men are as eager as ever to risk their all in the lust for gold and that the trails they are traversing today are even worse than those the early Argonauts followed. The White Pass and the -Chilkoot Pass of '98 were as nothing compared to the trails over the Nazina Glacier in the Shushana rush, when for at least three days, men lived and traveled and risked their lives on a living, treacherous glacier. Great as were hardships which the prospectors Vent through, even greater were those encountered by the intrepid doctor in making his motion pictures, Wor often where the men had a trail to he had none to follow in reaching far distant points from which to photograph his companions in their struggles for foothold. The pictures, however, do not merely show the hardships, the gold prospector goes through, but they show as well the wonderful scenic beauties of the North, beauties so great that they rival those of Switzerland and Norway.

In this unique story this favorite actress pets nearer to the serious side of life than in any other play in which she has In fact, the role of Clytie iiogera is the only serious dramatic character she has ever essayed. The character is that of a society girl whose great ambition is to become a great novelist, and her flare for fiction leads her into strange places and stranger adventures. She is a desperate, hunted little creature laiown not to society ps ragraphers, but the police; recognized by the hardened crooks by whom she is accepted willingly lecause of her supposed facility in frafe-( racking.

This is the new Madge Kennedy in "The Danger Game," and the character of Chtie is assuredly a novel one for the erstwhile little wife to es-t-ay. Yet, despite the difficulties presented by the Miss Kennedy's art was never revealed to greater advantage and her personality dominates the play. As usual, she has been given a splendid supporting company and the settings are beautiful, while the play itself is one of the kind that makes a widespread appeal to all people. While is strong and absorbing, there is always comedy re-bef, which bobs tip at opportune times, nxaking the picture wholesome, refreshing and well worth seeing. In addition i lie programme will include plenty of other features that will prove of marked interest and of pleasurable aspect, not the least of which is ttie concert numbers by the Concert Orchestra.

Hobart and Frank Stammers, lyrics by tieorge V. Hobart, and music by Louis Hirsch. Co-starred with Weber 'acd Fields wiil be the beautiful Dolly Sisters, Rowcka and Yansvi, a company of twenty principals, and a typical Weberheldian chorus oi pretty dancing girls. It was forty-one years ago that Joe Weber and Iew Fields then each nine years old formed a partnership.

They remained continuously together from that time until PJ04, when they separated to become producers and actors at the head of their own organizations. In eight years later they reunited for what was known as the Weber and Fields Jubilee, employing at that tim several of the stars who had been associated with them at the old Weber and Fields Music Hall, at 20th street and Broadway. This included Lillian Russell. Fay Templeton, William Collier and various others. After this reunion, which was for some time at the Broadway and which included a tour of forty -nine cities in forty-fire days, they established a new Music Hall on 44th street, in New Y'ork, where they remained for a season.

The coming together again of Weber and Fields will be an interesting theatrical event. It will be the first time in their long career together that they have ever essayed a musical entertainment containing a real plot and story. 1 Iff -XL iH'i. if in wt -it city many times, chiefly in ingenue parts, and in her present role of the cattish sister-in-law, scores an unequivocal success. She has had much experience in stock with such well-known artists as Henrietta Crosman, Thomas Ross, Emma Dunn, William I ngersoll and Sarah Truex.

Says Miss Ballou: "Stock work is moat fascinating. Y'ou play so many different characters and get different angles on the same old questions and conditioife of life. -Yes, I love to act. My ideal is realized in the well-balanced company headed by Mr. Arnold Daly, for one receives such inspiration in playing with him.

Unlike most stars, Mr. Daly is busy helping you get all the comedy, er all the sympathy, out of the part you are playing.

Here's Patriotic Ardor That Counts Through the efforts of a joung Philadelphia sailor lad this city has preba-bly the most unique musical organization in the United States Service. It is the U. S.

N. R. Jazz Band, an organization composed exclusively of Philadel-phians, and each one a well-known musician. The conccptioii and organization of this band makes an jntercsting story. Before war was declared by the United States on Germany George Gocbel, son of a well-known physician on Columbia avenue, was a noted baritone singer and also an timoteur expert in wireless.

At his home he bad a fully-equipped station! and when at home spent his spare time at this station. When war came upon the country he enlisted in the navy. His proficiency as a radio expert caused hisas-signjnent as instructor' and he was detailed at the station here. On the eve of Thanksgiving last he was on his way to New Y'ork accompanied by L. A.

Ba-raldi, a well-known 'cellist, and William Kalitz, also well known as a violinist, members, of" the Rellevur-Stratford orchestra. On the trip Goebel persuaded them to join the navy. They did the next day and also brought with them Clarence A. Reber, a noted pianist, of this city. The day following Baraldi brought his brother, Hairy, to the recruiting station, and he.

too, joined the colors, and all of them entered the radio service. AidedT by Lieutenant Cadmus the boys organized their jazz band, and, knowing the navy branch of the Red Cross was in need of funds, they decided to give a concert and dance at the Be'le- To Keep Ybur Skin Free From Hairs j-V-. 1 Lincoln outwitted the slave dealers and helped a voung negro woman and her child to escape after she had been sold at auction.

