LUR|D PICTURES
At OPERA HOUSE
ANIMATED PHOTOGRAPH OF DIS
NAL FUTURE ABODE OF
THE WICKED.
MATINEE AND EVENING
Mr.. c. A. Bradley Will Conclude
Present Engagement in His
Native City-Five Cents
Admission.

This afternoon and evening per
formances at the Cairo opera house
mark the close Of the present engage,
ment of that clever and versatile
comedian, Mr.. Charles A. Bradley.
During the past week he has highly
entertained and amused the thousands
that have nightly attended with his
spot light and burnt cork specialties
rendering coon melodies and mono
logues rich with local applications and
teeming with wit and repartee. In
his references to local conditions and
prominent persons, he has never been
offensive. His references were al
ways intended to provoke profnse
laughter but never resOrting to any
thing that might make the person or
thing ridiculous in the eyes or opinion
of his audiences.
In concluding his present engage
ment Mr. Bradley will put forth his
best efforts in order to make a last
| ing impression in his native city, al
though he does not expect to return
very soon as he is booked solidly over
| the Sullivau.Considine circuit in the
! northwest and Pacific slope for 2,
consecutive weeks.
In conjunction with Mr.. Bra lley's
act, moving picture. Mephisto's Son
aptly described in advertisements as
a masterpiece of Pathe. the word S
greatest and best film manufacturer
is offered as the predominatiuG pie
ture of the moving picture world.
Mephistos Son is said by those in
a position to know to be a picture
in red fire scintillating with satire
and bristlng with grim humor in
three acts and eight scenes ''and dis
rolling many superstitions rcgarding
the supposed dark and dismal future
abode of the wicked
There is nothing in the picture to
affront or frightcn the refined person
or timid child or woman, "as there is
total absence of a caudal appendage
cloven hoof and only one pair OF
short horns in evidence"
In Mephisto's Son We are promised
complete mechanical effects as an ac
compartment approaching realism
The performances OF Mephisto's Son
will be inauguratcd with a matinee
commencing at 2:30 this afternoon
and terminating AT $50 while the
evening performances will begin at
1880 and conclude at 1880. The low
| price of admission of five cents in
sures a record breaking crowd at III,
opera house both in the afternoon
land evening.

Talking Machines

Mighty few people have any idea of the importance of the place taken by the talking machine in the every day life of the people of not only the States, but also of Alaska. A few years ago the machines were only found in enter tainment halls and in connection with travelling shove. Now the cost has been. reduced until they are tound in the homes of not only the rich, but the poor as well. What was once consid- cred luxury is now a common neces- sity. In many of the homes of the people of the middle or working class, where perhaps opportunity has pre-. vented the mem bers of the family from developing latent musical ability, the talking machine comes as a blessing, as it enable those who love music, and would otherwise be unable to gratify their taste, to enjoy the productions of the masters, rendered by the best mu- sicians of the world, and at cost that is simply nominal.
 Southeastern Alaska is not bit be hind the rest of the world in grasping new ideas. An illustration of this is the success of Mr. J. Heubner, of this city, in selling talking machines. Only little over a year ago Mir. Heubner took the agency for the Edison and the Victor machines, the two best makes, and since that time he has sold in Southeastern Alaska alone over 800 machines. And the business is not de- olining in the least A recent shipment received included something like 60 machines. He also keeps on hand, be. sides complete supply of the records made for the two machines, the very latest of the new records that are made and sent out each month, which include the latest in new songs, the speeches of politicians, etc. Mir. Heubner also car ries a large stock of pianos, organs and other musical instruments, in which he enjoys large trade.
