THE Hippodrome's offering this
week is a very excellent musical
comedy which Is rich in song
and dance and a number of prettty women.
The comedy element of The ,
Roseland Maids Is In the hands of car
pable players and the audiences which
greeted the production so for this
wws w?ih euuiusmsuc mm gave conclualvo
evidence of being well pleased.
There will be a change of bill tomorrow
and also another on Friday. Last
night's bill will be repeated at both
performances tonight
Howe's Travel Pictures will be
shown at the Grand tomorrow. ,
Virginia Abbott, the newly appointed
manager of the Dixie Theatre at
Mannington, Is confined to her home
In this city by a severe illness.
Hank Mann, who Is at the Nelson today
in "Chased Into Love," is known
as the most accurate man in motion
picture comedy work. Every morning
before putting on his make-up, Mr
Mann even counts the hairs in his
mustache, to be sure that It will show
no change during the progress of the
picture.
From rather a sordid beginning
which depicts the brutality of a father
in the slums of the East Side of New
York and In which a lltttle girl and her
Btm smaller orotner uecome waits,
"The Right Direction," at the Grand
today, develops Into one of the cheeriest,
most whimsical and impossible
little tales of the broad highway that
could be devised. It Is a delight from 1
the moment tltat Polly, otherwise MIbs
Martin, starts with I3111y (Baby Jack
White) for far-away California. Her
equipage Is a baby carriage and on
the way she picks up a tramp dog and
a human tramp, both of whom she befriends.
She flnallv reaches her destinations
by varied means of travel,
saves the life o' a mine owner. Is Involved
In a mine strike and finally wins
the love of the rich man's son.
MIbs Martin is exquisitely youthful: j
In all her acting she never once sug-;
gests anything approaching maturity.
She is ably seconded by the baby I
player and by Colin Chase, Herbert j
Standing. Alfred Hollingsworth. and
Billy Mason. The exterior scenes In 11
the hayfields and along the road West, j
and the mining Interests, are unusual
ly fine. Some nature touches showing !
n hen and her haystack neat, the dog
"Rags"?a most admirable canine with \
an all but human countenance?are introduced
with telling effect. Photography
and lighting are of the best.