This title is somewhat confusing, inasmuch as the picture is really one of the funniest and cleanest of comedies.

Mr Mastbaum is one of the most enthusiastic worker' for the success of the Third Liberty tioan as he was for the other two, and for all projects that will aid the gov ernment to win the war ior democracy, and he felt that such a representative gathering of the best people of Philadelphia as attend the Stanley would be more enthused as to what is ex pected of them if they were to received some reminder that would be practically permanent. Hence he selected the handsome btodge which wiil "be given to every one who is present at any performance during the coming six days. The badge is not only a patriotic but will niake a delightful addition to the walls' of den or livinr room for it is really a work of art." 1 of the Baiser, his insanity, the sinking of the Lusitania, the rape of Belgium; in fact, all tile vital points are touched, 11 leading to the finale which alone is visionary, showing the Kaiser as a prisoner. It is a rase of Germany and the Germans as they really are and the facts as we-lded together make the most interesting story ever screened. It is to the effect that the Kaiser is struck down by Prussian pt'ficer who had been insulted by him.

Whatever effect the blow may have had on the Kaiser's head, he phingea the whole world into war; Lou-vain is sacked; the Lusitania is sunk; the commander of the submarine goes insane; President Wilson declares war, and finally the Kaiser is taken prisoner itid tlv blacksmith of Lou vain becomes his jailor. The behavior of the German troops in Belgium, the trials of the family and his efforts in defense; the council, chamber of the Kaiser and lu's staff; in fact, every scene is historically true save for the ending where ihe Allies are triumphant and that is hut advancing history a bit. The cast is so large and so effective that it would be injustice to single any one out.

VICTORIA For two weeks, beginning tomorrow, this theatre will tiler one of the most unusual" and remarkable pictures that have ever been shown in this city. It is entitled "Tarzan the Apes" and was adapted from the story of the same name by Edgar Rice Purroughs. It transfers to the screen s-venes which make one wonder how it nild have been possible to stage them, nd is a picture that no lover of screen rovelty and excitement will want to miss.

I departing from the fixed policy of the rouse, Manager lrank Buhler states that two weeks will positively be all that will 1-e given to the showing of the film. reminds one strongly of Mow-the boy in Kipling's first jungle book, except that Mowgli is raised by the wolves and Tarzan by apes. There are said to be many well authenticated cases of children raised by animals and becoming imbued with the characteristics of the boasts rather than humans. The story begins with the departure for Africa of ord and J-adv Grevstock. there is a mutiny on the ship, the captairf and mates are killed.

Twenty years elapse before Tarzan is found by a party of Europeans, who are searching for him and, presumably taken back to cavilization. The ending of the story is most abrupt and nnsual. There is, of course, another story woven in with this one, the story, of he fortunes of the Greystock's in "England, where a worthless brother of the carl, who has married a barmaid, succeeds to the title and estates.

A sharp contrast is drawn between the boy Tarzan, in the jungle, and his cousin, who TheJ holds his rightful place at home, pseture has been so cleverly cut that these scenes stand out well against each other. The featured player in the film is Elmo Lincoln, a man of enormous strength and remarkable agility, as well as splendid talents as an actor, who plays i he part of Tarzan when he has attained the age of twenty, but many will be interested in the boy. as played by young Gordon Griffith, who is a clever youthful actor. Other members of the east include, Enid Markey, True Boardman, Kathleen Kirkham. Thomas Jefferson, Bessie Toner and George French.

The serenes in the jungle are truly wonderful. Tribes of apes swinging through the trees, lions, tigers and leopards roar around the cabin that Greystoek has built, and all sorts of wild animals are shown in their native state. Additional attractions will be the eighth chanter of "The Son of sub-tit'ed, "Down the Riv ai SVthe usual splendid nusical pro- e. granxmg, stage builders, and camera men to the Amazon River district of Brazil and i thence, to the interior of the Brazilian juiigic, vnrac iu juuuuis "re "ptrui, i maincf scenes or The srorv.

Two hundred thousand feet of film were i exposed at a cost of $300,000, and there were still other expenditures, showing that the picture represents an outlay of a goodly sized fortune.

"The Lure of Alaska" Dr Leonard S. Sugden will give his famous travel talk and motion picture display in natural colors, entitled "The Lure of Alaska," at the Garrick Theatre for two with Wednesday and Sat-, urday matinees, beginning Monday evening, Aoril 15, during which he will give a clearer conception of the wonders and resources of that great northland of ours than can be gained from reading hundreds of books. Dr. Sugden has spent seventeen years in the great North, has visited all the important points, centres, camps, mines and diggings, and being an ardent scientist as well as photographer, he has secured views and figures and facts that are truly astounding and which he throws upon the screen and tells of most lucidly.
