This afternoon and evening will be
the last chance of witnessing the
present good bill at the Opera house
consisting of the Aerial Wilson's in
their thrilling acrobatic feats on a re-
volving ladder suspending from the
top of the stage in which the male
member of the team introduces a bit
OF comedy that is in contrast with the
graceful work of his beautiful and
artistic partner. Marion and Dean, a
pair with some class, do a turn that
| is thoroughly enjoyable introducing
something new in singing. dancing and
get-back. The pictures are all new
in subject and style of acting, show
ing to excellent advantage the dramat-
ic efforts of the leading pantomine
actors of both continents with set
tings and stage accessories that make
these pictures the leading and most
popular brand on the market. The
| picture bearing the title of Napoleon
and Princess Hatfield" is truly a mag
nificent production. A depletion of a
dramatic incident in the adventurous
| life of the invincible Corsican upon
his entry into the realms of Frederick
William who retreats to konisberg
and then appoints the conqueror tenn
porary governor. The keys are handed
over by the Marshal Hatfield, who,
afterward violates the compact en-
tered into and is charged with a seri-
Gus offence, is tried and ordered shot.
The beautiful princess learns of the
sentence and goes herself to plead for
her husbands life and Napoleon is
stirred by her pleadings, her beauty
and loyalty to her husband and Or
ders his release-later writing to
Josephine telling of his act because
the Princess resembled Josephine. The
other pictures are equally interesting
and the whole forming one delightful
attraction to satisfy the mind of the
most fastidiouS amusement seeker.
