Week Of May 10.-Cook Stock Co.
Cook Stock Co,

Cook Stock Co.
A special feature of all the plays
given by the Carl w. Cook Stock Co.
at the Gennett theater this week will
be the attention to detail at all times.
Believing that it is the little things
that develop the greater things, the
management of the company has spar
ed no effort or expense to have their
productions complete in every way,
even to the most minute detail. A Wis
it to the. theater during their engage
ment will convince the most skeptic1e
that it is possible to give first class
performances at small prices OF ad-
mission.
The New Players.
The Clayton Drew players were all
that was predicted for them, Their
playlet is based upon the murder OF
Caesar by Brutus and Cassius and is
a burlesque upon the coming of Gaze
sar's ghost to haunt Brutus for his
horrible deed. Instead of carrying the
story throughout in the serious vein
the leading man puts humor of the
rarest sore into his lines. moderizing
the lines. and the house is in a con-
tinuous uproar while the playlet is
on. There are many provincialisms
and localisms worked and woven in
and the burlesque is carried out adj
mirably.
You can swear on oath and bet your
last cent that the Bannon Troupe of
jugglers is the best company of its
kind on the road. One thing that will
amuse you is the way those men
throw their Indian clubs at each other
without injury and real sham-battle
takes place which is very pleasing to
the audience.
Miss Caroline Pulliam has a voice
that Is as rare as rose on the Sa-
hara. She is charming young lady,
too. and this adds to the great hit she
makes.
At the Arcade.
Tuesday, Chinatown Slavery"
Strange as it may seem to the aver
age citizen of these enlightened times,
slavery still exists, and a traffic in
human beings is carried on today, in
open defiance Of our laws.
True the perpetrators are heathens.
and never have. nor will they ever
acknowledge the laws of the govern
ment under which they gain their live
lfhood. How our laws are thus open
ly defied is clearly set forth in this
picture story OF an instance of slav-
cry, recently unearthed by the efforts
| of a Presbyterian minister.
The picture is rich in the life of the
Chinese in underground San Francis
CO. It's a thriller from start to finish,
the scene in the river running beneath
the opium den being especially fine
A Joss house is reproduced in every
detail. even to the heather worship
ers and their Idol. Taken as a whole
the picture Is one OF the classiest of
the year.
For those who like to laugh there
will be side ticker called The Ad-
ventures OF Keg,' that will bring the
tears of Joy overtime.
