BREED HEATER.
Up San Juan Hill, Historical Feature
 Picture.

History is well represented this week at the Breed theater, as two of the reels are among this class and consist of the two greatest novelties in their line, entitled Up San Juan Hill and the other Benedict Arnold. The wonderful story of Arnold's treachery is well known- and the famous scene where Arnold's secret meeting with Major Andre takes place and the delivery of the plans of the Notifications of West Point into the hands of the British, through Andre, is a most spectacular scene, as is the capture of Andre by the Continentals and the subsequent searching of his clothing and discov- cry of the stolen plans.
 Up San Juan Hill is a picture that thrills every true American and the delightful romance connected with the story makes it all the more interesting and picturesque. The famous fight of the hill is a most spectacular scene and, all of the famous leaders are clearly shown, including the Rough Riders, with Roosevelt in the lead. The strong undercurrent of Spanish hatred shows up conspicuously after the bat tie. as they have no other alternative, they are guided by spirit of revenge only, but are unsuccessful in this, the Americans having forever plotted from our American civilization the oppres- sion of Spain.

THE AUDITORIUM.

The management of the Auditorium has put together this week show that for completeness has perhaps never been equalled in this popular vaude- vile house
 Welch and Maitland head the bill with a screamingly funny and the most sensational legmania contortion act ever seen in this city. The trapeZe work of thse clever artists is far above the average run of this kind of act and is more than appreciated by the audi ences, judging from the insistent ap- plause given at all performances.
 Ralph Whitehead, a neat appearing monologuist, gets away with some very good stuff in this parctnlar line He is the possessor of a rich baritone voice, and always makes a hit with his new and catchy Italian songs. MT. Whitehead closes his act with a recita- ton depicting prize fight, in which he himself takes part and which stirs his hearers to the highest pitch of excite ment.
 The comedy Irish skit introduced by Mfr. and Mrs. Billy Barry, entitled ''The Plumbers Mistake" is rich in comedy and flowing with amusing situations. The novel finish of this act fs:a positive scream.
 The novelty hoop rolling turn by Francis Wood shows the skill and dex- terity which this celevr performer has attained in the handling of these seemingly human objects, and his ap- pearance on the stage makes. tha on- lockers sit up and take notice.
 Special attention is called to the moving picture sensation, Drink which will be shown Wednesday and Thurs dey only.

A SONG.

Fair winds and Eoiden suns Down the years dim aisles of gray
 depart; But you are the dear white rose of the
 world
 That I hide in my heart. Last Leaves, and the firek wild snow, And the earth through an iron void
 Is whirledt But safe from the tempnst abide in my
 heart,
 o dear whate rose of the wsrldi Blithe air and flashing wing, And awakened sap that thrills and But hid from the riot aud haste of the
 spring
 Sleeps one whste rose. O scattered leaves of dsysl O 1ow-voleed glor1ss that fade and
 departf But chan galess and dear through the
 changing year Blooms one white rose in my heart. Meredith Nicholson, in 'The Little Brown Jug"

No cast assembled for the pres- entation of musical follies ranks in the number of it's big musical comedy names with the company engaged in this presentation. An organization may with justice be classed as sensa- tional that enlists at the same time the services of William Rock, Maud Fulton, Frank Lalor. Mrs. Annie Yea mans, May Boley, Florence Morrison. Mile Rayo, Kinzie Higgins, Edmund Lawrence, Douglas Stevenson, Chin Hong, famous Chinese comedian, and Lucy Weston, a singer of vivacious songs of international favor.
