ROOM AT A PREMIUM LAST
NIGHT.

The popularity of the Gem theater
is shown by the great crowds the at
fractions of the house are drawing.
AS a usual thing Monday is a bad
night for the show business, but last
night at all three performances the
house was crowded so that every
available bit of standing room at the
rear of the seats was taken.
The bill was very attractive all
through, and the Deloys. the headlin-
ers in vaudeville, proved one of the
best attractions which has visited
this city for a long time. Their m.u-
steal comedy, Smoky" is sparkling
and pleases all who see it. Miss
Myrtle Deloy catches the house with
her fine singing, her voice being
sweet and OF unusual range, and her
pleasing coon songs and buck dan
cling are irresistible. These two vau-
deville acts are well worth the price
Of admission alone.
Percy Moore continues to be a
prime favorite with his illustrated
songs, his strong, sweet voice filling
the house and pleasing all his hear
ers.
This evening there will be a change
of pictures, the special feature being
a beautiful representation in colors
of the Sleeping Beauty the old ia
vorite fairy story. This is one of the
best of this class of animated pic
lures and is sure to prove a great at
traction, for even the old delight il
pictures and stories which delighted

In fact not bed at all, but is the
trade name for the inner part OF a

The muff bed consists of double

The making of muf beds is bust

sold to the furriers in the simplest
form, just the bed or bag stuffed with
down, the furrier putting in the SILK

ished up when the fur is put on.
Like many other things, muff beds
must be made in advance to have
them ready, and so there are now be-
