Che bill that season, cons: the best seen ti three high class vaudeville, acts a four reels of up-to-date photoplays. Ir the vaudeville Lessik Anita & com- pany are offering one of the best nov- elty acts ever presented, consisting of | juggling, gun spinning and several ther feats. The feature of this act i e singing of a canary bird which #ings with the lady in the act and keeps perfect time and harmony. An- other novelty in this turn is t mon- key which dances to the mu of a mandolin played by the male member. Bring the children to this They will enjoy it as well Marshall company have skit called Pucker some remarkably Foley and Kelly see introducing clever sharpshooting. 'y are two cleVer young fellows who do a neai singing and dancing specialty, | singing soles, duets and acrobatic dancing. Today the photoplays will be changed from the first two days, the feature being a two-reel Broncho dra- ma entitled The War Cor pondent, a thrilling war drama telling the diffi- culties a young newspaperman had to contend with to get mews for his paper. The famous Mutual Weekly No. 47 will | also be shown with all the latest hap- penings that are of international im- A Muddy v portance. title of the F Romance is the one, and for a laugh- producer this the best one yet. An- other first clas vaudeville show is booked for the last half of this week. AT THE AUDITORIUM. New Pictures With Today’s Vaudeville | Every act on the bill at this favorite house today is making a hit, #nd they all deserve to, as each specialty is a good one. The braminos with their eccentric musical numbers and quaint comedy start the ball rolling and when they leave the stage everyone is in a good humored state of mind for the | next act, which is May Walters. Miss Walters has an act that is quite dif- ferent from the usual run of single acts. She sings a song, does a little monologue and introduces some clever sleight of hand tricks, and she does them all very well indeed. Anderson and Evans in the sketch from life, On the Rocks, have a winner. This act is o true to life and the comedy is so natural that it appeals to everyone. The hard luck story of two young fel- lows who are down to their last nickel is something that everyone can appre- ciate, and these two young men seem to be actually livigg the characters, not acting. The feature film today is a two-reel Rex film with the popular favorites, Bob Leonard and Margarita Fischer. The story is entitled The Primeval Test and tells the means used by an artist to show his frivolous young wife the error of her ways. The Ring of Sorrow, a Victor drama, with Glen ‘White and Fritzi Brunette, in the lead- ing roles, is another fine photoplay, and the Imp comedy, In Search of Quiet, | which closes the show, is a comedy that is far from quiet. AT THE AUDITORIUM. Trouble Makers, Hap Ward’s Musical Comedy, Tomorrow. The A record breaking business is ex- pected at the Auditorium for the last three days of the week, and if the ad- vance sale keeps up at the rate it has been ~oing, the house will be sold out ! at every performance.

Ladies are advised to attend the matinee performances and kill two { birds with one stone, in taking advan- tage of the bargain prices and also avold the inevitable rush at night. Exactly the same performance is given in the afternoon as at night. The Trouble Makers is a good na- tured satire on the suffrage question, and the antics of the two comedians disguised as suffragette leaders are extremely funny. There is an excellent cast of characters and a big chorus of pretty girls. Some of the well known | musieal comedy people with this pro- duction are Raymond Finley, Toney Williams, Dan Daly, Jr. (son of the Jate famous Dan Daly), Richard Bar- Lottle Burke, Elmo Delora, Susie erwin, Leslie Lyle, Kitty Parks and many others who are all clever and well known people.
