George Sidney, the star of the play, is seen in a Jewish characterization, but it is a characterizalion, not & cari-, ture, and a great deal of the laughter sés from his droll methods and inusing lines. He is seen as a Jewish merchant who has been frozen out of Boston and goes to a small New 1ng- d town, with his daughter kssie, to repair his fortunes. Here he meets with & group of men as hard as nails and a prejuai inst the Jew, which 1s not promi: Undaunted, he de- cides to remain, even though, n New Year eve, and a bitter one, at that they refuse him a room, even shelter, in the only hotel in to But he also meets an unappreciated senlus with ideas, a sort of town por- ter and at the same time an electrical engineer, who nurses the idea of link- ing up a nearby -falls to supply the town with e.ectric l[ght apd power and connect it by trolley wita adjoining towns. The idea appeals :to 1sidore Solomon, the Boston mercnani, and he stakes his last cent on tne venturd and realizes a sioriousiy happy ending. A | bit of mystery and rowance increase the interest.

Snader, Charles L Schofield and Howard Gould. Sylvia Field contributes a neat bit of natural characterization as Mary, a girl who was bent upon suicide because she was threatened with disgrace, through no fault of her own, and John Adair, jr., piayed the part of the town genius to & standstill. GARRICK—Thurston, Magician. An audience that filled ti Shubert- Garrick Theater last evening sat in awe and gave audible evidence of tenishment for tbree hours | Thurston, the magician, entertained— | and mystified. Like the rapid fire of ' a macnine gun, in speedy and be- wildering succession, feat after feat lusion were presented. While man ot the established and most “impo: sible of the possible” offerings whi liave made Thurston famous as a ma- sician—or which Thurston, as a ma- | &ician, bas made famous—are retain- | he program for the present en- sagement includes many that are ab- solutely new and as absolutely baf- fiing. The younger element of the audi- ence gasped aloud as pigeons were | caught with a net from the air above their heads, where there apparently | was nothing alive an instant previous; | and when the head of a dark-featker- | cd rooster exchanged places with a'! white-headed duck, on their respec- ! tive bodies, and in full view of the on-lookers. Rapt attention was ‘ivenl as cards arose from a glass by com- | mand of the waving of arms above | and on the sides, indicating that there could be nothing tangible to give sup- | port or motive power to the bits of ' cardboard. Amusement was created | when full-grown ducks and rabbits were removed from the coats of staid | and dignified gentlemen in the au-| dience. i “The Levitation of the Princess Kar- nac” proved more of an enigma than | ever, because a large committee frorn the audience took position on the| stage, and members of it were per-I mitted to pass all around the princess while she was suspended in midair | ‘without support—apparently. Mate- | rialization of “spirit forms" caused | creepy feelings, and withal, hilarity, 80 long as members of the committee ventured to enter, or even approach, the supposedly empty cabinet wherein the spirits were holding high carni- | v i A number not on the program, en- titled “Vivisection” consisted of plac- ing a young woman in a box, with her | head, hands and feet protruding, and | then sawing the box in two, inserting | rtitions at the Phner ends of the | o halves and pulling the halves | apart, the illusion being that the girl | had been cut in $wo. Thurston ex-| plained that the act was a duplication of the one presented recently at an- | other local theater, and that the ap- ! paratus had been made in his shops | on Long Island. The interest of the children was maintained particularly. by the pro- duction of rabbits from thin air, and | the changing of them to boxes of | candy, the latter being the consola- | tion prize to the children for the dis- | appearance of the “bunnies.” i Thurston has a large company of as- sistants, including a Tull-grown Afri-| i “entertainment this year is unquestionably. bigger, better and more mystifying than ever. | 1 — 1 POLI'S—“Love Birds.” | Pat Rooney—*“same old Pht;" as one of the audience chuckled—came back to Washington last night with, the | rest of his “Love Birds" for & waek' siand at Poli's. "He kept an audienos entertained with pretty somgs a dances and real comedy for two acts | and sent it away satisfied. What ! more can one expect? i Changed in some of its minor de- tails, “Love Birds” has improved with the alterations made since its first | appearance here last winter. Pat | (Continued on Eleventh Page.) | Sure Way to Get Rid of Dandruff There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely, and that is to dissolve it. This de- stroys it entirely.
