GIANTS KEEP UP
Philadelphia and
Brooklyn in a
Crucial Series
The New York Giants continued
their phenomenal winning streak and
were a two-time winner over Boston
yesterday and passed them in the pen
nant race. New York, by taking a
double-header from Boston is in third
place by the narrow margin of two
games. Tesreau and Schupp pitched
the Giants to a double victory yester
day and both by shut-out scores; this
makes the twenty-fifth consecutive
victory for the Giants and is the talk
of baseball in the east
Brooklyn and Philadelphia have
locked horns in a three-game series
that is the crucial point in the Nation
al league race but the critics have vir
tually given the race to Brooklyn who
have too big a lead over the Phillies.
The games will be closely contested
and may be the turning point in the
race. Brooklyn, however, is going too
strong to be headed is the opinion of
the strategists; although Philadelphia
may do the unexpected and cop the
three games. The mighty Alexander
was never better and Rixey is a close
second.
The Red Sox dropped a game to the
Yankees yesterday but this will not
affect the standing. Neither Chicago
nor Detroit played and the Red Sox
have too big a lead to be turned. Ar
rangements are going ahead for the
championship series to be played be
tween the Trolley Dodgers of the Na
tionals and Red Sox of the Americans.
The Red Sox stock took another leap
yesterday as the close followers of the
game think Brooklyn wil be weakened
in its hard series with the Phillies.
Yesterday’s games and club stand
ings follow:

New York 2-6, Boston 0-0.

MARY PICKFORD
AT THE EMPRESS
A program calculated to “drive
away the blues,” but the skids under
“dull care” and create merriment to
the side-splitting point, to say noth
ing of satisfying our usual capacity
Saturday night audience ha3 been
carefully arranged for the Empress
bill this evening. Drama, comedy and
Pathe News have been prepared for
your enjoyment tonight. We begin |
the fun with “The Missing Man.” ,
Then follows “The Cannon Ball” feat
uring Chester Conklin. Then comes
the scream of the screen, Billie Reeves
in “When Wifie Sleeps.” The always
interesting Pathe News completes the
bill.
Mary Pickford in “Behind the Scenes”
Sunday and Monday.
Just about seven years ago a young
girl, in fact, a mere child, walked into
one of the theatrical managers’ offi
ce, and when she intimated that it was
a position she was after, she was ask
ed: “What’s your name, little girl,”
in the same blunt manner that most
managers ask questions. With a mark
ed degree of timidity the reply came:
“Mary Pickford, sir,”
“And what do you want?”
“I want to be a motion picture act
ress.”
The manager smiled, leaned back in
his chair and taking in the situation
at a glance, his manner signifying it
was all a joke, asked:
“Have you had any experience?”
“Yes. For about six years 1 have
been playing children’s roles on the
stage,” and with an air of dignity ad
ded, “some of which were big shows,
too, the last being in “The Warrens of
Virginia.”
That was enough. The manager had
seen this play and remembered the
child. “Come back tomorrow” was his j
only answer.
This was the way Mary Pickford j
got her first opportunity, and has !
climbed steadily the ladder of fame j
ever since.
This screen favorite who has scored
phenomenal successes, and still con
tinues to score will be starred in “Be
hind the scenes," a five-part fascinat
ing play at the Empress theatre Sun
day and Monday, October 1 and 2.
Here you have a beautiful picture,
carefully photographed and a splendid
characterization by a star with an
appealing personality. In this play
Mary Pickford gives a pathetic charm
and winsome grace to the dainty little
actress who is the heroine of “Behind
the Scenes."
These are other interesting features ’
on the program that go to make up
one of the best bills the Empress has
ever presented. Pathe News and a
comedy overflowing with humor ,and
decidedly brilliant in manner of pro
duction.
This program will delight the chil
dren as well as the “Old Folks." 9-30-1
