During the present week Manager Lin
coin will continue to give out the SOU

visit "Trilby." This marvellous painting
is still on exhibition at 1909 Pennsylvania

daily and there IS no longer any immedi-
ate prospect of the picture being removed,
as was at first announced. "Trilby' may
be seen every morning, afternoon, and
evening, including Sunday. A lecturer is
always on hand to relate the history of
the work and 10 add to the interest of
those who attend the presentation.
