If jingling, catchy music, clean and
wholesome fun, unique electrical and

leaux and feminine beauty count for any

are 30 people i'm the cast, including a
chorus OF twenty OF the prettiest and best

NICKEL THEATRE

The Nickel theatre offers a real nov
city this wefk-a novelty that is sure to
attract many more thousand people than
are I'm tho habit OF going there every
week which will mean a great many, for
the Nickel theatre easily attracts more
people every week than many theatres
several times its size. For q long time
the Nickel theatre has been Offering pro-
grams or motion pictures that were so
realistic and so entertaining that many
people declared they did everything but
talk. Now the management of that en-
terprising little playhouse announces that
II will offer motion pictures that actually
talk. Big vaudeville features are repro
duced with every motion and sound as
clearly as II the original was before the
audience. Tor Instance. this week, there
will be offered a singing and dancing act
by the Well-known vaudeville team, Dor
othy Ford and Frank Emmett. Every
motion of this clever pair. and every
sound OF their singing and dancing. will
be faithfully produced. So also will the

rate romantic musical comedy drama en-
titled, '"rhe Dancer and the King"
One OF tho novelties of the vaudeville
season is Carletta, "The Human Dragon
who will be at Keiths next week In an
act of contortion work that has amazed
everyone who sees him. Carletta Is max
ing his first American appearance. but his
big success here makes it very likely that
he will remain in this country for many
months He Is as 1.-THE and flexible as a
rubber doll, and the way in which he
bends and twists and almost literally ties
himself into knots Is really remarkable.
His weird costume. which makes him look
like dragon, adds TO the effectiveness
of his work.
Joe Hart's pretty Rain Dears' will be
at Keith's next week as a special feature
of the bill. This act is one OF the prettf-
est girl acts in vaudeville and IL was
one OF the seasons biggest hits last year
at Keith's. There are nine pretty girls
in the act, all OF them good singers and
graceful dancers. Louise Montrose, who
heads the act is well-known to patrons
OF comic operas. The miniature musical
comedy has three distinct scenes, Toy
land" Iceland" and WAY Down
Yonder In the Cornfield." The 'dears' all
| dress in appropriate costumes for each OF
tneS5e scenes ana give tune1ul singing
numbers in each. All of the music Is Of
very tuneful quality and the final num-
ber. in which they sing and dance amid
heavy rain storm Is one OF the prettiest
| novelties imaginable.
There is scarcely anyone in this broad
land who has not by this time either

to state that the Quincy Adams Sawyer"

"B. =. Hutchinson used TO say no

burglar could get in without being dis
turbed by some patrolman. Mr.. Hutch
inson also agreed to leave some article
of value in he parlor where 1t could
be found readily. The chief said the
robbery would be committed within the
following week.
Three days later Mr.. Hutchinson

that both sheets of his bed, which had
been in place when he retired. were
gone. So was the antique gold clock
