The opening discloses Clinton Lloyd in his study in the glow of an open fire, enjoying quiet hour with his favorite poets. He reads "Maude Muller and as he reads with deep toned musical voice, Maude Muller IS revealed by the flashing of the lights behind the gauge screen that forms one of the panels in the wall, and as the story progresses it's various scenes are presented in the same manner.

Lew poekstader.

The attraction at the Auditorium Wednesday, March 1, will be Lew Dockstader and his twentieth century minstrels, as the comedian Is pleased to term the organization now touring under his own personal management. In offering his minstrel show this sea- son, Dockstader has departed widely from the long accepted ideas of enter
 ailments of this class and presents minstrelsy in rather strange garb. Tn the first place, he has done away with the time honored semi-circle of the first part and the telling of the Dockstader program. The comedian insists that his slow is minstrelsy with plot and the whole entertain ment hinges around story said to be quite as interesting as in any of the modern musical comedies.
