Marriage Moves
IN THE PHOTOPLAY HOUSES THIS WEEK
IN THE new bill opening tomorrow.
Pantag-es is featuring Georae
; Choos great big- "girl" act, "The . 8uf
: fragette Court." The title fairly tells
the story. The Judge, -the jury, the
police and the bailiff are all very at
'tractive young women; the two pris
; oners are only men and what they get
during the course of a ragtime trial
is no trouble at all. There is plent
of musical comedy as well as farce.
'Chris Chlsliolm and Viola Breen
.put over a rattling- good little travesty
and an almost melodrama that is all
.sorts of fun. The four Portia sis
ters are feminine contortionists' and
are no less remarkable in their line,
r Cumby and Brown are colored chaps
'who are celebrated as fun makers
'wherever there is vaudeville. Their
.line is wholly out of the groove.
i The, four Cook sisters sing splen-
'dldly, dress .that way and look a good
deal" the wmo. The Symphony trio
' .plays everything in the way of a mu-
. steal instrument they can get their
hands on, and sing as well as they
play.
a The thirteenth episode f "The Lass
of the Lumberlands," with Helen
.Holmes, makes the capsheaf of a truly
unusual bill.
i
Si pretty, talented girls, who make
.up the Sextette ie Luxe, will have
, a big part to play in entertaining Hip-
.podrome audiences who see the new
ahow that opens there today to run
i .until Thursday. These perfarmers are
-good to look upon, their costumes are
elaborate and stunning and Special
scenery is carried to make the act
. most effective. The offering is a group
of vaudeville features assembled in one
"act. There is a Hawaiian setting that
' is especially pleasing.
Young Judson Cole is one of the beat
" magicians and talkative sl?ight of hand
men to be seen here in a lonjr time. He
is a .whole show in himself and his
work is not only mystifying but highly
" entertaining as well.'
Russell & Hughes offer remarkable
costume changes and character imper
sonations and they work wonderfully
fast.
Carman and Printup have a novel
. .- mimical number. One Is an exceptional
pianist and both have excellent voices
. The two work under an immense ban-
. -. fllcap but they are entirely successful
1n presenting their act. in a pleasing
way.'
; I he Reckless Trio ttvc acrobats who
. seem to have entire disregard for the
safety of both life and limb. They do
astonishing things in the most daring
way.
J ne i timers have an offerine- on
, "-'roller skates that makes the audience
. sit up and take notice.
The motion picture program starting
t .today is also good. The feature amone
- 'the film attraction? is the latest erJi
- node of "Pearl of the Army," the big
i'athe feature serial, with Pearl "White
t a general favorite, in the leading role.
K There is also a Pathe News and an
- animated comedy that is certain to
make everyone laugh. 'Hip" shows
.. are continuous today from 1:15 to 11
. p. m.
, Once "gain the Orpheum offers n
four-star show, two joint headlines
and two other big-type acts appearing
n tne bill to open at the Heilig
theatre this afternoon. The headline!-
are Klsie Piker and Dudley Douglaj
in smart songs, dances, sayings and
gowns, and Odiva. "The Water Queen,"
esslsted by a school of Pacific se
4iwn in an immense glass tank. The

Lyric, and this week, beginning today,
the latest musical farce, "Romeo and
Joliet," will be the offering, and It is
said to be a scream or laughter from
start to finish. The scenes are laid in
Illinois, not far from the town of Jol
iet. The proprietor of a big hotel is
expecting a couple of royal guests, and
Is at loss for some entertainment out
of the ordinary to amuse them. Final
ly he hits upon the plan of putting on
a big performance of "Romeo and Juli
et,'' and learning of a famous actor
down at Joliet sends for htm to play
the immortal Romeo. But a Juliet he
cannot find. and. reduced to extreme
necessity of placing one of his cham-
bermaids in the part. Then another
contingency arises. Romeo has disap
peared. But hehe our friend. Able Co
hen, comes onto the scene and, as
usual, saves the day. Before he knov
it, he is elected for Romeo, and tne
fun begins Jn earnest. This is one f
Al Frank's most humorous roles, snd
he is ably seconded by Karl Hall in the
well known rube character. The finale
Is the well Known balcony scene given
in burlesque, which is a riot. All new
songs and chorus numbers will be in
troduced with bright and snappy cos
tumes and petty scenic effects. Thcr-J
is a matinee every day and continuous
performance today, starting at 2
o'clock. Tuesday night the vaudeville'
tryouts are staged between shows, and
Friday the always popular chorus
girls' contest.
"Little Women," one of the phenome
nal stage successes of several sea
sons ago. Is about to be revived by
William A. Brady. An illustration or

May Save 'Garden'
For Amusements
It depends in a way upon the peo
ple of New York whether Madison
Square Garden will remain a place of
quasi-public amusement or will be.
torn down and an office building erect
ed in its place. The syndicate which
has Just bought the historic edifice
from the New York Life Insurance
company announces that if a sufficient
number of organizations or individuals
rent or lease the garden so that re
tention in its present form will prove
profitable, the part of the building,
including the arena, will oe lert stana
lng. The Madison and Fourth Avenue
ends of the structure are to be changed
into office lofts.
The present statement alters the
complexion of a recent announcement
that it was probable Isadora Duncan,
backed by friends, would purchase the
garden for the purpose of instituting
a civic center there. However, it may
come about that she will be one of
the tenants If not the sole occupant.
HE LILAC DOMINO," the three
act international musical suc
cess by Charles Cuvilller. which
took New York, Boston and Wash
ington and Chicago and all the larger
cities of the east by storm and which
was originally produced in Vienna and
then taken to Paris, where it ran for
an entire season, wlll.be presented at
the Heilig theatre, Broadway and Tav-
lor streets, next Thursday for three
nights and a special priced matinee
Saturday.
Impressario Andreas Dippel feels
Justly proud of this big production,
which has created such waves of com
ment from noted art critics, music
lovers and from the general public as
well. It is conceded to be the most
elaborate, bright, breesy and alto
gether beautiful production of many
seasons. The score Is enchanting, as
it rlDDles and sways and floats along
in a variety of tempos, the syncopa
tions of which were epecially arranged
by Milan Roder of Vienna, conductor
of special orchestras. There has been
a lavish expenditure in producing the
wonderful scenic and electrical effects.
Lovely young girls in the chorus dis
port themselves in a number of gor
geous costumes and sing and dance in
a decidedly sprightly and vivacious
manner. Five well known comedians
call out about three laughs to the
minute throughout the entire three
acts. Among the notables of the cast
are Bradford Klrkbride in the leading
role, arvonne Darle. Marie Hamilton, a
find of Andreas Dippel; Harry Herm-1
sen and Joseph Carey, laugh-coiners;
George Curion, Archibald Gilchrist,
Edward Crawford. Anita Andrews,
Irene Perela and Julia Fontaine are
among the notables of the cast. A few
of the most popular songs are bong
of the Chimes." sung by Mr. lvirK-
bride, and Miss Darle. to the accom
paniment of Silver Bells, "The Lilac
Domino," the strains or wnicn are re
peated like a refrain throughout the
piece: "Let the Music Play," "Ladies
Day," "What is Done You Never Can
TTndo." "What Every Woman Knows,"
"Where Love is Waiting," "On the Gay
Riviera," and many others.
Few plays are more fascinating than I
those that deal with some phase of un
derworld life, especially when they
border more on the comedy than sor
