At the Opera House.

Photo dramatics and clean comedy
that are worthy of attention and that
would be absolutely impossible e

those that win appear at the Opera
house. this afternoon and evening. The
subjects embrace a wide range of
thought and liberal opportunity for
some clever acting, which opportunity

emplihed in one of the pictures by the
Biograph Co. bearing the title of
MANS Lust for Cold.
Gold is the seed of avarice, theft
murder. and, in fact, most of the evil
of the world. In our picture we show
the father of little family killed by
a claim jumper, who tries to take pos
session of his claim. Further on, the
claim Jumper discovers the rich Skele-
ton mine guarded by a grim sentinel
the skeleton of its first victim, Bags
of gold lay by and the claim jumper
lucs two off Out of water and ia
tieued, he buries the gold, intending
To come back for it later. However,
his strength fails him and some dis
lance on he falls exhausted. In THIS
plight he is encountered by the son
of the miner, whose claim he tried te
jump and killed, but the boys feelings
towards him are now softened by his
pitiful condition. Before the claim
Jumper dies he draws a map of the
location of the gold. Tie boy and girl
