David Harun1." :"

David Harume as dramatized from Westcott's book, will be presented at the Jefferson theatre New Years matinee and night. The comedy which is one of the biggest successes of the times, ran the greater part of one season in New York Its tour last season took in Chicago, Boston ard Philadelphia, in which cities 1t enjoyed long runs and won unstnted favor. Its presentation here is certain To attract a crowded house.
 All of the scenes in the comedy are laid in Bonneville N. Y, the opening one be- ing an exterior showing a bit of Harum' s bank on the side. Aunt Pollvs house on the other and the barn in the back ground. The characters are all intro duced before Harum comes' into view and when he does, it is after his experience with the balky horse on the river road

Burglary as a Fine Art.

Burglary IS line art is the curious proposition which finds demonstration in Rallies. The Amateur Craeksman," the exciting drama which will introduce the handsome English actor, kyrle Beiew, at the Jefferson theatre next Thursday. Rallies, the criminal hero, is not at all on the surface a bad chap. He is d thief by accident almost in self-detense, ac- cordiue to his view. 1credity made him so, lie does not steal for money-the .sHag is merely Incidental. He simply cannot help taking other peoples proper ty. and he loves his art for is own sake.
 Rallies is not low, common villain, who will Tiff gold watch in crowd, hypothecate il at the sign of the three golden bals and carouse on the pro eeeds. He is a gentleman by birth and instinct, and philanthropst by nature, He only undertakes difficult .jobs,9 call ing for the exercise of brains and nerve, and he profits not one iot from the ad- ventures, the proceeds go to charity He exercises to the highest degree traits of courage and self-control, while his tender heart and wide education are clearly ap- parent.

tary drama, Across the Pacifc' which will return for it's annual engagement this week.
 Across the Pacific" is a frank, bold melodrama, bristling with human pas sions, and abounding in startling situa- tons and climaxes. The superiority of MT. Blaney's play over the average melo- drama is manifested not only by the large audiences that always greet it. but
 by it's elaborate scenery.
 Across the Pacific is a play dealing
 with the war in the Philippines and is founded upon incidents that are histori- eally correct. The sight of the khaki uni forms, the Rough Rider band, the United States transport "City of Pekin," loaded down with Uncle Sams soldiers and the real Calling gun In acton always c..4t forth the hearty applause.
 The story has it's origin in mining camp in Montana. where numerous schemes are matched by the chief villain
 for the discomfort of everybody. From the camp the scene shifts to Chinatown. San Francisco, and shows an opium deu in full blast. The picture is very reals- tic. and during the act one is afforded all opportunity of studying the awful enects of the drug when once the habit Is ac- quired The plot of the villain to separ- ate il rich ward from her guardian in

He was se- lected by George Conan to play this part out of 800 applicants. Bobby Barry will be best remembered for his clever per formance of one of the boys in Foxy Grandpa" character which he origi- mated. Like his father, Billy Barry, Bobby is one of the best dancers on the Amer ican stage. Little Johnny Jones' will be presented here by a company of seven ty-five people with all the original scenery and effects as seen for twenty-six weeks in New York last season and all last summer in Chicago.

Little is known Of Correggio, which
would argue that he was of retiring
disposition. He was born in the little
town OF Correggio, twenty four miles
from Parma. In the latter city he was
educated, but in his seventeenth year
an outbreak Of the plague drove his
family to Mantua. BY 1914 he was
back in Parma. For some years he
worked here and painted many famous
pictures. 1t may have been because of
grief over the death of his young wife.
but at the age of thirty-six, indiffer-
ent to fame and fortune he retired to
the little town where he was born. All
that is known regarding his death is
