FAIR -TODAY AND PRCBABLY TOMORROW What Is Going On Tonight Vaudeville Auditorium, Moving Pictures at Colonlal Theatre. Vaudeville and Photoplays at Davis Theatre. ANNOUNCEMENTS THEDA BARA TO BE SEEN IN CARMEN IN NORWICH. William Fox Colossal Screen Produc- n at the Davis Theatre Today and Tomorrow—Also Three Big Keith Acts of Vaude: and Photoplays at the The announcement will be of great interest to lqcal theatre goers that they are to have the opportunity of wit- nessing the William _ Fox colossal screen production of Carmen with Theada Bara, the satanic sorceress of the screen in the role of the gypsy fiirt at the Davis theatre today and to- morrow. The William Fox produc- tion stands single supreme, inim- itable, and alone among achievements o7 the silent stage. This adaption of Prosper Merimee’'s novel has little in common with familiar conventional operatic and dramatic versions. It borrows nothing from custom or tra- dition in conception or execution. The services of a total of more than 5,000 ! persons wero _enlisted in its produc- tion. Entire Spanish cities with their castles, palaces, cathedrals, plazas, ! lakes, mountains and gorges are| ehown as are festas, the bull ring,| tribes of real Andalusian gypsies, coast | guards, smugglers, peasants, flower | girls, oragne sellers grandees, cara- vans, armies of soldiers and their harracks, prisons, cigarette factories, and the Cordcva baths. In fact, the entire production has been produced | on a scale just as elaborate as The | Birth of a Nation. o In addition to this gizantic feature there are three vaudeville acts on the | bill, and the headline attraction is! Mason, Wilbur, and Jordan, three men, in a novel comedy pantomine acrobatic offering called A Soidier’s Dream. Another good act is Helne, | Washburn and Geer, two men and a woman, who present a clever singing| and comedy act introducing some old ! time minstrelsy. The third act is Madelyn Shone and Co., a comedy singing and talking act that is differ- | ent from anything ever seen or heard here. With the adeville and fea- ture photoplays show that cannot be s country for the money. Pathe Scenic Colored pictures comedies complete the programme, Matinee at 2.1 ening at 6.45 and Tomorrow, New Year's day, there | wil be four compl shows, at 1.30,| 3.15, 6.45, and S. AUDITORIUM. Marguerite Clark in Unique Film! Characterization as “Helene of the| North,” Today and Saturday. Marguerite Clar] s latest screen ve- hicle, Helene of the North, presents| this dainty star in the most unique | characteri n she has vet assumed since her triumphant debut in motion pictures, under the manazement of the Famous Plavers' Film Co. This latest five-part feature on the Paramount | programme combines in a decidedly novel manner the cultured atmosphere | of aristocratic soclety circles with the ! Tugged envircnment of the trackless | tern Canada. ! extremes the uninterrupted | tween t drama swavs i fascination, and w er in the Ii less cr the rm, lux room, Marzuerite Clark is equal fective nd enchanting. the extr: ide from orizinal befinning a in the fashionable home of an English society lady, and developing from that shelfered spot into the open spaces of the Canadian woods, where a virile melodramatic plot ensues, culmi- | nating romaticaliy in the cosy corner | where the drama began. ! Included, in this diverzent contrast of scenery is' every emotion and_element of drama possible to a modern ro- mance. Fine pictorial effects have been obtained in scenes centering about the acgivities of -the Northwest- ern Mounted Police in their attempts | to capture the man whom Helene fears | as much as she loves the other man whom the former threatens. A splen- diq cast, including Conway Tearle, who | recently distinguished himself in sup- port of William Faversham in_ The| Hawk: Elliott Dexter, Frank Lossee, David Wall. who will be pleasantly re< membered for effective work in pre- ! vious Famous Plavers productions; 1da Darling and Bricham Boyce should make the preduction a memorial one. Three excellent vaudeville acts and Universal comedy reels will also be shown cn today's programme. COLONIAL THEATRE. Charlie Chaplin in “A Night at the Show,” Two Reels—A Big Scream. Charles Chaplin of the worn-out shoes and old clothes, appears today at the Colonial theatre in an entire new role in the sensational two-reel Essanay-Chaplin comedy entitled A ight at the Show. In this play Char- le doffs his old costume and appears in a respectable dress suit and silk hat. But even in this disguise it is impossible not to recognize the Chap- lin walk, the Chaplin capers, and the inimitable Chaplin mannerisms. He is Charlie Chaplin, whether in the garb of a hobo or a man or society. TkLis comedy proves conclusively that it is not Charlie’s makeup, funny as it h been considered, that endears Charlie to the photoplay public. His succes: lies deeper than that; it is personality, an individuality that is always found, no matter in what attire he appea ~And Chaplin loses none of his fun- niness; in fact critics who have watch- ed him at work on his newest piece of work, “A Night at the Show,” declare that he is funnier than ever, although a new Chaplin in a new role. His versatility is surprising and leads onc to wonder “what next?” in his line of funny antics. He is one wild scream from start to finish of this wild-fire comedy. Can you imagine him at tte theatre in an immaculate evening suit. when his enthusiasm and admirati for a glassic dancer leads him over footlight to the side of this alluring feminine? The show stops, as far as the regulation show is concerned, but a new one starts with Charlie in the spotlight. Don't miss it. The ‘Woman'’s Stare, a two reel Vitagraph, and The Fternal Feminine, two reel Selig, complete the bill. ‘The first 100 children paying fares to Saturday matinee will receive a tree box of candy. he | Clitus King Goes to Prison.

It was found that many of the pa- tients arriving at the hospital had such terrible wounds that they were unable to bear the pain, amd as the constant administration of opiates re- tarded their progress, it was decided Ly Colonel Griffiths to provide a bath ard where the bad cases could spend their entire time in the water. The water, which is kept flowing through the tub, is maintained at a tempera- ture of 100 degrees. By a sysem of slings, the patient lies on a rubber mattress with his entire body under water, only his head showing above the level of the bath. A casual ob- server passing through the ward would never know the patients were in a tub. The head is in sight, occupying an or- dinary pillow, and the figure seems to be covered by the conventional hospi- tal blanket. However, when the flap is opened the the body is seen to be sub- merged in water, but lying on a rub- Dber mattress, which is pronounced ab- soiutely comfortable by the patients. One patient, whose thizh had been ripped away by a shell, has been in a tub continuously for six weeks. Before ke was placed in the tub he said that he feared that he was going insane from the pain, but during his sojourn in the water he had not felt anything worse than the usual discomfort from long confinement in bed.
