HARRY LeVAIL Equilibrist, The ews for Theatre Go ers and Women Reader$ “STRONGHEART” BIG The sensational feature motion picture “Strongheart” will be shown at the Lyceum, Sunday evening. This! picture is replete with even more ab- sorbing interest than the great stage production which so pleased the public. The management also offers the Lubin feature ‘“Her Martyrdom’ in three reels and the Vitagraph pic- ture ‘““A Madcap Adventure.” Ten reels of fine pictures are offered and lovers of good pictures will find them at the Lyceum. The final presentation of “Forty-five Minutes From Broadway” will be given this evening. There are many good seats to be had for tonight’s per- formance. The attendance all week has established a new record. This afternoon the ‘standing room ‘only” sign was displayed. “David Harum” which will be the attraction next week, is deserving of the same liberal patronage that was in evidence this week. This rural comedy drama possesses a wealth of absorbing heart interest as well as runs of comedy that provoke roars ot laughter. All contribute to the making of a very vivid picture of rural‘ “David Harum” is a typical country horse trader and he plies his business, not even hesi- tating to “sting” the deacon of the church.. One of the best scenes of the play is that in which “David” wit- nesses a demonstration of his guaran- tee of the horse he sold to the deacon. The balky horse ‘‘guaranteed to stand without hitching” and ‘‘a woman or child -can drive him,” refuses to move past home. There in the open, with the rain pouring torrents, the deacon fruitlessly flogs the horse.

PARSONS, Booth’s Block. pare favorably with the specialty given by Braham, a former comedian in the W. H. Crane companies, who is now on the vaudeville stage. Bra- ham is one of the features of this week’s show. He is a skilled im- | personator, well versed in the art of “making up” and an actor of distinc- tion. He delineates in .admirable fashion some of the characters creat- ed by Dickens and in addition im- personates many of the notables of the world, including the kaiser, the king of England, czar of Russia and several presidents of this country, liv- ing and dead. His work is artistic- ally done and is received with en- thusiasm. ““Jack Bornholt's travesty on the “movies” which he ., designates as “Curse You Jack Dalton,” is another novel feature ‘of the show. Jack plays the principal role in a moving | picture production and seemingly | mingles with the characters tarown | on the screen by the Xeeneyscope. | His act is something entirely new and it commands attention. The Fields Brothers Stock company will be seen tonight for the last time in “The Geeser.” This is an elab- orate burlesque on the popular opera “The Geyser.” It is an amusing spe- cialty and the patrons of the theater have liked it immensely. The man- agement announced today that next week the company will offer a travesty on “The Girl Behind the Counter.” Harry LeVail in an aerial acrobatic feature finds favor every day and Livingstone and Hall also win the ap- proval of the audience. Another chap- ter in the “Broncho Billy” series will be shown tonight. CABIRIA PHOTO-PLAY SPECTACLE AT FOX'’S “Cabiria,” the tremendous photo- play spectacle, is now being shown .at Fox’s to capacity audiences. Among the many thrilling scenes in “Cabiria” is the one portraying the eruption of Mt. Etna, The entire assemblage of the company in “Cabiria” aggregate over 5,000 people, and it cost $250,000 to produce. BEvery possible attention has been paid to detail, and while the romance in this photo-play is fictional, the action and main facts are ‘nis- torically correct. The strength of the giant slave ‘“Maciste,” the agility of the' Roman “Fulvius Axilla,” and his daring plunge of several hundred feet from a cliff into the sea are real big thrillers that set the blood run- ning through one’s veins. Climax fol- lows climax and the spectators are TJeld spellbound by the speedy action of the play, and with the original 'score being played by Ernest F. Jores, the Fox theater organist, the production is enhanced a thousand fold. There are scenes In this mar- velous picture that never fail to bring forth hearty applause from the audi- ence, not alone for the sensation taat abounds, but for the wealth of beauty shown in wondrous scenes. “Cabiria” will be shown today at 2 p/m., 5 p. m and 8 p. m., running continuous from 1:30 to 11 p. m. To- morrow it will be shown but once and that 7:30 p. m. sharp.

Design Is Simple—Model in Heavy Linen Seme- what Primitive. Color lines for linen frocks are very | of arm eyes which at front take = definitely drawn this season. By ‘“‘this season” is meant, of course, the balmy one of Florida, 'Bermuda, Southern California or wherever a linen frock may comfortably be worn. Broadly speaking, its material is called white. Actually, its shade is oyster, or putty, and against either of these tones the lines of color are definite, but never startling. Yet it is always a vivid color, like scarlet, high blue or emerald green, used as a piping to define the shape of a col- lar, mark the.limits of cuffs and in- dicate the position of the waist. Primitive Model in Heavy Linen. Many of the so-called “frocks” are in two pieces, and the design of both pleces is so simple that one wonders why somebody did not think of them long ago. Almost primitive is a model in heavy linen, whose almost straight skirt is plain, save for a half-inca stitched band running down either side from belt to hem. A middy shirt frunished the idea for the up- per portion of this frock. Its sides, from the waist down, are slit and color piped, but it has acquired a broad belt, which, however, daisap- pears under piped slits, thus indicat- ing a normally placed waist without interferng wth the straight lines of the loose garment.
