SHACK ELTON’S ATTEMPT TO
CROSS SOUTH POLE FILMED.
A movie of much interest. “The Bot
tom of the World,” depicting the at
tempt of Sir Ernest Shackleton to rp.aoh
the south pole, opens Sunday at the Ohio ;
for an indefinite engagement.
This is said to be a true pictorial ver- !
sion of Shackleton's dariflg attempt to
cross the south pole and a few of his
thrilling experiences are graphically <le
picted In “The Bottom of the World."
It was during this trip that Shackle
ton’s boat, "The Endurance." was
crushed by an ice field eight hundred
miles from the southernmost point of
civilization.
These pictures rre educational and at
the same time tell a thrilling story of
adventure which is said never to have
been equaled.
The scenes and adventures shown in
these movies are the real things and il
lustrate the use of the camera for edu
eatior.al aad scientific pruposes.
While these pictures are being shown
at the Ohio, Sir Ernest Shackleton is
on his way to the south pole region
again to finish the work which was halt
ed when his boat was destroyed in the
Ice fields.
The engagement opens Sunday at th"
Ohio.
AT THE REGENT.
“The Stranger.” a drama of the west,
will be the feature at the Regent for
the first four days of the week, start
ing Sunday.
Millard K. Wilson and Beatrice
LaPlante are the chief ones of the cast.
The story deals with the adventures
of a “silent man,” a stranger, who
moves from place to place apparently
bent on some mission.
He forgives a half-breed for killing his
dog by mistake.
The half breed becomes his friend and
directs him to a town nearby.
There many adventures follow, during
which a fight occurs. In addition to
the feature Snub Pollard is seen in one
of his latest comedies, "Call a Taxi."
ZAN'Z GREY’S NOVEL

‘‘Riders of the Dawn,” founded on the
novel, “The Desert of Wheat," by Zane
bins. Claire Adams,
Cluire Adams. Frank Brownlee,
Violet Schr-im, Frederick Starr, Arthur
Morrison and little Marie Messenger.
It depicts the adventures of Kurt-Born,
the role played by Roy Stew -t, who,
following his return from a vi . .-'a serv
ice in the army overseas, finds that a
gang of plunderers has been robbing
farmers in the neighborhood-of his home,
in the northwest wheat bplt.
Kurt organizes a band of night riders
and he is elected as the leader.
Despite the efforts of the night riders,
however, the plunderers continue.
Among the farmers who has been a
prey to the gang is Tom Anderson, whose
daughter, Leonore. had promised Kun
to marry him and remained faitbfnl de
spite the efforts of Henry Neuman, a
young lawyer, to win her over.

largest and most-important season in th®
history of that house, according to Nel
son Trowbridge, the manager.
IXefinite announcement has not been
made by Manager Miller of the opening
attraction at English's, but it Is under
stood the season will formally open on
Labor Monday.
Also on I-sbor day B. F. Keith's will
open Us season of big time vaudeville
with the house completely redecorated
and some stage improvements made.
It Is understood that the uew Loew
vaudeville house will open not later than
the Ist of liecember.
Definite plans of tho opening of the
Park season have beeu announced In this
space.
Tho Rialto, the Broadway aud the
Lyric will continue their ’ programs of
popular vaudeville without any Inter
ruption.

Still Open and the
Best Place to So for Olean Fun
melodrama which comes next week in
"Opportunity.”
Tho latter ia a Willism A. Brady pro
duction. and this production runs true
to form.
He soeks to bring his play to Broad
way before bis rivals can bring "Tomor
row's Price," said to bo built around
the same theme.
It may be recalled that last season
there was n similar rush to forestall each
other in producing mystery melodramas
with tho result that Mr. Brady and Mr.
Broadhurst ran almost a dead heat in
“At 9:45” and "The Crimson Alibi.”
“Tho Crimson Alibi,” It may be re- 1
cniled, was adapted from the mystery
story of Roy Octavus Cohen.
This same gentleman introduced
through the kindness of Mr. Broadhurst,
another play last week in "Come Seven.”
The present offering is an original con.,
edy built from one of the author’s stor
les in that Philadelphia publication
which still carries the face and features
of the Into Benjamin Franklin at Us
innst head.
The stage characters are all of African
race, not a white face character appear
ing during the entire performance.
This is not exactly original, but It Is
Interesting and should prove far more
amusing than It did.
The fault was largely with the casr.
There are many "stage negroes” In ex
istence, but few ring true,
Luclie Laverae, happily cast in “Corns
Seven.” U one of them.
Arthur Aylesworth as a shiftless hus
band, was unctuous, and Charles W.
Vcyer gave a clever creation, but there
after the credit left for distribution goes
to Mr. Broadhurst, for his part in mak
ing tho production, and Lilliam Trimb,*
Bradley for her intelligence In staging it.
Gall Kane, the best known name in
th cast, was the greatest offender.
The Hues were amu-dng. and Mr. Cohen
brought his well developed and keenly
analytical pen into play and made many
of th** scenes interesting if the story did
not hold together well.
It was a simple and Ingratiating effort,
and while It will win distinction for no
one, it will afford a pleasant entertain
ment for hot summer nights, and there
promises to be many such.
