AT THE GRAND
Mclntyre and Heath Tuesday in Their Joyous
Musical Comedy, “The Ham Tree’ -Scores
Big Hit With Richmond
Mclntyra and Heath Timaday in
their JoyoiiH musical c*»m«*<iy, "The
Ham Tree" scorc-8 big hit with Rich
mond.
Those two eminent comedians, Mc-
Intyre, and Heath, will return to the
Grand Tuesday evening, in their j<>> -
oua musical comedy success, “The
Ham Tree.” Mclntyre nnd Heath nor
"The Ham Tree” are unknown to local
theatergoers, and all are anxiously
awaiting their appearance Below Is
given a criticism from the k Richmond
News Leader on the company and
play as follows:
If si! the fun In “The Hum Tree”
was confined to the conversation that
takes place between Alexander and
Henry at the tank station, in Seen*
I, Act 11, there would he enough and
to spare for the average musical
comedy. So, when you add to this
aide-splitting scene all the other duets
between the same pair, the adventures
of "Rube,” the chore lioy. with the
mule "Kbenezar,” the absurdities of
John Lorana and all the rest of tin*
fun of this famous piece, you are apt
to come to the conclusion tuht never
before, nor since, has there been any
thing Just sc comical as Mclntyre and
Heath's great entertainment.
How Alexander left his Job in the
livery stable, ns chambermaid to
JObeneser, where he bad real money
paid him on Saturday night, as well
as three meals a day, to follow the
radiant career of a minstrel man in
Henry’s troupe, and how be regretted
H and how he and hungry Henry
went In search of the ham tree,
which grew only in Happyland “where
the highballs are rolling on the
ground,” and how' he regretted It and
conveyed this regret to Henry. Is hu
morous beyond description.
“The Ham Tree” is built around the
old sketch that served Mylntvre and
Heath for years and “The Ham Tree
itself, now a most ambitious combina
tion of extravaganza, burlesque, min
strelsy and a circus, appears more

combinations of colors effected by

are very effective, a sort of burlequln

striking.
The chorus is adept in every sort
of dance from the old-fashioned soft
shoe, clog and buck and wing to the
latest thing In the hesitation and
maxlxe. They dance with perfect
precision and the way they keep time
and perform evolutions In ensembles
Is little less than marvelous. One
team, Winnie and Jack Crisp, are the
stars of the combination and they give
all the latest aerobatic novelties with
an ease that would make Jack Nor

"BRINGING UP FATHER."
George Me Manns conceived the idea
of the now famous cartoon series.
"Bringing l*p Father,” from a news
paper man's standpoint, he hit It
right To put the same characters on
the stage is another matter and a
very difficult one. McManus believes
that there's a specialist In every line
of business, therefore when he “got
stage struck” he consulted Qua Hill,
Group of the World’s Greatest Wooden Shoe Dancers, with Mclntyre and Heath in the Big Joyous Musical Furore, “The Ham Tree,” at the Grand
Tuesday Evening.
whose experience In making millions
out of cartoon plays, extends back
for many years. Mr. Mill's newest
production, “Bringing Up Father,”
after a half year of preparation, is
now ready for the people and I'm quite
sure that the people are ready for it.
That there's a scarcity of good com
edy before the people Is no secret.
“Bringing (Tp Father” Is good to give
you something to laugh about until
something else Just, or half as good,
comes along. It's a big production
built on vaudeville lines and contains
the best elements of clean and whole
some comedy, with any amount of
whtstleable music and the sort of girls
you’d like to have with jou forever.
There are funny comedians and pleas
ing dancers, with gorgeous scenery
and magnificent costumes. The mer*
title of "Bringing Up Father" and
what you know of it through the col
umns of the daily newspapers, is in
Itself enough to Suggest hilarious
comedy ituatlons. In the hands of
this veteran producer, whose life's
work has been to please the public,
you can accept it for granted that, no
opportunity Is lost, In fact the produc
tion of "Bringing Up Father” Is to
he the crowning effort of Mr. Hill's
long career.
It will he at the Ornnd Thursday,
matinee and evening.
BLACK PATTI.
One of the season’s offerings and one
that will surely win Tor itself a prom
inent place in the foremost rank of
colored musical comedies of today Is
Ihe Black Patti Musical Comedy Co.,
presenting the musical hit entitled
"Lucky Sam From Alabama," which
will begin an engagement at the Brand
Tuesday, Nov 3rd.
Those acquainted with colored shows
will at once understand that a good
time Is in contemplation and the emi
nence of Mine. Sissleretta Jones, the
original Black Patti, the greatest sing
er of Ihe colored race, and Harrison
Steward the funniest of the funny, who
have been entrusted with the lending
parts of the captivating comedy allows
no room for doubt for the success that
will attend tin .r efforts when com
bined with the unusually funny scenes
and situations, bight dialogues, catchy
music, singing nnd dancing will pre
dominate with "I.ucky Sam From Ala
bam."
"LITTLE BOY BLUE."
More than ordinary interest is being
manifested in the engagement soon of
the famous Viennese musical comedy,
"Little Boy Blue,” produced by the
same genius that originated “the Mer
ry Widow, "Everywonian,” and "The
Prince of Ptlsen." Us success in New
York City was so pronounced that It
ran a full season, and the original pro
duction Is promised for the local en
gagement. It vnis first given In Vien
na Its success was tnstanteous and
productions followed tn Berlin and
Purls. Then followed the American
version with even greater apprecia
tion. The book of Rudolph Sehanzer
and Carl I.lndau had been Amerlcanl
cunlzed by the brilliant A. E. Thomas
ami the talented Edward A. Paulton.
The music of Henry Bereny, a close
challenger for the title of waltz kin*
with Richard Strauss. Is complete. Tho
engagement here will be the musical
and fun of the season.

