.CHARLOTTE SUNDAY C. . .. ... AT THE SHOWHOUSES At the Academy. With an eye to entertaining the pre-Thanksgivtng and Thanksgiving crowds that, will be in Charlotte in large numbers, Manager Schofleld has selected the Keith vaudeville program for the Academy of Music for . both the flrst , half and the last half of this week with unusual cart. He has decided to give V two performances on Thanksgiving Day, beginning at 2 p. m., and will re serve the whole house for a special Thanksgiving program, that is to say, if anybody wants to be sure and get a seat in the house for the perform ance on Thanksgiving afternoon they may apply in advance as early as Monday afternoon. Mr. Schofleld looks forward confidently to the big gas afternoon the Academy of Mu sic ever had and will probably not le disappointed in his expectations. It Is well to remember that tickets for the matinee may be obtained any tima Monday and the days following anA held for that day. An example of the big-time num bers which Manager Schofleld has prepared for the Academy for the first half of the week may be ob tained from the statement that one of the acts that of the Five Sym phony girls and Will D. Ward has five pianos going at one time on the stage In other words it is a quinV tet of piano players a very unique team who are said to be among the brightest performers in vaude ville. The five pianists are not the only feature of the act. however, for Mr. Ward Is a show all by himself, his accomplishments really remark able. ' - ' .; Frank Mullane could make good either as an operatic star or as a comic nomologist. He sings with the ease and dignity of a Metropoli tan Opera House prize vocalist and he Jests with the sure-fire wit and freedom of a finished monologlst. He calls the combination "Musical Scales and Uumorus Tales" and his act will be sure to go strong with Charlotte patrons of Keith vaude ville. Mr. Mullane shows his re markable versatility also as a char acter actor and . his merit in this respect Is little less than as a slnir and a monolojlat. "Two Regular Vaudevilllans" Are Clayton Kennedy, Mattie P. Rooney, who present an odd and laughable combination of jugglery, burlesque piano playing, dancing and other high J'.nks.. It Is not what' they do but the way they do it that makes this act a corker. S silEjU U in THK MECCA OF DSHIMIXATIXG MUSIC LOVERS ii V i THREE SHOWS DAILY 3:00 P. M., 6:45 P. M., 8:45 P.

At Auditorium Tuesday. "Pollyanna," one of the most recent of the great dramatic successes, will be presented for the first time In this city by Klaw & Erlanger and .George C. Tyler at the Auditorium on Tues day, November- 26. . Some five million people, so es timated by the publishers, have read the optimistic "Pollyanna" glad books by Eleanor It Porter. It is upon these that Catherine Chlsholm Cushing, an expert builder of popular comedies, has based the "Pollyanna" play reflecting the humor, tenderness and humanity that give the stories such wonderful popularity among young and old in all walks of life. "Pollyanna" has been very aptly called "The rainbow comedy." That is quite significant of its Joyous spirit, its 1 hopeful promise and the message of i brace-up-and-be-glad that it snaps across the footlights.
