Kodaks fro.mn DAVIS THEATRE Complate Change of Program Today— Three Big Keith Headline Acts and Douglas Fairbanks in a Triangle Feature. There will be a complete change of program at the Davis today and an- other excellent bill of Keith vaudeville and Triangle photoplays will be the popular attraction. Heading the show is e Three Higgie Girls, offering a delightful and original feast of music and mirth. Knox Brothers are two clever comedians, who are different and will be a big hit with the patrons of this theatre. The next act is Ey- elyn and Dolly, two versatile girls, who present a singing, dancing, roller skating and bicycle act. For a three act combination these would be hard to equal for the money. The Triangle feature is Douglass Fairbanks in his new hilarious comedy, The Habit. of Happiness, a five-part production with plenty of life and good clean comedy. Completing the show is a two-reel Keystone comedy called A Bathhouse Blunder with Charles Murray making most_of the fun. Special music by the Davis theatre concert orchestra under the direction of Mr. C. A. Dow- sett. Matinee at 2.15, all seats 10c; children 5§ cents. Evening 6.45 and 8.45, 10c, 15¢ and 20c. Don’t miss this show, EXPERIENCE Coming to Davis Theatre for Two Nights, Monday and Tuesday, May 15-16—Seats Now on Sale. The gala fashion show in the Prim- rose Path of Pleasure in Experience is one of the exceptionally attractive features of the play, and it is quite as -delighttully pleasing to the ladies as to the gentlemen in the audience. Evi- dently ladjes are very keen on fash- ions for one of the characters in Ex- perience is called Fashion and when Youth sees her earrings he says: “I thought they were alarm clocks to tell you when the styles change,” but Fashion laughingly answers: “Oh, no! we women don't need an alarm clock to waken us to the importance of dressingly styvlishly.” In the fashion promenade in Experience Beauty reigns supreme. All the spring’s fa- vorite fashions are shown—fashions that were conceived by the world’s |, greatest style-originators. Many of the garments come from A MERCILESS JUDGE One Who Shows No Favor.® A merciless judge is Father Time. Before him the weak and the wanting g0 to the wall. Only the truth can stand. For years the following state- ment from a Norwich resident has withstood this sternest of all tests. ‘Mrs. Roland Ockery, 262 Franklin St., Norwich, says: “Pains in the small of my back caused me great suffering. Whenever I stooped, sharp twinges darted through my body and I was handicapped in doing my housework. I felt miserable when I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from N, D. Sevin & Son’s Drug Store. Their good effect was soon noticeable and I continued taking them until the trou- ble was removed.” (Statement given April 9, 1906.) Over five years later Mrs. Ockery sald: “Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me of kidney trouble and I have been in good health since. Others of my fam- ily have taken this medicine with good results.” Price §0c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Ockery has twice publicly rec- ommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Watch Child for Worms.

Cottrell, has been on a tour of investigation and they have witnessed demonstrations of sev- eral types of hook and ladder motor- driven trucks, including one manufac- tured by the same company that built the apparatus for the Rhode Island Ones and the Cyclones. It is under- stood that the committee will recom- mend the purchase of a truck of the same make as those now in commis- sion in Westerly.

One of the most unique events of the season will be the barn dance to be given in Olympic hall, Tuesday evening, May 16, under the auspices of White Cross council, No. 13, Knights of Columbus. For several weeks the committee in charge of the affair has been hard at work on the arrange- ments and now the plans are all made. It will be conducted along entirely different lines from any dance ever given in Norwich and many new and mirth-producing features will be in- troduced togive zest to the occasion. All the local knights will be there in typical farmer costumes and the ladies will be arrayed in cotton gowns, wearing sun bonnets and car- rying the indispensable milk pails. Suitable prizes will be offered for the ladies and gentlemen whose dress most notably typifies the spirit of the oc- casion. The advance sale of tickets indi- cates a great deal of interest in the event and a large attendance. Some will go to participate, others to be amused, but whether as participants or onlogkers, all who attend are as- sured of an enjoyable. evening.

She told them that foolish boysjnever be- come men of fame, and that foolish- ness never brought with it prominence or wealth. In conclusion she gueried: ‘Now, boys, did any of you evergshear of any man gaining fame and fortune by reason of his foolish actions?” One little fellow held his right hand aloft, and was permitted to make reply. He "iixd: “Yes, there is a man who foolish ‘action—Charley Chaplin; how about it?” All the pupils smiled, and eo did the teacher. A Foolish Habit.
