The situations and developments in the photoplay are dramatic and surprising, and brings Helen to the realization that service Is greater than self. Comedies complete entertaining bills. AT MAJESTIC As a wit, Willie Zimmerman, whost coming to the Majestic for a four-days engagement Sunday Is bailed by the management as an event not to be forgotten in local vaudeville, is a man of few equals in the show business. Hs has disported himself before kings with his art of mimicry and now hs is devoting himself exclusively to the entertainment of democratic audiences.

He speedily and faithfully impersonates the celebrated rulers of today and he recalls to memory music masters of the past 'and other historical characters. His act should be an outstanding feature of the variety season here. Fred Warren and Effie Conley, youthful entertainers, will offer "The Kidding Kar," a self-made act. Every line of their clever patter, every song and every antic performed by this bubbling couple. Is replete with merriment.

Their specialty is a revelation. Robert E. OConnor and company will present a new comedy skit, "Nothing Doing." Madame Merle, transporting a hugs aviary, will liberate a score of birds schooled in the knack of vaudeville. That feathered friends may absorb sufficient worldly wisdom to perform for humans. Is in Itself remarkable.

Mm Merle promises to surprise her audiences. Ernie Is handicapped physically, possesing only, half the number of legs bestowed by nature. The absence Of this member apparently works no hardships' on the young man for the reason that after displaying numerous accomplishments hs whirls his co-worker May Ernie in a cyclonie manner while dancing the fox trot. As a high kicker this monopede asserts his supremacy by kicking an object held twelve feet in the air. Others to appear are the Lampinls, with an odd Flying Phonograps.

The picture is The Man from Painted Post," and the star is Douglas Fairbanks. The Man from Painted Post is one of those rare western pictures that Is snappy, full of ginger and pep and with a role that Fairbanks fairly revels in.

Believing him to be only an amateur tbs rustlers try to put It all over Fancy Jim Sherwood and they are the most surprised bunch in the world when they learn who the man is.

Whole -1 rest settings, palaces and minor buildings were erected especially for it. Typical looking characters are introduced Incident to the story to corn-lets the desired effect. Kerrigan plays he Central figure of John Stuart Webster, one of those witty fellows who is always ready for a fight, and the fear-ss and quick elements of the role are lways brought out by the star and a manner that is quite in keeping ith the demands of the' role. Lois Wilson, Kenneth Harlan and Ed Cjxen are members of the company and the production Is said by Paralta to be his best. A Universal weekly also will be shown.

Puss blamed Toby Dog and Toby blamed Puss for being In trouble, and they certainly did hot look happy as they lay on the grass In the garden. Toby licked a hurt paw and one eye was swollen, while Puss looked sorrowfully 4t the end of her tall, which had been nearly taken off and was quite flat besides hurting very much. Puss also had a hind foot which caused her to hop when she walked, and altogether they were a sorry-look-ing pair.

You told me to go on and eee It. said Puss, "or It would not have happened. "You told me you knew It was meat, said Toby, "and I was sure it was chicken, so I do not see how you possibly can blame me. You were too in-quisUlve. If you hadnt been you would not have got into trouble, so dont blame me." "That Is right; blame It all on me.

said Puss, giving her tail an angry flirt and then trying out with pain. She forgot it was hurt. You eee she was so provoked with Toby for putting all the blame on her. "How should I have known there was a Pie in the pantry if yea had not come out to the baru and called me? asked Puss. It never was settled who was to blame, but this is the story see If you can decide; Puss was asleep on the barn floor When Toby came out and awoke her.

When they reached the pantry of course the mouse was not In sight, and nhile they stood in the doorway Toby id That is a chicken pie, I ffiiees, on the shelf. What do you think?" Puss was very fond of chicken pie, bo she took a step or two toward it and sniffed. I am afraid it is a meat pie, she sald Toby took two or three steps Into AT GREENES The Girl He Left Behind.

The play tells a powerful story with more thae the usual mixture of lively wit and rousing comedy, and the whole production is illumed with the Impressive scenery expected in melodrama. 5 The Smarter Set. The singing and comedy of Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, who head the "Smarter Set," has always been a source of unbounded delight to the American theatergoers, since they discovered their marvelous voices and comedy ability.

It seems a lot, there fore, to say that they have never done better work than In this seasons new musical creation called My People" which will be the offering at Greenes on Monday night. Nevertheless the management Is making the seemingly extravagant claim for Whitney and Tutt. Another claim of the management is that Whitney and Tutt havo been surrounded by one of5 the best companies of singing principals and chorus that were ever brought together In this country.

CHARLE8 RAY SUNDAY. Charles Ray, probably as popular an actor of light roles there is on the will be the attraction at the Strand Sunday, Monday and Tuesday In his new vehicle, "Hie Mothers Boy," a picture that was built tor him and well adapted to that kind of character acting that Ray is so capable of doing. The name is a trifle misleading as it leaves the impression that It lit one of those goody-good pictures In which "mammas boy Is not let out alone. On the contrary It Is brimful of fast action, has a strong plot and contains many novel and telling situations. The scene of action Is laid In the west and is the story of a boy who has been brought up to shun fighting and who refuses to fight a western bad man until he learns that the girl he adores thinks him a coward.

Then he sails Into the bad man, wounds him and chases him out of town and wins the girl. The plot concerns oil properties in the west that are not paying dividends and Mathew Denton Is sent from his New England home to ascertain the reason why. He learns that the oil Is being pumped Into another camp and that Banty Jones is responsible for it. Banty also happens to love Mable with whom Mathew is smitten and this brings bad blood. The action is fast and the picture contains an appeal that Is satisfying.

Ray in the role of Mathew does clever work throughout. Doris Lee Is the girl and she is cute and clever. William Elmer if the villian and a good one, and the tit' 1 A.

Which proved that the Donkey was not quite so much of a donkey after all. dont you think so? (Copyright, 1911, bby the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City) ADVERTISE IN THE GAZETTE.
