Warren had sat in the row behind HIM

by bis face in repose. He had curiously
hard, almost cruel profile.
The play had been delightful light
comedy with many situations Of real
humor. and Helen had noticed that not
once had he smiled. He sat with folded
arms. with his somber. unsmiling eyes
fixed steadily on the stage. There seemed
a curious brooding primness about him.

AT DAVIS BROADWAY.
Vaudeville and Photo : Plays.

Expecting the usual high standard of vaudeville and motion plays which has been the rule at the Davis Broad way theater, the audiences there on Monday for the matinee and evening were of satisfying numbers and they found their expectations fulfilled. La Bouef Brothers, billed as upside down dancers, are al lthat their title in- plies giving a terpesichorean novelty that has no dull moments and is re- warded with the approval of the au- dience. When it comes to fun Irene Irving, character change artist, is good for a laugh every minute in her clever songs and monologue in a diversity of roles while two eccentric comedians, Aubrey and Flower, make up team that was built to drive away the blues.
 In the photo-plays there are love ortsies, western drama, and farce comedy to fill out a well selected list of these productions from real life.

Revival Services to Continue Through This Week-Miss Kern Breaches Sunday Night Sermon.

A fair sized attendance was present fin the M. E. church on North Main street Sunday evening, when the serv- ice was opened by Brother Louis Fra zier at 7.3O o'clock. After the prayer offered by Mir. Frazier, Captain Will bur of the Salvation army read the Scripture lesson and then the service was turned over to Miss Kern The preacher took for her text a part of the 18th verse of the 18th chapter of Exodus. And when I see the blood, l will pass over you and there shall no plague be upon you"
 She likened the blood to Christ, and said that every one of us who wished to be saved and hay eternal life must believe in Christ and in his great atonement. Then. as the mark of Christ shall be upon us we will be saved from destruction. The speaker said that one of the great sins of the world was the way that the young people of the present age attended theaters, dances and other amuse- ments of such like. Although she banished these everyday amusements from the lives of the young people, she, believed in social clubs, and liter ary clubs, and thought they did great deal of good.
 The service was closed by Brother Frazier, who pronounced the benedic- ton. The church is holding these re- viVal meetings for the purpose of in- creasing its membership roll. It is not the intention of the church to take members from other churches. but to convert and care for people who have not been attending any special church or no church at all. It was with great satisfaction that the officers of the church saw a number of such people among the congregation for the frst time Sunday evening. and they hope that the people will continue to attend the services. It was intended at frs that the services should only be helt for one week, but as great deal o interest is being shown in them. i
 was decided that the services should
 be held throughout this week.

 MEMBERSHIP ROLL GROWING.
Will Have Large Enrolment for Meet ing for Election of Officers.

More names coming in in good num- bers for enrolment in the Norwich Republican club was the report on Monday of those who were circulating the membership lists. so that it is ex- pected the 200 secured up to Saturday night will \be considerably augmented by the time the club meets again to- night. As this is the meeting when the nomination of officers is to be made for election, it is expected that the attendance will be large. and as every district will probably be repre- sented on the list of officers there ought to be voters from every district present to support their representa- tives.
 At the last meeting the promise of good speakers to come here as soon as the club is well organized was made so that 1t can soon expect to hear some of the campaign spellbinders.
