THEATRES
Burlesque for .Mil Jest I'!
That famous ami genuinely funny
comedian. Hilly Watson, assisted by
these exceptionally clever comedians.
Clarence Wilbur (the original "Gro
gan”) and Andy Smith, will be the
.. I f firkn nt thfi M.'Hefitie tllCatr©
next .Monday.
Hilly Watson’s offering this sea- !
son, the "Rig Show,” Is described as
a shower of comedy, a deluge of pret
ty girls exquisitely gowned and a
wonderful panorama of sensational j
effects.
The cast includes besides those al- I
readv mentioned, Billy Lynch, Chas. j
Smith, the Carnival Trio. Beatrice
Harlowe. Mr. Watson has engaged
for next week only, the Morette Sis- .
tors, the most sensational act on |
the American stage. Don't fail to |
see tlio "Bashful Venus.”
Great Show Coming to Dltmas
"The Old Nest.” a Reginald Barker
production offered by Goldwyn,
which comes to the Ditmas theatre,
ail next week is perhaps the richest
picture in personalities that has
been placed before the public in
many a season. The story and the
scenario were written by Rupert
Hughes the direction was handled
by Reginald Barker, and the cast in
cludes the following players: Mary
Alden. Cullen Landis. Louise Lovely.
Helene Chadwick, the famous "Ed
gar” children. Johnny Jones. Buddy
Messenger and Lucille Ricksen;
Maurice R. "Lefty” El.vnn, Molly
Malone, Richard Tucker, Nick Cogley
Dwight Crittenden and several
others. , ...
The size of the cast Is explained
by the fact that the story starts when <
^■
he majority of the players are still
hildren and follows them through
he various stages of their growth,
iifford Robertson. Goldwyn casting
irector. declares that ‘The Old Nest’
ave him the greatest problem that
le has ever had to solve. Besides
btainlng talented players he had to
onsider the necessity for correct re
omblance between the child actors
nd the adults.
William Farnum at Crescent
Once again the Crescent theatre
t showing another of the famous
Villiam Farnum photoplays. There
5 hardly a man. woman or child in
his city who is not acquainted with
tills famous actor of the screen,
who Is always seen In pictures of
real life that thrill you from the
time the first picture is shown until
the final fadeout.
In his latest picture, "His Great
Sacrifice.” Farnum is at his best, as
he goes from one scene to the other,
you will watch him with Intense in
terest for it is cne of those pictures
that you will remember for months
to come and not the hind that only
impresses you for the minute.
William Farnum has made many
great pictures, but the concensus of
opinion of those who have seen this
production seems to be that none
has been stronger than this.
Coniine to Majestic
"Mutt and Jeft In Chinatown” Is
the title of a brand new play coming
to the Majestic theatre on Wednes
day September 21, with the custom
ary matinee. The piece, which per
mits unwonted sway of the antics of
this quaint and inimitable pair, is
in two acts and six scenes. The ac
tion is said to be spirited and fast
moving from start to finish, provid
ing plenty of opportunities for real
comedy, music, pretty girls, innova
tions scenic embellishment, and lin
gering surprises. The heroes of Bud
Fisher's popular comics this time fig
ure in a series of new adventures
and side-splitting complications,
with the result that they are a joy
and delight from curtain to curtain.
The production and supporting cast
is commensurate with past achieve
ments and in some respects even sur
passes the best efforts of Mutt and
Jeff’s original sponsors on the stage.
Two Features at Dltmas
Regardless of how firmly fixpd In
a man's make up may be an inher
>nt desire to be scrupulously hon
jst, there is hardly a man who, if
t becomes necessary in order that
hose dear to him be rescued from
itarvation, would not set out to pro
cure food in spite of every law.
This situation is one of the big
ncidents that go to make up a
screen story known as "The Mother
Heart,” in which Shirley Mason,
netite William Fox star, will be
seen at the Ditmas theatre begin
ning today.
In "The Mother Heart” Miss
Meson enacts the daughter of a
man who stole in order that his
family might live, and details the
efforts of the girl to mother the lit
tle family, including a small baby—
their mother having died of a
broken heart at the time of the
father's arrest. It is said to be a
picture irresistibly sympathetic in
quality, and of course develops a
love romance incidentally.
The picture was directed by How
ard M. Mitchell.
Bert Lytell in “The Man Who,"
completes this wonderful program.
