"Cut out that snore. you awful bore!
If you shoot off your snoot horn more
I'll give you such an awful lick
You'll turn into a feather tickr'
An argument at once arose,
And those ten ROSTERS came to blows
They battled in that tall treetop,
And all fell down to earth kerfiop.
And foxy gobbled all the ten
And bore them to his hidden den,
Where In his cave amid the stones
Were stacks on stacks OF chicken bones

prove one of the greatest hits Of the sea-
son. AIDE, always witty and laughable,

in rapid-fire succession. The principals
in this clever little farce are Matte

vor everywhere and have the knack or
doing things differently, will offer catchy
songs, while the Josetty Brothers will
be seen in an acrobatic act. These ar
lists have created a sensation in Europe
by their acrobatic act, AMI not only pre-
sent a bill Of unusual merit, but accom-
plish feats of great daring. Character
songs and changes will be offered by
Tom and Stacia Moore, and Edwin
George, the laxative juggler, will give
pleasure. Woodford's Statue Dogs, a
European novelty which won universal
praise, will be an added feature, and Is
an unusual as we'll as an artistic act. To
complete this bill will be seen the Impe-
rial Feature photograph Plays, motion
pictures, which, in accordance with the
policy to be carried out, will be Of the
highest order.

OF the old-line tragediaus, who flourlshed
in the "palmy days" Old-timers will
tell you there are no such plays written
to-day; no actors like Mccullough in
'Virginius" The present photo-drama
hews close to the original version, even
to the physical resemblance the actor
who plays Virginius bears to the great
Mccullough.
To-day, for the last time, the Virginia
will show the brilliant and stirring Span
ish reel Of Don Juan It deals with love
and intrigue, with a duel, a battle, and
a woman's sacrifice, all in a fashion pic
turesquely Spanish. Miss Dodge, violin
list, and Mr.. Vail. pianist, adapt their
music to the story.
