A well known writer said '"Mins- | trelsy is not dead," and if you care to! delve into the matter for your own satisfaction, it would be well for you to attend the performance bert's Minstrels at the Grand Opera House on Saturday, Feb. 19th, mat- inee and night. The tremendous suc cess of ministrelsy is due to the fact that it savors of all that is lovable to the average theatre goer. Sweet sing- ing, clever dancing, funny comedians, unique novelties, lavish wardrobes, beautiful scenic effects and embrac- ing some of all the arts of the stage. | This splendid organization has a wealth of admirable features, so dis- tinet, so novel as to make it the greatest one of its kind today, the grandest, most sumptuous of any company hearing the name of min- strels, Always presenting a clean, snappy performance of inusual merit, that moves with the precision of machinery, embracing all that is best in minstrelsy. At noon on the prinei- pal streets will be given a parade that is a diversion, and the Great Adams will be with it. Miss it and YOu miss a treat.--Advt. At The Strand, East" that at the Strand for a three days' engagement beginning today, thrills and depicts in a most remark- "39 opens ible manner the life of the Broad- | way chorus girl, her struggles in her climb up the ladder of fame and her Ife as it is lived on the great white way. This remarkable attraction 3ives one the opportunity of spend- ing an evening on Broadway amid the merry whirl of the metropolis with its dazzfing lights and glamor of the cabarets"And palaces of amuse- ment. It is a very wonderful atiraé- tion. The special added attraction will be a musical tableau entitled "The Gypsy" with special lighting effects and songs. The famous Strand orchestra will render a novelty con- cert which promises to be one of the features of the programme. The us- ual short subjects will be screened including a special selected comedy, Comic Classics and Burton Holmes Travelogues. The attraction announc- ed for the coming Monday will be George Carpentier, the idol of the World, in "The Wonder Man." --Adyt. ~ At the Allen, There ig the twang of the sea, the thrill of human combat with the ele- ments and the drama of red-blood- ed sailors in "Godless Men," the Reginald Larker production, a Gold- wyn offering at the Allen today, Fri- day and Saturday. This photoplay is an adaptation of the Ben Ames Wil- liams story "Black Pawl," which ap- peared in the Saturday Evening Post. The action centres about a brutal old sea-dog called *"'Black Pawl"?® who rules his ship Deborah in constant fear of a mutiny at the instigation of his son "Red Pawl", whose ruf- fian nature is the result of the fath- er's teaching. The old wan had taken the boy with him on one of his voy- ages and on his return found the boy's mother had eloped with another man, taking with her the other child a little girl. Years events move along and a litile chil drifts into the care of the old mariner Around her rages a storm when she grows up, the real affection of the old man, the pure love of Dan Darrin and the wild. passicn of "Red Pawl" being all mixed in it. "Godless Men" is a picture which reveals elemental man and portrays the natures of the old- time sailors who took a part bof the Sea into their beings, gradually be- coming like it in many respects.-- Advt. ---- The forthcoming visit of Crown Prince Hirchito to Europe will have as its object a study of conditions there, but he will not be entrusted with any special mission.
