New Bill at the Orpheum Full of Amusing Features. s The gods of the gallery grip their seats and gurgle with delight at the Grand this week, for there is a glorfous fight in A Gentleman of France.” The genial James Neill suddenly becomes an avenging fury and a blodgy dagger, slays six men in Quick succession and rescues the beautiful heroine from her enemies. It is upon the staircase of the chateau of Monsieur de Bruhl. Gaston de Marsac, with the calclum glittering from his wav- Ing steel, stands at the top of the strip of red Brussels carpet and meets his caitiff enemies one by one. The first is speared in the neck and falls over the balustrade in a heap. A second, with his cloak about his face, rushes up the stairs and re- | cetves the dagger 'neath his fifth rib. The third is hit on the head with a stool. Still they press on, only to fall with sickening upon the gory floor. At last the noise curtain goes down with the Sieur de Mar- | leaning on his trusty blads and the e pressing a rapler against the third button of one of the wounded vil- It is great. les the big fight there are seven nes of Kings' palaces, midnight es- es from gloomy castles and awful am- s.

About two years ago the American Newspaper Association announced through “The Call” that it had secured control of the New 20th Century Edi- tion of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and would supply to the readers of “The Oall” that famous set of books at Less Than Half Price, and on easy monthly payments amounting to only 10 cents a day. Our announcement brought thou- sands of applications for sample pages and full particulars, and the demand be- came so great that all avallable sets of the books were soon exhausted. The largest book manufactory ih the United States found it impossible to keep pace with the demand, and we were notified to accept orders only for future delivery, which resulted in disappointment to thousands of our customers. About one year ago our contract was renewed because of our great adver- tising and distributing facilities. At that time we insisted on the same price and the same easy terms as before for our customers. The phenomenal result bas been that . 49,376 SLETS of the Bu Britannica have been ordered, representing a saving to our subscribers of over Two Millions of Dollars! The great saving in price, the easy monthly payments and the undoubted merits of the Encyclopaedia Brit- annica explain the cause of this unprecedented demand. Price Soon to Advance. On account of the increased cost of materials used In the manufacture of books and the increased cost of labor, it has become necessary to advance the price of the Encyclopaedia Britannica at an early date to cover the extra ex- pense. We have, however, arra ged that this increase in price shall not go into effect until the edition just off the press has been distributed. We therefore give fair warning to all “Call” readers that Promps Action is necessary to gecure this king of all encyclopaedias at the lowest price and on the easiest terms of payment. For more than one hundred years the Encyclopaedia Britannica has occu- pled the foremost rank as a self-educator and work of reference. At intervals new and enlarged editions of the work have been published, thus keeping pace with the pmzres'ol the world. The new 20th Century Edition, which we now offer, occupies 31¥magnificent volumes, containing nearly 25,000 pages, and covers every department of knowledge known to mankind. That some sort of an Encyclopaedia is a necessity all must acknowledge. That the great Britannica is the ey best none will deny. It is an Encyeclo- paedia in which each principal subject is treated by an acknowledged authority upon that subject. No other Encyclopaedia has given Ten Thousand Dollars for a single article or 8ix Hundred Dollarsa Pafe for wriiten matter. The fact that $3,000,000 were expended in its preparation, requiring the labor of 2,000 of the world's greatest scholars. tells the story of its exalted superiority. One dime a day for a short time will secure this great work. Who cannot spare 10 cents a day? There is na further excuse for “Call” readers not owning this great reference Library. Take advantage of this offer now Before It Is Too Late, and secure the work at Less Than Half Price. Cut out the Coupon before you lay aside this paper and send it to us. IF USED PROMPTLY it will not only entitle you to the Half-Price Offer, but also to a special bookcase for holding the books.
