: 
“THE PAssING SHOw oF 19106.” 
The latest Winter Garden show, 
and classed the greatest and best of 
the series, “The Passing Show of 
1916,” opens at the Shubert Theatre, 
Poston, on Christmas Day matinee 
for a limited engagement. 
“You’RE In Love.” 
That successful musical comedy 
triumvirate, Arthur Hammerstein, 
Otto Hauerbach and Rudolph Friml, 
who are responsible for “The Fire- 
fly,” “High Jinks” and “Katinka,” 
three of the best-known musical pro- 
ductions of the past decade, will take 
their fourth and what is promised to 
be their greatest musical comedy suc- 
cess, “You’re in Love,” which has 
been crowding the Shubert Theatre, 
Roston, for three weeks, around the 
corner to the Plymouth Theatre, next 
week, opening with a special Xmas 
Day matinee. John McGhie, a mu- 
sical director of renown, with an or- 
chestra of 30 pieces, has been selected 
to render the artistic musical accom- 
paniments. 
“THe CINDERELLA MAN.” 
The seventh week of the very pop- 
ular engagement of “The Cinderella 
Man” at Y® Wilbur Theatre, Boston, 
will begin next Monday, with a spe- 
cial Christmas matinee. This delight- 
ful comedy is particularly appropriate 
at this holiday season, for its story 
concerns a Christmas event, with all 
its accompanying spirit of good cheer 
and yuletide merriment. As clean 
and sweet as a mountain rill is “The 
Cinderella Man,” the Oliver Morosco 
success, with the same cast of players 
that interpreted this delightful ro- 
mance at the Hudson Theatre, New 
York. 
“Hrs Majesty, BUNKER BEAN.” 
At the Majestic Theatre, Boston, 
beginning next Monday, with a spe- 
cial Xmas matinee, Taylor Holmes, a 
light comedian, facile and pleasant of 
deportment, will appear for the 4th 
week in “His Majesty Bunker Bean,” 
which has come here direct from a 
phenomenally successful engagement 
of six months:at the Cort Theatre, 
Chicago. Taylor Holmes has had 
wide experience in dealing with roles 
similar to the one for which he is 
cast in “His Majesty Bunker Bean.” 
Agile of body, mobile of expression 
and dextrous in the use of his voice, 
Mr. Holmes has many times proved 
himself the ideal light comedian. 
Rings 
FE, have rings for everyone, from the tiny ring for the baby to the 
heavy stone-set or signet rings for gentlemen. 
It makes no difference for whom you may want a ring, we are 
prepared to show you the up-to-the-minute styles at whatever price 
you wish to pay. 
F. S. THOMPSON, Jeweler 
164 Main St. - 
TREMONT TEMPLE. 
There are few motion pictures 
which merit more than one reengage- 
ment at a motion picture house, -but 
Les Miserables comes back to Tre- 
mont Temple, Boston, next week for 
the sixth time. To all of the thou- 
sands of people who have seen this 
magnificent work, there is no ques- 
tion in their minds as to how this 
is possible. Les Miserables, the novel, 
is one of the greatest of literary gems 
and the production of this work into 
nine reels of motion pictures is cor- 
respondingly artistic. All of the ad- 
venture, romance, pathos and tragedy 
that grips the heart of the reader is 
intensified and made most realistic 
before our eyes. 
HENRY JEWETT PLAYERS. 
Oscar Wilde’s great comedy drama 
“An Ideal Husband,” which is to be 
the offering of the Henry Jewett 
Players at the Copley Theatre next 
week, beginning with a special mati- 
nee Christmas day—has never before 
been seen or produced in America, so 
far as theatrical records show. 
It is easily one of the finest literary 
and dramatic masterpieces that the 
English speaking world has seen in 
the last decade. When first pro- 
duced, at the Haymarket Theatre, in 
London, its effect was electric, in a 
night it established Lewis Waller in 
the first rank of London Actor- 
Managers. 
Keiru’s THEATRE, Boston. 
For the week commencing Christ- 
mas Day, December 25, a_ grand 
double feature bill, chockful of stars 
and nearly. every act new to Boston, 
will be offered at B. F. Keith’s Thea- 
tre. The liveliest combination in 
vaudeville, Anna Wheaton, the musi- 
cal comedy star, and Harry Carroll, 
the famous composer of popular 
songs, will appear in a repertoire of 
brand new songs written especially by 
Mr. Carroll for this engagement 
Miss Wheaton is one of the cleverest 
singers of character songs in vaude- 
ville, while Mr. Carroll presides ai 
the piano in the most entertaining 
manner. “Overtones,” the greatest 
Gloucester 
success of the Washington Square 
Players at the Bandbox Theatre in 
New York City, which was proclaim- 
ed by the New York critics the most 
novel playlet of the year, will be pre- 
sented by a large company of legiti- 
icate artists, headed by the clever 
comedienne, Helen Lackaye. In ad- 
dition to these two big features, 
America’s foremost singer of comedy 
songs, Willie Weston, will come to 
Boston with a brand new Budget of 
hits. 
Boston THEATRE. 
The great bills of vaudeville and 
pictures being presented at the Bos- 
ton Theatre have made this p!ayhouse 
the “Mecca” of music lovers in New 
England. Only the best and exclu- 
sive first time feature pictures are 
shown at the Boston Theatre, while 
the vaudeville shows are the largest 
and best ever presented at popular 
prices. For the week commencing 
Christmas Day, December 25, an ex- 
ceptionally strong bill has been pro- 
vided. The exact nature of the bill 
is as yet a secret. 
Nor Aut CHARITY. 
According to the advertisement and 
charities endorsement committee of 
the Salem Chamber of Commerce, 
solicitors have been operating in 
eastern Massachusetts ostensibly in 
behalf of the Sewickly Home _ for 
Crippled Children, near Pittsburg, 
Pa., selling toilet preparations manu- 
factured by the W. & H. Walker 
Co. If the purchaser will read the 
label on the containers with care, he 
will discover an obscure statement 
in fine print, to the effect that onlv 
ro percent of the proceeds goes to 
the charity. 
“Melodrama seems to be languish- 
ing on the stage.” 
“The movies struck it a vital blow. 
The highest cliff you can put on the 
stage won’t run much over 40 feet.” 
—Louisville Courier-Journal. 
As a rule, good men with bad 
habits are to be preferred to bad men 
with good habits.
