A there lived little French boy,
IWNpI whose brightness and cleverness,
even before he had reached his
tenth year, caused his friends to
predict that he would grow up to be great
man.
He always appeared bubbling over with
gayety and animation. He was a leader in
schoolboy sports-and mischief, il the whole
truth must be told. He could do Juggling
tricks, and perform acrobatic feats Music he
delighted in; and he sang comic songs espe-
cially well that everybody who knew him at
that period said:
"Gustave will be an actor or a musician"
But Gustave had another and still stronger
inclination or taste, and that was for drawing
pictures Although his good parents did not
encourage him in this, he was continually
scribbling sketches on his slate, in his copy
books, on the margins of his school history,
on the walls Of his room-eveTywhere
He had never been taught to draw, nor had
he systematically studied by himself; but no
body could remember a time, since he was
able to hold pencil in his hand, when he
had not been more expert at expressing his
ideas pictorially than in writing

away were the storied Black Forest and the
Vosges Mountains, with their sombre and
gigantic fir trees, their ruined castles, con-

Young Gustave knew by heart scores of the
tales and legends of Alsace, and, what is
more, he believed them all.

NICKEL THEATRE

The week started with big audiences at
Nickel theatre yesterday, with entirely
new pitcures and judging from the hearty
applause, the popularity OF the little play
house is continuing. The cleanliness and
good order OF the house. and the pretty
ladies' retiring room, are all features
which find ready appreciation. Yester-
days new motion pictures included very
interesting one called The Train Wreck
ers" in which a plucky girl outwits a
gang OF unscrupulous scoundrels Another
that awoke hearty laughter was The
Young Tramps." The illustrated songs
were excellent. and the views OF earth
quake stricken San Francisco were par
ticularly interesting at this time,

her popularity here In the vaudeville per.
formances given yesterday afternoon ana

Miss Russell is not quite the 'airy fairy

that she demonstrates the truth or the
adage about beauty unadorned. but she
proves as few stage favorites can what
marvellous combination or loveliness

Those who saw Lillian Russell yesterday
after a lapse OF years felt no disappoint-
ment; and all that marvellous charm Of
personality, that magnetic individuality
and thoes exquisite feminine graces that
used TO hold audiences In a spell OF admir-
alton, were yet there TO exert theif potent
sway. Her collection OF songs, rendered
sometimes too obtrusive, was well chosen
10 display the sweetness and culture OF
her voice; and by expressive rendition
and dainty touches they were given pc

outbursts OF applause that eliminated at

The supporting vaudeville company Is Of
a high order OF excellence. with not one

awarded the heartiest kind OF applause.
Some OF them were old favorites with
local audiences. and the newcomers made
themselves so at once.

impersonations OF familiar stage favorites
were received with great favor The mo-

good. and the colored film shown was
probably all IL was claimed 20 be. "the
