Tomorrow is to be one of the big-
gest days this year at the park as
far es the number of excursions
booked are concerned. There are
seven on the regular schedule, with
extra parties certain to appear un-
expectedly. The seven on the oi-
dcial slats are. The Newheld M. 1:.
Sunday School. tram Bridgeport; the
Wilton Congregational Church from
Cannondele M. 13:. Church: the
Union Memorial Club. from Glen-
brcok: the Ridgeiield Methodist
church; the Mount Klaco M. E.
Sunday School and the Greens
Farms Sunday School. All these ex-
cursions will come by chartered
busses and, trollles. A week-end
turnout is indicated .if the weather
is fair.
Today the largest single excur-
sion of the year is duo at the Point.
Both the steamers Cepheus and
Cetus will bring the Lincoln Asso-
ciation of West Hoboken to the
park. The management anticipates
a great demand for accommoda~
tions, which the size of the excur-
sion will necessitate. Last year the
Mattress Maker's Union from New
York brought nearly 2,000 on their
outing, but there will be 3.000 this
afternoon.

This Week
For the first time in the history of
wild animal training. sebras and
zebrulas has been taught to perform
tricks and obey the will of their
trainer. Some i‘lne specimens of
these animals are with Christy Bros.’
trained wild animal show. which will
exhibit in South Norwalk on Thurs-
day. July 23.
For natural born stubbornness.
general cussedness and total lack of
finer feelings. the zebra in many de-
grees removed from his distant rel-
ative, the American mule. and no
more odious comparison to the det-
riment of the wild ass of Asia could
be made. The striped equine has
always been the stumbling block in
the paths of educators and trainers
of beasts and animals. Many of them
after herculean and patient endeavor.
have given up in disgust and con-
signed the convict-coated animal to
a remote and disagreeable locality.
acknowledging that he was beyond
all human understanding.
Chriety Broa' trainers for many
years concurred in this belief. but
heroic perseverance was finally and
justly rewarded. These circus kings
now have with their great show ae-
bras that give performances which
include everything done by the best
trick horses. Drills and intricate
maneuvers are accomplished with
precision and correctness. The ani-
mals waltz. two step and curvet in
per-rect time with music of the band;
they eat. at table. feign death, play
clown and perform other numerous

trol that is exercised over them. the

PICTURE AT
THE REGENT IS
INTERESTING
Simplicity and Humor
Mark “The Prairie
Wife”-- Dorothy De-
vore Ia Star ‘
A most unusual picture is offer-
ed now at the Rialto theater in "The
Prerie
Meyer release, produced and direc-
ted by Hugo Ballln.
"The Prairie Wife" is a screen
adaptation of the novel of Arthur
Stringer, and tells an interesting
story of the struggles and hardships
of a cultured eastern girl who mar-
ries a young engineer and goes to
live with him on his prairie home-
stead.
Chaddio had suddenly lost her
wealth: her fiance, the Honorable
Theobald Gustav. is more attentive
to a. little Russian dancer than to
her; and Duncan Argyll, a lovable
Scotchman. once more appears on
the scene. She realizes she cannot
marry a foreigner. tells Duncan
she‘ll marry him. and their wedding
trip is back to the Canadian North-
west where Duncan is an engineer.
and where she ‘gets her first taste of
hardship. But her love for her
“Dinkie-Dunk‘“ makes it possible
for her to find happiness even with-
out luxury. and the arrival of Dun-
can. Jr., brings the picture to a
happy close.
Told with simplicity. feeling and a
great deal of humor. "The Prairie
Wife.” is indeed something differ-
ent in the way of pictures. It is told
in a series of interesting incidents
in the life of the young couple,
rather than in a. detailed plot.
Dorothy Devore, clever young co-
medlenne. who has been starred in
comedies for several years. steps out.
into drama with the leading role in
this picture. and proves that her
long training in lighter pictures has
given her excellent background for
dramatic work. She is an appealing.
Winsome young miss. with a feeling
for drama. as well as comedy.
Herbert Rawlinson provides ex-
cellent contrast to the delicate Miss
Devore, as her virile husband. and
does his usual good work.
The supporting cast includes Gib-
son Gowland, who was established
as an actor of note in the leading
role of Erich Von Stroheim's
"Greed." Leslie Stuart, Frances
Prim. Erich von Ritzau, and others.
The picture contains some equis-
lta photography by James Diamond.
MARIAN HARLAN
T0 BE 0. HENRY
cult FILMS
Marion Harlan is the "0 Henry
Girl!" To the captivating daugh-
ter of Otis Harlan has fallen the
honor of portraying the leading role
in each of the series of eight two-
reel pictures to be made by William
Fox this season from the gems of
fiction by America's greatest story
teller. 0. Henry.
News of Miss Harian's selection
for this much sought after part was
given out by the Fox company in
conjunction with the announcement
that Daniel Keefe, assistant direc-
tor to Rowland V. Lee for the past
five years. had then chosen to di-
rect the filming of the 0. Henry
stories.
The capture of the 0. Henry role
by Miss Harlan was quite a. feat
in itself and was done in the face
of no little opposition. It was a
well earned victory for this child
of the stage. For months. in fact.
ever since the announcement
through the fan magazines and
newspapers that a girl to essay the
role was being sought. thousands of
applications were received and con-
sidered and eighty-four ambitious
young ladies submitted to the most
rigid of screen tests to prove their
fitness for the enviable role.
Now any girl that can run off
and win a coveted role against such
odds must have talent above the
ordinary. and that is what the de-
mure Miss Harlan has in large
quantities.
Marion -is by no means a novice
in the acting world. She made her
first stage appearance when she was
but a. baby and for quite a few years
played juvenile roles. Then she
decided to be a dancer and studied
under Barti. celebrated ballet mae-
etr of the Metropolitan Opera. Com-
pany. She proved a promising girl
and for three years was a. feature
dancer in the big ensembles at the
Metropolitan Opera House. \
About this time her father. Otis
Harlan. who for many years was
one of the best known and most
popular comedians in the United
States. decided to cast his lot with
the motion picture industry and
trekked to Hollywood. It was not
long before his daughter likewise
started on the screen. and today
she is recognised as one of the best
portrayers of flapper types appear-
ing in pictures.
