Creatore's Band at

The first musical event of the sea-
son is scheduled for next Sunday eve
ming at the Columbia Theater. when
Creatore and his famous band will be
heard in a single concert.
It is said that were the instruments
without power Of sound one who un-
derstands and loves music would be
thrilled with one of the renditions by
this organization almost to feeling the
harmony in which the director lives
and acts. Temperamentally, he is a
marvel. All his readings are original
to a marked degree, and the way he
conjures effects by personal magnet
ism in eye, head, arm, hand, and
swaying body, shows him to be q
highly gifted genius. There is no
withstanding the magic of his per-
sonality, and one can only look and
wonder at the grasp he has over his
men. His programs are always inter-
esting and varied.

MEMORIAL SERVICE OF
 MALL AUXILIARY
For Miss Huntington and Held at Her
 Late Home.

A special meeting of the McAn aux Hilary in memory of the late presi- dent. Miss Mary l.. Huntington, was held Tuesday afternoon at the Hunt many meetings. of the society have been held in the past, and which still seemed filled with the brave sweet spirit of the departed mistress. As the first vice president, Miss Sturtevant was unable to be present, Mrs. Will jam Carr of Poquonoc, formerly of Norwich and still an officer in the auxiliary, conducted the beautiful and impressive service. After a few ap- propriate and sincere words of tribute by Mrs. Carr, a beautiful Scripture passage was read by Mrs. Howe, fol- lowed by prayer by Mrs. Carr. Let ters of sympathy and of a sense of personal loss from five of the officers of the national association were read by the secretary and treasurer. These came both as personal tributes and in an official capacity representing the whole association. Several members of the auxiliary were called upon and spoke lovingly of Miss Huntington words which were in the thoughts of .all the others. They ,dwelt upon her quiet and retiring nature and yet un- flinching acceptance of any necessary duty, of her worth as a genial neigh bor and friend, of her kindliness of heart and exquisite gentleness of man. ner which made her an ideal and in- spiriation to the young, of her hlial devotion which first enlisted her in the cause of the McAll mission, and which, after her mothers death. caused her to make the work her own and be equally interested in it's success. and of her mental acurnen and grasp of the work and the pleasure it was to be associated with her in it. Her favor ite hymn, o God, Our Help in Ages Past, was read by Mrs. Howe. A nom- mating committee was appointed to obtain some one to carry on the work which she has laid down. Notice was also given of the annual meeting of the American association, to be held in Troy, N. Y., next month, and five delegates appointed to represent the auxiliary there. These delegates were given the liberty of obtaining substi- tutes

AT PoLl's,
charIeys Aunt.

A bill which proves most pleasing this week at Polfs is the farce Char ley's Aunt, which is capitally presented by the Poll Players. The three acts of this laugh provoking play are all cleverly staged and the players are most agreeably cast. There is no end of fun throughout the many peculiar situations and their result keeping the audience interested and we'll enter tained.
 Wilson D. Stedman plays Lord Fan court Babberly and gets roped into impersonating Charley's aunt, a role which he finds large opportunities in and makes the most of them. As Charley. Clyde M. Shropshire does well, while Lawrence Dunbar as Jack Chesney is, as ever, clever and enter taining. J. N. Booth and Farrall Mc- Knight have pleasing roles and as Col Chesney and Stephen Spettigue they make ardent love to Charley's aunt The latter is particularly clever in his persistent courtship.
 Emma Hayden as the real aunt gives fine presentation of the part and helps out in the funmaking by assist ing in the embarrassment of the make believe aunt. Victoria Montgomery as Amy and Sue Fisher as Kitty were very good, as was Virginia Chauvenet, the other members of the cast giving the proper support to make the play success. The audience was kept in laughter from start to finish and took occasion to manifest their pleasure by much applause. There are interesting moving pictures which fill up the waits between the acts.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Vaudeville and Moving Pictures

;. There Is bill of four vaudeville numbers and inviting moving picture films at the Auditorium which makes a strong offering for the first of the week and drew large houses for the Monday performances. Foremost on the bill as something entirely new was La Perche Equipoise,' thriller as performed by Delmore and Oneida, the woman member of the team doing some nerve racking stunts at the end of pole balanced by the man. Be- cause of the low flies on the stage. the act has to be done right down among the audience in the open space close to the stage. The graceful and thrilling novelty is good for a big hand at each performance.
 Catherine Cronin & Co. put over a sparkling little comedy offering in the sketch, His Room Mate, which keeps the laughs coming all the way and carries the house with the clever trio in the company. Pauline Barry, sing ing comedienne, did not arrive in time for the matinee. but was on hand for the evening. adding prettily costum- ed number to the bill and pleasing with her topical songs, In the mon ologue line. Billy Cole is the typical "Wcsry Willie" in makeup, talk and songs. Among the moving pictures the baseball game and the Vicar of Wake field are of particular interest.
