Pee advertisement in this issue for hours of performance and prices. “REEL LIFE” AT THE MODJESKA THEATRE "False Pride” is the leading number on today’s program at the Modjeska theater. This production is interest ing from the beginning until the end, the spectators’ attention being gripped as in a vice front the moment it is flashed on the screen until last flicker fades away. An Edison comedy, entitled "Buster Brown’s Uncle,” is one of the funny numbers Everyone is familiar with the "Browns” way of amusing their audience. A laugh a second is caused when this picture is shown. “When the Roads Part.” an Amer ican production, is also entrancing both in interest and beauty. "Fatty’s Jonah Day,," a Keystone laugh. Fatty sits reading “Three Weeks.” A girl whose father happens to have fallen asleep comes and sits with him. The jealous lover arrives on the scene and summons father, and the side-splitting mixup ensues, in cluding a few dives off a bridge. In the finale Fatty and the girl resume reading their book in quiet. A Vitagraph production, “The Cave Dwellers,” completes the hill for to day. But when the word •’complete” 1b used it is not meant that an "oft’ day has been completed no, by no means. One of the best days up to the present time, as far as the pro gram goes. Popular prices prevail at the Mod- Jeska theater. You get more than value for money spent there. You’re interested from the time you enter un til you leave, and with that there'* two good laughable subject* today. Better not mi*s the show today. It’s a treat. uiißHim*) \w; 'DRINK N^pfc/ Tea YOURiGROCER HAS IT St. Matthews at which Rev. J. B. Der rick. of Holy Trinity, will preach.

AT THE STRAND The emotional little actress. Mary J K'kford—a favoi'ite with Augusta ns—is being shown on the screen today at The Strand in the leading part in the "Bish op’s Carriage.” It is a splendid picture— blit any picture in which Mary Pickford plays is splendid. Tomorrow The Strand will present The Man from Mexico,” another Para mount picture, in which John Barrymore takes the leading role. Ihe story is unfolded in a common sense way. Each separate unit of hu morous action stands out clear and dis tinct, and yet is so artistically blended In the final assembling that the result is unique. John Barrymore as Mr. Fitzhew Is typical of almost every married man, w, 'ile Ids wife is true to the emotions, characteristics and suspicions of her sex in marital harness. Fitzhew, a stock broker, takes his first lesson as the driver of Ids own auto mobile en route from his office to his home. He just escapes running down Ids bosom friend. The two finish the journev together. Mrs. Fitzhew is about to spend the night with her mother, arranging the details of a trousseau for her sister. Fitzhew seizes the chance to visit a notorious case. Mrs. Fitzhew, returning to get her pocketbook, overhears the plot. She enlists the aid of the district attorney’s nephew. Fitzhew creates a small riot in the case, while Paquita ,n singer, gets a photograph of Mrs. Fitzhew from the Pocket of the new "well lighted” brok er. Mrs. Fitzhew, with the district at torney’s nephew, visits the place, hop ing to confront her husband with his domestic sin. But the broker is dragged nut, radiating good eheer from every lore. The plaee is raided. Mrs. Filz hew is arrested, but upon her romp-an ion's pledge to the poller, i s permitted •o go. Believing her husband to be at home, she flees to a railroad station to await morning to bear out her proposed trip to her mother’s home. Fitzhew gets into a fight with a hansom cab driver, and Is arrested and sentenced to thirty days on Blackwell’s Island for attempt ing to Influence the night court judge. A detective accompanies him home to prepare for the trip. The next morning Mrs. Fitzhew ar rives, and Is InfiFmed by her spouse of an immediate thirty-days’ trip to Mexi co. “for his health.” His excuse is accepted and then fol lows n series of well-staged Incidents of a pleasing character to tile end. Humor, clean and clever, prevails. Barrymore is exceptionally good in the role of Mr. Fitzhew, and receives able support from every one of the princi pals. “The Man from Mexico” will pro voke laughter, loud and long.

