The annual appearance of Wilton

rical season. This year Mr.. Lackaye
brings his latest play, THE Curious
Conduct of Judge Lagarde," to the CO.

ter-goers what is said to be one of the
most novel and interesting dramatic
works yet seen on the stage.
The authors are Victor Mapes and
Louis Forest. The scenes are laid in
Paris of the present day, and introduce
in vivid contrast the quiet. refined home
life of the upper classes and the aban-
doned. law-defying life of the criminal
and outlaw element. AS Judge Lagarde,
Mr.. Lackaye impersonates the most
eminent criminal judge in France, an
officer of the Legion of Honor, and a
citizen of high standing. Through no
fault OF his, he becomes involved in
series of adventures with the under
world that bring him into conflict with
the police, and twice he barely escapes
being branded as a murderer.

the atmosphere and puts him back on
his judicial pedestal. a cast of more

Jules LaBarbe and Mile. May Poth,

Enthusiastically indorsed by press and
public alike in every city in which II

titled "LaSsoing Wild Animals in
Africa" Buffalo Jones has captured a
specimen of every known beast of ter
ror To speak of the Jones conquest
in Africa as daring piece of
foolhardiness is not to comprehend that
it was a demonstration OF fine science
The purpose of the Jones African eX-
pedition was to show the world, and
especially sportsmen. that shooting and
destroying animals is not sport,
that the real fun is to capture them
alive with a lariat, and then let them
go free. This is what Jones and his
American cowboys did, and Just how
these feats We're accomplished will be
shown by the motion pictures, accom-
panied by characteristic description by
Buffalo Jones himself.

The notion that the wo-ld was to be

about three years before the opening
