THE COLISEUM

Dramatfcs may come and dramaticS may go but the spirit of merrimenl and the desire for lighter entertain r9ent goes on forever. That is why the Coliseum theater is always crowded. whether the other show houses are full or empty. The photo rlays are always educational anus ing or appealing to the emotions and more often all three. And the rest of it is vaudeville.
 This week it is mainly acrobatlc work. though the feats of twisting and tumbling are interspersed with dancing and more or less joking.

 The prosecution was conducted by Sergeant SlOCum while the defendant was represented by Lieutenant La Tourette and Corporal Wilcox as counsel. A great deal of testimony was introduced and tear producing oratOry was addressed to the as sembled court which nevertheless found Gegax guilty as charged. He was sentenced to wear a ball and chain from the armOry to the city hall and to treat the company to ice cream at it's meeting next Thursday night. He has discharged the first part of his sentence for the jewelry was attached to him and nobody out side the city hall had key to un lock it. The rest of the sentence will be considered later.
