PLAYS AND PLAYERS
At the Pantages

For the week commencing with
Sunday matinee, March 6, Manager
Walker of the Pantages has Sc
cured for his headline attraction
one OF the best animal acts on the
vaudeville stage today-Rafayette
dogs, an act that is classed among
the top-notchers as headline act
ain the large houses in New York
and Chicago and other large east
ern cities. Mr.. Rafayette has
spared no time or expense in train
ing his animals up to the standard
of the best, and he guarantees ten
minutes of the best animal enter
tainment the local vaudeville pa
irons ever had. The closing trick
is where one dog walks up set of
stairs on to a platform, crossing
same, and down the steps on the
other side to the stage, at the same
time balancing a little poodle,
which sits on the big dogs neck.
The Riva Larsen troupe of aero
bats. four in number, are next in
order on this all-star bill. They
present phenomenal act on four
hanging ropes. 1t is one of the
most daring and clever acrobatic
acts, and they do feats of unusual
muscular endurance, dexterity and
amazing skill.
Joseph Madden and Katherine
Nugent will offer the classy COM
edy playlet, Heart to Heart Talk.

paper is for the time being the

shame that it should be subjected
to wanton attacks backed up by

Pratt, of my good citizenship. My

mo one wants good government,
no one longs for right conditions to
prevail more than does the Wom-

social. If the Woman's club can
educate the public mind about the
true conditions of affairs, then its
good citizenship is proven, and the
individuals of the club who work
out this educational line prove their
good citizenship. Right is not al

stand the opprobrium of public opin-
