ahs of delight from the audience.
It is seldom a picture with the
quaint charm, the unique story and
the beauty of theme and the artistry
of treatment of "Passers By" passes
by our way. Don't let opportunity to
see it pass by. It remains at the
Peoples theater until Friday mid
night.
BAKRpiORE HAS TRIUMPH
Circle Shows Xoted Master In Ste-
' Ten son Story.
John Barrymore has added another
to the list of remarkable dramatic
portrayals that he has been offering
on the stage and screen during recent
years. The vehicle is the photoplay
version of Robert Louis Stevenson's
famous story, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr,
Hyde." It is being shown at the Cir
cle theater today and tomorrow.
The story, as is well known, has as
its central character a young Lon
don physician, Dr. Jekyll. He discov
ers a fluid by which he can transform
himself into a groveiing, wicked
creature, Hyde the bad side of man's
nature in, a human body. The liquid
also allows Jekyll to regain his nor
mal form at will. But gradually Hyde
gains the ascendency over Jekyll and
the unfortunate doctor, to save the
innocent girl to whom he is betrothed
takes poison.
The appearance of Mr. Barrymore
In the picture, of course, recalls the
late Richard Mansfield's success in
the stage version of the classic The
films, with their ready and clever re
sort to "double exposure," make the
story more convincing, especially in
the scenes showing the transition
from Jekyll to Hydo. Mr. Barrymore's
understanding oi nis role is perfect
He Imparts a sincerity as well as
keen sense of dramatlo values to his
portrayal that makes it unique In
modern film literature.

"Love's Harvest," a- new William Fox
production in which Shirley Mason is
to be featured at the Star theater this
week.
Miss Mason, who will be remem
bered for her sweetness and charm
in "Her Elephant Man," which played
at the Columbia, and "Molly and I,"
a former Peoples theater attraction,
is to play the part of a girl who has
that dilemma thrust upon her. Though
she is only 15 years old at the open
ing or trie play, she shows that she
has a will of her own, and she solves
the problem confronting her.
The story, which has many inge
nious complications, with scenes of
stage life in New York and Paris, is
from Pearl Doles Bell's very success
ful novel, "His Harvest." one of the
rbest sellers of the year. Miss Isabel
Johnston wrote the scenario. In the
cast are such well-known names as
those of Raymond McKee, who plays
the man to whom the girl Is be
queathed, and Edwin Booth Tllton In
the role of the theatrical impresario
wno betrlends the girl and later falls
