PICTURE SHOWMEN
 RAISE ADMISSION
 TO TEN CENTS
Peter Dawe Withdraws From Organ
 izatiOn and Will Buck It.

At a meeting of the moving picture theatre proprietors, held yesterday in the Lenox theatre, it was voted to raise the admission prices to ten cents for four reels and an illustrated song; five cents for children under twelve years accompanied by guardians; and five cents to all at maitnees. The action was not taken until after a very lengthy discussion and before the question was put to vote Peter Dave, proprietor of the Bijou theatre. who has been one of the leading members of the organization, declared he was through and left the meeting.
 W. H. Hummer, w s. Banta and R. F. Kinder who were commit tee on the Sunday opening question, reported that they thought it inad- visable to attempt to open their thea tres at this time and the matter was laid on the table indefinitely. Walter Victory also objected to raising the admission price and withdrew from the association.
 In stating his position, MT. Dave said today: 'I was willing to raise the price to ten cents if the others would leave the shows as they are At present I give five reels and a song for five cents. The others want me to come down to four ree-s and a song for ten cents. I will not do that I believe times are hard and the pic ture shows are the only places that working people have to go. I shall leave my price and my show as it is and buck the organization

 In order to convince these half SICK, llstless, debilitated people that our medicine is all We claim it to be, we nave decided to submit the tonic to body of men whose opinion, or word, no one could doubt. refer to the eclergymen of this city, a large percentage of whom ,aS a result of the'r excessive nervous strain, both mental and physical, are unquestion- ably affected by the all-too- common complaint-nervous debility, the chief symptoms of which are stomach trou- h e, nervousness, dull pain in the back, poor circulation, cold feet, dizzy spells. spots before. the eyes ,and inn perfect digestion.
 'TOna Vita is remedy that should peculiarly appeal to the clergy men as it is a permanent source Of re- lief, acting as a nerve food and restor- ing the vigor healthy system should always possess.
 'sWe will gladly give, free of charge, to each and every clergyman in this city and vicinity, any quantity of our medicine that may be desired, upon the condition, however, that at the end of two weeks we are given a frank statement of the results of this treatment.
 "Clergymen desiring to accept this offer may do so by either writing or calling upon us personally at Jennie Hamilton'S Pharmacy, between the hours of 9 a. m. to 6 D. m.''
 The manager of the store says: eve did not k low much about this tonic a few weeks ago except that reliable people were putting it out and that leading druggists in the United States were getting the agency for it.

POLFS THEATER.

Those who like to laugh may do so
to their hearts content at Polls next
week when that rollicking farce Are
You a Mason? will be offered by the
Poll Players, beginning with a per-
Torrance Monday night and continu
ing all the week. with matinees Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday. Since
this clever vehicle was adapted from
the German by Leo Dftrichstein it has
been presented in every country that
boasts a theatrical organization.
The story concerns Frank Perry, who
has been leading a rather gay life in
the city during the absence of his
wife She has for some time been
anxious for him to join the Masonic
order and he decides to account for
his careworn appearance by telling her
that he has been taking his Masonic
degrees. Mrs. Perry is delighted when
she learns that her husband has az.
last Joined the order but she frightens
him by the announcement that her
father and mother are coming to visit
them. Amos Bloodgood, Perrys
father-iu law has for years been
palmins himself off on a rather domi-
neering wife a Master Mason. and
has Invariably accounted for his alb
sence from home in the evening by
telling her that he has been presiding
at d meeting of his lodge In his
younger days Bloodgood had an af-
fair with a woman named Angelina,
and whenever he alter to assert
himself his wife reminds lin of An
gelina. When Perry learns that his
father-in law is about to visit hrl
he fears that his deception will be
discovered. because he is unable to
give any of the secret signs and sig
nails all Masons are supposed to give
upon meeting brother members. When
the old man learns that Perry has
Joined the Masons he also fears the
same thing. Perry determines to throw
himself upon the mercies of his friend,
Ernest Morrison. young architect,
who is member of the Masonic fra
ternity. Morrison is in love with one
Of the Bloodgood girls, but Mrs Blood
good has conceived a a dislike for the
young man and has forbidden him to
visit Lulu Another friend. George
Fisher, formerly an actor is let into
the secret. The men discover that
Bloodgood is only shamming. and they
arrange to have Fisher masquerade as
a girl and palm himself off as the
daughter of the much talked of Ange-
lima. This leads up to all sorts OF
complications and the audience is kept
