New Years Gift at the chutes

The musical Importance of the Ellery
band concerts was illustrated during
the past week by the production at
these splendid entertainments of two
new and highly interesting works.
"L'Histoire dun Pierrot," played for
the first time on Thursday night,
proved to be a work of extraordinary
strength and beauty, and created a
profound impression, as did also the
Liszt ave Maria" arranged by Signor
Donatelli of the band and played on
Sunday night in the presence of an
audience of musicians who received it
with unusual demonstrations of ap-
proval.
The next evening concert of the band
will be given tomorrow, and in order
to induce the tourists who frequent the
matinees in such large numbers to at
tend the more interesting concerts Of
the evening, Mr.. Ellery will give to
each woman occupying a seat on the
raised platform at todays matinee
reserved seat coupon for the concert on
Wednesday night, when, in addition to
the regular band numbers and the
singing of Signor Buzzi Valenza, the
celebrated harpist, will appear.

for every act, and many recalls for
most Of them.
Mcintyre and Heath with their "Geor-
gia Mnstrels" were the favorites of
course-also according to the tradi-
tions handed down from year to year.
These two blackface entertainers have
the art of making people laugh worked
up to a fine point. They met with a
hearty reception on their first appear
ance on the stage, and there was some
thing doing all the time until they left
Next in the affections of the audi
ence was Clarice Vance, the woman
who knows how to sing for those who
want to know what the song Is about
Her reception also showed that she was
remembered from last year. She sang
four little songs about foolish things,
and the little infections of her voice,
the little changes in her expression,
and a lot Of other little things, as well
as the important fact that every syl-
liable of her enunciation was perfect,
charmed her auditors, until she had
to come out and make a little speech

dancing stunts. The bill was closed
by Spessardy's performing bears, and
as bears are natural born comedians
in manner and appearance their work
was very interesting.

"sHoRE ACRES" GOOD AS OF OLE
Favorte of Many Years Well Pre-
sented at Mason

Last evening at the Mason opera
house "Shore Acres opened a three
nights engagement. The story Of the
play is familiar to nearly every theater-
goer. That it has lasted for so many
seasons speaks well for the play and
it is given a creditable presentation
here.
The play is under the direction Of
Mrs. James A. Herne, the wife of the
author, and she has adhered faithfully
to every detail which made the produc-
tion famous in the time of her hus
band. There are a few members of
the original company with the organ
ization at the Mason.
James Galloway and Atkins Law
renee are representing Nathaniel and
Martin Berry, respectively, and their
work is conscientiously and effectively
done. The others of the company are
generally acceptable.

the benefit of their fortunate purchase.
If you wish a mannish suiting, you
will do we'll to inspect their stock of
tweeds, cheviots and friezes; If a
tourist or rain suit then you will find
1t among their large line of cravanetted
goods.
There are also imported serges and
tailored suits, and voiles, grenadines
and poplins for more dressy costumes.
This will be rare opportunity to
purchase an early spring suit at practi-
cally one-third of the manufacturer
price. In other words, goods worth
from $3.50 to$2.50 yard, may be bought
at about one-third of that price, and 1
would impress upon you the advisa-
bility of examining the stock carefully,
for you're sure to find just what you
want.
The Broadway Department Store
Women who love the strictly femin-
inc, dainty things are beset with mani
fold temptations, just now, and they
can scarcely afford to resist them, for
this is a season which comes only once
year-the time when merchants seem
determined to dispose of everything
on their shelves. in order to make room
for the new goods arriving daily.
The Broadway have the most ex-
quiste line of embroderies that /
ever saw, and they seem bent upon
giving them all away, for it practically
amounts to that. Their 25c sale which
begins today includes edgings and in
sertions which amount to many times
that amount in value.
There are beautiful sheer nainsook,
swiss and cambria patterns from four
teen to twenty-five inches wide with
insertions to match.
There are widths with headings for
ribbons, especially designed for corset
covers and others wide enough for chill
dren's frocks or deep hounces on pet
tlcoats as well as dainty edgings, all
on sale at the same price.
You may think that this is an old
stock but it is not, The designs in
clude the late, festoon scroll, wheel,
floral and 1880 patterns.
There are also new French edgings
with an extra frill of Valenciennes lace
and founcing Of beautifully fine main
sook and swiss with inserts and edg-
ings OF Valenciennes and others finely
tucked with an edging of the laces.

