KOSY, A FINE PROGRAMME. "THE MILLIONAIRE VAGRANT." J Lev to dodge the income tax by living on a dollai a day is. proved a dangerous experiment iu "The Millionaire Vagrant," the brilliant Triangle play now showing at the Kosy, Charles Ray. is a rich young man who goes down to the slums, to find. i>ut "hat life i.-, really like, and he gets through a. series of thrilling adventures in those very unlikely places. The Triangle juvenile actor proves his athletic abilities in some of the scene's, performing the most extraordinary feats of agility and strength. The plot, is a strong one, the central incident, being the arrest of a pretty girl who is :i fellow- boarder of the millionaire, and is threatened with a. trumped-up charge by Ihe corrupt police. The story becomes, almost tragic in these scenes, and Sylvia Brentcr, the young Australian beauty, who stars in tlit- film, earns great praise for her intense emotional work. The first scenes open in a millionaire's club,'and later in his apartments, and tire sumptuously set. As a sharp contrast, there is a faithful picturing of.'the conditions in a second-rate boardinghouse. "Iter Nature Dance." set down as: a Kevston.' comedy, shows the well-known Keystone girls iu dainty, yet daring; costumes dancing some very pretty dances, amid the beautiful scenery of the Busch Sunken Gardens, which tire famous the world over, .as one of America's show places—these gardens cost millions to make. "The Secret of the Submarine" this week is just as exciting as the opening chapter. ,
