HIPPODROME
VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES One of Corinne Griffith’s greatest pictures, “Three Hours” will be shown this evening at the Hippodrome Theatre. The story tells of Madeline Durkin, wife of one of San Francisco’s wealthiest men, who is divorced and living in almost abject poverty. She longs to see her baby, but knows she cannot go in the rr.gs she has to wear. She decides to become a beggar on the streets and gains many small contributions. A young man, James Findlay, is about to give her a bill when a distraction enables Madeline to snatch his purse and escape. He traces her to a store where she arrays herself in the finest attire. But as she leaves the store Findlay takes her in a taxi to the police station—or at least pretends he will do so. But she begs for three hours. An added attraction at the Hippodrome Theatre this evening will be the appearance of Professor D’Almaine, a hypnotist of remarkable powers, who will give an interesting demonstration. A large vaudeville programme will also be presented.
