PATHE WEEKLY AT KEENEY’S TONIGHT | Incidents connected with the war now raging in Buropg will be depict. ed in interesting fashion in the Pathe Weekly, the feature of the Keecney- scape program tonight. No mo truthful account of the war than that told in the Pathe films can be given | for the camera is really neutral and | explains the details without the slight- est change or unfair inference, There! will be a number of interesting details | in the reel to be shown tonight and the picturé program should prove a mast entertaining and instructive part of the show. There will also be | number of good photo dramas ana gome comedies that are bound to give satisfaction. Among the vaudeville acts the Great Celest stands out prominently. He shows originality and skill and his inimitable style makes him a favorite with the audience. Celest is a Eu- ropean wire performer and baton swinger. He daes a number of won- | derful things on the wire. Captain Betts and his troupe of edu- cated seals furnish the week’s sen- sation. The seals arc - remarkably well trained and they display almost human intelligence in évery stunt they perform. There are six of these sea monsters in the troupe. ' The, act is novel and has many fine entertdin- ing qualities. The Three Miltons have a light song and dance specialty that goes good. Harvey and Smith and Lucere and Lucere also have entertaining special- ties in which singing plays an import. ant part. The costumes of the peo- ple in these acts are new and attrac- tive. ¥ | | | Walter Thomas in “Argyle Case.” (Brooklyn Eagre.) “Walter Thomas, who has made a splendid reputation for himself 'in juvenile roles returned to the stage last night after an absence of two years and as ‘Bruce,Argyle,’ in ‘The Angyle Case’ he gave a very good performance of a rather difficult role.

It calls in'a most attractive too, for perfectly blended are the blues of the serge and the, red of its suede rrimmings. These, .of course, are not of the pelt, but'of kid-surfaced cloth akin to duvetyn. The real soldier vise suit, but a woman would regard it as the most serviceable in her ward- robe, since serge and sueae cloth wear Tetter than do ‘many other popular would | | not call this fetching uniform a ser- fabrics.

That severely straight bacit, however, starts from a yoke, pointing deeply at centre, which is stiched on with ‘ajours in! heavy floss. This single fem. ! irine touch would save the suit from the stigma of strong-mindedness. A Feminine Touch Is White Pearl Belt Buckle. But femininity betrays itself for a second time in a white pearl buckle fastening a patent leather strapped | self-belt, drawn low at front at the | ning of revers faced with red suede | «cloth and trimmed with rows of blue ! bone buttons at the ends of blue- | bouhd buttonholes. The revers expose.| a glimpse of red waistcoat, while the | high-rolled collar and broadly turned ; back cuffs show facings of the same | deep warm hue. Fancy trimmings do not cestroy the | | outlines of the crisp straw ‘hats worn ; with the costume militaire. It is usually a turban with a broad brim | running to a sharp point at left back, | and dominating a flat crown whose | sole garnishing iz a three looped velvet | ribbon bow. Veils are not added to | the chapeau which goes with such a costume. | When blue serge is not trimmed | with suede cloth, it almost certainly | carries a quantity of black silk braid | and braided ball buttons. Not the bullet sized spheres whicn last Sep-| tember came into fashion merely to go out again because they would not | stay fastened, but the larger sort which, in small numbers, are con- vineingly ornamental. A dozen of them on a jdcket are gs ornamental | as three gross of the others, and they make practical fastenings for military braided jacket fronts, The natty short coat of a blue serge niodel thus treated is fittea with darts | from the shoulders to the cnest and from the bust, running at the waist- line under a belt of viue patent leather, to pant way over the hips. So smoothly does this basque fit that it might be the yoke for a skirt laid in narrow side pleats, but having at front a single broad box pleat swing- ing loosely, like atablier, almost to the hem of the garment. Running up- ward from the foot of each side pleat is a band in narrow black braid. This trimming scheme s Tepeated across the hips on the jacket's back ard, in lieu of cuffs, over the outer scam of the sleeves between wrist and clbow. A white faille pand-trimmed black satin collar, turned high about the back and sides of the neck, gives a delightful touch of femininity to this jacket, and one is not surprised to see a scrap of net lace exposed by the short V-opening of the throat.

