MADE BIG HIT.
New Bill al Colonial Theatre PIeasss

New Bill al Colonial theatre Fieases.
The new bill at the Colonial made a
big hit and pleased two big audi
ences last night. Both audiences were
very appreciative and were kept in
a continual roar of laughter.
Nat Farnum, as the school teacher,
is good, and there is plenty of COM
edy in the role. His seven scholars
are full of life and make life miser-
able for their teacher, and believe
me, they certainly do it up brown.
The song numbers introduced went
big and called for several encores.
Patsy Bolliyer and the Irish Jew, are
both clever kids and afforded muca
fun.
1t is funny act and a real laugh
producer and is one that you can
see over and over without getting
tired of it. In order that the school
children will have chance to see it,
Manager Irons will give a special
matinee en- Wednesday at $3.50 o'clock.
The photo plays for tonight are
Fresh Air Filkins, rousing Imp
comedy: Accident Insurance, q
Crystal comedy, with Pearl White in
the leading role; Rosie, comedy
by the Eclair players. and last but
not least. another Crystal comedy,
"Her Lady Friend. Remember
every lady will get copy OF the Uni
vesal Weekly free tonight. Get the
Colonial habit and enjoy a pleasant
evening each half of the week.

especially striking piece Of photogra-

We decided to walk, akd half way

cabs, each driver cracking his whip
and imploring us to ride with him.
When two policemen appeared in the
street about a block ahead of us our
voluntary escort melted away. We
came to a square where a number of
cabs were lined up. When the driv-
ers saw us coming they began crack

leaped from their seats and tried to
bow us into their vehicles We walked
on by to the accompaniment of crack

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.-An otherwise
j law-abiding monkey made perfect
~ good jail delivery in a bird store,
on West Ohio street, the other after
noon-again. For about an hour. till
the arrival of A G. Ward, proprietor,
he followed the vagaries of his own
inclination which were numerous and
startling.
The Gagged birds, animals, crawling
things and little fishes were terror
lied. Joco bounded from the floor to
the ceiling to escape Boston bull
terrier, landed on stack of Swiss
house bird cages and tumbled them
with their canary bird captives to the
floor. One lone canary escaped and
the monk seized it and yanked out a
handful of tail feathers. Whereupon
he offered the feathered trophy to a
humped-back tortoise who drew his
head into his shell and refused abso-
lutely to participate in the festivities.
Pouter pigeons flutterea and beat
their wings in vain against their
cages in an attempt to escape. That
was unwise, for Joco had failed to
notice them before. However, when
his attention was engaged, he hoped
over to the nearest one and offered
the pigeon a handful of birdseed in an
attempt to establish amicable rela-
tions. Finding friendly advances
spurned, he reversed mis- tactics and

attempted to get a handful of the
pigeons tail feathers
He then offered the feathers to the
Boston bull terrier, which is most
dangerous thing for any monkey to
do The terrier made a lunge at him
and sent him to the top of goldfish
Aquarium, where a frying sized bull
frog Immediately engaged his atten-
ton. Mr.. Frog retreated to the dark
est depths of the aquarium and the
goldfish did center rushes over one
another to keep out of reach OF the
agile fugitive,s playful claws.
A troup of green parrots, grown and
in the process of growing, heaped up
on him all the abuses that a garrulous
bird reared by South Sea pirate
could express All of which received
its due amount of attention from Joco
but made little impression.
This antic was followed by visit
to the rear of the store and leap
to cage of Angora cats. But the
cats were in no friendly frame of
mind. One mewing mother of a brood
of five pounced upon Joco.s eaqdal
appendage with scratching claws and
left several reddening marks on that
useful instrument
When Mr. Ward arrived Joco was
busily engaged digging into a corner
full of cobwebs in search for spider
delicaeies. Joco had escaped from his
cage by lifting one of the imprisoning
bars at the front and squeezing his
body through a very small opening.
He refused to be captured by Mr..
Ward and a policeman and in order
that the Sabbath might not be further
desecrated with noise Mr.. Ward de-
cided to put all the frafl things out
of his reach and let him continue his
period of freedom for the night.
