BREED THEATER.
~The Fish Pirates" Sensational Nov
ing Picture.

With the presentation of the above
named picture, the patrons of Breed
theater have one of the most enter
tanning pictures of the season. A
quantity beautiful love story is woven
around the various incidents and fin
ished action in the piece make it a
picture long to be remembered at the
same time enlightening the public
upon subject that is most interest
ing. Many exquisite marine views are
shown during the unfolding Of the
plot, thereby adding much to the real
ism of the picture.
The interesting and beautiful views
of quaint old Norwich are being shown
regularly, many of them being a rev.
citation to both old and young. One
of the greatest successes of the bill is
the sweet old song, Roll on, Silv'ry
Moon, as rendered by Madame Morelle,
whose sweet voice and faultless per-
Torrance have won for her a high
standard of excellence. She also sings
the delightful southern song of New
in's, entitled Mighty LAX a Rose,
bringing out the subtle pathos Of 1t.
with her rich lower register. Mr. De-
laney is scoring big with the military
song, True Blue, and the artistic slides
that accompany it are a pictorial feast.
An entire change of bill takes place
Thursday, when extra strong attrac-
tions will be offered. Other big pic
lures are The Little Drummer Bow.
Parted but United Again, Tommy's
Own Invention, Summer Home for
School Children. Butte Chaumont (sce-

Satisfied With Dingley Rates.

1t begins to look suspiciously as
though congress were getting ready to
line up on the basis of the old Dingley
duties. We see what has happened in
regard to the glove and stocking duties.
They were greatly increased by the
house Of representatives. and it was
said at the time that the demand made
by the manufacturers for an increase
of duties was intended solely to fore
stall and prevent a lowering of them.
Now the finance committee of the SEN
ate has simply restored the Dingley
taxes. The manufacturers will get
what they had before, get probably all
they expected to get, and the women
will be content. And yet on all the
important articles in these schedules
there has been no revision. The stu
alton has been so beautifully handled