NAVY IN FILMS AT LYCEUM SUNDAY The most interesting and ‘highly educational moving ever made are those which will com- prise the program for the and picture entertainment at Lyceum, Sunday evening. The pro- gram is made up of the celebrated Lyman Howe serfes and depict life y in the United States nav Every | man in the country is, or should be, | interested in seeing close to'the work- | aday life of the jackies who are ready | to defend the country against a for- | eign foe, and there is no better way to see tais than through these pic- tures, To obtain such a wide and comprehensive insight into naval life as is obtained through the Howe pic- tures would require months of time, | thousands of miles of travel and xt‘ gigantic outlay of money. At the Lyceum, Sunday night, the oppor- tunity of seeing these things will be | available at a small sum. The Howe pictures were made at the South Atlantic “battleground” Off | Vera Cruz in the most remarkable | setting for such a series of picture: Uncle’s Sam’s great giants of the sea | swept the tropical deep in imaginary warfare. The most absorbing series of naval problems were worked out | there and the U. S. S. Wyoming, from | which the motion pictures were made was, according to the rules of the game, sunk with its entire crew. Even in the play-war there is a strong, tense feeling and it is even revealed in the pictures. The clear- ing of the ship for action and opera- tion of the big guns is so realistic that the audience almost feels the ef- fect of the concussion and hears the din of the booming of the big guns. is the serious side of the naval life reviewed, but the audience is shown that Uncle Sam carries out the feeling that ‘*‘all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.” The pastimes of the jackies—and they are numerous—are revealed and in addi- tion the opportunities presented for improvements are presented. most pictures | concert | | the'| STABS HALF-BROTHER.

This old play—for it is a very old play— | is another example that the most en- during are the best alwa Just as “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” will always re- maih a popular book, so will “Wuy Down East” always be a theatrical succes: It was but recently that the Brady company released it for stock productions, so the Poli Players are among the first to appear in it. Their success in it is evidence of the me rightly pepular organization. Harry Hollingsworth, Miss Marguerite Skirvin, John Ellis, Miss Welba Les- tina, Roy Phillips, Forrest Seabury, Miss Inex Lyman, Ben MacQuarrie, \da Dalton, Hal Briggs, Mau Dower, R. J. Fagin and the others n the big cast give faithful char- acterizations of the various - roles. “Way Down East” will be repeated each afterncon and evening this week. “The Call of the North,” which is three scenes and four acts and has to do* with the life in the most northerly part of the Hudss 1y Ray company territory, will be next| ttraction by the players. The piece will he mounted appropriately and up to the usual high Poli stand- ard. in which Parties and Parties “We're going to have a party for father's birthday little friend announced to me the other day Her mother laughed. ““The party consists chiefly of a birthday cake, explained deprecatingly, “But it’s a party just the same Aunt Ruth?” “I'm sure it if feel that way,” 1 And later when I passed the house and saw the light shining out of the liinvg room windows and the little voungster in her besty gown with her nose pressed against the window watching for father, and two more young- sters dancing excitedly about behind her, 1 felt quite sure there was go- ing to be just the nicest kind of a party, even if its only material manifes- tation was a birthday cake What Is a Party, Anyway? what's a party but a festive state of You can’t have a really successfu] party without a happy party with that and little elge, Once on a time there were two young people whe were marooned on that most desolate of desert islands, a city where they knew absolutely no .« one.

Much of its cle " erness is due to its structural uniguc- ress and mechanical ingenuity. But it is its acting virility that makes the piece stand out in bold Telief among recent stage productions. “On Trial” is from the pen of E mer L. Reizenstein It is his fir play effort, but judging by its recep- tion in New York and Chicago, this author will have to be reckoned with as a future contributor to the con- temorary stage. The play deals with the actualities of life, true, it is said, that audiences are electrified by its reality and stirred to acclamation by its tremendous climax. “On Trial” is a wonderful play, won- derful in its technique; in the power- ful interests it arouses, and its produc- tion in this city is an event that the- atergoers can’t afford to ignore.
