Optimism, humor, novelty are the principal foatures of Doug Fairbanks' new photoplay, “He | Comes Up Smiling”, which will bo presented at the Lyceum the first half of this week. The part of Jerry, who is known by the Knights of the Road as “The Watermeclon”, Is that of a young man-who has ambition, but who is inclined to live the life of a vagabond. Lured by the green wood and an lrresistible desire to experi- ence new sensatlons along the broad highway, Jeiry is & character which stands out distinctly as one of Mr. Fairbanks’ most novel and enjoyable screen characterizations. The picture is filled with numerous novel situa- tions and the action is exceedingly vapid. Jerry chases a canmary bird over hill and dale into houses and excitement and | over house-tops; he is in turn chased by a swarm of beds and he does re markable stunts in & wild automobile drive across a mountain, The role of the tramp is unique even in his record of unusual characterization but Mr. Fairbanks seems thorough at home therein. Marjorie Daw is Mr. Fairbanks' leading woman and a remarkable iist of players has been provided to interpret the other roles. The Fairbanks smile and athletics are in evidence every instant and it |is said the attention of the audience does not lag for an instant. The new vaudeville bill is one of Tt contains three exception- ally fine acts including Smith & Gar- field, two men in a singing offering with some comedy: Jones & Johnson, colored comedians, and the Arens family in a clever novelty a Thursday brings the everlasting William S.

Mr, Keenan's porirayal of the dual role of a good gambler and a bad desperado is onc of those performances which will live in motion picture history and will ce tainly add much luster to Keenan's already great reputation and popu- larity. Love, hate, greed and lawless passions furnish the color and thrills for this engrossing Western drama, which is an adaptation of Sir Henry Irving's historical success, ““The Lyons | 1 Mail.” “The Midnight Stage” never lags for a moment, but throbs with primitive passion, is tense with sus- pense and marked by the finished act- Frail, Sickly fascinating contrast- | Woman old and new fiel food production, other wom- | kilns e stoking the boilers of the hop cast.
