High Class Moving Pictures and Illus
 trated Songs.

Coon clean fun, plenty of it, is what is being offered this week at the Breed theater in the screaming pictures, Mrs. Jones Entertains and The Human Wheel, both of which are Full of laugh able situations. The beautiful colored moving picture The Bewildered Pro- lessor, is a spectacular one, and full of pretty girls, entrancing pictures, bril- liant costumes and spirited acting. This is a most charming picture and elicits many expressions of wonderment and admiration. The feature picture of the week is, mo doubt, The Cord of Life, and is one of those pictures in which there are no dull moments, the charac- ters being vivacious, the costuming cor rect, and the participants very attrac- tive. This is @ story of gypsy life, en- acted upon most picturesque grounds.
 The hgrate is the title of the other very strong picture, and is a story of camp life in the districts where bears abound, and deals with the every day life of trappers, and contains much that will interest and entertain sports men.
 Madam Morelle made a hit with her sympathetic ballad. So Soon We Are Forgotten, with beautiful slides to ac- company same, afterwards singing Robyn's Answer. to the delight Of all
 MT. Cooppers pretentioas song for the week is With You to the End of the World, a most pleasing tenor song, and splendidly rendered.

BROADWAY THEATER.
1.-The TraveIina Salesman"

Tn connection with the coming ap- pearance in this city, on Monday NIaroh Sth, at the Broadway theater of James Forbes successful comedy The Traveling Salesman" 1t may be of interest to the theater- goerS Of this city to know the real story of how this comedy success of the century came to be written.
 It will be remembered that it was MT. Forbes who wrote ''rhe Chorus Lady" in which Rose Stahl Is now starring and which contributed great ly to her elevation among the leading artists of the country. One day, while on the train coming from Chicago, where ""The Chorus Lady" was playing, Mir Forbes was Introduced to several gentlemen representing commercial houses, and one of them said: MT, Forbes. it seems to me that tt might be a good idea for some playwright to
 H F. Williams is in Colchester, write a play dealing with the drum ners. Possibly you are not aware that there are over three hundred thousand of these in the United States, and there is hardly @ day pass es that one of these knights of the road does not meet with an experience of a most interesting character with an extremely humorous side to 1t. Now if you would take some of these experd- ences and weave them into a story, l am sure that the public would be as quick to appreciate such play as would the dFummers." A little while after the subject was dismissed, and several months passed before this con versation was recalled The idea grew upon Mr. Forbes. until finally he was tmpelled with a desire to create such q play. His next move was to acquaint himself with a number of commercial men whose acquaintanceship he culti- vated. One day he asked one of them if he would object to his accompany ing the gentleman on a trip, and per mission was readily granted The jour ney covered nearly ten weeks over @ number of states, in which many towns were visited Plenty of atmosphere was gathered up. and Mir. Forbes hay ing become thoroughly familiar with road Nfe immediately set to work with the result "The Traveling Salesman" |" which is now in it's seventh month of uninterrupted prosperity in New York. One of the towns visited was so pictur- esque that it was taken as the locale for the play. Seats on sale at the box office and usual places on Friday, March ,, at o'clock.

-'The Great Divide" the play of the decade, if not of the century, will be presented by Henry Miller at the Broadway theater this evening. A su- perb production, eq91alling in every de- tail the one that won the praise of crit ics and artists at the Princess and Daly's theaters, and the Academy of Music, New York, the past two years, and a cast of unusual strength and ability will be seen here. The story of the play is of great interest. In the first act Ruth Jordan goes about sing ang for very joy. Life in the wide west mas taken on new meanings for her and she is drunk with love of it. A young doctor from the east asks her to marry him, but she turns from him. He is tediously patient and faultlesS. Alone sn the little home on the Gila desert she sings happily over her work. She goes to the open door to gaze at the stars as she brushes her hair. A steahiy step startles her. She shuts the door and bars it. There is a. bab- ble of drunken voices, the door yields to force and three Towdies in miners dress burst into the cabin. They rush at the girl with jocJIlsr endearments, trying to kiss her. Crouching in ter TOT in a4 corner she appeals to one of the trio to save her from the others. She ouers to marry him. to go away with him, end never tell the manner of their meeting. The man, Stephen GheHt, agrees, but the others protest. The girl and the man who has bought her, left alc no, prepare to start on their journey. The girl pleads with the man
 to give her up. but he holds her to her promise. He has saved her from the

 The settings of the play are appro- priate to it's matter. The first scene is a ranch house in Arizona. the second a plateau-The Roof of the World high up. in the Catalina. mountains; and the third, the parlor of an old colonial home in Milford Corners, Mass. The scenes help to emphasize the keynote of the play-the spirit of the untram- mened west in conflict with the spirit established east.

Dignity Is What We Use To Conceal Our Ignorance"

 We've no dignity. natural or as- sumed, and if it's use was attempted by us the public would discount 1t.

The rancher is a man of note

But does not weartthat same old coat

He sticks down in his pocket
And puts the baby in a chair
And helps his wife TO rock it.
He pays too much we hear him tell
For things he has to buy,
But when he has fruit to sell
II never gets too high.
Tell him some butter you would buy.
He says he will bring it round
But does not think so very high at
Fifty cents a pound.
He says his taxes are too high,
That's one thing he well knows,
But thinks ii is little strange,
Where all the money goes.
But as the money has been paid.
He says il may remain.
But seems to be somewhat afraid.
II wont come back again. f. II. X,
