IN EG1NNING Monday, the Casino
~ theater on First South street
opens s season Of musical COM
edy, which should prove to be a
welcome diversion with the patrons of
this cozy amusement house. Since the
beginning of the present season the
Casino programmes have been made up
of vaudeville and motion pictures.
The first bill to be presented under
the new arrangement will be 1.-THE Tu-
tor by the Rowland Musical Comedy
company, which includes 4 cast Of ten
people. Those who delight in seeing
pretty girls in the glare of the foot
lights. like catchy music and appre-
ciate the fun making of clever come
dians will find "The Tutor as pre-
sented by the Rowland company some
thing different and of better quality
than is usually seen at the smaller
places of amusement
The present bill, the last of its kind
to be seen at the Casino, closes with
tonight g performances. IT has proved
to he one of the strongest drawing
cards for the Casino since that house
opened with variety entertainment, La
Monte and Richards, expert ragtlme
dancers, and the Tyler-St. Clair trio of
xylophone players take care of the
vaudeville end OF the programme,
while series Of first-run films, com
prising wide range of interesting
subjects, makes up the motion picture
part of the bill.

N H. IHohA'o Planned an
L 40 agreeable and ingratiatlng
story in the case of the girl of six.
Teen whose parents are at odds.
Inc husband and wife (Henrv Mil
Ter and Edith Barker) have been
separated since their daughter was
"a BABY, though through misunder
standings, reticence and pride.
rather than because of anv real
fault on either side. Living alone.
the father has fallen in with a pret-
ty fast set; and when his daughter
comes for her first visit to him, he
finds his cronies hard to shake
off
Though her father endeavors to
keep her. clear of his old friends,
the girl is in danger of acquiring
something of their "horsy''' ways.
Her mother finally comes to the
other parent to implore him to let
her have the girl back, not for the
prescribed visits, but permanently.
1T is superfluous to add that the
couple are reunited by their dauph-
ter. How on earth did such q piav
escape the title ga Little Child
Shall Lead Them? The chief
scene of the comedy occurs at the
end of the second act. The girl,
starting on visit to her mother,
thinks she is leaving her father
for only few days, whereas he has
arranged that she never shall re-
turn. Mr.. Miller, weeping copiously
and generally modelling his per
formance on that of Mrs. Leslie
Carter in the third act of :'Zaza, -
is hardly so effectual This is real
" quite too bad Of him. Ny OBJ
lection goes much deeper than the
fact that he has let himself grow
far too fat for Zaza. Our stage
possesses few actors of such iutelli-
gence, authority and skill as Mr.
Miller and, therefore, may be said
TO have some right to demand his
employment of his talents in a
worthy play, Unfortunately, he
seems to be lacking in the sense of
discrimination between human SEN
timent an dmaudlin mush, for this
is not the first time he has made
tho mistake. AS an actor he does
everything that could be done with
the weeping parent, though his long
professional association with Mar
garet Anglin has led him into an
excessive over-use of tears. AS
stage manager-a branch of the
business in which he has. few peers,
Oh this side of the Atlantic-he has
at least achieved a general per
formance Of consistently bad act
ing.
The tone Of studied artificiality
is marveIously maintained by ev-
cry member of the cast, with the
single exception of Laura Hope
Crews. who defies him to the point
of giving an actual beautiful per-
formance Of nothing whatsoever.
Vocally aud in person she suggests
Ada Rehan, and in intelligence of
design and eloquence Of execution
she bears comparison with that
great actress. For the rest. the
company requires only supply of
powdered wigs and patches to seem
to be giving a superb performance
of "The School for Scandal, - One
expects "Lud. Sir Peter!'' every
moment; and if Mr.. Miller suddenly
produced voluminous lace hand
kerchief and made sweeping bow,
no one would be at all surprised

age.
Mr.. Hodge in the title role has won
his way into the very front rank of
American comedians. The production
is precisely the same in every detail as
that given in New York and Chicago.
n MOTION picture showing the
~ Panama canal as it looks in
~ 1912 is the feature on the new
bill which runs for three days,
starting with tomorrow s matinee at
the Liberty.
The picture takes the spectator
across the istbmus of Panama from the
Pacific side TO the Atlantic, aud shows
the building of tho locks, the famous
Culebra cut, the Gatun dam and lake,
the numerous labor saving devices and
the enormous magnitude of the work.
Those who saw the Panama canal
picture at the Liberty about year
ago will, in seeing this picture. be able
to observe the progress made In a
year in the building of the canal This
is undoubtedly picture which should
be Of interest to every American citi-
zen.
There are two other topical subjects
-one an excellent picture Of President
Taft and his cabinet in executive ses-
sion and the other shows incidents of
the Durbar Mt Delhi. Two high-class
dramatic subjects and two clever come
dies complete the bill.
The new pipe organ has been in
stalled and will furnish music during
some of these pictures. This in itself
should prove to be an interesting in

it is at least bewildering to dis

An Ok Yoke Story

Oxen usually die in pairs. One yoke
fellow seldom survives the other.
Working and resting side by side
through many long years these patient
animals develop so strong, so deep, SO
abiding an affection for one another
that separation means death. When a
pair of oxen are hitched together in
youth they fight. Their mutual hatred
is as great as two men yoked together.
But with the years passage they cease
to kick and butt. They become
friends. And this friendship ripens at
last into an overmastering affection,
which it may be, consoles mild, labor
Gus creatures in some measure, for the
cruelties often afflicted upon them by
man.-Ex.
