Lawrence Weber’s sensational suc cess, “Little Jessie James” coming direct from its run of one solid year in New York and six months at the Garrick theatre in Chicago and was the record breaker for the season in both cities. "Little Jessie James" was the first musical com edy to score a tremendous hit in New York without the name of a star in the cast to help carry it over seen in a number of years and this is the highest recommendation that Harry Archer, who wrote the Mail Orders Now Received for “The Seventh Heaven” Coming to Imperial Next Week Famous Golden Play to be Offered Here For Three Days Commencing Thursday With Matinee Thursday and Saturday. Augusta will have a hteatrlcal per formance of metropolitan import ance on Thursday, Friday and Sat firday of next week when John lolden’s lastest dramatic sensation, "Seventh Heaven,” will open an en gagement at the Imperial. Mr. Strong, who wrote “Seventh Heaven,” also is the author of “Three Wise Foils." The play was originally presented at the Booth theater, New York, two years ago, and held its place as the outstand ing dramatic hit of two New York seasons, finally quitting Broadway with a record of 754 consecutive IMPERIAL SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22ND Matinee and Night The Greatest Musical Comedy of all times. «£l tteSSlfi J/V6CS —With— (THE JAMES BOYS) A Paul Whiteman Band —and — The Most Versatile Cho rus Ever Seen Here —PRICES— Matinee .... 50c, SI.OO and $1.50 Nite 50c, SI.OO, $1.50, $2.00, $2.50 SEATS NOW SELLING | RIALTO STARTING HOURS: 11:00, 1:00, 3:00, 5:00, 7:00 and 9:QO Reginald Denny —ln— “The Reckless Age” Thi* picture i* just packed with it_auto thrills, love thrills and real fighting thrills!

MATINEES—SOc to $1.50 music, and Harlan Thompson, the book, could possibly receive. The critic unanimously proclaimed it “the smartest musical play that the metropolis has seen in quite a long time.” The keynote of "Little Jessie James” is speed. There is not a dull moment in the two and a half hours of the performance, the ex tremely funny siituations keep the audience in one continual roar of laughter. One of the several song hits, “I Love You.” is now being sung in thirty-two different lan guages. presentations. Great as has been the success his other plays, Mr. Golden feels that their records eventually will be second to the achievements of "Seventh Heaven.” The action of “Seventh Heaven” takes placb in Paris, Mr. Strong using the events of the French mob ilization in 1914 and the Armistice Dhy celebration in 1918 as a back ground for his story, but the theme itself, that of human courage, arises above locale and language. This year the play will be presented in at least two languages otlir thaen English. Tho Moscow Art theater, seen in America a year ago, will play it in Russia and Andre Chariot will present it in Paris. Recently an Italian translation was made for Mascagni, the Italian composer, who is now studying it as the basis for an opera. Outside America the play .also will he presented in London, and Australia. Mr. Golden himself will present it in London at the Shaftesbury theater, in October, wiht Charles Dillingham, the New York managr, Sid Grauman, the Los Angeles theatre magnate, and the London producing firm of Gros srnith & Malone for his associates.

Seat Sale for “The Russian Symphonic Choir” Opens Today at the Imperial World’s Ci-eatect Singing Organization to Give Recital Tuesday Evening. When the Russian Symphonic Choir, under the leadership of Basile Kibalchich, gave two con certs in New York City last spring, the critic of the New York Journal singled out for particular mention the "Credo” by Gretchanioff as follows: “One of the most thrill ing experiences we have had in the concert room this season Was the performance of a ‘Credo’ byGretch aninoff, the words intoned with a resonant intensity by Miss Ivanova, a young mezzo of the choir, against a background by the otherm sing ers.” It is very seldom, indeed, that a critic is thrilled. It is, in fact, the duty of a critic to react dispassionately tq the impressions in the concert room, so that he may give an unbiased review.

C. a critic listens on an average to six or eight concerts a day, as is the case in' New York City, it is a great tribute to the artistic merits of a concert, when a critic records a thrill. The concerts Of the Russian Symphonic Choir abound in such thrills. The “Credo” with its re ligious intensity is one. The "Lord, Have Mercy” with its remarkable pianissimo, which becomes a mu sical whisper is another htrill. The "Volga Boatman’s Song” with its folk pathos is a thrill. And so on throughout the entire program, as local music lovers will have an op portunity to hear witness when this Russian Choir makes its local ap pearance here at the Imperial Tues day evening.