What's New in the Stores

The careful buyer is kept very busy
finery for future needs
The stores are offering unusually
tempting bats in all departments.
Last week, of course, the muslin sales
engaged eVeryone's attention and now
with the embroidery and lace sales on,
comes the thought as to whether it was
wise to have laid in such a supply Of
made up lingerie.
There are remnant lengths at the
dress goods counters suitable for sep
arate skirts and often entire gowns,
also silks, particularly suitable for
fancy waists and shirt waists both of
which seem to be fixtures, despite the
frequent alarms from Partisan mod
istes.
Ribbons are claiming their share of
attention, as well they might, for never
was there seen such beautiful things
in that line. Plaids are the new fad,
but stripes and dresden designs are
equally popular.
Coulter Dry Goods Store
Tuesday the Coulter store had the
largest crowd of buyers that ever at
tended a muslin underwear sale in
Southern California. Even with the
extra salespeople provided it was SIM
Fly impossible to wait upon everyone
with the usual promptness at this store,
and many went away without being
served at all.
The January linen sale was the prim-
ary cause of this rush, and the sale Of
35c to $3.50 embroideries at 25c a yard
attracted thousands who know the re-
liability of Coulter merchandise. Table
linens of splendid quality were on sale
at 20 per cent from regular prices, and
venture to say that the linen closets
OF scores of far sighted housewives are
the fuller for this timely Offering.
Some of the most beautiful real Jap
anese crepes l have ever seen are now
on display at Coulters, having been i'm
ported by them direct from the makers
lin the rich Oriental colorings so popu-
lar now for kimonas and house gowns.
II any woman with an eye to the ar
tistic and effective can pass these by
am greatly mistaken.
The j. r. Lane Dry Goods Company
A glance at the show-windows of
this house, would make 1t really unnec-
essary to read what have to say,
but the "stay-at-homes" may be glad
to know that there is the most wonder

Monday that has ever been known in
the city.

o'clock, when 1000 yards are placed on
sale. Just fancy! Doesn't that seem
enough to supply every woman in Los
Angeles? But the Broadway manage
ment evidently know from past eXpe-
riences that that supply will be very
soon exhausted, so they announce that
for the benefit of late shoppers there
will be another 1000 yards placed on
sale at 1 o'clock, and if you don't feel
like hurrying breakfast, you would be
wise to even go without luncheon, for
opportunities like this do not come
often in a lifetime.

CAPTAIN J|NKS"
TEST Of ABILITY
STOCK COMPANY SCORES A
GREAT SUCCESS
BeIasco Players Do Best Work OF
Their Career-"Shore Acres"
Appears at the
Mason

