trained Bear scores Hit.

Alice Teddy, the famous roller
skating and wrestling bear, register
ed a decided hit at the opening per-
Torrance at the Hippodrome yester-
day. To all appearances. the big ami
NAL possesses almost human intelli-
gence. and 1t is small wonder that
every person in the audience sat up
on the edges of their seats and watch
ed with intense interest while Alice
enjoyed herself on the stage. Here.
at least, is one animal act where
the performer" does not ball up the
act by refusing to GO through It's
stunts. Alice does everything in the
best of humor and without the neces-
sity of being told twice.
The other acts on the bill meas
ure up in popularity with the head
liner. Eddie Badger, musical com
edian, opens the show by rendering a
few musical selections ON instru-
ments that are absolutely new crea-
tons that have never been seen in
the city before. There is more than
mere novelty to his act, however, he
is a good musician.
Seymour and Williams, singing and
dancing comedians, held up the show
for several minutes at last evening s
performance when the audience call
ed them back repeatedly. There was
no question about their popularity.
Adams and Gohl, the Jolly Germans
were no exception to the rule. Their
jokes and songs had the audience in
a continual uproar while they were
/ on the stage, and they were called
back for number of encores. Two
reels of motion pictures complete one
of the best bills ever presented at the
Observation-Disclosures.

Many of the small towns in Europe

which must be observed, and of these
the old mountain town of Wildermann,
in Germany, claims one that is par
ticularly interesting and quaint. On
the day before the wedding the young
men interested in the couple place
sawhorse on the top of the house
where the bride is lodging usually
upon a chimney, and the bridegroom
has to take it down before the we'd
ding. On the wedding day the cou
pie find rope barring their way after
they leave the church, and they are
not allowed to pass until they have
sawed in two the knotty log lying
upon the horse. The inhabitants of
the town gather around to watch the

whether or not the couple will pull

Berlin's PALACES.

Berlin owes its palaces and many Of
its finest buildings to Frederick Will
liam |. That monarch had a passion
for building and transmitted it to 9TH
ers. Whenever he heard of a rich mer-
chant settling in the capital he ordered
him to build residence in keeping
with his wealth. If the merchant
obeyed he was duly rewarded, and
many German families owe their title
of nobility to an ancestor having built
a fine house.
