\J FKONTROW " HEADUNER8 TONIUM i. W Hippodrome The Mas Next Door I Nelson.... .The Poppy Girl's Husband Dixie It's a Bear ? Princess Some Bride fl. '"TpRDE-TO-COLOR projection on the I screen has made in the last few months marvelous progress as to. i, was demonstrated at the Dixie theatre V. this morning when R. R. Gilchrist, a J | representative of the Prisma oompany, L,*: gave a private showing of one of their P7" recent releases. Black and white In various tones has been all .the movie Steamers has been able to record thus si?, far, practically all colored pictures & shown having been tinted by a sepaEHfe rate process. This delay in the comll&iPtetlenof the picture, and the lnaccujE racy of the results obtained are all S?,;done away with in the Prisma process of rtim making, and the opinion of ?P'' those who saw the film today Is that Sk* the last great accomplishment In mov. , Ing pictures Is just about realized. The T beautiful Catlllna Islands off the coast xp' of California was the subject, and It ?f-> was. very vividly presented on the Ml screen* The flags on the vessels gave mt one a very good Idea of how nearly I;; ..exact the color reproduction was. The ? - most Interesting part of the reel was r- 4 the nndersea lite oft the Islands. The "&<. pictures were taken through glass, of course, nut tne results were wonaer' fully nice. All kinds of fishes and trance water life were shown, and the colors were brought out perfectly. " Just how much better the product will be later, is uncertain, but the present degree of success has been attained only through a long series of costly ex_ peri men ts. The finished product as one would expect is much more costly ~than the black and white films coBtinc about 87 cents per foot while the - ordinary films cost only 5 cents per -foot. Much Interest has been aroused -by the showing and the Woman's clrb is arranging for a special showing tomorrow at 12:45. Cards will not be issued but all members of the club will ^ "be admitted free. Aeroplane Flight Big Feature. "Buster Brown" furnished no end of fun last night ait the first showing at the Hipp. It is really a four part show, Buster, Schultz the grocer, the policeman and the minister having all the work. Everyone knows there Isn't any plot, it's all an unconnected series ot happenings in which Buster Brown is the attraction because of his inordinate desire to raise Cain all the time. This part which is the life of the show is taken by Pern DeLacey, and she is a RCTftam. It was her favorite r.har . vBcter when she formerly was on the yki*,ge, and she seemingly has grown 'hatter all the while. Billy Malone was just light as the policeman, who found it easy to take's nibble of about everything in the store .and cap the climax | by eating the evidence. Instead ol drinking It, a lltle habit that Is in' dulged In off the stage as well as on. Mr. Lamar, the new member of the I. company, had the extreme pleasure 01 playing storekeeper last night, and he i ' ' is excellent. Russell Henrlcl as the minister had a unique character that was responsible for oodles of fun. "Whether the hymn books which leaked ont of the express package ran up hill or not, there Is no denying that the minister slipped down the stage steps in front, much to the delight of the audience, and the discomfiture of the parson who no doubt Is applying Sloan's liniment today to the spot fc, where It will do the most good. Ruth Ik (Dale and Marie Kruger had the song f numbers, the latter closing the number with a trio, Kruger, Day and Lamar, which was chock full of harmony, and wont, nvor woll Ttin wool foot"? ? the evening was the aeroplane flight ot little June Henrlci which took place immediately after the first show. The -efficient stage corps at the Hipp had ^Constructed a plane which was lowered from the wings, and the little avlatrlx placed In it The house was darkened i and only a little flash light Illuminated her pretty countenance as she sang It1 Mother O' Mine" while her aeroplane Swung about over the footlights. Really It required a lot of nerve, but that seems to be the little star's middle same, and she got. as much pleasure out of the performance as did a host of friends that were there expressly to See her. As the curtain came down, the applause was deafening, and It went .up for the encore. Dick Grady declares he got so Interested watching her he forgot to play, but that didn't f:v make any difference, little June sang, unaccompanied in perfect pitch, and k'' again got a good hand. She Is going ^ to make the (light again tonight, and - Saturday night, and for the benefit of the little folks who will be at the matlV - see Saturday, she will give an exhibits, tlon. v Comedy at Dixie. .The Triangle five-reel special, "It's /a Bear," featuring the popular film yf Taylor Holmes, at the Dixie, beto that clean comedy type which ' Is' always welcome and sometimes -hard to find. Its character is princlI pally Western, and what It lacks in tho L : side-splitting quality Is due to con| ' structlon and directing.
