"CLEOPATRA," newest of big feature pictures, with Theda. Bara as the siren of the Nile, was revealed for the first time in San Francisco last night at the Cort Theatre, where it registered emphatically. Theda Bara is accepted as the cleverest interpreter of "vampire" roles before the public.

She is finely endowed physically and temperamentally, and It is second nature for her to make of Cleopatra the alluring personality one expects to ace visualized. The picture shows her conquering the susceptibilities of both Caesar and Marc Antony. Pharon, hereditary king of the Egyptian throne, who has sworn to kill her, also falls a victim to her witchery and charms. The picture shows Miss Bara tn some fifty changes of costume, such as only a queen of the Egyptians would wear, scant of attire in filmy extreme's and again gorgeously mantled as becomes the dignity of her station.

Some ludicrous mixups and misunderstandings are woven together in a way that leads to a romantic finish.

YwO of San Francisco's newest theatres were visited by Douglas Fairbanks Saturday night. At the California "Doug" arrived during the rush hour, addressed the big audience in characteristic fashion, and five minutes later was repeating the performance at the New Fillmore Theatre. With Joseph 1 Levin, manager of the uptown picture house; Leon Kahn and Louis R. Greenfield, the owners, Fairbanks inspected' the auditorium and perfectly equipped appurtenances of the theatre, which he pronounced one of the finest picture houses he had Been. To the delight of the "kiddy" patrons of the New Fillmore, Fairbanks not only addressed thera in a few strongly punctuated sentences, but turned a couple of marvelously executed handsprings for his exit Apdale's Zoological Circus, open ing the show, presents a number of well-trained beajs, dogs and an ant-eater.

"Pastorale," with its themes characteristically given to the reed Instruments principally, sang of the freedom of the fields, only to be rudely interrupted by the trumpet call of Destiny and church bells in the distance.

Fnally there was "The Under-" ground Palace of Arlmanes" in which Manfred obviously wandered, as shown by the repealed recurrence of his theme. This last movement was rich vith opulently descriptive music, uncanny In its grandeur. The performance, lasting nearly an hour, roused the auditors to the wildest enthusiasm. And to think that Oberhoffer led without a note to guide him! Mozart was well represented by his "Magic Flute" overture, exqui much fun in it- Called the youngest of the vaudeville comediennes, Ruth Roye may also be rated as one of the genuine entertainers. Felix Bernard and Eddie Janls do swayed over all whom she designed to reach.

From a spectacular standpoint, "Cleopatra" is especially interesting. The pageantry la inspiring and skillfully handled. A reproduction of the world's first naval battle, that of Actium, showing eighty vessels burning to the water's edge, makes a thrilling spectacle. The magnificence of the Egyptian temples and palaces, the gorgeousness of the feasts and ceremonies and other historically accurate episodes contribute to the entertaining powers of the film. Chief interest, however, naturally centers in Theda Bara for her vivid portrayal of the most notable siren in all history.

V- ir -j BY THOMAS NUNAN. MERRY" roles for Charley Kusgle3 nnd Hurt AVcsner are the features of chief Importance In "Pals First," the Alcazar comedy made by Lee WilHon Dodd from the novel by Francis Terry Klllott. The talent of Dor-orthy Webb, the Ingenue, whose presence brightens the new stock season on O'Farrell street, finds little opportunity for expression, and there Is even less work for Emelie Melville, the noted and accomplished aetress, who won her earliest distinction In the Booth and Harrett days and who lias recently returned to San Francisco after an uhsence of many years. Grace Travers plays a blackface role not particularly well suited So her. The others fill out the cast with average show of merit The story told In the play seems utterly lacking In probability until the very last moment, when the young tramp who has been boldly venturing In the guise of a rich Tennessee man, for a time supposed to bo dead, turns out actually to be this and not an linposter.

Ruggles plays the character In fautless manner. Burt Wesncr, as the second hobo pal, has a part, of hardly less importance and is not second In display of ability. -Although the scenes are laid in Tennessee, the Southern dialect is little used, and then without skill or consistency.

Later the baritone rendered the prologue from "Pagllacci" so effectively that the public would not be satisfied until he responded with "Red is the English Rose." ILL KING'S new musical comedy, "Bon Bon," at the Savoy, is perhaps the best of this popular series. Full of "pep," with one brilliant scene following another in a kaleidescope of light, color, stunning costumes and pretty girls, it affords an evening of genuine laughter. The play deals in a farcical manner with domestic entanglements. Will King is still the mirth-provok-Ing Ike.

Yesterday morning the Minneapolis Symphony drew a crowded house, at the Tivoll, while the afternoon found the Cort packed to the doors with the record audience of the season. Emil Oberhoffer, leader of the Eastern orchestra, was in a box, the guest of Alfred Hertz, who, in turn, has been an enthusiastic auditor at each performance of the visiting musicians. The "pop" was devoted to works by Wagner and Tschaikowsky. The real attraction was, without a doubt, the unusually fine sedections from the music-dramas of Richard Wagner.

Alfred Hertz has made the direction of these works his especial metier. The "Prelude and Love Death" from "Tristan und Isolde" is fast becoming really "popular" music one hears it comparatively often. Likewise the Prelude to Act III of "Lohengrin." Yesterday these were most warmly received.
