BREED THEATER.
Benedict Arnold" Feature Picture of
 Local Interest.

A picture that has a peculiar local attraction will be shown at the Breed theater the first part of this week. under the title of Benedict Arnold. and is one of the most absorbing his torical subjects ever presented and one worthy of a place beside the notable Washington series, which made talk the country over and which enjoyed unusual favor in France and Italy.
 Arnold, reproved by General Wash ington, decides, with the bitter hatred of a small nature, to betray West Point into the hands of the British. and to that end enters into negotia- tions with Major Andre as represent alive of the British general
 All arrangements for the betrayal are completed, and Andre starts back. but is captured and searched by the Continentals. and the incriminating papers found, whereupon he is hustled off to prison. He is denied the privi- lege of dying like a soldier, and is led out to his ignOminious death on the gallows, and. as a fitting climax. the death of Arnold is shown in a Lon don garret, penniless and despised by all unattended save by his own guilty fears and the vision of the flag to which he had been faithless.
 This film is a triumph of the pro- ,ucers art, the pictures being taken upon the very spots made famous by the various incidents. The balance of the big bill is equally strong and att tractiye,

This story is said to have been told in the smokeroom of transatlantic liner: The young marquis of Angle sey, who died in Monte Carlo some five years ago. went to extremes in everything. He was very intelligent. though. Once. at his historic castle in Wales, there was a slight fire. So, lest the priceless pile burn down. he ordered an enormous quantity of hand grenades. or extinguishers. from Lon. don. When the grenades arrived they were hung all over the castle. but. though it Was an enormous place. there were still several dozen grenades left over at the end of the hanging. And what shall l do with them, my lord ?'' the butler asked. Lord Angle sey coughed--he was already in a pretty bad way-and said dryly to .he butler: You may put them in my coffin."

THE AUDITORIUM.

A sparkling bill of vaudeville and
 motion pictures is promised at the Auditorium for the week of Dec 9th. That funny team of contortion dancers ard trapeze artists, Welch and Malt land, have an act that for grotesque and eccentric movements could not be surpassed. Billy Barry, Jr., son of the famous old time Irish comedian. pre- sents an Irish comedy sketch, The Plumbers Mistake, that is replete with bright, witty lines and amusing situa- tions. A novel turn Is that of Francis Wood, The Man with the Hoops. MT. Wood causes these wooden rings to re- volve and move about in a manner which denotes marvellous dexterity on the part of the performer. Ralph Whitehead, singing monologist, will offer all that is new in the line of songs and stories. Miss 5Iorelle's illustrated song for the first three days will be I've Taken Quite a Fancy to You. The motion pictures should not be over looked, especially the sensational west ern reel, The Cattle Thieves. For Wednesday and Thursday a special feature picture will be shown entitled Drink, from the famous play of that name. This is the longest picture ever taken of one subject and is 2,106 feet in length. It is a marvel of photog- raphy.

BROADWAY THEATER.
The Candy Shop.

On Thursday, Dec. g, for one night only, at the Broadway theater, local patrons of musical comedy will get their first glimpse of The Candy Shop, the newest and biggest of the musical comedies sponsored by Charles Dilling- ham. The production has just ended an all autumn run at the Fremont the- ater, Boston, prior to beginning which it enjoyed an all spring stay to crowd ed houses at the Knickerbocker thea ter, New York, and an all summer run in Chicago. The attraction has special interest because of the inclusion in its cast of the three big stage favorites- William Rock, Maud Fulton and Frank Lalor-the first two furore hit here in former musical success, The Or enid, and in vaudeville, and the latter recently the big personal success in Coming Thro' the Rye. May Bailey, Mrs. Annie Yeamans, Florence Morri- son, Mile Rayo and others are also noted in what may fairly be termed sensational cast. The girly galaxies of the production are said to rank with the best beauty ensembles of the Dil- lingham musical output.

About two years ago was troubled wfthmy head being scaly. Shortly after that I had an attack of typhoid fever and was out of the hospital possibly two months when first noticed the loss of hair, my scalp being still scaly.. started to use dandruff cures to no effect whatever. I had actually lost hope of saving any hair at all. I could brush 1t of my coat by the handful. was afraid to comb it. But after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap and nearly box of Cuticura Ointment, the change was surprising. My scalp is now clear and healthy as could be and my hair thicker than ever, whereas had my mind made np to be bald. W. F. Steese, 5Sl2 Broad N l, Pittsburg, Penn, May and 21. '0s."
