THE PLAZA

For the first half of this week Man ager CaIlan has secured the State Fair Girls as the headline attraction at his Plaza Theatre. A bevv of pretty girls, handsomely costumed and pos- sessing very pleasing voices of excep- t1onally high range. are sure to strike popular chord here. The act is beau t1fully staged with special scenic and electrical effects and many novelties are introduced that cannot fail to please even the most exacting of local theatre-goers. There is a, strong vein of clean, wholesome comedy through out the act and the song numbers are catchy.
 Lawrence and Tanner present a comedy talking act that is bound to score heavily. The Harold Brothers. equilibrists that are different. are also on the bill. MT. and Mrs Ward De- Wolfe in a refined and daintiIy staged singing and dancing act, and Master Deloy, the boy violinist, comprise the vaudeville program. By special ar engagement, s'The Bridge of Shadows a wto reel Selig masterpiece. has been secured as the added feature It tells powerful story of the injustice of cir eumstantia1 evidence and brands it as dangerous weapon of the law The news that flood losses in Ohio have wiped out his interests in a large in surance company, which embodied nearly all his fortune, proved too great a blow to Francis Edmunds, middle aged banker. and he succumbs to heart failure. A few hours before his death he had set his bookkeeper to work on the books of the company to ascertain the extent of their risks This task necessitated his working af- ter hours and the watchman coming into the office and seeing him enter the safe, grows suspicious and has him arrested, After a long and nerve wrecking trial he is allowed to go free by the judge, since there was no mon ey missing from the safe. But, the stigma that attaches to the criminal is often reflected upon innocent persons even after being found mot guilty and the boy is shadowed and perse- cuted by the police in the vitally inter- esting scenes that follow. 'Cutey's Waterloo and gro Love and Cherish'' are also included in the bill.

she was so engaged she used to go
down the bay In a tugboat to meet
the incoming immigrants and found
the need of speaking Italian. With
this end in view she took up her resi-

subsequently learned French. German
and Spanish in this way.
