(Continued from page 20.) automobile* has started for, the counterfeiter and the wife find a man prostrate upon the pave- ment, exhausted from hunger. She prevails upon the man with ber to place a bank note In the hand of the unconscious man, but she does not know that the unfortunate is b«r own husband. The act of charity accomplished, the pair dis- appear into a hallway. Suddenly appears a crowd from a nearby store, raise the sufferer and tako him Inside. They bad possibly been moved to this kindly act by seeing the bank note In bis clenched hand, but be that as It may, they sell bltn a whole load of foodstuffs and he goes borne to bis starving family. An officer here enters the store to make a purchase and being given tho hungry man's bank note In change, pronounces it Bnlde. With officers, the complaining shop keeper soon appears at the man's home and place him under arrest. Ills wife comes In Just at this Juncture and. catching the drift of things, shows a whole roll of the same kind of stuff. Revenge- fully she leads the officers to the den of counter- feiters. Here a comic scene Is Introduced, where- in the look-out warns of the approaching officers and the Interior of the den is transformed Into an Innocent-looking room when the dies and printing machines sink Into the floor by means of traps. When the officers get down Btalrs the counterfeiters are playing several musical instru- ments, and for a moment the minions of the law are disarmed of suspicion. They go upstulrs and the counterfeiters return their tools of trade to place and go to work; but a sudden swoop brings the police Into the room and all are captured. Then the scene, shifts, the erring wife Is for- given and all's well. WALT. "A Trip to the Yosemite" (Selig). This film gives a faint Idea of the Imposing grandeur of the Great Divide. Its canyons and gulches, its swiftly flowing rivers and majestic fnlls. As a subject for motion pictures It has the ordinary "comic" beaten as far as a double eaglo Is worth moro than a copper cent. WALT. "How Binks Butted In" (Selig). A short comic, showing how a man who Inter- feres In other people's business sometimes re- ceives the worst of It. Blnks tries to show several people how to do several things he knows nothing about. WALT. "Bottle's Choice" (Vitagraph). The feature of "Betty's Choice" is the sweet young Ingenue playing Betty, a wilful coquette who dallied with two suitors at her pleasure. Anally clinging to the manly looking American at the cost of the English's fop's feelings. The pic- ture extols In a way the downright deviltry of some women In tampering wltb a man's affections. It is rather good for this; there Is some comedy, much better acting, and that coquette above all elso to make It Interestingly followed. SIME. Inside of a gambling ball will disappoint many. The "bank" Is a saving affair, purchased by « fellow who wishes a secure place at home for hla dime* and pennies. After ten months, a desire to open It overtakes him. He tries everything, rouses* everybody with banging the bank, but m> open. He finally climbs an Elfel Tower, throwing it from there, but no open. A bomb accomplishes his purpose aa last, but two policemen remove the pleasure by taking the "dynamiter" to Jail. The |K>llcemen are tall and abort respectively, strangely •familiar. The picture is worth while for lu length. It 1* away from the run. SIME. NEW ACTS. (Continued from page 17.) Mary Sanders and Co. "A Lonesome Widow." ao Mins.; Three. (Kitchen Set). Auditorium, Lynn, Mass. "A Lonesome Widow" as presented sj) Mary Sanders, a former Boston stock favorite, tells the usual story of a widow who has settled her late husband's estate with satisfaction. Naturally she is the one best matrimonial bet for all the ardent suitors thereabouts. The village schoolmaster looms up prominently. Find- ing he must prove himself a hero, he employs a stranger from New York to pose as a burglar while he is to shine in the rescue. Tables are turned and then the proper ending. While the merits of the sketch should be passed over lightly, the work of the principals is clean cut. Miss Sanders gave abundant evidence of the ability and charm which made her a favorite locally. Barlotc. Francis V. Grey and Her "Dancing Girls" (4). "Girl Act." 16 Mins.; Full Stage. Wilson Avenue, Chicago. An ordinary girl act. No fault to be found aside from that. E. E. Meredith. Mabelle Adams. Violiniste. 15 Mins.; One. Young's Pier, Atlantic City. A very bewitching figure did Miss Adams make when she came on draped in an artis- tic Gypsy costume, violin in hand. A mass of well-dressed auburn hair and big blue eyes that looked right out at you com- pleted a pretty picture. Pierue's Seren- ade, Bonn's Cavatina and a medley of '61 with "Dreaming" as the encore were the numbers. All Miss Adams' play- ing was appreciated, rounding out fifteen minutes' entertainingly, longer than acts of this kind usually stay. As a violiniste Miss Adams shows class. She has been playing in the west for some time, but the east is bound to claim her for a while. /. B. Pulaski. # WILLIAM BAL. Inc. ■EMD TO* CATALOOITX T. SVODW 01 210 West 42b4 StTMt. New Yerk jAU/tasa "Breaking the Bank" (Osnmont). There l« no gambling in "Breaking the Bank." The title on the outside of a picture house should draw business, and the absence of views on tbe Jere Sanford. Whistler and Yolder. 9 Mins.; One. National, San Francisco. (Week Sept. 26). Jere Sanford has discarded the jeans and jumper for evening dress. As he may be called an established favorite in these parts and especially at this house it is a question whether the change is for the better. Opening with his whistling med- ley none too good for the change, it looks as if Jere were going to "flop," but com- ing back with his yoldeling, the audience more than made up for their lack of ap- preciation of his first effort. Jere makes a handsome appearance in his juvenile make-up and was accorded a unanimous and reluctant farewell, particularly by the fair sex well represented. Fountain.
