I 1 IB Willi i I y II HE announcement I made by the Or-ll'l Or-ll'l pheum manage-I manage-I nient that "Hearts of the M Griffith's grip- H ping war romance, will continue to H run all next week is most acceptable. H Notwithstanding the fact that the pic- H ture was shown to capacity houses all H week long, there are still thousands of H Salt Lakers who want to see it, and it H is betraying no secret to say that H" there are hundreds who have already H seen the film who will want to see B it again before the engagement closes. H This latest Griffith masterpiece is H something more than a sensational H moving pictures; it contains the most B stirring appeal to patriotic hearts that H has yet been addressed to the Ameri- H can people in any form. One cannot watch this film unfold its wonderful H message upon the screen, and hear H the exquistitely selected musical ac- H companiments, without feeling an ov- H erwhelming conflict of emotions within H his own soul. The picture does some- H thing more than simply bring the war B close home; it strikes fire in the heart H of the spectator, shames him of his H shortcomings, and impels him to the H high resolve that henceforth, so long B as the war shall last, his one aim B will be to size up to his obligations as H a participant in the great struggle. H And when one leaves the theatre, al- H though this strange appeal to his pas- H , sions has caused his blood to alter H nately wax warm and run cold, he is H a better citizen because of what he H has seen. M The picture beggars description. H j One must see it to even gain a faint H appreciation of the soul-stirring ex- H periences that are coming to our B friends across the seas. The wonder M is that the government doesn't buy M the rights to the picture outright and B1 arrange to show it free of cost or at H such a price so that every boy and girl H and man and woman throughout the B land could see it and feel its singular B appeal. I: Hi PANT AGES B, TN utter defiance of the 'summer B A season's attempted ban on indoor Bf- entertainments, the new bill which H "' opened at Pantages Wednesday for a H. week's run at that popular playhouse Hi 1 i( .is bright and fascinating and full of Hf good' things. ' HE (i The headline attraction is a team Hi , composed of two laugh-weights, James Hf i B. Donovan and Marie Lee. Donovan HI is known as "the King of Ireland," K while Miss Lee is "the Dancing But- !, terfly." Their number includes a i dazzling array of song, dance and the h ,, sort of footlight repartee that drives care over the mid-garden fence for a score every time. They deserve the big notices given them all along the Pantages trail. "Doing Well, Thank You," is their merry title for their cheery act. Off the main line of entertainment and all the more interesting on that account is the clever act of Alerander Brother and Evelyn. These two experts ex-perts in defying gravitation handle a dozen rubber balls with the ease of a cross-eyed billiard expert playing off the championship on a storm tossed liner. "That's the Secret" is the title of a one-act sketch which scores a hit with the crowd. Alexander Gaden and company com-pany put this over in great shape and prove that there is laughter hidden away in the tangled mesh of war for Americans though not for Germans. Ger-mans. Irishman and Jew indulge in a joke duel as personified by Moore and Rose, and their singing as well as their comedy com-edy finds it can get a hand at Pantages any time. Alexandria can do more with a xylophone xylo-phone than an. average man thinks can be accomplished with a full or chestra and he produces excellent music, too. Miss Grant and Miss Gordon Gor-don give an extra number on the bill in the way of classical and interpretive interpre-tive dancing. The Pantages Weekly motion pictures pic-tures include many views of interest of up-to-date life in action, and the musical program by the Pantages orchestra, or-chestra, led by Eddie Fitzpatrick adds to the interest of this excellent program. pro-gram. "THE UNMARRIED MOTHER" ONE of the strongest pleas for the innocent child born out of wedlock wed-lock and sympathy for the unfortunate mother is incorporated in the four act drama "The Unmarried Mother," which comes to the Salt Lake theatre for the week of August 5th, with daily matinees for ladies only. This play which has caused country wide agitation agita-tion both for and against its stage presentation pre-sentation was written by Florence Edna May. The story of "The Unmarried Mother," Moth-er," has to do with Elizabeth Goodwin Good-win and her child born out of wedlock. wed-lock.
