Louis L. Gottschalk has completed

second Mayflower production for
the First National, "In the Heart of
a Fool." The story is by William
Allen White. j
' Edith Roberts' next Universal pic

Suburban houses will be dark to

parade.
A machine has been invented that
makes a paper barrel every 20
seconds from a roll of paper six
inches wide, which is split, gummed
and automatically formed.
A 8 a Kansas City young-ster and stare
extra' Grace La Rue now marring
In "Dear Me" at the Brandela
theater, this week, came under the ob
servation of Julia Marlowe, who remem
bered the youthful westerner after her
elevation Into a sinking part In "The
Tourists." On Miss Marlowe's recommen
dation, Miss La Hue studied diction with
the coach who had instructed MIbs Mar
lowe herself and Maude Adams as welL
This line of Wudy proved of great bene
fit to the young singer. Miss La Rue's
delivery of words both sung and spoken
has been compared favorably with Pa
Wolf Hopper's who Is considered a stand
ard In the dramatic field for clear and
telling enunciation.
Ak-Sar-Ben visitors are thronging the
Orpheum at every performance. The bill
is beaded by the liveliest sort of musical
revue, "The Spirit of Mardl Oraa." Hilari
ty Is distributed by the Jai orchestra of
six Instrumentalists. There Is an array
of singers and dancers, chief of whom Is
Amelde Victoria. Then there Is a mys
tery act. How can a girl of S pounds
assume the weight of 300 pounds? This
she 'does. No man can lift her, She
challenges any man In the audience to
step upon the stage and raise her off her
feet. On parade days the Orpheum per
formance will start as soon as the pro
cession passes the theater.
Concluding performances will be given
of the show at the Empress, which haB as
its featured attraction the comedy satire,
"Oh. What a lay." from the pen of
Jack Lait. It Is seldom a tenor in vaude
ville chooses his songs and presents them
as does William Smythe, the lyric tenor.
The most laughable offering 'of the bill
Is that contributed by Hugo Lutgens, the
Swede Blllv Sunday." while Time and
Tile present a splendid comedy cycling
act.
Ed. Lee Wroth and his "Best Show" are
making a successful bid for laughter at
the Oayety theater all week. The come
dian-star is seen again In a series of ad
ventures which have for their central
figure, "Htgglns," which he has mads a
burlesque classic. Matinee dally all week.
Tonight's curtain will not rise until after
the parade has passed.
FIske O'Hara opens an engagement of
eight nights and two matinees at the
uranaela on Sunday next. In Mm new Dlav.
"Springtime In Mayo," In three acts, writ
ten by Anna Nichols Duffy. It theme
Is said to be fresh, wholesome, real and
untheatrtc. Mr. O Hara will have a num
ber of new songs which ha will sing In
nis usual ertective manner.
First Ak-Sar-Ben Parade
Is Depicted in Pictures
Colored pictures showing the first
Ak-Sar-Ben parade are on display
in a Show window in the First Na
tional bank building on Sixteenth
street, just south of rarnam street.
The floats of 1895 were horse-
drawn, and far less spectacular than
the electric pageant of today. The
animating idea of the celebration
was indicated by a float entitled
"The return of -prosperity." The
conquest of the prairies, the elimina
tion of the grasshopper menace, and
the wealth of the harvest were de
picted. . Samson and all the maids
of jutvera were aboard.
What is more appealing to human sentiment than a child at prayer?
And doesnt this scene of old age and youth with folded hands, taken
from "The Jack-Knife Man" at the Rialto theater this week, bring home
memories of another day?
An innovation in the way of enter
tainment will be tried tonight when
the management of the Rialto the
ater will present an alright show.
Following the showuig of "The
Jack-Knife Man," after the electri
cal parade passes Sixteenth and
pouglas streets, Douglas Fairbanks
in "The Mollycoddle," will greet the
patrons of the Rialto. It will just be
Kthor of the second best jingle a

midnight when the Fairbanks smile
will take the Rialto screen. "The
Mollycoddle" will continue to be
shown Thursday, Friday and Satur
day. Jack Pickford, when he returns
from Europe, is to have his own pro
ducing company and personal studio.
His mother, Mrs. Charlotte Pick
