Show THE SEVENTH DAY' TENSE DRAMATIC PHOTO PLAY, AT THE AMERICAN The Seventh Day, the second starring venture of Richard Barthel-mess- , who created such a sensational success in his first picture Tol'able David, will be the attraction at the American next Sunday and for four days. The story is an original from the pen of Porter Emerson Browne, who has written such splendid stage hits as. The Bad Man, in which Holbrook Blinn was starred, and Married, a one act skit now going the vaudeville rounds. Young society folks and sturdy Maine seamen are the characters about which the plot revolves. Yachting is the subterfuge the jazz hounds adopt to evade the prohibition laws. They reckon without the curse of and ciy for land after they have passed the three mile limit. But land means a broken-dowengine and a week's anchorage in an isolated village on the Maine coast fifteen miles from the nearest railroad; and they have a chance to repent of their wish. Into this dreary routine of luxury dulled appetites comes John Alden, Jr., captain of his own fishing schooner. He has never seen the like of such people before. To him they are gods' and goddesses; and picking his deity, he falls madly in love with her. To the boy it is the sentiment of a lifetime; but to the girl it is simply a mal-de-m- er n pastime. Such a state of affairs cannot last: and the climax comes with a pent-u- p surging of emotion that makes Dick Barthelmess simple acting a model of sincerity. The cast includes Louise Huff, Teddie Gerard, Ane Cornwall, Grace Barton, Patterson Dial, Frank Losee, Leslie Stowe, Tammany Young, George Stewart and Alfred Schmid. involving matters pertaining to business, love and general world affairs. Alexander amazes and startles by the uncanny manner in which he reproduces photographs' of anyone suggested from the audience. The required image appears on black canvass, although no one seems to touch it. Alexander also gives the spiritualistic slate writing test, causing written words to appear, jn mystic manner between two sealed slates, which are held by a com. mittee from the audeince. The mystic master is accompanied on his vaudeville tour by three charming girls who are adepts at dancing. They give exquisite interpretations of Oriental terpsichore. Special numbers are Interikue, the mystical dancing rite of the Sacred Twins in the private temple of Rajah in 1642; also the Nautch Dance as portrayed by Mile: Valeska. Snoozer, the intellectual bulldog, bill takes second place on the r this week. Snoozer apparently has the intellect of a human being, and indicates ability to count, distinguish colors and understand the words spoken to him by his trainer. Ward & Gory, who present a pleasing musical act, the Oklahoma Four in an eruption of cyclonic dancing, Holland & ODen in a clever comedy skit, and the Earles in a sensational aerial act, complete one of the best vaudeville bills that has been seen in the city for some time. In addition to the vaudeville, a Christy comedy, a new picture, and a all-sta- screen cartoon comprise the picture portion of the program. .
