A Spanish army officer has been
| cashiered from the army of Spain for
robbing the government while Il COM

from Spain but was caught at the
frontier and was returned to Jail in
Madrid. He has a beautiful daugh.
ter and faithful friend IN a priest
who visit him in Jail. The priest car
RES on a clandestine correspondence
for him. as the officer $ supposed to
be incommunciade.
One fine day he tells the priest.
who asks him for money for the sup
port of his daughter, that he has a
trunk in a railroad station in France
that contains 900. 900 francs which he
Skipped out of Spain before his ar
rest. He also tells the priest that in
a valice held among mis- other effects
by the Spanish court. is a check pay
able to bearer for $4,000 francs.
The priest is forbidden to NEEDLE
with the matter and the two decide
to write to persons in America who
might want to make some easy mon
ey and offer him the whole $4,000
francs in the valice and third of the
900 900 in the trunk if he will come
to Spain and put up the money to

VARIED ACTS ARE
CHUTES OFFERING
"Pharaoh's Daughter an Illu-
sion, Will Be Attraction
at the Park

Varied programs have become char
acteristic of the Chutes Sunday offer
ings, and this week will maintain the
standard that has been set by the man
agement of the big amusement park.
Chief among the new attractions will
be "Pharaoh's Daughter" a mystifying
illusion, which was one of the features
at the Midwinter fair. Housed in a
miniature theater erected especially for
its presentation, this ancient Egyptian
myth will be told in song and story
with suitable music and exquisite
scenery to accompany it.
While Pharaohs daughter promises
to hold quite a reception on her own
account she will be but a small portion
of today's new open air program In
addition there will be aerialists, gym
nasts, jugglers and clowns. The Wal
ton brothers, midair performers who
won much popularity with Ringing
Brothers this season, will be one of the
attractions Another Will be the Ha-
vana family, European equilibrists, who
are said to be unusually skillful. A
third will be found in Kelly and Day,
who will offer Juggling oddities and
feats of balancing. Durgan and Ern-
est, who have made good with their
laughable log rolling stunts in the lake,
will be held over, and "Slivers" Oakes
and his comedians will furnish the
latest fall STYLES in burlesques.

ENGLISH COMEDY
IS VALENCIA hit
Wexford in "Mr. Hopkinson'
Proves to Be a Sensational
Success

The verdict on all sides regarding
the r. c. Carton comedy Mr.. Hopkin-
son." now occupying the boards of
the Valencia theater, with Dallas We'll
ford, the originator. in the title role,
is that it is more than amusing. 1t
is literally "a screaming hit" a new
stage creation, practically without a
flaw. dealing with subject that cuts
deep into the daily life of impoverished
aristocracy.
The plot is most interesting and
full of comical situations. The duke
and duchess Of Braceborough have on
their hands Lady Thyra Egglesby,
whose father, the earl of Addiction, ex-
poets them to marry off well. The
earl holds a mortgage on the Bracebor-
ough's castle and since he becomes
rather ugly about foreclosing it the
ducal couple find 1t necessary ito take
steps to find a moneyed match for
Lady Thyra. Through the suggestion
of the Hon. Otho Dursingham Mr..
Hopkinson is brought on the field as a
suitor for Thyra's hand. Hopkinson
was formerly clerk and then a book
keeper in shop in Upper footing,
and he has the manners of his kind.
But he has inherited an enormous for
tune and the Honorable Otho is ready
to help him spend it under the guise of
introducing him into society. He sug-
gests that Hopkinson would do, for
Lady Thyra and the match is arranged
The comedy is one of the happiest
that has been Witnessed in years A
suspicion of matter of fact, a hint of
serious intention, would ruin it, and it
is screaming piece of natural comedy
from rise to fall of curtain. A more
amusing actor than Dallas Wexford has
never been seen in San Francisco.
The only matinees will be given on
Thursday Thanksgiving day) and Sat-
urday.

tied to one week, in Clyde Fitchs COM
