She did not She found her sorrow hard to bear Because he was no millionaire; She cfided him day after day For failing to draw bigger pay; When he came home in need Of cheer Did she, all radient, appear To give him sweet -asSurance7 Nayl She made complaints about her cook She always had a hopeless look; She wished for things he couldn't buyi She told him she'd be glad to die And thus escape the Ills she had; He sometimes thought he would ba If sine could have her wish--but whyf She often seolded him because Some men were richer than he was; When they were asked out anywhere She never had "a thing to wear; He never saw her smile nor heard Her say a hopeful, cheerful word; But it was all his fault--so therei --S.

Wonderful Programme With The

Whenever and wherever Vitagraph feature is exhibited, it is always ac- corded the closest attention, for it is a well known fact that this company s reputation was established by it's close attention to detail. and in no picture of recent showing is it more apparent than in the superb two-reel nautical feature for today entitled The Pirates. 4 young sloop captain, fascinated by the wiles of a young daughter of a director of a prominent business firm, kidnaps the entire board of directors, carrying them aboard his yacht; rev. enue cutter pursues, also an envelop- ing fog. and John Bunny is in the midst of it all.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Today's Vaudeville and PhotopIay
 Offerings.

Today starts what is known as one of the worst weeks for business in the theatrical season and this week all road shows pay only half salaries and most theatres cut all expenses possible, but the programme at the Auditorium shows no cuts of any kind, both the vaudeville and photoplay programmes being up to the Auditorium standard of excellence.
 The show will start with Beauty apd the Ugly One, very clever western story by the Nestor company, and this will be followed by the big two-reel feature film Who Killed Olga Carew? baffiing mystery drama by the Imp company. with the two popular stars. lane Gail and Matt Moore. This was written and produced by Walter Mac Namara and is considered the strong est mystery film of the year.
 Coogan & Coogan, a team of clever singers. dancers and comedians, will start the vaudeville, and their 15 min utes of entertainment is of the best quality
 Fred Hildebrand. the suave songolog- ist. is in No. , position, and Fred can certainly put them over. This clever comedian has the personality that is so essential to the success of a song, and also the singer. and it is not what he sings but the way he sings it that has made him a fayorite.
 Pons & POns, with their sensational comedy acrobatic speciality, are in third place. and they alternately take your breath away and make you laugh with their daring and funny stunts.
 To close the show the first of the new joker films will be shown This is a new brand on the Universal pro gramme, and is composed of comedy films exclusively, and mostly of the roughhouse type. The title of the first joker film is Mike and Jake at College, and Max Asher as Jake and Harry Nc Coy as Mike will make you laugh until you cry. The football game in this picture would make horse laugh If you want to enjoy over an hour and 45 minutes of solid entertainment the Auditorium is the place.

Big Bill of Feature PhotopIays To-
 morrow.

For Tuesdays bill there are two spe- cial two-reei features; the first is The FIlly, a beautiful Irish story of Squire Vernon, the owner of the fastest horse in kincraig county, who is much op
 posed to his daughter receiving atten- tions from the son of Widow Riley. on whose house he holds a mortgage. The squire has two horses and he enters the best one in the Donnybrook steeplechase and feels sure that he will win the 590 pounds that is offered as the prize. The best laid plans of mice and men do not always come out as ex- pected, and love will always find a way, as is very clearly shown in this feature when the squires best horse gets beat by none other than one own ed by Danny Riley his daughters sweetheart It would take too long to tell the whole story here and spoil the interest. but you can just figure out for yourself, then come and see it; you won't be disa ppointed. Pretty Irish scenery and beautiful Irish costumes make this the best Irish picture shown in many a day. The other feature is a two-reel Domino plotoplay, The Judg
 ment story of the early New Eng land settlers ten years after the founding of the Plymouth colony; A Woman of Sin is the title of powerful Reliance drama and shows how 8 woman was taught to see the right through the influence of little child How He Won and The Actor Book Agent are two funny comedies to con- pete the bill.
