quacumque necessitate," next Sunday,
August a. after the divine service:
Let us pray.

The entire cast and production

The play is as pure and refresh

after seeing the play one leaves
the theater with a better feeling
toward all mankind; with the feel

a worthwhile manner. 1t is one
big surprise for the theater-gOer,
not the tame. mediocre comedy
that one might be led to expect
from the posters of Aunt Mary, but
breezy, new and different sort of
comedy that makes one laugh with
a whole-souled spirit. The lines

Theater Today

The big gymnastic feature of
the program at the Washington
starting this afternoon will be the
Four ldanias, lady gymnasts, who
come from the New York Hippo
drome, where they played for an
entire season. These marvellous
artists perform series of aerial
feats that are wonderful to be-
hold, and their beauty and grace
iulness entitle them to the name
of THE Queens of the Air"
An excellent sketch will be Of
fered by Maude Hall Macy and
the sketch is entitled, The Mag
pie and the Jay" and tells the
story of Liz, of the Bowery, and
the husband she obtains through
an ad in the paper. The sketch
contains some excellent comedy
and just enough pathos to blend
in nicely.
Corcoran & Dixon, the well
known minstrel men, will present
an act of unusual merit and will
introduce new songs, dances and
some decidedly laughable stories
and chatter.
Spokane is honored with the
presence of the Countess Leon
tine, formerly wife of Count Per-
kifsky of Posen, Germany, who is
on the program this week. The
countess has a beautiful soprano
voice which she uses to the best
advantage in the selections in
Guided in her repertoire. The cos
tunes worn by the Countess
Leontine are said to be the most
gorgeous of any ever imported to
this country.
A most interesting Juggling act
will be given by the Boyle Bros.
They are not only deXterous, but
introduce an original brand of
comedy that is very laughable and
amusing.
Billy Elwood, 1.-The jolly Tar"
will also furnish comedy num-
Der of some importance. Mr.. FL
wood is not only a clever mono
logist but is an excellent singer,
possessing very fine voice,
which he uses to excellent advan-
tage in his songs, which are new
and up to date.

the boundless west, THE Round
Up will be presented by Klaw
e. Erlanger for the first time in
Sr"h"ne shortly.
This splendid play tells a tale
OF ne on the range, it's story
dealing with people who live full
and free lives, whose passions stir
violently and whose hearts are
warm and open but who hate quite
as cordially and splendidly as they
love
The play deals with two men
who love the same woman. One
wins her by trick--a bit of de-
ceit which his overwhelming love
causes-but the woman, when she
finds that she has been tricked,
sends the victor to search out the
wronged man. The men meet in
the vast alkali desert-the bad
lands" of New Mexico. Here they
struggle to save each other from
an attack by band of Apache In
dams. The arrival of the sheriff
of Pinal county, Arizona, with n
company of United States scouts,
turns the balance in the favor of
the two men, but one of them has
been wounded unto death.

set of scenery is carried, which

at Pantages
Is Hummer

The Three Shelvey Brothers,
novelty gymnasts, to appear at
the Pantages for week engage
ment starting with the matinee to-
day, are so far above the ordinary
that their act is not to be com
pared with the average acrobatic
and contortion act. They introduce
many new and novel tricks out of
the ordinary and are sensational
from start to finish.
Their balancing, tumblng and
twisting is done with such ease
that the audience looks on w;,n
amaZement. The closing trick,
where one of the boys carries the
other two down a flight of steps
from a platform to the stage, one
being twisted around his waist
and the other balanced Oh his head,
is one of the sensational stunts
that brings down the house, and
the managements expects this act
to be a big drawing card.
