that the spirit of his old employer

The mental strain of having to ride
an engine at full speed every day or

of his friends had been mangled and

the mind of Roy M. Scott, the locomo.

A Mentorious Program.

A really excellent show was intro
duced at the Unique theatre last
evening which will continue to the
end of the current week. The pic
lures are marvelously steady and
clear and are interesting in their
variety. Especially so was the film
showing the capture of the gigantic
funny fish in Sicily. An act in
which good singing predominates is
that presented by De Fur and Estes.
The dialogue is snappy and new.
Miss Estes besides having more than
an ordinary amount of good looks,
possesses stage presence. Two
quick changes of costume and a
c,ever dance are introduced and the
close of the act is especially pleasing.
One of the latest songs of the year,
When Eyes Like Yours, Look in
Eyes Like Mine" is sung in duet
form with a spotlight, which brings
forth much applause. This act
alone should bring crowds to the
opera house and with the excellent
line of pictures, a show unequalled
is presented to the public which
should not be overlooked.
