AT FOX'S THEATER An exceptionally was seen at Ifo: pleasing s theater program sterday and will every performance today and Saturd: Harry Carey in Bret Harte's character of John Oakhurst endeared himself to the audience by his wonderful interpretation i of the gentleman gambler who sacrifices all his own love and desire in order that his adopted may be happy. The story is chuck full of tense situations and dramatic moments that gradually lead up to one of the finest climaxes ever introduced into the photo drama. “The Tiger's Trail” comes to a ®ose | the last three days in the final | chapter, which has been very proper- ly called “Tiger Face.” The ‘initial chapter of “The Great Gamble” bids fair to outstrip anything ever at- tempted in serial production. The likable Mutt & Jeff animated cartoons together with the News complete the picture bill. The Mu cal Five have a big-time string quin- tet that i ceptionally pleasing. What they can not accomplish in syncopated melody has not been done | by the famous Jim KEurope himself. Howard has a wonderfully trained in a man- ner that is almost human in its in- telligence. The Telegraph Four have a quartet of good value. Mona Jack- | son, doing a lone act, proved her- | self capable and pleasing.

Mr. Hutchinson, who is cast for the part of Cyrus Martin, the irate father, was the man originally picked for the part, for the New York production, hy Mr. Cohan but owing to iline: was forced to retire from the cast, before the opening there.
