The game was played in the

dance hall, and the local boys could
not stand up on the floor, it being

This will be sufficient ito attract rec
ord audiences to Robinson's Gregad
theater February Z. As the interest
in this engagement is unusually
strcng, orders for special seats will
be received by mail in advance of
the regular sale.
\ It will be with regret that local
.theater-goers receive the information
that this will be the last week Of the
Pearl Stock Company at the Victoria
theater. No stock company mas
ever appeared here and offered such
high class royalty plays-plays that
are still being presented at high
prices, and when the cost Of such an
undertaking is taken. into consider
alton, this company should be appre-
ciatedd all the more.
For the first half of the week,
starting tonight, one OF the highest
royalty plays of the season will be
offered, The House of Seven Cen
dies" dramatized from the famous
novel of the same name by George
Middleton. The quaint charm, the fas-
cinating romance and the thrilling
human interest of this successful
play can not be told in brief
synopsis, but suffice to say it has
been favorably criticized by the ma
tons leading dtamati ccritics during
rs long runs nthe leading cities,
where Il. NJ. Holland starred in the
mysterious but loveable character of
Bate" the serving man, who is
too good to be servant" which
role will be portrayed by Mr.. Web
ster. Miss Lewis will appear as
Marian Deveraux, and the full
strength Of the company will be re-
quired for this absorbing play Of
love and mystery, which at all
times fires the blood, arouses the
audience and keeps the auditor wide
awake.
A feature of tonight's perform
ance will be the announcement OF
the winner of the story contest that
has been conducted for the last
week, one of the conditions being
that the successful contestant must
be in the theater at the time to
to claim the award.
