nese play. THE Darling OF the Gods by
David Belasco and John Luther Long
This is the very first production OF this
play in Providence. and, although II is
the most expensive production ever at
tempted by stock company, there will
be no advance in the Keith prices. The
scenic equipment is very elaborate and
will be in replica OF the original. as will
the costumes All the properties and
music originally used by David Belasco's
company have been secured for the AL
bee company's production. The electrical
effects will be especially beautiful and
the cast vail be largely augmented for
this production. which gives promise OF
being the most notable stock company

and p. m, sharp, and the demand for
seats is sure to be so great that. to avoid
disappointment, everyone should get their
seats as early as possible, and patronizs

The Nickel theatres program the first
two days OF this week (the program
changes there every other day now en-
braces some decidedly entertaining mo-
ton pictures one alone that is worth the
price OF admission is "The Mother-in-
Laws Race" which is without exception
the funniest picture the Nickel has Offer
ed this season. IL is comedy chase OF
the most laughable kind. showing how, TO
gain a husband for their marriageable
daughters q number of women, all sorts
and sizes, run a foot race. The race takes
them into innumerable funny places and
the picture is continual scream OF
laughter. II Never Forget the Wife is
another capital pcfture. and others that
excited fun were 'Hooligan's Idea" "A
Disturbed Dinner and THE Toothache."
A very pretty colored film of the mystic
rious type was Weird Fancies,' which
was heartily applauded. Bob Alden made
a most emphatic hit-in fact. so emphatic
that he had TO repeat the re-
frain several times before he could
he released singing Love Me and
the World Is Mine" which seems never
TO lose it's popularity and Miss Duhaime
and the Nickel quartet sang Il Can't
Find Another Girl Like You" Both songs

they have ever before attempted.
The japanese make-ups and costumes

ures. II will also be Interesting TO near
