The young men do some very classy dancing, sing several intricate numbers that aro new to local theatergoers. They keep splendid time and work upside down, | getting through some difficult steps | while suspended in the air, their feet reaching a platform on special app. atus. They have a good act and the audience seems to Hke it. Harry Jackson's delineation of the Hebrew characier continues to be one of the brightest spots in the of- ferings of the Fields Brothery' stock company. Ilaey is a versatile : entertainer .and his work stands out prominently every week. He has , mastered the dialect of the Yiddish ' peddler and his mannerisms and ges- ticulations make him an ideal com- edian of the Joe Welsh type. He is probably the best funmaker in the troupe and he has become exceeding- ly popular with the patrons of the | theater since the company returnel here. The Ficlds are as amusing a. ever in “Whirligig,” the piece used | as a vehlcle (hlu week. The balance | of the company. also gives satisfac- | tion. There should be a capacily house | tomorrow night when the big Vifa- ' graph drama, “The Juggernaut” iz shown for the first time in this city. This is one of the special screen play: to be featured during the summer. 1t is more expensive than a vaudeviiie act but the management believes that the appreciation. of the theater- soers will warrant the outlay which it necessitated. Prof, Neumann has a fascinating sleight-of-hand act.. He is a clev card manipulator and has many no tricks that serve to entertain. Mack and Sherwin have'a song and dance specfalty of merit and De Velde and Zelda do some acrobatic tricks that are of a sensational character.

She writes him a letter telling him of her intentions but he returns before she can,put her plans into action. While Wilson is unpacking his bags, wine is served, but Matry refuses to drink any. Mr. Maddex, who has accompanied Wilson to his home, upraids her for what he considers here parade of virtue, and Mary slaps his face. Maddox then leaves the hause. Mary then tells Wilgon she is going to leave him and he, for the first time, realizing that he really loves her, tries to dis- suade her but finally being convinced of her sincerity he allows her to de- part. . Mary secures a position in a shirtwaist factory not knowing it is the one owned by Maddox. Wilson learns of Mary’'s whereabouts and visits her, haping to induce her to return but she firmly refuses. Mad- dox endeavoring to reduce expensecs cuts the girls' wages twenty per cent., and Mary, assuming the leadership, approaches Manager Cochran threatens & strike. ranges a fake riot to discourage the girls. After the riot, Cochran en- gages a number of thugs to intimidate the girls and when the police arrive, the thugs attack them, thus creating | the impression that the girls are an- archists. The plans work all right until one of the thugs shoots a po- liceman and is captured by Mary, who courageously holds him until the po- lice arrive. At the stationhouse the | ghug. confesses that Cochran hired him to do the shooting. The next day Mary visits the mayor aof the i town to plead with him in behalf of\ the girls. Maddox learning of the mayor’s sympathy for the girls re- establishes the former wage scale, and the girls return to work., That night a tremendous fire breaks out in the factory with tragic results, but the story ends happily with the joining ! of the mayor and Mary Page. | 1 | DROPS INVESTIGATION.

In one scene in which he is supposed to have been the cause of ineiting panic and riots in the slums of London, a mob of 3,000 howling, shrieking, panic-stricken men, wom- en and children .were thrown against him. When Mr. Williams was a youngster at college he was a football enthusiast, but never in the roughest serimmage of all did he receive such freatment as was accorded him by those 3.000 extra pcople employed in making the film. With them he fought like one possessed, as can he seen hy his performance in “The Christian.” When it was all over he was bruised from head to foot.

Miss Edith ’ Story, who portrays Vicla Allen’s part of Glory Quayle, has much to say rel- ! ative to the values of acting in the drama and the pictures. According to Miss Storey, playing such a part as Glory Quayle in pictures is infinitely harder than' doing the same thing in drama. -Miss Storey's contention is that the photo-play actress is de- prived of the power of speech, and anyone who stops for a moment to consider will realize what difficulty they would have if they were asked to convey all of their meetings with- | out using a word. Miss Story has re- duced facial expression and gestures to such a science that it is possible for her to carry on a conversation with another, convey all her meanings, and not make a sound, running the full gamut of feeling.
