BREED THEATER.
The Kid, Brilliant and Artistic Bio
 graph Comedy

A fascinating and amusing picture that cannot fail to please and appeal to all parents and lovers of children Is one of the features at the Breed the ater this week and is shown under the title of The Kid. It is a story of a widower who is left with a young son wlro has a strong leaning towards miscf1ievous but innocent pranks. one of these being the discovery Of a young lady who had climbed a ladder to get into a tower to get a better view of the surrounding country, when the kid removes the ladder and rushes to tell
 his father of his prank. The father hl1rries to the scene and promptly puts the ladder up and goes up to assist the young lady. When he is safely up in the tower the kid again removes the ladder and carries it away with him, leaving the widower and attractive young lady alone in the tower. Just as the fathers patience is about ex- hausted the boy returns with the lad der and allows the prisoners to escape, whereupon the father proceeds to wig orously spank his son, but the lady in &erferes and so wins the heart of the miscreant also, and the result is the boy suddenly acquires new mamma.
 The powerful story of The Treasure Hunters is one of the most gorgeous scenic pictures of the season, as is The Suit Case Mystery. MT. Joy sings the beautiful concert song, You're the Ideal of Ny Dreams, with splendid success.

 suggestions. An American hostess in London,'' writing for one of the Brit 1sl1 magazines, describes several forms ef the sport that have not yet found their way to Newport or Pittsburg
 There is the usual bridge game, of tourse, simply an after dinner 'sfut- ter,". in vogue in Mayfair and else where, which sends it's devotees home richer or poorer by several hundred pounds. People who don't want to play for such high stakes as five pounds a hundred' are not asked to these. entertainments. One house is mentioned at which there is always a lottery after dinner. Each guests puts in 10 or 20 pounds, and then they draw for the pool. When the races are on, there are private sweepstakes the first prize being $5.000 more.
 Here, however, is something excit- ing "Geuss parties,'' are in vogue. When you go to a guess party you take with you list of names of the people you think will be present, and put up your money.

Then there are s'rou- lette suppers" after the theater. and there are little ingenious systems of betting on all sorts of things One London hostess at the beginning of the season makes a string of bets about maria ges she thinks will take place before the season ends.
