‘TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 1928 MAIL ORDERS ARE COMING IN FOR BROADWAY Company Gives Special Per- formance Here En Route From Seattle to St. Paul Mail orders are now being re- ceived for the engagement of “Broadway,” the world-famous drama of the cabarets which comes to the auditorium at Bismarck for as 1 performance en route from Seattle to St. Paul on Monday night, April 9. ‘ Internationally acclaimed and with record runs to its credit in both London and New York, inter- est in the local engagement sur- passes that enjoyed by any attrac- tion c2en here within the past five years. Evidence of the fame of “Broadway” is seen in the fact that special companies have been or- ganized this season for Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Los Angeles, the Midale West and the South. The night club classic is now in its sec- ond year in New York, and adap- tions are being shown in practical- ly all the important capitals of urope. “Broadway,” a Jed Harris pro- duction, bounded into an immediate hit on the date of its opening at the Broadhurst Theatre in i<ew York, September 16, 1926. proportions of its popularity are in- dicated by the size of its box-office receipts. In its first 37 weeks at the Broadhurst it totaled over a million dollars. It will be shown here at prices materially lower than those charged in New York where all lower floor seats bring four dollars at the box-office. “Broadway” is a vivid and graphic picture of what goes on in the mght clubs of New York between midnight and daylight. A product of prohib- ition, the night club attracts the so- cially elite, the people of the thea- trical world, the night workers, the gangsters; gunmen, bootleggers, and hijackers who are creatures of the illicit trade in the forbidden potions. The play is at once grim and gay, comic and tragic, sophisticated and naive. * The play is real and authentic, and’ no attempt is made to roman- ticize or idealize its characters. There is a murder in the first act and murder in the last, and in be- tween the entertainers in the Para- dise Night Club, where the action of the play ‘takes place, engage in their rehearsals, their private quar- rels, and their love affairs. The obligato of the cabaret orchestra heard through the. swinging doors accentuates the tempo, ofthe play. i At the Movies | CAPITOL THEATRE John Gilbert who plays the title role in “St. Elmo,” the Fox Films reissue of Augusta J. Evans’ immor- tal novel will be shown at the Cap- itol Theatre Wednesday and Thurs- day. The story has many tense ‘situa- tions that rise to a powerful, thun- dering climax. It is said that the photoplay is further enhanced by masterful direction and artistic photography. A welcome member of the cast is demure Bessie Love, who plays op- posite John Gilbert. The work of Gilbert, excellent in itself, should prove a rare treat when it has the contrast furnished by the clever acting of Miss Love. Calling to mind the dramatic soporiantiies of the book, written Augusta Evans, this screen creation should have every element of sure-fire en- tertainment and human interest. ELTINGE THEATRE It cannot be denied that “Chi-|- cago,” showing at the Eltinge again today and Wednesday is an unusual picture. It must be admitted also that Phyllis Haver, as the jazz- crazed wife, and Victor Varconi, as The| ¢ enslaved him she deliberately mur- | ders Lim. Althou; her husband is aware of her infidelities, his love for her prompts him to do all in_ his) power to save her from the chair,| and when a rascally:criminal law- yer, pcrtrayed by Robert Edeson, de- I mands an excessive fee he commits a burglary. Roxie Fart is heralded by the press as “the beautiful jazz slayer,” and she revels in her no- toriety which ultimately results in her acquittal. Then her husband casts her off and she finds herself | ‘an outcast, alone and forgotten. STEPHENSON CLAINS EVANS 1S MURDERER Klan Imperial Wizard Caused | Death of Atlantan, Former Dragon Says Pittsburgh, Pa. April 3—@)— Charges that Hiram W. Evans, im- perial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, instigated a murder are contained in a deposition obtained for use in| ‘@ suit to prevent the Klan from! functioning in Pennsylvania. The deposition was made by David C. Stephenson, former grand dragon of the Klan in Indiana, in his cell at Michigan City, Ind. where he is serving a life sentence for the murder of Madge Oberholz- r. Stephenson brands Evans as “the murderer” of Captain William S. Coburn, an attorney of Atlanta, “who was put out of the way be- cause he was going to bring out some embarrassing matters in a suit against the Klan.” Phil Fox Did Killing “The actual murder,” Stephenson avers, “was committed by Phil Fox, who was incensed after Evans had told him he could prove Coburn had made derogatory remarks Mrs. Fox.” When Fox said he was going to kill Coburn, the deposition proceeds, Evans told him: “Colonel Simmons kill Simmons, too.” Colonel W. J. Simmons preceded Evans as imperial wizard. The deposition avers that gunm sent out to kill those oppose en were d to the unseating of Simmons, and Evans finally got the job at $1,000 a month for life. Describes Evans The deposition describes Evans as “an uncultured, uncouth vulgar individual, like Nero, drunk, grasp- ing at every straw in an effort to identify his name with something of national importance.” Stephenson declared Evans be- lieves himself “the Mussolini of America.” is described bv only ame" who had « phenson as “not he Klan but one f becoming presi- dent of t d States.” And, he contin. ans had Jackson on the dot: 2 of an agreement which would ..spose of the spoils of his office if elected.” about is just as deeply involved and if he} was going to kill Coburn he might as well make a good job of it and | fe (65 MINNEHAHA PALE Governor Ed Jackson of Indiana} THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE 8 Bodies Recovered After Blast in Mine Keystone, W.
