HOUSE OF THOUSAND CANDLES.
A complete production of The
House of a Thousand Candles is
promised at the Illinos theatre next
Sunday, matinee and evening. All the
scenery used in its four acts is car
ried, while all the accessories which
make its representations so different
and unusal will be found complete. De-
spite the air of mystery that pervades
the drama there is real enjoyment in
every line. 1t is not the CHASTITY that
sends the cold chills down the back or
that repulses by luTid touches, but it
is the hidden and unknown that is
handled with dash of comedy. 1t is
because of this that the book, as well
as it's dramatization, has become so
popular. George VIM, a gifted and
well known character actor, assumes
the role of Bates, which is decidedly
the oldest type given to the stage in
many years.

AT THE MAJESTIC.

Manager Quinn of the Majestic has
struck one of those lucky combinations
in his new bill which opened yester,
day and the show cannot help but
please vaudeville goers. There are
two extra strong acts at the house,
the first being George and Elmira in
a good equilibrist and head-balancin
act, which earned much applause for
them. The man climbs up one side
and down the other side of a ladder,
all the while balancing a heavy couch
on his head. This is but a sample OF
the hard stunts these two perform.
The Four Cook sisters. a quartet of
good looking young women. sing very
well and had TO respond to three en-
cores. 1t was hard to tell which of
the two acts made the greatest hit,
both of them receiving a great deal of
applause. These acts are both well
worth seeing and hearing, and If you
are tired of the usual stunts drop into
the Majestic and see these acts. The
remainder OF the show consists of Rob-
ert Weyman, singer and dancer, and
Barry and Wilbred in a comedy sketch.
Mrs. Casey's new song, Somewhere,

William Carney Of Calgary, in the
Western Canada league, as intimated
in The Argus at the time he was rec
commended to the local club by ex-Man-
ager Jack Tighe, now Of Seattle, is
slated TO have charge OF the Islanders
during the coming season. Treasurer
J.. NJ. CasteeI of the Rock Island ball
club stated today: I'VE are practic-
ally assured that Carney will be the
man, although as yet it is not definite
ly settled. He has accepted terms,
but the agreement is on con-
dition that Calgary give him his re-
lease, as he has also signed there and
had accepted terms prior to communi-
eating with US. / received telegram
from him Saturday TO the effect that
he had been successful in securing his
release, but have been unable to con
firm this from the officials OF the Cal
gary club, TO whom / have directed
several wires. I know that the secre-
tary-treasurer OF the Calgary club is
opposed to letting Carney go. but l
don't think he will be able TO block the
arrangements. I expect that by tOmor-
row we will be able to say that Carney
is the next Islander manager"
Rock Island is going ahead with
arrangements for the baseball sea-
son without further delay. At a meet
ing Of the directors of the club this
morning this course was determined
upon. If Carney is secured he will
report March I 3 and the players will
be on hand soon after that date.

therefore, be Of championship
