success, THE Show Glrl' or '"rhe Magic

Mr.. Goodwin Is a comedian who can make
much OF inferior material and his wife
is the possessor OF such radiant beauty,
such an indescribable charm OF manner
and such a bewlldering array OF the kind
OF gowns that are best described as "tri-
umphs OF the dressmaker's art" that IT
doesn't matter very much what she says
or does a. the eye Is too full 10 give her
hearers cause 10 complain II the ear isn't
equally fortunate. AS In the present
case these charming artists will be seen

Lucette Ryley, a woman who understands
the rules of dramatic construction and

the entertainment furnished by Mr.. and
Mrs. Goodwin will be a thoroughly en-
Joyable one.
The Biograph pictures at Keith's next
week will be exceptionally interesting

for rapidity for the Bograph company.

OF Marconi and his wireless telegraph ap-
paratus.
