to his weeks of labor in an effort to
make this show one of the best
amateur undertakings ever planned

t heatrical ‘and financial success. One

teur stage undertakings in this vi

Aa interlocutor John W. Kelly
will surely make a real hit. The
water commissioner performs like a
veteran in anything he undertakes,
sports, politics, theatricals or busi
ness.
Sixty people comprise- the cast for
the second part of the show, a
sketch, tlie scene of which is a tea
room in Greenwich Village. In this
part also stars of former stage suc
cesses in this section will take part.
Mrs. Stanley Rostkowski, Mrs.
Thomas Christopher, the Misses
Mary Lewis a nd Marie Pavese, and
James Murray. Several of the late
«ong hits are included among the
musicr/ numbers for this half of the
program.
Between the first and second acts
there is a specialty in which Peter
Fimiani and Gertrude Trimley. as
sisted by Victor Ricci at the piano,
take part. The Trimley girl is ten
years old but she is already attract
ing considerable attention as a re
sult of her singing ability. In this
specialty number there will be a
nuihber of the latest song hits ren
dered.
Harry McDermott is chairman of
^dhe committee in charge of this af
Hftfnir. and with John J. Brennan,

THEATRES
At the Stttiinl Theatre
Cedarvhb is a little village typical
i>f thousand* all over the United
Kta*es, *1 not the world. There is
hardly a cnniu'uni'y ott the globe
which has not had its troubles caused
by the influences that brought about
the downfall of Jut: Morgan in this
story. There is scarcely a home per
haps which has not had its Joe Mor
gan who hao lalleii from grace and
ha* been the indirect means of the
death of his little girl and has been
called to a sense of his duty by the
loss of the child. Probably it would
not be stretching it to say that there
is not a fanv.ly in the world that has
not gone through ho experiences of
Joe and Fanny Morgan, the young
married people in this story.
»So for heart-interest it would be
hard to imagine any picture compar
ing with "Ten Nights in a Barroom"
in this respect. While it is true that
people go to the motion picture
theatres to be entertained, they like
to i>ee something true to life and this
story is true to life as it has been
.lived on his earth for thousands of
years. Men are fa’Mble and sinful
but seldom Is a mar beyond the hope
of reden ption if the right influences
are brought to bear upon him and in
this case it is the. influence of his
dead child which brings about the
redemption of Jo'. Morgan. Joe Mor
gan goes to the bad and Joe Morgan
comes beck; all through the influence
of his little girl\ In this great phot
odrama thi* lesson is driven homo
very emphatically and people who
go to see the picture will be made
conscious of this fact without being
bored by It. Nobody will see "Ten
Nights in a Barroom" without being
the better for it. It has this great
aspect of scr en offerings; that every
body knows what to expect when
they go to ?ee the picture, hut they
ire not suffic iently versed in the ways
of the screen to know just how it is
wotked oilt. This big picture will be
