Jesse Greer assists her at all-arou- nd con-venc- e . the piano. interest to music loves is the announcement that the great violinist virtuoso, Duel de Kerekjarto is on the bill. His talents may well be summed up in what the New York Of keenest World says of him, If Paganini and Sarasato could be rolled into one, the combination probably would be such a demon of the violin as Duci de Ker-ekjart- o . local favorite is Paul Decker, who .with his capable company, will present Edwin Burkes new This is an upcomedy, I Heard!!! roarious farce with the noted actor at his best. Ben Boo One, billed as One 5n 40,000,000, is a mandarin minstrel, with all the effeteness of the east and the cleverness of the oriental in feats of magic.

Aesops Fables, Topics of the Day and Another Pathe News add their usual bits of enjoyableness. THE ETERNAL FLAME NORMA TALMADGE, STAR, AT THE AMERICAN The placing of a wager on the fidelity of a wife is the pivotal point around which revolves the highly dramatic plot of The Eternal Flame, the attraction in which Norma is starring at the American Theatre all next week. The Incident took place during the gay Second Restoration Period in France at the Inn of the Silver Crescent, where a dozen young aristocrats returned from the hunt, were dining. The Due de Langeais had just received orders to take command of an important military division in the south of France and as the pretty iserving girl whom he had surprised and kissed disappeared with the men laughing at her discomfiture, the Marquis de Ronquerolles rose unsteadily to his feet to toast the Due as the bravest man in France because he was leaving without protection the most beautiful wife in Paris. The Due protested that it was not the gallants of France he trusted, but his wife. For her there is no temptation, he added, upon which Count de Marsay laughingly remarked that there was a way to the heart of every woman, and furthermore wagered to win the heart of the Tal-mad- ge , - Duchess before her husbands departure. The wager was carried on, with the Duchess an innocent victim. Count de Marsay lost his bet and from here on the plot develops in its dramatic sweep and unfolds one of the most poignant love stories ever screened, with settings of extraordinary splendor and magnificence. role of the .
