Show THE CITIZEN 8 With the First Nighters LOCAL TALENT MAKES BIG HIT AT PANTAGES THEATRE The famous Pola Negri in Mad Love is one of the big attractions and those who have not seen her should not miss this opportunity where she performs at her best. She had married Andre Lavelle, a young inventor, who discovers her in the arms of his employer. The thoughts of her duplicity drives Andre mad and he is taken to a sanitarium. Pola then becomes the talk of Paris because of her great beauty and Pierre Chabot, Andre's cousin, falls in love with the pretty Negri. They are married and spend a few days in a delightful honeymoon. Andre finally escapes from the sanitarium by overpowering the guard. He finds his former employer, the destroyer of his love, upon whom he wreaks his revenge. He follows up with meeting his wife at a big festival and in his madness chokes her. The play shows the difference in European lovers and the American. The European is more ardent, more sensational and more revengeful. La France and Byron in Party of the Second Part give a burlesque on prize fighting. How fighters are signed up and what they are supposed to do when they enter the ring. The manager takes all the jack and the fighter gets the interest on the uncollected gate receipts. Nade Norraine, the girl with the phenomenal voice, thrills the audience with her mastery by imitating every harmonic scale. Corradini's animals, consisting of a small pony, eight fox terriers and a monkey, perform all sorts of tricks. The animals seem to take delight in their performance and the young folks immensely enjoy the act. Jack Strouse in "Over the Phone gets avray by keeping the audience in a humorous mood by song and jokes. This show will continue until next Tuesday night, the change being made next Wednesday, when another good show will be presented to the patrons of the Pantages. m Famous Yvette and Pola Negri Appear on Good Bill for the Present Week. The famous Yvette, of whom the entire world talks, and her troupe of New York syncopaters, and Ting Ling Toy, a Chinese play presented by local talent, are the outstanding features at the Pantages theatre this week, and as usual standing room is held at a premium. There are six vaudeville acts and Pola Negri in Mad Love, a thrilling picture of love and tragedy, which keeps the audience keyed up throughout the entire performance. That local talent is as good as any is conclusively proven in Ting Ling n Toy, written and staged by Betty Johnson, and Martha Springman prepared the stage settings and costumes, all of Oriental design. Ting Ling Toy (Ruth Jensen1, a beautiful Chinese maiden, falls desperately in love with Dick (Glenn Lee). Lord Ellington (Ralph 0. Jensen) endeavors to show Dick his mistake, but Dick also loves his little Chinese girl. The scene is a Chinese tea garden in which Miss Toy and Dick tell of their love in a series of songs, and they are well supported by Cherrie Chandler (Ruth Lamebrt', Irene Beth Gibson-- , and Mary (Edith Gibson) in song and instrumental music. The act is well staged and there is no doubt that this troupe which is making a hit at the Pantages will be sought after by many theatre managers for the coming winLe-baro- ter season.' agers for the coming winter season. Yvette, the golden haired star of the stage, is simply captivating. Her violin solos reach the heart and her leaderorchestra brings ship of the eight-piec- e out many unique maneuvers. She is an entertaining "song bird and is encored by the audience until she can go no farther. This act is one of the best that has been seen here for a long time. SOCIAL HAPPENINGS..
