in pantomine and which. accordingly. should
make Superba more popular. The cast has
been completely changed with the exception
of Fred Hanlon and William Hanlon I'd,
who are retained for their original and IA
miliar clown specialties. There are also
many modernized Hanlon tricks and
transformation scenes. Specialties are
also offered by Hilda earle and her twelve
Military S-uffragettes,' Bess Rosa, a
singing soubrette, and others. One of the
new scenes is a humorous idea OF the
Roosevelt shooting expedition in Africa.
Pico. the clown, happens on the party
when It is surrounded by lions, elephants,
monkeys, and other animals, but manages
to save all when danger threatens, turning
his useful man into a machine gun. The
discovery of the inch pole also affords an
opportunity for some of the humor. The
transformation scene deals with patriotism
and shows 'Old Glory" with a battleshlp
pictured in the scene with ingenious cleo
trical effects. There is also a marvellous
conservatory, the human flower vase, the
never falling ~aeroplane, the magic mirror,
the Maypole festival, the fairy farm yard,
the ~cocoanut dance and the thrilling leap
of horse and driver over the "chasm of
DEATH" Pico continues to get into trouble
with the usual l%aughable results. This
clown has always had a fascination for
adults as well as children This year he
does more ridiculous stunts than ever be-
fore. The action is also more rapid than
in any Of the previous productions which
the Hanlon name has made famous.

noon and continuing every afternoon and
evening, inclusive, of next Wednesday, the
Burwood will offer. in conjunction with the
Incompatible display of moving pictures
that is now the magnet, an absolute nov
city in the form of a special Illustrated
lecture entitled, prison Life at Joliet"
showing all the phases of prison life in the
penitentiary at Joliet, Ill. The pictures to
be shown were taken by a Mr.. Clark. who,
for seventeen years, was the official pho
tographer at the prison. The views are
the most comprehensive ever taken of this
most interesting subject and are greatly
aiding students of the prison reform wave
which is now sweeping the country. The
pictures were taken under the auspices of
the state OF Illinois and are absolutely
authentic. This peep at the worlds most
famous penitentiary wildly portrays the
environment and life peculiar to the con-
victs every day existence, and shows
plainly how 1000 of the most desperate
criminals of America are kept in confine-
ment. Individual pictures of some of the
most eminent rascals and hardened evil
doors confined behind this famous bas-
tiles grim walls are shown, together with
scenes In the female department, hospital,
cell houses, pest house and morgue. A
most Interesting and pitiable inmate Of
the big institution is the prison baby, born
IN a cell and never having been outside
the prison walls. ). Rome Rice will Iucidly
