Show THE CITIZEN 8 With the First Nighters PANTAGES. A capacity house gieeted the first performance of the new bill at the vantages Wednesday, night. The T'irst Nignters were given a rare treat in a well balanced program that leans largely to ieminine gyrostatic stunts and classy dancing. The chief exception is the appearance of Joe Roberts, the banjo whiz, who entertains on his stringed instrument in a manner that wins instant and vociferous approval. ltoberts repertoire includes everything from the supremely classic overture to the modern jaz and finger-fiddlhis command of his drum-likis really marvelous. Besides Roberts is somewhat of a favorite here and he was recalled several times Wedensday night to repeat, scores of his catchy finale, in which the orchestra leader mimics his banjo twangs. Pearls of Pekin is a fine girly, jazzy show, featuring Will E. Bence in the Chinese character part. As Son Kee he has the real Chinese laundry man laid on the shelf, fast asleep. Bence has the style, the lingo and the naiveness that so strongly marks the real Chinese character in real life. The girl part of the show is more than misses Several vivacious good. prance and dance and sing and parade in marvelous make-up- . There is a plethora of scintillating and ravishing togs displayed in the latter part of the act which shows that the chorus was selected for more than mere dancing and vocal ability. Bence takes care of the comedy of the act and the lively music is managed by Adelyn Estes, late of the Tivoli theatre of San Frane e 0 cisco. The named. is well Pirquettes It is a girl act 'with six fair maidens in the cast. They are a lively bunch and put considerable vivaciousness into their gymnastic dances. Viola Oakley and Mayta Gerloff head the sextette and they were given exceptional applause for their wonderfully poetical dancing movements. Jarvis and Harrison, presenting Lonesome, stage a bit of refreshing stage comedy that has an instant appeal. There is a lively exchange of repartee and a frivolity enmeshed in the homespun plot of the skit that wins rounds of applause. Juggling for a living is not so new, perhaps, as the really classic way in which it is pictured and accomplished in The Flower Shop, featuring Ethel and Ward Shattuck. The act combines lively comedy talk and rather scientific manipualtion of Indian clubs, hoops and other juggling paraphernalia. The picture part of the bill is exceptionally strong, showing Larry Se man in his 'latest, The Rent Collector. Everything happens in the unwinding of this comedy reel. You should see it. The film, What Woman Will Do, depicts life among tho lower levels of humanity and the trans-- Foster formation in the habits of one girl, educated to evil ways, when brought into contact with the regenerating forces of mother love, through the machinations of weird and bogus spirit seances. The weeks bill is lively, inspiring and refreshing. AMERICAN. A screen version of The Girl in the Taxi, one of the most uproariously funny farce comedies ever written, will be the Associated First National attraction at the American theatre for the four days commencing Sunday. The story is based upon the misconception John Stewart has as to the true characteristics of his son, Bertie. Bertie is not such a mollycoddle as his father would believe him to be. Before his uncle arrives for a visit he has met a most wonderful girl' in a taxicab where he has sought a hiding place from his father. The girl has accepted his invitation to dinner and then has said good bye without giving Bertie her name. Then comes to the Stewart home Major Smith and his wife Mignon. Bertie recognizes Mignon. Bertie recognizes Mignon as the girl in the taxi and makes arrangements for a dinner party with her on the same evening. His uncle has a date with his doctor at the same cafe, his father has a e business conference also at place, and it also happens to be the place where Major Smith is to dine with the governors party. Nor are their troubles over wrhen they get home after the medley. Their waiter of the night before is the new butler in the Stewart home. The fun is the best that has ever been put on the screen, and is as clean and wholesome as a breeze from a field of clover. the-sam- NAZIMOVA REP.

Pearl, who is noted for her brief and to the point answers, is reported to have said in her most positive tones: Mine is not a divorce of convenience, but one of absolute necessity. I have no idea of making it a necessity again not this year, anyway. Miss White was granted a divorce from Wrallace McCutcheon last week in Providence, R. I.
