At the Crescent on Monday
On Monday Manager Louis M
Granat of the Crescent theatre of
fers a big hdliday program conSiat
in" of five big vaudeville acts and
the feature picture. “A Man There
Was.” The program ts one of the
best offered at this popular photo
play and vaudevillo theatre. Some
idea of the big show may be obtained
from a glance at the vaudeville pro
gram which follows:
A Musical Satire, eight pe°P'e, five
men and three women, in wno s
the Gitl;” Rubevllle, comedy skit,
five people; Bill Browning, n an ori
ginal offering; Ward & Barton, com
edy musical act; The Bruces, comedy
barrel jumpers. The picture in con
nection with this program is one of
the great pictures of the year.
"Here is a picture play which not
only preserves the stvere profouncl
]y earnest character of Ibsen, but
ati the same time establishes a new
point of departure in the b^tory
of the filmed drama. No Vam-*
piros,” no insipid or unhealthy love
affairs no clowning, and yet a
drama' which holds the audience
nailed to their seats and does not
relax its grip on them until all is
OVO". _
