NEW VAUDEVILLE
And the Famous Gaumont Weekly at
 the Auditoriunn.

An entire change of vaudeville is seen at the Auditorium today, and the combination looks as strong as the extra good show for the first of the week. While there, is no particular headline act, the bill is uniform in strength, and all the acts are equally good. Arrangements are now being made in New York for some extra big features which will be along soon, Of which more will be said later. Today the show consists of The Sharps in a clever comedy singing, talking and musical speciality entitled The Village Band, introducing Miss Sharp, who Is one of the youngest comedians in vaudeville Chester Kingston, who terms himself as The Flexible China man, a contortion novelty that will make you wonder, and Moss & Frey, who are considered by all managers to be the legitimate successors to the laurels of the late team of Williams and Walker. A comedy pair that are funny without trying to be.
 The Famous Gaumont Weekly, No. 27, which was released yesterday, is the picture feature, and if you desire to be informed on what is going on in the world make it a point to see this feature every week. A 1o1- Bison feature Is also listed for today, it is entitled The Gambler and the Girl. The famous Rex company offers strong plot entitled The Diamond Path. Clusters Last Stand, in three reels, the greatest picture ever taken, has been booked; watch for the date.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Inspector Scott's Recent Sample oi
 Milk.

Mir. Editor: It may interest Dr. Sha- han to know that other worlds than this seem to be subject to the vigil lance of the Providence milk inspec- tor. Only last week the writer saw a card from MT. Scott directed to for mer neighbor-ten months dead-stat- ing that the bacterial content of a re cent sample of his milk was too high and, should he wish to continue sell ing in Providence he must send better milk. We would like to know if MT. Scott made personal inspection of pro- duction and transportation in this ease and this other world!
 As MT. Scott declares that these prosecutions will be continued until Providence has good milk, it is clearly his duty to go where this man is and stay until he has conditions arranged to his satisfaction. It should be done. We don't care how long it takes.