In the twenty weeks of the Belasco
company's appearance in Los Angeles
there has been no more severe test of
it's merits than Clyde Fitch's cap
tain Jinks OF the Horse Marines
which is the offering at that theater
this week. Every role in the quaint
comedy is a character of ould lang
syne and the three acts are series
of pleasing pictures relating a love
story of unusual charm.
The comparison between the travel
ing company with Ethel Barrymore in
the leading role and the Belasco stock
company speaks much in praise of the
latter. There are players in the local
company to match any of the more
prominent travelling actors.
Captain Jinks" is a triumph for
Amelia Gardner and George Barnum.
The latter has the advantage of having
played this same role in the original
a character in which those who have
followed the Belasco company in its
work here will recognize this actors
wonderful versatility as they never
have done before. From the "crazy
Dutchman" of last week he steps into
the charming old dancing masters
character with astonishing ease. 1t is
not due to his acting that he is not the
star in the local production.
Miss Gardner carries off the honors
because the play was written for
woman star and because she fills the
part with the grace and art for which
the actress is noted. The clothes of
the long ago fit her most becomingly.
She is the flower around which the
story Is constructed and she fills the
foreground perfectly.
Galbraith, Oberle and Scott as three
musketeers" of a New York regiment
bring out their parts with convincing
reality. 1t is Galbraith as Captain
Jinks" who falls In love with Nine.
Trentoni and the other two are the
false friends who stand in his path and
make trouble in his love affair.
The famous singer makes a tremen-
dous success in the American metrop-
OILS ana the love dlldlT naturally tnuS
happily the false ones Notwithstanding.
Barnum in the character of the dane
ing master stands as her foster father
and opposes or sanctions the match as
the course of the action demands.
A large number of "extras" appear
in the cast and they are splendidly
drilled. Mary Graham as the ballet
dancer who wears her widows weeds
and ballet skirts at the rehearsal is a
decided "hit" There are minor faults
to be found. Sometimes in expressing
their wrath the members of the COM
pany slam the scenic doors as they re-
tire in a manner that shakes the entire
stage room, instead of withdrawing
more gracefully with a quieter ana
more artistic display of anger.
The lesser roles are all well cast.
Miss Jessie Norman as a deaf and
dumb member of the reform league
gives an excellent display Of talent.

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1905-12-29

Some light on the fate of flies was
thrown by II. Hill in lecture at the
Royal Victoria hall, London, on "E'lies
and How They Disappear" In Eng
land alone there are 5000 different
kinds Of flies, and Mr.. Hill mentioned
the following principal ways in which
flies perish: They are drowned in milk
at the breakfast table,; they get sur
rounded by q white fungus, which saps
their strength; they are eaten by spi-
ders, wasps, frogs, chameleons, lizards,
field mice or fish.
With so many enemies it might be
wondered how flies have continued to
exist. but Mr.. Hill said that he had
himself witnessed daddy longlegs
whose front half was being devoured
by a spider continuing calmly to lay
eggs with the other hail. as though
nothing were happening.

Beyond His Expectations.

When the first edition of Thomson
Seasons came out the poet sent a
copy, handsomely bound, to Sir Gilbert
Elliott Of Mimic, afterward lord JUS
tice clerk, who had shown him great
kindness.
Sir Gilbert showed the book, which
was really Il credit to the publisher, to
his old gardener, who was Il relation of
Thomson's. The old man took it in
his hands, turning it over and over and
gazing at it in evident admiration. Sir
Gilbert asked:
"Well, David, what do you think of
James Thomson now? There's a book
that will make him famous all the
world over and immortalize his name"
David, looking first at Sir Gilbert and
then at the book, replied proudly:
"In truth, sir, it is grand book.
did no think the lad had ingenuity
enow to ha done sic neat piece of
handicraft as that"
And without glance inside the hand
some covers the gardener handed the
book back to his employer, repeating
his surprise that his poor poetical rela-
tive should have attained to such
praiseworthy work.

Storms are never allowed to beat
upon his glossy coat. He cannot be-

is his business to stand on pedestal

how hard the rain may beat or the
wind may blow, he is insured from

National Aid In Road Building.

1t is as yet little early to.predict what
will be done during the next congress
with respect to the question of, nation
al aid in road building, says Good
Roads Magazine. Announcement has,
however, been made that bills will be
introduced either at the beginning or
before the close Of the session. Con-
gresham Brownlow, Senator Latimer,
Senator Gallinger and other ardent adj
vocates Of federal aid are very much
in earnest over the measures which
they have championed, and it is rea-
sonably certain they will be heard
from. On the other hand, many ap-
pear to share the opinion that the time
is not yet propitious for aid from the
national government in the way Of a
large appropriation. Public sentiment
in favor Of such aid is no doubt grow
ing throughout the country, but until
the individual is thoroughly convinced
and his mind made up there is little
hope Of much favorable legislation in
the direction Of national aid. Primari-
ly the demand must be made by those
whose use Of the highways is 90 per
cent Of the total Meetings, conven-
tons, all forms Of agitation, should be
continued in order that people may be
fully educated upon all phases of the
great question of road Improvement.
The problem will then be easy.
