The tense dramatic: action of the play, the unfolding of a mighty love drama, give - her opportunities for. powerful acting that might tax the, abilities of a Bernhardt. - It would be easy to fall i into the error of overdoing her scenes. But Miss Kellerman never, overdoes! it. On the contrary her .acting is. char acterized by a repression and a re straint that suggests Clara Morris in her prime. The combination of these three qualities, aquatic ability, beauty and histrionic art makes Annette Kel lermann a film star .unique, without a near second in the world of the cin ema. The admission prices will range from 50 cents to $1. Tickets are sell ing at Elvington's for both perform ances. "IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE." "It Pays to Advertise," the success ful farcical fact whiciLCohan and Har ris announce for pioGuction at the Ac ademy of Music matinee : and night on next Saturday, is described as being just one hearty laugh after another for two and a halt nours. uonan aim Harris declare that it is the funniest farce they have ever produced, an assertion that seems to be borne out by the tremendous throngs which nightly gather throughout the country to watch the evolution of an idle rich young man, who, through the inspira tion of love and the soap industry, is transformed into a live wire in the com mercial world. "It Pays to Advertise" is a corking good play, with a clean plot full of unexpected twists, and, as was said before, one big laugh after another. The matinee , prices will be 75 cents and $1' for lower floor seats and 50 cents for the entire balcony. The night prices will range from 50 cents to $1.50. Tickets will go on sale to morrow morning at Elvington's for both performances. COBURN'S GREATER MINSTRELS "Wake up, hurry up, come along, boys," is the constant spur with J. A. Coburn's Big Minstrels who will ap pear at the Academy of Music, on Sat urday, March 17. Like his oldtime guarantee, "Money's Worth or Mon ey Back," Joe Coburn and those cap able assistants under him . will toler ate no slowing up of the amusement speedometer which keeps the show a welcome visitor each season. Every patron knows they will see an all new production, new people, ideas, cos tumes, scenery and the latest and best in minstrel entertainment when they buy their favorite seats for this sterl ing attraction: The beautiful first part ensemble this year is a unique concep tion wherein a Royal Rajah and his Princess welcome the .Millionaire Hunt Ciub and Valets from America to their beautiful palace and domain in India. New ideas, quaint architecture, beau tiful costumes and a' departure from the old semi-circle make this a novelty. Everything is new, bright and free from word or action which offend the most fastidious. Splendid singing, dancing, clean comedy and a wide awake company assure satisfaction. INNOVATION AT POPULAR ROYAL Today the Royal starts an innova tion which has been very popular in PhiladelDhia. Baltimore. Washington and other large cities, that of present ing, great fiverreel motion picture pro ductions in conjunction with their regular musical comedy show, but with this difference the prices are the same low prices charged for the mu sical comedy show alone. Today in addition to the big new bill by. Hermann Lewis' Virginia Beau ties, the Royal presents "Defense or Tribute," ihe widely heralded "spec tacle of the hour," one of the most elaborate preparedness and patriotic spectacles ever filmed. It will also be presented again tomorrow and all patrons should see it, as it costs noth ing extra and would otherwise cost them .at least 25 cents to witness. - "Defense or Tribute" is. not a war picture. "Defense or Tribute" is not a bunch of hashed up scenes from the current weeklies, put on the market as a five-reel feature, but it is a pro duction that will arouse- a spirit of op timism, a spirit of chivalry and a pa triotic feeling to even the most mo rose, indifferent individual. The read ing of the masterful Inaugural ad dress by President Wilson in Wash ington on Monday reveals what a keen insight the maker of this production had of the . thoughts of our great Pres ident of his ideals of national pre paredness and American honor. "Defense or Tribute" should be seen by every patriotic American in Wil mington today at the Royal. The first show goes on at 2:30, and will be followed at 3:45; by the regular per formance (everything new today) of .Hermann Lewis' Virginia Beanies. At 4:45, "Defense oe-Tribute"- will be presented again: ATnight the picture t will start at 7:15 . and will be follow ' ed immediately at 8:30 by the regular musical "comedy show. Patrons are - urged to come and stay through both shows, -all for the, same one admis sion price..- "THE -GOLDEN FETTER" GRAND, TOMORROW. In offering -Wallace' Reid and Anita King tQ the" pjahlic as fellow-players, the Lasky company? feels that they have formedf ?an ideal s combination, and their' "Wti.siarx4ng. vehicle, a thrilling Western drama, "The Golden , Fetter," which, will be the Paramount - Picture afc tfce , Grand tomorrow, is a Btory of unusual interest. These two young people are typi cal .Americans in ; every sense of the word. ; Wallace Reid has scored a great success in all his productions and was" selected by Cecil B. De Mille to play as leading: man for Geraldine Farrar in Jiis great , production found ' v ed on the story of . Joan of Arc-Wally, is he is better known,, la a typical btg, KWyv-v.. MRS.MARK. Coming to the Academy of Music To husky American. When he has not been on the stage or before the cam era he has been a civil engineer, cow boy, and everything else, in fact, that a young man could turn his hands to. Anita King has made herself more than popular with the .amusement i seeking public by her splendid per formances in "The Race," "Anton the Terrible" and "The Heir to the Hoorah." In "The Golden Fetter" she is given- a still better opportunity. In addition to her photodramatic ac tivities, Miss King has the distinction of being the first woman to motor across the American continent alone and is at present the only one of the thousands of motion picture people in Los Angeles occupying a civil po sition that of City Mother, in spe cial charge of the hundreds of screen struck girls who visit that metropolis. Mn "The Golden Fetter," Mr. Reid is seen as a young mining engineer who has- come West to seek his for tune. Anita King is a New England school teacher who is suddenly thrust into the turmoil and excitement of a Western town. How the money which she has invested in a worthless mine is returned to her ancN steel hand cuffs which bind her to the man she loves are turned into fetters of gold, is brought about in a most dramatic and gripping manner.

"What's troubling you, dear," l ask ed her. "Perhaps if you could tell me about, it you would feel a bit better." For a, moment she hesitated and then with flashing eyes she told me her story. She had-planned an informal dance where she had 'decided to have Hawaiian musicians funish the mu sic. The rooms were to be decorated vin the quaint style of the Islands, and altogether the affair was to be a most exotic one. V - Row, it seemed, Dorothy, a mutual friend, had sent cut invitations for a similar affair just one week before Marie had planned for hers. "Of course Dorothy knew that ' I planned mine in that .way," declared Marie. "I'm sure she is very small and mean, and as far as her friendship goes I don't want it, Anita. So don't let's talk of it any more." Marie's jealousy had so blinded her that she had forgotten that- Dorothy had only returned from Florida and that she couldn't really have heard of her plans- Then, too, I am afraid it wasn't just the similarity of the en tertainments which was troubling Ma rie, for she artd Dorothy have always been rivals, more or less, in their set. More and more jealous did she be come until our entire afternoon was I spoiled, and when she left 1 found trou- b!e in repressing a sigh of relief. !
