BREED THEATRE. Alice Joyce and Tom Moore in A Race with Time the Feature. - One of the prettiest pictures of the season 'is the one entitled A Race with Time, an output of the peerless Kalem company, featuring the two pobular favorites, Alice Joyce and Tom Mogre. It is purely a love story set in ‘the unusual setting of railroad life. It js a struggle between two rallroads for. the government contract to ecarry the mails, and shows the das- tardly means employed by one of the companies to_thwart the rival line in theln. effqrt Yo acquire the contract. A thrilling railroad race occurs dur- ing the plot's unfolding, and . Miss Joycé ang Tom Moore are the easy tavorttes in .the cast. The Iron Heel, a powerful Essanay, with Francis X. Bushman, the famous leading man, tells a story that |is uniquete a .degree, and displays Mr. Bushman in two widely different char- acters, ‘one of the most exacting re- requirements of the piece. The exact date for the local pic- tures has not been decided upon, but will .be given due notice in the daily papers. Heliday Season Brings Fine Bills to the Auditorium. A genuine novelty heads today’s bill at the Audftorium, in fact the only act of its kipnd that has ever played this city, The Three Romans, which is the headliner above mentioned, has just arrived .in this country from Eu- rope, where they were featured every- where.. The act consists of Roman statuary posing, and their own won- derful equilibristic ladder act. This work ‘requires the acme of physical development and it is doubtful if there are fhree better proportioned persons on the ‘stage today. To an onlooker some of their work looks compara- tively easy, but that is where the sur- plus strength comes in, to conceal the tremendous amount of effort used. The costumes are exact replicas of the gar- ments “of ancient Rome. A ‘character comedienne, who is all that the name implies, Is Snowie May- belle, who is one of the very few successful lady monologists in the bus. iness. Gllson & Tolon come direct from the metropolis, to offer their neat and re- fined specialty. Their costumes are the last word in sartorial effects and every move they make on 'the stage genotes the finished artist. The Spring Maid Said to Be Better Than Ev: Local opera lovers will have a gala musical event next Friday evening when Werbe & Luescher's joyous mu- sical-success, The Spring Mald, comes to the Davis theatre. The Spring Maid, with its sparkling comedy: and alluring song hits enjoyed a goast-to-coast triumph last season. There is musical charm in every bub- bliig note of its delightful score, and 80 ‘much interest is taken in ‘thé com- ing/visit that mall orders are already ng regeived. The company is head- ed by the gifted prima donna, Gene La of whom the Grand Rapids H says: "It.may be as well to say that the entirs company is even better than last season’s organization.

It is the most artistic and tuneful play that has been seen "liere. . A final testimonial to the completeness and finish of the pro- dugction' is the spirited work of the specldl. orchestra.” The management promises the same company and production seen last sea- son, headed by Gene Luneska and J.

GENERAL MOVEMENT TO LOWER EGG PRICES. Housewives Want Them at 25 Cents a Dozen or Less. New York, Dec. 17.—A movement to reduce the price of eggs in every city in the country to 25 cents .or less a dozen was started today by the:na- tional executive ' committee of *the Housewives' league of America. An appeal was addressed to every state chairman and local city president of the league urging them to join In the movement in an effort to make the campaign general. The leaders all over the country were urged to begin their crusade by appealing to the dealers in their im- medidte localitles. This plan follows the methods adopted in Greater New York, as a result of which the league announced today that three of the largest grocery stores - controlling places in every part of the city ac- ceded to the demands of the house- wives for cheaper eggs and had cut the price to 25 cents a dozen. Other dealers are expected by the women to follow the lead of the big houses to- morrow. . All of the stall dealers in the Wash- ington Market, one of the oldest pub- lic produce markets in the city, today notified Mrs. Julian Heath, national president of the league, she announced, that they would meet the lower price of 25 cents a dozen.
