PEARCE'S THEATRES.

Heaven Avenges," a Biograph dra-
matte sketch of the farm, will be the
big drawing card during Thursday and
Friday in Pearce's Trianon theatre in
Canal street between Carondelet and
Baronne streets. Several of the we'll
known Biograph players will be in the
production, which promises to be one
above the ordinary interest. 1t will
deal with the country girl on an orange
grove who takes the place of her father
during his serious illness. The owner
of the land is a wealthy young man,
who, upon the advice of his physician,
takes rest at the orange grove There
he meets the girl of the farm and for
the time being is infatuated with her
and greatly admires her beauty. The
girl believes in the promises of the
rich land owner who soon tires of her
and returns to the city. The girl in
the meantime leaves her home, but re-
turns to her father in due course Of
time. The land owner, however, suf-
fers a severe attack of the heart and
expires before the girls father can
carry out his threats of vengeance. A
happy reunion between the girl, her
father and her old-time sweetheart,
brings the photoplay to a close.
Another of the clever pictures Of
fered Thursday and Friday for the en-
tertainment of the Trianon's patrons
bears the title of Question of Size"
This Is Pathe American comedy and
is said to be far above the average in
cleverness and one that is calculated
ohold the attention of the men, wom-
en- and children who witness the pre-
sentation. Another comedy entitled
Revenge Is Sweet" by the Edison
Company, will also form part of the
program to-day and tomorrow in the
well-known photoplay house.
The Trianon's bill for Thursday and
Friday will be brought to close with
an industrial production bearing the
title of "The Maple Sugar Industry at
Thompson, Penn" This picture COW
ers the industry of maple sugar max
ing from the tapping of the trees to
the final stage of crystallization, after
which it is made ready to crate and
ship to the market. The picture is one
that should command the attention of
all men, women and especially the
children who have the least bit of in
terest in industrial matters. There
will also be strong Sunday program
at the Trianon when several of the lat
est developed films will be offered for
the entertainment Of the patrons Of the
Trianon.
Announcement is also made that the
Electric, Grand, Bijou Dream and the
Dreamland photoplay houses, all own
ed and operated by Josiah Pearce &
Sons, will each have number of Illus
trations, this is moving pictures, far
above the average and of character
that will prove entertaining and yet at
the same time instructive and with
great educational features. The pro-
gram will be changed daily in each of
the playhouses mentioned.

graph Feature, in Two Parts
Coming Sunday Night at the Memo
Theatre.

Theatre.
Mexican Jim, a good-for-nothing of
the mining camp, spends most of his
time in the tavern of the little town.
On this particular day, having drunk
up more than usual, he quarrels with
Jack Hardy, young prospector. Jack,
under other circumstances, would have
disdainfully ignored Jim's drunken
garble, but he felt in none too good a
numor, for things were not prospecting
with him, and his young wife was
growing homesick for the East. Hence
Jacks temper was on tap and he made
Jim the laughing-stock of the town by
giving him a walloping. Jim vows to
get even; but how? He carries off
Jacks wife and leaves derisive note
for Jack, and another at tht saloon, to
the effect that the joke is turned. Jim
has forcibly taken Jacks wife as far
as an old deserted well-box in the hills,
when Jack, who started after them,
comes up and opens fire. Jim has the
advantage for he is sheltered by the
well-box, and furthermore, Jack is
careful for fear of hitting his wife.
This warfare does not last long be-
cause of an outbreak among the young
Indian braves, who have started out to
avenge the death of one of their tribe
at the hands of party of drunken
cutthroats, so Jack and Jim form a
truce to fight the common enemy. The
finish of the story is quite unique, and
the production as a whole is one of
the most convincing Western stories
ever made.
