It N discussing th9 various changes
I that have come over the stage in
* recent years a representative of the
William A. Brady interests said that
probably "The Man Who Came Back"
-will be the last play to have an opium
den scene, that is with contemporary
interest. When this drama began its
run at the Playhouse in 1916, its third
act with the "effects" in a Shanghai
opium joint, was ostensibly a picture
of conditions as they existed. But the
opium trade received its death blow
. within the year, and at the beginning
of this ran it was officially stamped
out. The American Consul-General
in Hong Kong now reports: "The
-opium business has practically passed
out of the trade of the Far East." With
the French frowning upon absinthe,
the Russians prohibiting the consumption
of vodka, and the Chinese stamping
out the opium curse, the supply of
dramatic material is considerably lessened.
especially for those plays which
depict the struggles of a prodigal son.

This attraction has been strbngly advertised
by the management, and judging
by its size and the quality of the
show, which has been vouched for by
many local people who saw the production
In other cities recently, and
the comparative low price at which it
will be presented, its engagement here
will be attended by big business. The
program of the show was printed in

from it one can get a pretty good idea
of its size and character. At least nine
principals appearing on the roster are
well known musical comedy artists,
K - and with Gus Shy, himself, featured as
the leading comedian, there is sufficient
warranty in that alone, to predict
that this will be a record-breaking
event at the Hippodrome.
Several pcc'-'o from Fairmont saw
the show at Parkersbnrg last week and
stopped In at the theatre yesterday to |
congratulate Manager Fisher upon his J
enterprise in bringing a show of this
magnitude to Fairmont for presentation
at popular prices. Speaking of the
. various features of Razzle Dazzle all
were enthusiastic in their praise of the
Apache dance, the Dlack-face comedy
?f Dan Roby. the work in various de"
paxtments of Mr. Shy. Bunny Martin's
exquisite dancing, the saxaphone trio;
K .the Jazz orchestra, the Tobasco Ocjtette,

opinions of those who saw the attraction.
One enthusiastic admirer of
Razzle Dazzle declared that Dan Roby
' was a regular Neil O'Brien and burst
into laughter when he attempted to

over the country ror his ability in setting
up lavish productions.
Big Dramatic Play at?rand Tonight.
"The Man Who Came Back," which
comes to the Grand Theatre tonight,
is by Jules Eckert Goodman, founded
on a short story by Jchn Fleming Wilson
and produced ay William A. Brady,
and outlasted all of its competitors in
j New York. There seems to be no limit
! to the number of people who want to
see the progress of this young man
I w>?o maVofl "his. xcav from hin father's
home down to the very depths in a
I Chinese opium den, and from there,
| with the help of a girl, back again
to his father's home. Each week the
Playhouse in New York was crowded
and were it not for the fact that Grace
George and her repertoire company
had to have the theatre, Mr. Brady
would have kept "The Man who Came
Back" there indefinitely.
William Crowell will continue in
the play tonight to "tome back" over
the same route which was begun in
New York in September, 1916, and over I
which young "Potter* has been "coming
back" ever since-. There will be in
the company with him. the following
cast: Dorothy Bernard,/T,evinia Shannon,
Alice Lorrain'; S. B. Hamilton.
Harry Sleight. William Blaisdell and |
others.
Vaudeville Ends at Hipp Tonight.
The four-act vaudeville hill which I
the Hippodrome offered its patrons
the first three days of the week ends
with the two performances tonight.
The addition of the ve. satile European
novelty artists, Viola LaRado and Jim
Hughes in original bits of vaudeville :
and amusing gymnastic feats, has j
strengthened the bill wonderfully. This :
act was omitted fiom the Monday j
c"hr?Txr nn urmnnt of dplavpd trains and
the big jump the pair made to get here.
The act consists of some decidedly
clever bag-punching stunts by Mr.
Hughes and acrobatic feats of much
merit by Miss La Ratio. Some unique
bits of contortion ate also introduced"
by the lady and last night's audiences
applauded the act with vigorous handclapping.
Elizabeth Miller appeared again last
night in another change of costume

Daniel Gilfeather in Delightful Role.
The Nelson is today showing a Falcon
feature, "His Old Fashioned Dad."
which besides being a good story has
the added value of a charming bit of
character acting by Daniel Gilfeather,
the "delightful old man of the screen,"
who assumes the title role.
Silas Morton, an old-fashioned doctor.
makes all magnet of sacrifices to
send his son through college, but when
he finds his backward ideas stand in
the way of his son's success he decides
to disappear. In a-i automobile accident,
he changes cards with a dead
man and his family collects his insurance
which is sufficient to enable the
son to become a great doctor and redeem
himself in the eyes of Nettie
Wright. The widow, who lives alone,
has a fear of tramps which becomes
an obsession, and when the old doctor
wanders home, shoots through the
door, only to discover she has killed
the husband she thought dead.
Lew Fields in "The Corner Grocer."
"The Dixie today has scheduled
"The Corner Grocer." a picture whicn ;
relies upon heart interest more than
action for its appeal, introduces Lew
Fields in a role on which falls the
whole burden of entertaining the spectator.
Consequently one's attention
turns to the work of Mr. Fields, and.
which is not unreasonable to suppose, :
becomes fastened Jicre.
He assumes the character of the pro- J
prictor of a small grocery store who, by |
honest and individual care of cus-'
tomers, builds up a profitable -patron.

"Sunshine Alley" at Princess.
Most of the interest-found in "Sun- !
shine Alley" centers around the appeal-1
ing personality of Mae Marsh, for the 1
story, though of a pleasing nature, is
of rather frail structure and would lose
much of its plausioiiity had its leading
role been enacted by a less magnetic
person than Miss Marsh. Her clever
acting and ever interesting and mobile
face hold the attention of the audience j
throughout the five reels. The direc- ,
tion is of an excellent character and !
the photography, too. lives up to the j
Goldwyn standard. As the chief characters
in the picture are the proprie- i
tors of an animal snap, there are many
enjoyable scenes in which birds, parrots.
monkeys, cats and dogs supply '
the amusement. And it is in these
scenes that the charm of "Sunshine
Alley" is found.
