M , , Colonial. The popularity of the Mutt and Jeff m pictures makes introductory remarks unneces m ' sary on the stage version of the two popular car- Hv toon subjects. A musical show has been written M around Mutt and Jeff, and the Colonial will offer it P the first half of the coming week, beginning Mon- M day evening. If there is half the variety of fun H making in the show that the daily Mutt and Jeff H pictures offer, it will prove a popular card. H Orpheum.

There is a promise of another good big week of high class variety at Marty Beck's emporium. Garrick. "Cameo Kirby" will be given at the Garrick the ensuing week beginning Sunday evening. Both Dustin Farnum and Nat C. Goodwin Good-win tried the drama with varying degrees of success, suc-cess, though Mr. Farnum really scored an eastern hit in the title role second only to his "Virginian." It is a colorful story of romance and adventure with its action centralized on a series of dramatic incidents in the life of a Mississippi river packet gambler of the early thirties, named Kirby. He would have killed him. It is a play of ruffled shirts, Southern chivalry, deeds and daring, and plenty of thrills and throbs, and the Garrick is to offer it here at popular prices for the first time the coming week. Empress. Beginning Wednesday of the coming weeP the Empress announces a condensed version of Lew Field's musical comedy, "The Girl Behind the Counter," as its headliner, Nat Fields, a brother of Lew, is at the head, of the presenting company and with him is a sextette of show girls who will be seen in the act. The bill offers a double headliner in Joe Tinker, the famous short stop of the Chicago Cubs, who will relate episodes of the national game. Donahue and Stewart will be seen in "The Boob in Kidland," and Maud and Gill in a whirlwind, mingling of tomfooleries. Owen Wright is a mimic and impersonator who will present some unique types, and Adolph and Susie Lavino style their act "A Musical Tetea-Tete." |
