H 10 JOODIIN'S WEEKLY I " i7 Nighters I (1 j II vjj HERE are In re- n II m (T aIIty two l)llls at 1 111 m. J tho Orpheum. H 111 III this week, one H III the war pic- H Illte'TLarF -----s, tures, the other H the real vaude- H ville bill, and were the two presented H in different houses the audience in B each -would come away satisfied. H The picturs showing the retreat of fl the Germans at the battle of Arras H are the greatest pictures ever shown H upon the screen for these films are H not made to order. There is no di- H rector. There are no poses. But H there are scenes unfolded such as H have never before been seen in his- H tory. The pictures have been cen- B sored, in that most of the grew some H horrors of the battlefield are elimi- B nated, but the awfulness of war as it H is now being waged is shown in the H hail of giant shells from the monster H guns, in charge of the infantry, in the H maneuvering of the tanlcs, those great H land battleships, in the rain of H bombs from the sky as they are H dropped by the flying machines every- H thing in the method of modern war- H fare is 'seen. These war pictures H have never been equaled, probably H 'never will be produced again, for H when this Avar is ended and the prin- H ciples for which it is being waged pre- H vail throughout the world, there will H be no opportunity for the taking of H such pictures as these. B As to the vaudeville bill. Practi- H cally everything presented is new. H Every act is good and, what is more, H every act is pleasing and all are H laugh producers. M The Three Bobs in their juggling fl act with Indian clubs present a num- H ber of new features. They are real jugglers. They introduce a dog in H their stunt who is as clever as them- M selves. The Eithopean Travesty, the M Crime Hunters, in which the 'sleuths fl of comedy," Willard and Wilson ap- pear, furnishes many hearty laughs, B although the travesty could be im- M proved by shortening it. m Chester Spencer and Lola Williams ' present a stunt that is more than J clever in "Putting It Ovor" Spencer 1 is delightfully funny his humor is of H the kind that catches. He is ably as H sisted by his pretty partner. "Rock M ing the Boat" is a medium forEva B Taylor, 'Lawrence Grattan and com mit! "pany to keep the big audience laugh !" 'ing throughout the entire act and one does not tire of the presentation. In his own peculiar way Joe Towle pre K! sents an entertainment that is out of K' the,- ordinary. He is seconded by a B I piano upon which he does a musical M stunt. He Is so pleasing that the au B dience is loath to let him retire. I In kilts and tartans, with pipes and drums, with dance and song as is done in these days of Bonnie Dundee, Jack Wyatt, always a favorite with Salt Lakeis, and his capable company pleasantly conclude the bill that is well worth seeing. PANT AGES ' VJHERE is a "Jass Band" at Pan- tages this week, a comedy on wheels, which is whole show by itself. Charley Abeam and his company pre sent It. The title ig "Everything on Wheels" and this title means exactly what it says. Laugh producer? Yea, and then some. It is like a rapid-fire gun as a fun-maker. Ahearn is a fa vorite witli Salt Lake audiences, for he always brlngt something new with him and in his latest stunt he has excelled all of his others. With him is an ex ceptionally good company. There is music and lots of it. There are dances that are whirlwinds. There are bicycle stunts that are more than clever. "Everything on Wheels" is a real headliner. Uelson and Nelson have a comedy and acrobatic act that is out of the ordinary and furnishes some real sur prises. In a breezy patterlogue in "Aboard for Abroad," Harry Godfrey and "Veta Henderson elicit many a hearty laugh. Both are exceptionally clever. Delightful vocal music is rendered by the Gulliana Trio. They are op eratic singers and their solos and trios were admirably given. "The Midnight Scene" in "A Rag time Cocktail," in which Eddie Kane and Jay Herman appear, reproduces night life in New York City in a stir ring carousal. It is aided by stage effects which show the "sky line" of the metropolis. The eighth episode of the "Fatal Ring," featuring Pearl White, is filled with thrills. To speak of Pantages without mentioning the music by the orchestra under the direction of Geo. C. Gronneman would be like referring to pie without anything between the ., crusts. LIBERTY JjHEFIVE VIOLIN BEAUTIES at ""'V the Liberty this week are a ver satile quintette. ' Besides being artis tic violinists, theyrare exceptional en- . teitainers via the melody, dancing and comedy route. They would bo a credit to any high-priced attraction, but the Liberty only charges ten and twenty cents for this big feature. Jack Case furnishes a laugh for every second he, is on the stage.
