lot of music rolls included free
with every instrument in this
final clearance.
PIANOLAS FREE
We find that interest in the
cabinet player, usually termed the
Pianola, Is waning a good deal
because of the perfection and the
popular favor of the modern play
er piano, yet we realize that
there are many places where a
cabinet Pianola can and should be
used to splendid advantage. We
want to get rid of every Pianola
in our establishment. For this
reason we propose to give them
free, with the understanding that
the recipient buys from us four
new music rolls each month for
a period of IL, 15 or 18 months
time. The improvement in the
manufacture of music rolls has
been such that the average price
of the best roll is just about an
even dollar now. Here is the
opportunity for many a public
institution. also for many a lodge,

The distribution of these Pia-

be of utmost benefit.

AT THE PRINCESS

pierre of the Plains Is the
ne weeks offering at the Princess
theater and the stock company
under William H. Dills' direction
gives one of the most thorough
and genuinely pleasing "big play"
productions that has yet been
seen in this playhouse.
The scenery, costumes and
general atmosphere OF the piece
is splendidly sustained through
out, and every member of the
company seems to fit into each re-
spective part in true unity.
The play centers around a half
breed who risks much and sur
fers much that he may win the
love of a girl-and there Is a
real melodramatic thrill at the
end Of each act.
OF course the plot makes all
things come right for Pierre IN
the end-otherwise the play
wouldn't be popular.
1t is the first time that Pierre
of the Plains" has been offered
in stock at popular prices and the
excellence of the full production
last night met with the respon-
sive approval of a large audience.

BY GERTRUDE Nj. PRICE,


There's hardly a man in the
moving pictures who has won so
much praise and made so many
fast friends as Charles Kent of
the Vitagraph players.
He is one of the old timers
who has brought the experience
of years to the wonderful new
business of pictures. He is a
past master in all the little arts
of the footlights and acting is
just second nature with him now.
He is in the movies because
he is such a great actor.
Maybe when folks see him at
5-cent theater in Tacoma it will
be interesting to think:
why, that's the man who play
ed whole season with Edwin
Booth at the Fifth avenue thea
ter, New York"
He's the man who spent a sea-
son at Madison Square Garden
with Mansfield; was with Robson
and Crane in Henrietta; on the
road with "The Sorrows of Satan"
company; played with Mrs. Fisk
in Mary of Magdalene, and
with Florence Roberts in "The
Strength of the Weak"
