At The Academy .'of Music. On the vaudeville program for the Academy of Music curing the latter naif of the week will be found five acta that have a high reputation in vaudeville circles as being highly entertaining. One of these will be the blackface comedy act of La France

Kennedy, an act that is second to none in the estimation of theatric-

NEW al folk and in the estimation of, the

.

public where it has appeared. It is Called "After the Battle," not because it

has anything

to do with .

war,-- but be-

cause it is a humorous idea patterned

after the evperience of two negroes

who have njlfered a chicken coop. The

fidelity to life and the wholesale humor in the act are sure to make a great hit with theatregoers here. .

The. eccentric comedy couple, Hill and Bertina, who will present humor-

ous ideas of their own conception is also expected to prove an amusing bit of entertainment.' The performers in this act are credited with having some new ideas which they present

in unique fashion.

Much allurement, enchantment, poe-

try, and fascination of 'Hawaii has been brought to the stage by . the Princess Kalama, a daughter of the tropical Pa-

cific Islands. Kalama is the Pavlowa

of Honolulu. Her Hula Hula is as free

from coarseness as is any of Pavlowa'g

classic dances. The folk songs and

music of the

Hawaiian

Islands,

al- -

.

though probably a bit primitive, are

irrisistible in their appeal, and this

remarkable Honolulean is past mis-

tress of them.

According to those who know, "A

Regular Business Man'' is the best

t cae-ac- comedy ever written for vaude-

ville. If long life is any judge of merit,

this claim is substantiated, for this

piece has endured these many years

and is today as fresh, bright, sparkling

and original as ever. It was written

originally by John Stokes for Henry

Woodruff. When Mr. Woodruff retired

from the stage, Douglas Fairbanks inr

herited the piece and when "Doug",

became one of the most popular movie

stars, the piece went on with Thomas

R. Martin in the role of the young

lawyer.

-

It is not only because of his excep-

tionally fine baritone voice that Louis

London causes attention,, but on ac:

count of the many character studies

he capably ...portrays. .

.

Mr. London is seen in what he terms

character song studies, which consti-tut- e

the singing of several different

songs in various costumes. His "Come

West My IndifSi Squaw," his own

composition is rendered in a striking

Indian make-u- p which is accurate in

every standpoint.

;

Marjorie North was sure that Gor-

don Trenwith would marry her. It was

the only honorable thing to do, and,

of course, she knew that he was a

man of honor. But when her baby was

born without the decency of a name,

she realized that the man she loved

was yellow under his veneer of suave

kindliness and . that he had used her

for. the plaything one of his many

playthings.

-

Yet inHhe end she saw happiness

with a good manwho was big, enough

to realize that one mistake was not

beyond forgiveness even in the woman

he loved."

How .. Marjorie Ifprth's goodness of heart triumphed over evil and brought

her safely into the harbor, of happi-

ness is shown graphically in "Play:

things," a Bluebird photoplay, in

which Fritzi Brunette stars as Mar-

jorie North. ,

To tell the story would only take

the edge off a keen photoplay.

Washington, Baltimore and Philadel--1 phia. Owing to conf ustion of booking arrangements out of the Klaw & r Erl-ange-

offices in New York, Blackstone and his company had to shift their time.

Manager Finlay, had endeavored without success to secure the widely

advertised and universally praised

superman for one day at the Auditorium. When the mix-u-p at Richmond occurred Klaw & Erlanger notified him that he could have the Blackstone

attraction but for one night only. So Charlotte will see the Great

Blackstone. Seats are on sale at Beat-ty'-s

TUEfSDAY WEDNESDAY "THE MERRIEST COMEDIENNE"

It is generally admitted that for

some time to come the American

theatrical public will desire entertainment of the lively, light style to

make them forget the somberness of

what has passed. In line with this

thought comes the announcement that Henry W. Savage's comic opera tri-

umph, "Pom-Pom- "

will be the offering

at the Auditoriug tonight. WThen this musical offering was produced in New York it was received with a furore and played there for a whole season to

packed houses. It is little wonder, therefore, that local theater patrons are looking forward with expectancy,

for the production has not been

changed any since its original presen-

tation. Another fact not to be over-

looked is that "Pom-Pom- "

has, ever

since its opening played to capacity

business wherever shown. It has the

merit of having for its field of action

and situation a real, human heart story with an appeal.

Its author is Anne Caldwell, who is responsible for "Chin Chirr" and a

half dozen other successes. The deft

At The Broadway.

A thrill unlike any Mae Marsh has

heretofore encountered brings pleasurable moments to an end in one of

the scenes of her latest Goldwyn Pic-

ture, ."Hidden Fires," at the Broadway

theater today. The winsome Goldwyn

star, who i3 an accomplished eques

trienne, enjoyed a rare treat during

the' taking of some 400 feet of film

for the picture. Not since the filming of her first Goldwyn Picture, "Polly of the Circus," has Miss Marsh revealed in her favorite sport riding

astride a spirited steed.;

;:

Peggy Murray (Mae Marsh) is a ho-

tel newsstand girl, who has fallen in-

to riches because of her remarkable resemblance to a girl believed to have been drowned when" an Atlantic liner is lost at sea. Peggy, becomes Louise

Parke to help restore the health of

the victim's aged mother. All the

wealth that has previously been lavr

ished on the unfortunate Louise is now Peggy's motor cars, horses and jewels But Peggy finds greatest

pleasure on horseback. '

and musicianly touch of Hugo Felix is exhibited in the musical score and lyric numbers. The stage settings are by Joseph Urban, an acknowledged master in this line. Heading the cast is the petite and clever comedienne, Dorothy Webb, whej plays the title

- One day while riding in the park a fluffy white poodle, which has broken away from the leash held by its owner, flashes across the path in front of her horse. Peggy's steed bolts and dashes madly away beyond the con--

role. In her support are such com-

petent performers as Jane Carroll, Betty Webber, Beatrice Cliff, Grace

n

Hunter, W. J. McCarthy, Ed. M. Favor,

Tom Walsh, Frank E. Squire, Charles

Prince, William Ritter, Charles An-gel- o, James Ryan, William C. Allery,
