A YOUNGER brother is just as troublesome as a younger sis ter, Nellie Jones learns, much to her disgust, in "A Virtuous Vamp," starring Constance Tal madge at the Strand theater today and until Saturday. Miss Talmadge, as Nellie Jones, plays the part of a girl who'innocently vamps everyone in. her office from the elevator boy to the cashier. On account of her ability as a stenographer, the presi dent of the company is reluctant to dismiss her. Instead, he takes her into his private office as his secre tary. He is proof against her wiles and she falls in love with him.' This is a new ailment for her, as her previous experience has shown her to be the "heartbreaker" instead of the "heartbroken." A brother be comes enraged because his sister is suffering from heartaches, and in sists her boss marry her. The man agement of the theater promises it to be one of the best pictures shown at the Strand. Rialto One of the most amazing air accidents in the history of avia tion forms the sensational climax o!" the photoplay. "The Grim Game," starring Houdini, the famous hand cuff king, which is being shown a the Rialto today and . Wednesday According to the story, Houdini, ji. an airplane is- pursuing a murderer, who is trying to escape in anothei machine. In the pursuit and by a sudden shift of the wind the. two machines became loclted, so close were they flying. They , dropped like rockets revolving nose on nose, the two aviators making frantic ef forts to control their machines. A few hundred feet from the ground, with both propellors gone, one of the airmen succeeded in falling into a glide, and, though the other crashed nose-on into a, field, the only injuries sustained were slight bruises." If you "want to be thrilled; see something different, then set Houdini in the "Grim Game." Sun Viola Dana in her taugh making screen attraction, "Please Get Married," which is being shown at the Sun this week, is crowding the house to its capacity. The farce is a riot of nighties and naughtiness, in which two innocent, and perfectly well-intentioned young people be lieve they are married and start on their honeymoon, only "then to find out their marriage ceremony was "phoney." Miss Dana as the timid and trusting young wife, does some of the best work of her career. The plot is very clever and ingeniously filled with surprises. ' Empress When west meets east, things are likely to happen, as they happened in "Eastward Hoi" a new William Russell photoplay that opened at the Empress theater for a four-day run. Russell as a big cattleman, loose in New York City, created many laughs and as many thrills, when with fist and gun he showed what a true man, unafraid, can do against the forces pf evil. Muse The stellar attraction at the Muse today, is entitled "Shad ows," starring Geraldine Far.ar. The story is simple in its fundamen tals and therefore strong in its ap peal. From life in New York to the frozen north the plot is laid; from the honored wife 'of a conser vative easterner to the plaything of brutal Jack McGoff of Alaska the story is woven. Don't miss this picture if you would see something different and better than the aver age. ' Moon Critics sometimes contend that photoplays are not always wholesome mental food for juvenile .uilimii'M Hnwever the "Tinx " star ring pretty Mabel Norraand, which is Deing snown at tne Moon meatcr, is a satisfying production vfrom the parental standpoint, for it is thor oughly clean and bright, and ' the funny situations are devoid of vul caritv masking as comedv. While the plot is laid around a traveling circus and an orphans home, tne grown-ups will find as triuchf per haps more, interest in the picture than the children. The "Jinx" will have its last showing at the Moon Wednesday.. , AT THE THEATER "T.ieten T.pRter " Tnlm Cort's musical comedy success, comes to the Brandeis-theater for an engage ment nextt Thursday, Friday and Saturday with special matinees.

' No show is more familiarly known on the big Columbia circuit than 'The Sightseers," now playing , at the Gayety as the Thanksgiving week attraction. One of the nov elties is a v phonograph shop in which the members of the beauty chorus are introduced as human rec ords.