The young man is just beginning his career full of youthful confidence. The old man was once young and confident; once thought, just as the youth thinks Last Night’s Play It’s a long way from Otis Skinner and "The Silent Voice” to Adelaide Fontaine and "High Jinks,” hut Augustans took a mighty leap and made it. It is about tlie same distance ns iYom Tipperary to the blood-soaked fields of Flanders. In deed, there is a mighty chasm between “The Silent Voice,” tlie afflicted mu sician and the rollicking riot of laugh ter and song of last night, but people seem able to adapt themselves to con ditions and welcomed “High Jinks” af ter Otis Skinner as much as a thirsty traveler would welcome a cocktail on tlie plains of Kansas. Now, it does seem that every time a real show with a purpose comes along and gets people into a serious frame, along comes some musical comedy and knocks theiv good thoughts and inten tions into a cocked hat. That show Inst night Is not calculated to furnish any incentive to study next Sunday’s Sunday school lesson. Indeed, some peo ple, in comparing It with “The Silent Voice,” have said that It was like jour neying from the clcir, coni and health ful atmosphere of Monte Sano to a ma larial swamp. Fir lie It from the writer to say that “High Jinks” is a malarial swamp, even figuratively speaking but it must be admitted (hat the atmos phere was somewhat, different. Of course. Miss Mazie Gay, ns Ade laide Fontaine, was tlie particular star and she is a bird—meaning not only a song bird, but to class her a star in her part as chief entertainer of tlie whole performance. Miss May Irwin, Jolly, fat, old May, couldn't have dona better her own talented self. Miss Gay’s very corpulence makes is possible for her to play the part so perfectly. Con template, if you can, Adelaide with a sylph like form, a tender, graceful cling ing young thing! Gracious, you cannot even contemplate such! Miss Gay sang well, is a tip-top comedian, and was the life of the show. However, in knee dresses and with a daring low-neck dress she was on tlie rugged edge of tha vulgar. Have you ever seen a woman ’’three sheets in tlie wind" after liberal indul gence In strong drink? Gs course you haven't, and I bog your pardon for ask ing such a question; hut they do tell me Miss Gay played dial role to the queen's taste. No man who ever lived can cut tlie rnpprs a woman can when slie has popped a few corks, —at least, that is what they tell me. Every one should take off ids bat to Sylvia. Sue was a queen and a dream, especially In “Hove's Own Kiss," which must have been borrowed. In part at least, from “My Hero." It is a most beautiful song and was sung by a most beautiful woman with a voice ns clear as a bed and as sweet as a bird's. That and “High Jinks Something Seems Tingle-Ingle-Ing” were the song hits of the evening Not since “AdelP" has there been heard such good music at the Grand. In addition lo Adelaide and Sylvia, the other leading characters were quite good, especially Miss May Bouton, as Mrs Marlon Thorne. There was some very clever comedy by Fritz and J. J. Jef fries, who spellod his name with an "ey,” and Dr. Thorne. Home physicians’ wives may have been given some good point ers last night in the actions of Dr. Thorne and may know better hereafter how to keep on tlie watch. Doctors claim to have to do many things other men can't for scientific reasons and they may do their kissing In the interest of science. Their wives get a lot of com fort out of tills therd-v However, for f>r. Thorne the men of the audience had mingled feelings of envy and sympathy. The French officer whose wife, among many others, was kissed “selsntlflcally speaking’’ by Dr. Thorne was good. He Is a big. robu*t man, and reminded Au gustans of Lieutenant Britt of th* Au gusta police force. If there had been only one eong sung during the entertainment and that was "It's a Hong Way to Tipperary” the show would have been well worth seeing. It seemed that not until thou did the audience warm tip. ThHt patriotic .bat tle eong captivated the crowd arid there was one encore after another. The chorus was very good and the scenery, especially in the last act, was magnificent. A Indy remarked on her way from the show last night that the (bosses were made over from last year. Of course, that I* expert opinion and no amateur would take Issue with her but they were good enough. All in ail “High Jinks” Is pleasing, hut let Adelaide pose any wny she pleases except as a near “Heptember Morn” and people will lenve tlie house with a better opinion of the show. ____ TJ ' H - One of the hardest things in thin world for the young father to under stand is why jolting the baby doesn’t quiet it.
