Big Program for the Fourth, Charles Ham
rnons to Sing at Evening Performance,
List of Photoplays to be Shown Next Few
Days.
In addition to the feature picture pro
gram, matinee and evening at the Cofoma
on Thursday evening, at 8.30 Charle.
Hammons will sing, ‘If He Can Fighl
Like He Can Love, Good Night, Ger
many,” one of the best of irecent popula,
songs. The pictures include Bushman &
Bavne in a five part Metro play. The
Brass Check,” Mr. and Mrs. Sidney
Drew in a Metro comedy and a Paramount
Pictograph and Cartoon. In The Brass
Check” Francis X. Bushman and Beverly
Bayne do some of the finest work of then
brilliant careers. The story revolves
around the adventures of Richard Trevor,
son of a crooked financier, who imprisons
an inventor in an insane asylum to obtain
his formula for a rubber substitute. The
inventor’s sister, Edith, hires a detective
agency to help her free her brother. The
detective meets with an accident, and
the note of anguished appeal and instruc
tions on his person, from Edith, together
with a brass check for a suit-case which
is at the Grand Central Station in New
York, falls into the hands of Richard
Trevor. Unaware of his father’s part in
the case, Richard claims the bag and goes
to Edith’s aid. What befalls the young
adventurer and Edith, who supposes him
to be the detective, makes one of the
most sparkling, spontaneous picture com
edies of the year.
Sessue Hayakawra, the popular Japan
ese actor in Paramount pictures is appear
ing Friday in “The Honor of his House, '
a Paramount picture in which several ol
the scenes were taken in Hawaii. The
story is supposed to develop in one of the
smaller and more remote of the islands
of the Pacific. Florence Vidor, who re
cently appeared with Hayakawa in The
Secret Game,” is the leading woman n
this photoplav while others in the casl
are Jack Holt, Maym Kelso, Forest Sea
bury and Tom Kurahara. The story anc
its screen version were written by Marior
Fairfax, while William C. DeMille was
the director. The island scenes are par
ticularly beautiful, aud the gowns worr
bv Miss Vidor in the latter part of the
photoplay will appeal to feminine love o(
finery One of the James Montgomery
Flagg comedies of “The Girls You Know
series and the Animated Weekly will be
included Friday. *
Billie Burke’s next appearance will be
Saturdav in the paramount picture
“Eve's Daughter” from the play by
Alicia Ramsay, which was originally pro
duced starring Grace George. It depicts
a girl. Irene Simpson-Bates, who chafes
at ti e galling restraint placed on her by
her wealthy father from whom she inher
its a strong will, and who, at his death,
takes all the small fortune he left her and
squanders it. in “one good time.” How
she 'S very nearlv lured to an elopement
and saved by her father’s old lawyer wh
has always loved her, makes a thrilling
story Miss Burke wears some gorgeous
frocks and has added many new and
charming touches to her work, always so
full of “Burkeisms,” such as the quickly
lifted chin and birdlike toss of the head
which has endeared her to thousands.
The supporting cast, including Thomas
Me.gnan, William Riley Hatch, Florence
Flynn and others, is worthy of being
called “all-star,” and does some excel
lent work in support of Miss Burke.
With the forthfoming presentation at
our theatre Monday next of “Believe Me,
Xantippe,” the picturization of the fa
mous stage success of five years ago,
starring Wallace Reid, with Ann Little,
we do not hesitate to assure our clientele
that this is one of the finest photoplays
ever shown at our playhouse.
The story of “Believe Me, Xantippe”
is based upon the famous play of the
same name by Frederick Ballard and it
has to do with the adventures of a
wealthy New York clubman who makes a
wager of *20.000 that he can commit a
crime and elude the police for a year. At
the end of eleven months he is captured
by a voung woman, the daughter of a
Colorado sheriff, after she had heard his
chance remark in response to her question
whether he is hungry, “Believe Me Xan
tippe 1 am.” What happened thereafter it
would be unfair to you to reveal at this
iitTiP
Tuesday’s feature attraction will be
the virile star William S. Hart in his
most recent success, “The Cold Deck”
which will add greatly to his popularity.
Also on Tuesday will be shown a Mutt
and Jeff cartoon and the Current Events.
“Blue Jeans,” the seven-reel Metro pro
duction in which Viola Dana stars, is a
regular country life story replete with all
the characters familiar to the farm and to
the small suburban village. It carries
with it the atmosphere of David Harum
with the quaint Hoosier speech immor
talized in the titles. The picture brings
out the tones of the entire keyboard of
human nature from the ridiculous to the
sublime. A genuine old-fashioned county
fair and political rally is shown in “Blue
Jeans ” The members of the “village
band” with their antiquated instruments,
are led by Miss Dana as June, dressed to
represent a drum major, baton in hand.
When Clifford Bruce, as Ben Boone, the
political rival of Perry Bascom, (Robert
Walken begins his speech, the little drum
major gives the signal for a “blare of
music,” to drown his words and give her
favorite a better chance. Thw exhibit
hall of an old-fashioned county fair is
shown, fitted with booths, platforms for
the rival candidates, bandstand, and cider
booth, and decorated with American llags,
ears of corn and other farm products.
W’ith farmers, village belles, and awk
ward country bumpkins, the scene is a
most picturesque one, and contributes
largely to the quaint effect of the screen
version of Joseph Arthur’s famous “thril
ler.” Blue Jeans” is the big attraction
for Wednesday next.
