BREED THEATER.
The Money Kings. Immense Three
 Reel Holiday Feature Today.

Always presenting the best in the motion picture field for his patrons. Manager McNsllty has fairly outdone himself in his offering for his holiday guests today. After mulch deiberation and labor he was able to secure the strongest drama of the day, produced by the Vitagraph company. entitled The Money Kings; or. A Mission of Diplomacy. It is alive to the core with vitally interesting incidents and tells a story of the money kings trying to involve the United States in war. A representative of the government starts for the peace conference at The Hague with the presidents signature on an agreement of peace. but is robbed by a clever woman spy. The daughter of one of the money kings learns of the conspiracy and extracts the original message from its hiding place in her fathers safe and, sending a wireless to the young representative on his way to The Hague, tells him of the plot and bids him watch for her cousin in his hydro -aeroplane, bearing the orig inal message, and the money kings are foiled.
 The interest in the picture increases every reel, and the last reel, showing the ydro-aeroplane soaring high above the rigging of the great ocean liner, makes the whole production worth while, and the three reels of this picture are augmented by a peer less Kalem comedy.
 Santa Claus will be present at the matinee, which begins at 1.15 D. m.. and will deliver to all children buying . ticket box of candy, after the per- foTmance-
