Norwich has soldem seen such a heautiful film as the one shown at the Colonial theatre today under the titie of The Pit, with Wilton Lackaye in the leading role, which was his greatest stage triumph. Beginning with seme superlatively artistic introductions of the characters, the film follows r wonderful glimpses of the dim, va and dusky city of Chicago, the head of the wheat market. These alone are wonderfully instructive, and to_mary, strangely novel. Mr, Lackaye is seen in his masterly presentation of the parr of Curtish Jadwin, the successful real estate dealer, who makes wild plu into the wheat market, while his bride sits at home pining for his attenticn, until the friend of the family steps into the scenes and almost succeeds in persuading her to elope with him to secure her much-desired attention and happiness. This is prevented how- ever by the appearance of the husband, who rushes blindly into the home frcm the stock exchange, where he has been ruined by his skyrocket deals in the wheat market. Tr , th a picture which anyone might take home, so subtle is its lesson, yet how impres- sive, while there never has been seen at the Colonial theatre, a film with more beautiful or costly setting: V- eral being taken right in a theatre while a performance of Faust was tak- ing place. Remember, we giv 1i- brary contest votes with every eve- ning ticket. PAT WHITE, At the Auditorium this Week. BALTIC St. Germaine-Peltier Marriage—Fu- neral of Mrs, Ferdinand Michaud.

Away back, when “want” ads were first invented, they appealed to the most progressive people. These days, the crowd of “want” ad users and readers has so grown that it numbers almost every progressive man and woman. You can use them for so many purposes and turn them to so many advantages. You can choose your summer home and buy the farniture for it; you can secure a bargain in a house and secure a tenant for the house; you can secure a good used auto cheap or you can save on furniture. These and thousands of other tasks you can do best by using the Bulletin “want” ads.
