Show THE CITIZEN 8 - V V With the First Nighters MIXED SHOW AT PANTAGES MAKES HIT WITH PATRONS . Farmington and Willard Flood Pic-tures Are Shown; Six Vaudeville Acts and Feature Picture. would be a different good title for the show at the Pan-tagtheatre this week. The opening of this weeks bill, which started last Wednesday afternoon, was attended by a full house and the crowd has been coming ever since. There are presented six vaudeville acts and two screen pictures, all of unusual interest. A picture made of the path and wreckage of the late destructive flood at Farmington and Willard by the Clawson Film company creates amazement among the audience. Without seeing thep ictures of the flooded district where thousands of tons of earth, boulders, trees and debris were scatered over the farms, in some places the new formation being over twenty feet thick, or going to the scene of devastation, no one could be made to believe that a rain storm could create such havoc. Houses were buried and entire orchards wiped out, and all this is plainly shown in the picture at the Pantages. Where the Pavement Ends is a motion picture out of the ordinary. It show's the life of a Pastor Spencer (Edw'ard Connelly) and his daughter, Miss Matilda (Alice Terry) preaching religion to the savages on the Isle of Wailoa. Motauri (Roman Navarra) is a chieftains son living on another island. He is young, handsome, but dark skinned. He meets Miss Matilda at her mothers grave, where Motauri goes to lay some flowers and he falls in love with the beautiful missionarys Hull Gregson Captain daughter. (Harry T. Morey), the only other living white person on the islands, is the owner of a trading post and rum shop, and his servant, Napuka Joe (John George) keeps him posted in all happenings. Gregson is also in love with Miss Matilda. Miss Matilda becomes very lonely and 'finally falls in love with Motauri with the result that the pair decide to elope to the island of the chieftain, but in a series of thrilling adventures and a blinding rain storm thel overs are separated and meet at the home of Gregson, where in a fight Motauri kills Gregson. Miss Matilda then informs Motauri that she can never marry him and the heartbroken youth sacrifices himself by leaping into the dangerous falls of a river. Matilda returns to England with her father, but leaving her heart on the Isle of Wailoa, w'here the pavement ends, and where women live for love and men kill for love. The two Petrams give a unique exhibition of the Manikin Cabaret, in which mechanical figures do all the performing. It is something new and makes a hit with the crowrd. Fulton and Burt have a line of lingo all of their own and they keep the audience in a hilarious mood during their entire act. Somthing es The Myron Pearl Troupe presents Dance Echoes in stepping which thrills and it appears that nothing could be added in the dancing line. It is one of the best dance acts that has appeared on the circuit. Maud Daniel presents Youth, in which ten stars are coming to the front. Bring back my rib is one of the popular songs of the act. Singing and dancing are the features. Dan Downing and Eddie ORourke bring the house down with laughter with their jokes, singing and stories. This pair will kill the blues anywhere in the world, and they are getting a rousing reception at the Pantages. The balancing act of the Wille Brothers, the worlds greatest equilibrists, creates awe and apprehension for their safety among the audience. They have an act that is hard to perform and one that pleases. The present show will continue including Tuesday night and a new show will start Wednesday afternoon for the coming week.
