a brand new line of songs and stories,

known minstrel man and is considered
one of the best burnt-eerk artists IN

The rhotoplays for today comprise
both comedy and dramatic subjects,
and are from the representative max
ers. A breezy western story by the
famous Bison company heads the list
of films. The title is A Ranch Girls
Love, and it is produced in the west
by real western actors.
A Thanhouser lbcture is also listed
for today, which IS called A Columbus
Day Conspiracy. The Thanhouser Co.
has a peculiar system of taking PIC
lures of current events and writing
a dramatic or comedy story around
them which adds to the interest The
picture today was written around the
Columbus day celebration and parade
in New York, and the film gives some
intimate views of Mayor Gaynor OF
New York that are very interesting.
The other two pictures are both com
edies; the first, An Abundant Candle,
deals with an intoxicated man VINO,
sent out after a package OF candles,
brings home a lamp-poSt. The second
comedy is A Mania for CaIicatures,
and shows an artists troubles who in
sists on drawing funny pictures on
everything he sees. Both these sub
jects are by the famous italia Co.,
whose comic films lead the world. For

The Breed theater takes great pleas
ure this week in presenting its pat
renS one OF the best western film

cry detail, and pulsating with human
emotions. 1t also breathes a lesson in
humiliation, self-sacrif1ce and manli-
ness Of the sturdy, stalwart sort Pc
euliar to ranch life and the plains.
