THE AUDITORIUM.


 For those wishing to give the chil- dren treat, don't fail to take the lit tie ones to the Auditorium to see Charles Carlos Lflliputian circus. The almost human intelligence of the dogs, ponies and birds. etc. shows what may be accomplished by humane method Of training, as MT. Carlos believes that kindness is the only way to teach arii- mals. MT. Carlos contributes largely to the act with his marvellous. feats of equilibrium.
 Another turn that is very popular with the ladies and children is James E. McDuff with his vocal and ven triloquial limitations, which are won derfully true to nature. The Marshalls have a pleasing speciality introducing James Marshall, the phenomenal voiced singer, who is also a very ac- complished pianist. his ragtime solos showing great skill and execution. Adeline Francis renders several catchy songs that win much appreciation. Lillian Morelle will sing on Thursday and the rest of the week Poverty the original hard luck song. It is appro- priately illustrated.
 Pictures for Wednesday and Thurs day include Cosette, a continuation of the Jean Valjean series, by Victor Hugo Other subjects are A Tumultu- ous Elopement, The Man and the Girl. etc +i

Sealed Instructions, Thrilling Story of

Another great attraction of a widely different character comes to the Breed lheaieT today for the remainder of the week. This time it is a story of life in Washington, D. C.. a locality which is unsurpassed for variety of conditions and picturesque settings. The picture door of the White House, looking down thl broad avenue. A messenger is speeding up to the door in an auto, secretly followed by another. The messenger is ushered into the presi- dents private office and given a letter of extreme secrecy and importance. As he enters his machine he notices that he is followed by another machine and returns to the White House for further instructions. fearing that the former conversation has been over heard. He stops at his own home on his way t0 deliver the message and W hile resting a moment drops asleep. The villain. having gained access to his house, secrets himself behind some draperies and, putting some drops of oriate into his tea, retires from the room. The messenger drinks the tea and, falling asleep again, the villain secures the secret message, and from this moment on the picture is one se- ries of exciting incidents and the cli- max Is most thrilling and novel
 The balance is equally fine, Miss WGIcctt adding greatly to the pro- gramme by her exceptionally fine rem dering of the vocal arrangement of Hearts and Flowers.
