NEW THEATER is LEASED TO
THEAToRluM OWNERS.
BIG OPENING TUESDAY
Success Of the Popular Theatorlum
Causes Owners to Open Another
Animated Picture House In Billings
Admission to BE Ten Cents.

II Inc Orpneum tneater on NOrIn
Twenty-sixth street has changed
hands. It has been leased by q. HI.
Bailey and Sam Klein, the owners OF
the Theatorlum, and hereafter will be
conducted as a high class animated
picture house, where will be shown
the best Aims manufactured by the
best moving picture makers.
The leasing Of the Orpheum by the
owners Of the Th%eatorium leans that
Billings will have two first class o
ing picture theaters. It Is the inten-
ton Of the new owners to run 1t on.
the same plan as the Theatorium,
changing pictures just as often. The
same pictures will never be seen in
beth houses. All the Aims will come
here direct from the factory and then
be sent away. This will enable the
people Of Billings to round out q de-
lightful evenings entertainment by
visiting the two playhouses.
Success 10 Assured.
The success which has been attain
ed by the Theatorium since Manager
Klein secured 1t assures that the
Orpheum will hereafter be a popular
playhouse. The addition Of the Or
pheum was made by Mr. Klein be.
cause he was SO crowded with bust
ness at the Theatorium that often the
people crowded the entrance and side
walk waiting to. get in. Now there
will be two such places for them to
visit during the evening.
Messrs. Klein and Bailey will take
charge Of the Orpheum tomorrow and
their grand opening will take place
Tuesday evening. "A complete pro
gram for the opening will be printed
in The Gazette Tuesday morning. II
will be an all feature program, which
is being hurried here from Chicago
by express. 1t will consist Of the
finest Pathe pictures.
Control Fine Pictures.
The control Of these Aims in this
country is with the n Of thu
Theatorium and Orpheum,. who have
a contract for one copy Of every pic
ture made by the greatest animated
picture manufacturers. They also
have contracts with the Edison com
pany and several other moving pic
ture makers. Thus they have. more
than enough sources from which t.
secure a supply of pictures for twt
complete and different performances
Of pictures that have never beer
shown in the west.
Excellent Theater.
The new theater is one Of the bes
houses Of the kind. It has been ed
pecially designed for a vaudeville ant
moving picture show and has n Q
the finest lights in the country. TIL
seats are opera chairs, upholstere'
and set on an incline. There ar
boxes and other features. The build
ing IL we'll ventilated and equipped
With the proper exits. It will max
an ideal theater for It's new manage
and is certain to become popular as
10 cent theater, where M can secur

The Spanish eaueon.

Primarily the galleon was but a
peaceful merchant ship. but by the
irony Of fate she became, almost from
her inception, a center Of the ferces,
fighting. Square rugged and high Of
stem and stern. broad Of bow and low
of waist, with massive bulwarks and
%forecastle, and poop three and four
decks high. she possessed a picturesque
appearance, but little Of sensible naval
architecture. The stem was clnmsy,
broad and blunt and smashed heavily
through the waves to the great detri.
ment of speed. This and the towering
stern presented such a surface to the
wind that the difficulties of steering
were quite formidable, and six or eight
men at the wheel were not unusual.
The method in this apparent madness
Of marine construction was the land.

London, April 18.-A particularly
interesting description of conditions
in Hardin and Mukden, in view of the
recent discussion over the government
of Hardin and the trouble with the
Japanese at the American consulate
in Mukden, is contained in q letter
written by the correspondent at Pc
kin Of the Reuter- news agency. The
letter, dated March 20. follows:
"During,a recent tour In Manchuria
L visited Hardin and found a remark
able state of affairs exists there. The
Russian town is governed and domi-
mated by a private railroad company,
the Chinese Eastern railroad, the
chairman of which styles himself the
civil government
s"The government Of the company is

"The Russian railway telegraph
works indifferently. It is often found
that q letter is delivered more quickly
than a telegram. What strikes one
most about the Russian town ID the
absence Of any police on the streets
and the soldiers who are there do no
public work, much as 1t is needed.
"Trade is at a standstill and will
probably continue so al long as pres

themselves grumble at the lack OF

town is in q much better condition

HAS BEEN WORKING YEARS FOR
HIGHER DRAMATIC ART.
oBsCURITy 10 FAME /:
Began Her Professional Career as
Rosalind In "As You Like it"-Ar-
thur Pinero Impressed With Her
Ability AS An Actress.

Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the great
English actress, whom Billings the
atrical patrons are to have the pleas
ure of greeting next Saturday night,
in her field Of artistic expression, has
been working for years for the higher
dramatic art, without assuming the
airs Of ayprotagonist or the Mysteries
OF a martyr, and has fought a good
fight in behalf Of reasonableness, re-
.straint, poetic Interpretation, and the
eloquence of suggestion and imitation
as opposed to mere acting.
She has made most discriminating
audiences of two countries e the
charm and potency of her method,
and given them a hearty distaste for
the banality and crudity of a kind of
acting which makes it's point by q.
series of emotional explosions, which.
relies on isolated tours de force for
defining character and carrying along
the action Of the play.
What is more important from a
practical point Of view is that the
great public has awakened to the
meaning and beauty of her efforts.
She is no longer a woman Of curiosity.
She does now draw the idle sensation
seekers merely, but she is command
ing the absorbed attention of those
who take the theater seriously.
Born in London.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell is a Lon.
doner by birth. Her father was Eng
fish and her mother Italian. AS q
child she possessed a high degree OF
musical talent and won a scholarship
at the Guildhall School of Music, Lon
don, for a three years tuition in Leip.
sic. The prospect Of a brilliant must
cal career was cut short by a very
romantic episode. She was then but
II years old, and instead of taking up
the scholarship, she eloped with Pat
rick Campbell, then a stalwart young
soldier Of 10. They took up their resi-.
dence in the London suburb Of Nor.
wood. BY way Of recreation and
amusement Mrs. Campbell Joined an
amateur organization called .The
Anomalies Amateur Dramatic club
in which she soon won a position OF
leadership.
Mrs. Campbell began her profes
sional career as Rosalind in "As You
Like IT," in which she toured the Eng
lish provinces. The public is familiar