Scene Fium ‘ Bringing Up Father,” at the Grand Thursday.
AT THE MODJESKA
A truly excellent program is to ap- i
pear this week at The New Modjeska.
Every day a feature play will he
shown.
Friday, of course, there will be two
more reels of "The Million Dollar
Ms stery.”
It's a hard job to pick out six stories ;
from the thirty-six reels that are to;
be shown, but space prohibits more:
than six. All we can sa>’ —the six j
tokl of are but "samples”—the rest are ;
as good or better. So get the whole
story of the week’s plays.
Tuesday: “For Her Father’s Sins”
is great. Here's a synopsis:
“For Her Father’s Sins’’ (two parts.)
Laura Bell runs away from her coun
try home to the city, where she be
comes a clerk in a department store.
Her brother, Frank, follows her to
New York, but is unable to trace her.
He becomes interested in a settlement
house and obtains a position in social
service work. Mary Ashton, daughter
of the proprietor of the store where
Laura works, is shocked to find that
her father pays his clerks starvation
wages. Matters are brought to a head
when Mary rescues Laura, who drops
to the street with exhaustion due to ill
nourishment. Taking her home in her
motor car, Mary sees for herself how
the girl is forced to live. She pleads
with her father to better his employes'
condition. But he stubbornly refuses.
Mary leaves her luxurious home to
become a working girl berself, and
weeks later her father discovers her In
a shirtwaist factory. Meanwhile, she
has met Frank Bell at the settlement
house. Their interests are identical.
One day Laura's landlady comes to the
settlement with word that Laura is
dying. Mary and Bell both go to see
her, and thus the latter discovers that
she Is his own sister. Bell compels
Ashton at the point of a gun to Laura's
bedside. Tile doctor says that blood
infusion alone will save the girl’s life.
Her Ir-other’s heart is weak, but Mary,
to recompense for her father’s sins,
volunteers, unknown to him. After
the operation he learns that she is in
a critical state and may die. The
criminality of his methods is now
brought home to Ashton. In grati
tude for his daughter's recovery he
changes his policy toward his em
ployes.

pears, and soon succeeds in fascinat
ing Eunice. He tells Bruce that the
girl no longer cares for him, and
Bruce, believing that she has fallen
in love with the stranger with tho
stranger, gives her up. Dr. Hastings
Is a far-sighted student of human na
ture. He sees that Jameson Is not
the man with whom his daughter will
be happy and arranges a test of the
suitors. Eunice is convinced that
Bruce Is the nobler of the two, and
that she never really cared for tho
city man.
And:
“Out of the Deputy's Hands.” —•
