Taft and His Gush

The most amazing thing about
the Booker Washington incident in
New York is the letter written him
by President Taft The president
is said to be great lawyer and an
able judge yet he rushes into print
to exonerate the negro and to con-
denim the white man, Ulrich, before
evidence is taken or a trial is had
And now Booker T. himself admits
that Ulrich was justified in attack,
ing him under the circumstance. II
appears that the president has made
false move for political favor. -

LIVELY INTEREST
in BILIOUS BILL
JEALOUSY CONQUERED AND THE
DIRE EFFECTS OF FASTING IS
SHOWN UP AT THE 5IJoU-A
GOOD COMEDY PICTURE is ALSO
SHOWN.

Two motion pictures of unusual
strength mark the last half of the
week at the Bijou. one Of these, en-
titled, The Diamond Star, is most
interesting story Of the part played
by the green eyed monster, jealousy, in
the lives of man and woman. The
trouble with the husband is indiffer-
ence to the charms and faithfulness
Of a loving wife Returning one morn
ing from the club in an intoxicated
condition he quarrels with her and
they separate. AS further display Of
his brutality the husband Immediately
enters the fast set and becomes enam-
ored with reigning belle. He attends
her constantly for time and appar-
entity enjoys the suffering caused his
wife. Finally the belle gives dinner
In his honor but he fails to attend. To
make reparation he promises to- give
her a diamond star. In the meantime
he learns that an old sweetheart Of his
wife's has returned to the city and one
evening seeing them together in an
auto the husband awakes to his great
love for his wife and a reconciliation
follows in which the beautiful diamond
star is given to his real mate rather
than to the belle and all ends happily.
The comedy picture is entitled,
Hearts, Hunger, Happiness, and its a
rea love story with a lot of fun in it
Billy, is a lad in love. He can't mag
inc what's the matter and so calls upon
physician who advises a three days
fast. Billy sticks it out for two days
and on the third his sweetheart in
vites him to dinner. Rather than
break the fast he sticks the food ir
his pocket from which 1t is deftly ex-
tracted by the family dog. There's fur
| in the picture.
Singing, talking and dancing make
up the efforts of Burt Carl and the
RheiI sisters, who appear in a featur'
with pleasing effects. Their DANCING
is high class and their voices in sonl
are very delightful.
Come to the Bijou this week. Thu
show that is always worth while.

April 12-The Spendthrift.
April 15-The Barrier.

At the Fargo operahouse Wednesday
evening, Frederic Thompson win give
Fargo theatregoers their first oppor-
tunity Of witnessing The Spendthrift,
the latest dramatic work of Porter
Emerson Browne. whose A Fool There
Was has given him position among
American dramatists. The piece is a
vital drama Of today and deals primar-
lily with the extravaganza and wasted
opportunities OF class of women who
are numerous In certain strata of So
ciety. The basic theme of The Spend
thrift appealed to Browne for a long
time before he set his thoughts on pa
per and when he did he put into his
writing all the vitality with which the
idea was invested during the mental
evolution.

THIS WEEK - NEW SUNDAY
SCHOOL ADDITION ALSO.


Work is being completed this week
on the auditorium OF the First M. d.

thing ready for the Sunday services.
The doors between the main auditor
ium and the lecture rooms have been
removed and the archway cut higher

to take the place of the doors when
necessary. On account of the large
congregations which attend the church

to enlarge the auditorium of the
church in some way.
The new Sunday school building
which is being built back of the church
and parsonage will be completed by

James 7. Powers.

From the first appearance of James
T. Powers in the middle of the first
act of Havana at the Fargo opera
house last night until the final curtain,
a ripple of laughter swept over the
well filled house, and occasionally
burst out noisily when a particularly
catchy song was sung. Havana is
not tuneful. Yet in spite of the lack
of swinging, catchy and tuneful melo-
dies. the play carries well through
three long acts.
Powers is the bright, particular star
Of the pieces, and whenever he appears
on the stage there is plenty of clean
fun. His mannerisms and acquired
''turnip top" are funny and will not
give his auditors a minutes rest.
Whenever Powers uncorl1s some of his
comedy the play reels off with renew
ed vigoT, while his silence tends to
cause a sag in the applause and
laughter.
Don't run into me, I'm no saloon,
and Uneasy lies the king when the
ace is out" are two of more than 100
disconnected utterances Of Powers
which he inserts throughout the play
and with which he provokes the loud
est applause. His best song is en-
titled, How Did the Bird Know That
| Aside from the leading part played
by Powers, the other principals, all OF
whom have fairly good lines and
songs, are Consuelo, by Helen OAR
ing; Isabella, her revolutionary sis

oRPHEUM THEATRE.

One Of the decided hits at the Or

stone, whose imitation of the coun-
try girl together with her very natural
laugh makes her act one continuous
screen from start to finish. She is
an exceptionally clever monoIogist and
her pleasing personality wins her
audience at each performance.
The Misses Mich, two talented
young ladies have most delightful
musical act and should be big ia
vorites everywhere they appear.

catchy parodies were called back many
times at the first performances.
