'Love And Glory' To Be t Castle
The romance of a duke jind a cho
rus girl, one of the type that fill the
London press with gossip and not sel
uom with Hcandal, is the amazing
counter-plot in one of the most re
markable lore stories of the year,
"The Gaiety (iirl," Mary PhilblnV
new Universal starring vehicle, adap
ted from I. A. R. Wylie's sensational
novel of London life. 'The Inherit
ors," which Is promised next Monday
for the Jtex theatergoers.
Mary rbi)binwho rose to fame as
the little organ grinder of "Merry
Go Round," and the Bowery waif of
"Fool's Highway," enacts a simple
young girl, scion of nobility, forced by
poverty into the choruB of the famous
Gaiety theater of London, noted for
jits gay doings. Contrasted to her,
with her genuine love affair, is the
role played by Grace Harmond, the .
famous screen beauty, engaged in a
money-getting "romance" with an an
cient duke. ' 1 .
The story relates the romance of a
;oung girl forced on the stage by
poverty, tricked by lies into an abbor
ient marriage, and saved by a climax
so astounding and daring that it leaves
;he spectator gasping in amazement.
King Baggot, who directed the new
picture, used ancient British cuatles,
the fashionable Hitz of London, and
the Gaiety as models for reproducing
London at the Universal City. A no
table cast appears' with Miss I'hilbin,
including Joseph J. Dowling, who
played the title role' in "The Miracle
Man"; ' William Haines, Grace Dar
nr.ond, De Will Jennings, Tom Kick
etts, and Lydia Yeaman's Titus.
The interior of the famous theater,
with stage, audience, and an entire
show in production, is one of the big
spectacles of the new picture.

"CAPTAIN BLOOD" COMING
A genuine ohl relic of the nailing
days of 1S'J7 it used as a chart iu
the seipiencen of the pictm-ization of
Rafael Subfttint'H famous novel, "Cap
tain Blood," which will be nhown at
the lleilig theater soon. It in a globe
which J. Warren Kerrigan as Cap
tain Blood nses to chart the courses
of his pirate phip, "Arabella4." ,
Tho Hal Yung troupe, a Chinese
oddity specialty imported by Acker
man and Harris, are tho headlines at
tho lleilig theater Monday. This act
consists of juggling feats knife
throwing, magic and numerous other
novelties. Tor a climax two of the
troupe do a remarkable swinging act
from one side of the stge to the
other, hanging by their queues. This
troupo has been seen here before and
has never failed to amuse and
astound. It is said to be one of the
best Chinese acts on the stage today.
A comedy character classic which,
It is said, is bound to please, is of
fered by Palmer and Huston and is
called "The Old Flirt." Mr. Palmer
portrays one of the lovable old war
veterans in a miuuer true to life,
whilo Miss JcBsio Huston plays the
role of the girl. She is pleasing , to
look upon and has a charming voice,
which she uses to advantage.
Doc Kmmett and Pal, a man and
dog, offer what is termed a clever
novelty. Pal is not merely a well
trained tlog, but appears to be highly
educated and bis versatility never
fails to win hearty commendation.
The California trio offers solo num
bers on tho .piano, violin and cello, as
well as ensemble. Each member of
the trio is a finished artist. Their
repertoire is taken from grand opera
and popular selections. '
Al Patterson is an entertainer who

Dix's First Star '
Film Said to Be
A Real Production
Ernest R, Ball, noted composer, with Kolb and Dill Friday night
at Helllfl.
Coming to tbe Heilig theater Fri-
day, December 26, is the greatest of
Kolb and Dill's successes, titled "In .
Politics," a comedy written by the!
late Aaron Hoffman, staged in two j
acts and a tea-Home, with a large 1
bevy of beautiful singing and dancing j
girls. The staging and costuming of
"In Politics" surpasses any show that
Kolb and Dill have ever been seen in.
"In Politics," from the time tho cur
tain rises until it is lowered on the
finale, brings forth continuous laugh
ter and applause, for Kolb and Dill
have never appeared in more suitable
roles than in this year's production.
Kolb and Dill are to be commended
for their acquisition of Ernest li.
Ball, who is cancelling a long time
vaudeville contract to appear with
them and direct their special orches
tra, as well as sing many of his lat
est song hits. Some of the most fam
ous and popular numbers that he has
written and published are, "Mother
Machree," "Love Me and the World
is Mine," "Let the Best of the World
Go By," "Till the Sands' of the Desert
Grow Cold," and hundreds of other
equally popular songs. In tbe tea
ilogue between acts with Ernest 1L
Bali are many marvelous singing and
dancing maidens, whose singing is
delightful to the ear, and their danc
ing pleasing to the eye.
The two comedians have been fur
nished with a political farce this year
.that gives them unlimited scope in
comedy and funny situations and it is
needless to say they do not miss any
opportunities to make you laugh, for
they are seen at their best in the
character of two German vagabonds,
Kolb in the role of Kasper K. Koenig,
and Dill in the role of Karl K.
Krause, who later becomes elected
mayor, and Kolb in the office of tbe
corporation counsel. During their
short term in . this capacity many
things happen and happen fast, which
brings on a riot of fun and laughter.
They have never appeared in more
suitable rofes and are more than cap
able to untangle the seemingly impos
sible scrapes that they get into.
