BREED THEATER.
"The o'NeilI," Romantic Irish Drama, the Powerful Feature for Monday and Tuesday.

Along the line of constant improve nlents in the class and style of the picture plays at the Breed, Manager HcNulty announces for his big feature picture for Monday and Tuesday only, the powerful romantic Irish drama, entitled The O'Neill.
 This is one of the peerless Kalem productions, and, being made entirely in Ireland, the picture has a charm Peculiarily its own. Every scene was made in Ireland on the identical spots made famous by the incidents repre- 3ented. The O'Neiu, an Irish patriot, secretly returns to his old familiar haunts. from which he was obliged to flee during times of oppression, and found a proclamation offering a re- ward for his apprehension. He hastily takes tO the country lanes that he might meet his old friends, the peas- ants. One in particular, d fraiI old man, totte-ing with age, welcomed ONeiD tO his humble cottage and shar- ed his last crusts of bread with him. Touched with the sbject poverty of his counuymon, O'Neill determines to aid them, at the price of becoming a high Wayman, SC, going to d secluded spot. he masked himself and lay in waiting Soen a carriage appeared, and O'Neill AeAAhS tNr eAl p!iittA1 IGNucblS Lnb OC- cupants to aiight. They were an eld- erly gentleman and his daughter Eli nore. ONeill, in a spirit of mockery, takes ring from the girl, and forces her to dance few steps with him.
 Later. he learns of her presence at a masked ball and. carefully disguis- ing himself, he goes, and meeting her, his identity is discovered by the ring on his finger. C'Neil makes his es- cape through a window, taking sash and all The following day the outlaw meets Fillmore, and arranges a meet Ing with her, which is to take place that evening. She agrees, but brings with her a Eand If men who surround ONeill and make him prisoner, carry Ing him to a nearby house. Mean while Fillmore has change of heart, aud finding herself ln love with the handsome patriot, steals through the window and releases him. Together tdey speed away Oh horseback, stop pInS cni- to bid the poor peasant good bye.
 When the escape was discovered. the men started in pursuit, and arriv- ing at the cross roads Inquire of the peasant if he has seen the outlaw, and he replies that be had, but pointed in an opposite dlrcctiCE. erabling the fll- citives tC escape to France, to the good ship that carried them to free u3m and Eappine7g.

JAMES cLANcYs PoLI HEATER.
Tn the Midst of Tripoli," a Great War Story, and Other Splendid Features.

Realizing that the theater going pub lie Of Norwich. when they do go to see photo plays or moving pictures they insist on the best procurable, and having that in mind, James Clancy's POH theater offers for today and to- morrow only, positively the strongest picture programme ever offered in this city. Each and every reel of film was carefully selected and as each one is a feature it is only safe to predict that many will take advantage of see ing them. In the Midst of Tripoh is an Italian war picture made by the famous Cines company of Italy. It shows actual fighting between tho troops of Turks and Italian soldier: and as a beautiful story is interWoven it makes it dOubly interesting. One spot in this picture shows a duel to the death and a leap ensues and the brave Italian officer regains the flag and the hand of the giri that he loves.
 The Oath of His Office IS a western Eicture by the famous Essenay com nsny and fe1tul es c. M. Anderson. the most photographed man in the world In this film there is plenty of action and excitement, thrilling and daring rides by bands of cowboys and also 8 great story is the basis Just to snow that nothing but feature pictures are 70 be presented for today and tomorrow the management states that The Little Stowaway is d photo play that will be relishe1 by one and all, lt Is of nature that will readily appeal to all classes and as it is taken cn both land and on the briny deep it should fot fail to draw applause from inc picture fans Realizing that no. programme is complete without a lit- tie comedy. the management of the popuiar theateI have specially pro- cured the film entitled The Lauy Po- lice. made by the famous L1bin com pany. It is one continual scream from start to finish. You will laugh like you never have before, and it is really the funniest finn on the market today and was only procured py axtra effort. For good measure, Artistic Scenes of Venice. will be thrown in, mak- ing five subjects in all, and with the popular singing of Jo- sepn MCGinty it is a programme that should not be missed.

ON WILD WINGS.

 think thou must have wandered far With spring for guide, And heard the sky-born foress flowers
 Talk to the wind among the show. CTS, Through sudden doorways left aJar When the wind sighed, Thou must have heard the marching sweep Of blown white rain Go voIleying up the icy kills. And watched with summer when the hills Muttered of freedom in their sleep And slept again. And thy clear spirit, half forlorn, Seeking it's own,
 Dwelt with the nomad tents T rain, Marched with the gold-red ranla of grain, Or ranged the frontiers of the morn, And was alone.
