time forward speecnes for and ngainst
the bill were made.
The first TO speak was Hall, of Wet

NEWSPAPER men HAD A FIGHT
in The SENATE CHAMBER TODAY
Some Exc eIlent1
Reasons Why
"THE ISLE OF BONG BoNe.r IS
WORTHY OF YOUR PATRONAGE
-s. e. WHiTNEYs SHOWS ARE
NEVER DISAPPOINTING - Al
WAYS GOOD.

d I r I. e. u
Ten excellent reasons why the Fair
mont tneatergoer who pays his money
to see the isle of Bong Bong" can
do SO with impunity. and win leave the
theater after the performance con.
graduating himself that he did not
miss It: + S.
First. Becuse it is a B. c. Whitney
attraction.
Second. Because B. G. Whitney has
never given us a bad show, nor one
that was In the least disappointing.
Third. Because the leading fun.
producer is John w. Ronsone, the best
German comedian on the American
stage, and It was he who. created the
part of the German brewer In the or.
iginal ''Prince Of Pilsen, company.
Fourth. Because Alice Yorke, who
made such a charming prima donna In
Captain Careless, I, will have the same
important role In the isle of Bong
Bong"
Fifth. Because the isle of Bong
Bong" company is made up Of most
Of the principals and chorus who were
soon here earlier In the season In
Captain Careless"
Sixth. Because the attraction has
made an emphatic hit wherever II
has appeared.
Seventh. Because Ii has the larg.
est beauty chorus ever seen in this
city.
Eighth. Because from start to fin.
fish of the performance there is some
thing doing that keeps the audience
in a roar OF laughter. : a.;
Ninth. Because 1t has more sump-
tuous scenery, gorgeous costumes
and startling electrical effects than
was ever seen here.
Tenth. Because 1t has positively
the best singing, acting and dancing
chorus that ever appeared before a
Fairmont audience.
The above are some of the reasons
why the isle Of Bong Bong" is wor-
thy of your patronage. and the object
in arranging matinee was to give
the public an opportunity to find out
what the attraction was like before
the night performance. You can't go
wrong IL you go to see this really
meritorius musical production. 1t Is
considered by; Mr.. Whitney as mis-
most worthy attraction, which in it.
self should be sufficient to insure a
crowded house.
Remember too. that you have an op.
portnnity to give the children an aft.
ernoon of Joy by sending them to the
matinee, and special price Of 25
cents has been arranged for the chill.
