This will his two fair partners, dd a variety of dazzling ice stunts that are a revela- tion. This is a real big time act. An- other act that seems to appeal to the humor of the audience is Caron and Farnum. These are two acrobats who have a comedy knockabout sketch that savors of the Hank Mann comedy. All that is lacking is a custard pie throw- ing contest. The Trater Trio was un- able to keep its engagement and in its place comes Dale and Doyle in a sing- ing and dancing number. Clifton and Stuart in a comedy act complete the vaudeville bill which is of superior quality throughout. The Fox News and a Mutt and Jeff comedy are added attractions. Much more could be said about “Blind Wives' than has becn. but to thor- oughly appreciate thl: picture it must be seen. Some of the strriny mo- ments are when Ann’'s husband, see- ing a gorgeous gown which he has paid for, asks “Who paid for it?" Es. pecially appealing is the closing scene where Ann, her eyes opened and she no longer a ‘“blind wife,” embraces her husband and declares her happi- ness lies with him and not in show- ing herself in brilllant costumes. For Sunday night, Managér Carney has booked Vivian Martin in ‘“His Of- ficial Fiancee, and . “Wanted at Head- quarters,” starring Eva Novak. “HELLO BROADWAY,” LYCEUM THEATER.

It was presented yesterday as the new bill for tha second half of thé weck, and will be shown tonight and tomorrow. Romance and adventure and a haunting fear of the unknown play large parts in a highly effective Mau- rice Tourneur picture, ‘“The White Cirele,” which came to the Lyceum last evening for a three days' run. The story was adapted from R. L. be the first showing of the picture outside of New York city. The story deals with life \n a New England rural community and as such, the characters are peculiarly American. The sacrifices undergone by the mother of a brood of six, her patience in endeavoring to @orrect thelr short-comings and rear them to study manhood and womanhood entitie this dramatéc verslon of ““Over the Hill" to the honor of being «classified as the Great American drama for which critics long have sought.

Friday and Saturday the Palace will present Liletta and her Hawafi- ans, a real clever Hawaiian musical and dancing offering with a cast of seven clever entertainers. A treat is promised to the admirers of King Vidor by this progucer in his latest picture—a First National at- traction—"“The Jack-Knife Man,” which comes to the Palace on Friday and Saturday. Delightfully refreshing in the new- ness of its theme and locale, this photoplay of rural simplicity with its quaint characters drawn from real life, is full of gentle humor and pathos. It deals with the affairs of a little colony of unique personages who dwell in a secluded hamlet nestling on the banks of the Mississ- ippi river—and on the dilapidated houseboats clustered along the banks. It is a homely little tale of the affairs of plain people with its central char- acter a lovable @)Jd chap filled with the love of fellow-man. —otherwise drab 'and drear—comes a tiny friendless waif and the whole world is changed for him. His strug- gles to work out the salvation of the lad forms one of the most pleasing and heart-gripping tales the screen has produccd in a long time. A l'I’!()h. Kilties Band, with Bagpipers and Scotush Dancers. Canada’s greatest concert band and the world's leading musical or- ganization of its kind will be on the stage of the Capitol the last half of the week, for the Kilties band is here for today and Saturday. The famous band, together with its bagpipers, its Scoltish dancers and other artists, has just entered vaudeville and Hart- ford is one of the first stops on the tour of Conductor MacDonald's great command. It's the genuine band music of t superb kind that no- body can resist. Also on the bill is a Hartford girl, Miss Maud Muller, the prima donna comedienne, who, with Ed. Stanley, presents a new skit called “Rice Pudding” with song and Miss Mul- ler's family lived in this city for many years and several of her relatives still reside here. June Imes and her com- pany have a smart singing comedy. Murdock and Kennedy return to vaudeville from musical comedy, with singing and eccentric dancing and Marr and the Dwyer Girls do some ~vv‘>'~' specialty danclng and sing some hilar- lous songs. | Enid Bennett is shown in “Halr- pins"” as an old-fashioned young wife, who nearly loses her hubby by being | too home loving, and just in time Jumps into competition with the lat- ter's stenographer with some amus- ing results. e “ALICE IN WONDERLAND" OF GREAT EDUCATIONAL VALUE The story of “Alice in Wcnder- land” is familiar to all school chil- dren and- has been an especial favor- ite for the past half century. The film version of Lewis Carroll's phan- tasy has been enthusiastically en- | dorsed by educators throughout the | country. The characters in this fas- | cinating photoplay are produced with surprising fidelity, in which undertak- ing the producers were aided by the 'drawings of Sir John Tenniel who was an associate of the author. The pictures and sayings of Alice and her dreamland companions reveal flights of the imagination, and are | highly entertaining and instructive. | It is in every respect the ideal phpto- play for children, and there is n- uine regret among teachers and par- ents that there are not more moving pictures of this character. Any child who witnesses this screen production will be ailded in visualizing the char- acters from any printed page, thus making the mental impressions con- form to the creations of the author. “Alice in Wonderland” will be given at the Lyceum theater on Saturday morning, January 29th, at 10 o’'clock.
