Songs “Joan of Arc” Beautiful Feature Mo- tion Picture. > A erowded house again greeted the excellent bill of motion pictures -dis- played at the Breed theater last eve- ning, great interest being shown in the beautiful and wonderfully acted picture’ of Joan of Arc. In the open- ing picture Joan is seen as a peasant girl living the simple life among her country .folks. Her country is be- sieged in war and she, being a patriot and a very religious girl, hears heav- enly voices, St. Michael appearing be- fore her and telling her to go and see the king and save her country from the enemy. Joan tells her paresits of her vision, but they are amazed and try te 'persuade her -that it is only her imagination. She visits the king, telling- him of her plan, and he is so impressed with her sincerity, that he gives her charge over the army. She is muccessful at Orleans, later appear- ing at Rheims, where Charles VIL is crowned ° king, = finally appearing at Compiegne, where she is captured by the enemy and thrown into prison, charged with being a sorceress, aft- erwards being condemned to death. A Man Without a Country is anoth- er thriller, great crowds coming to see this wonderful picture of patriotism. Master Harry Noonan, the delight- ful boy soprano, continues to charm ail of his many hearers, appearing uext week in a new bill LINCOLN PARK. Minstrels at Rustic Theater. This‘ afternoon at 3.30 and tomight at 8.20 in the Rustic theater at Lin- coln park the William Josh Daly min- strel troupe will make their last reg- ular appearance, but the Sunday aft- ernoon -free concert will have the ben- efit of their talent. There should be wizeable audiences today and tomor- row if the weather is fine. Th singers—Joe Nelson, Al. Berger, Jack Welch and William Oswald— contine to delight everybody and Jack's. stories and songs are well re- ceived. Ed. Foster’s hand balancing is articularly skilful and the crowd fiold their breath while he is on top of his pile of chairs, with a big bou- quet_on top of his head. The Three of Us sing harmoniously and in their sharp wittlgisms and nonsense afford thelr full re of amusement. The danéing of Stewart and Brown is nim- ble,and artistics and the Mozart, Trio are unusually capable instrumental- ists, and the chimes with which they wind .up. their act are something de- Tighttul. /Tonjght at 11 a special car will leaye the park for Westerly. The fa- | vorite car for the evening perform- ance is the one that leaves the sguare at 7.45 and is due at the park at 8.05. The 2.45 car tomorrow will be in time for the Sunday concert.
