the Auditorium last evening with a
presentation Of Paul Armstrong;
western comedy drama. The Heir to
the Hoorah" IL might be explained
that the "Hoorah" is the name of
one of those fanciful western mines
that always makes their owners fab
uously wealthy and the heir was a
baby boy that reunited an estranged
couple.
A number OF interesting and anus
ing types were well prayed. or will
be with a few more rehearsals. Mr..
Milham played the westerner of
wealth mated to an eastern girl with
a troublesome mother who did not
approve Of his rough ways and
rougher friends. Re carried the part
nicely and was more consistent than
in his work last week Miss Levin,
as the estranged wife, who later
learns TO love her husband, was salts
factory. Miss LaVerne played a
breezy western widow with her usual
ease of manner and genial spirits. She
favored the audience with brief
speech expressing a regret that II was
necessary for the company to make
its departure after this week.
Miss Blakeney pleased, as usual,
although her part was small. Her
youth. freshness and talent have made
her a favored player and shH Will be
missed. Mr. WadswOrth did we'll in
his usual Juvenile role and q number
of other western characters were por-
trayed with more or less fidelity. Some
of the scenes are amusing and all have
been carefully staged.

WITH CAPT. SCOTT.

The Oliver theater commencing this
afternoon and continuing twice daily
for five days. will have for its at
traction the motion pictures OF the
stirring and tragic adventures which
befell Capt Robert Falcon Scott II
his quest for the south pole. The pic
lures are the work OF Herbert c..

was tie official photographer OF the
expedition. They are said 10 be I'M

Starting with the departure Of the

bridge, from Port Chalmers, New
Zealand. the pictorial record covers
every important feature OF the ven
ture5ome journey into the frozen
wastes OF the antarctic until the
photographed had 10 be left behind

replaced by the DEMONSTRATING pro-
visions OF pemmican. cocoa, tea, SUI

The Immortal Five" as they have
come to De known. Capt. Scott, DR..
Wilson. Lieut. Bowers. Capt. Oates
and Petty officer Evans are shown
as they pitch camp for the night. They
are seen crawling into their sleeping
bags and cuddling together like newly
born chicks for warmth. In a
dramatic moment the lecturer ex-
plains that this very tent became
their tomb and the sleeping bags
their shrouds
Then is shown the most treasured
pictures Of the lot The ones which
were found alongside the body OF
Capt. Scott which had been taken
right at the south pole. In one is
seen the tent OF AmUndsen. who had
reached the goal a month ahead OF
Scott; in the other the captain and
his four gallant comrades are grouped
upon the ice.
A considerable part Of the pictures
reveals the animal life OF the antarc-
tic, and scientists have admitted that
much new light is shed upon the
habits of the seal and the penguin
thereby.

home to dinner the other evening

Els AZ a package of dried catnip?"
"Cat-thunder! What in blazes
would be bringing such stuff home
for? Just let it alone It'll 1 get ready
to exhibit and explain"
AS they sat at the table during the
dinner hour he chuckled many times
to himself and smiled in a triumphant
way, but it was not until they had
reached the sitting room that the mys-
terry was solved. Then he united the
package with the greatest of care, and
after removing half a dozen different
wraps he tenderly lifted up and held
aloft an old blue platter and proudly
exclaimed:
'Behold the gem. Mrs. Bowser!"
Its a platter" she said after a
long, look.
Yes, it's a platter. and to your eye
1t probably appears to be nothing but
a platter. I presume If you saw this
thing out in the back yard you would
kick 1t aside as worthless?"

Bowser as he. backed off and waved
the platter around his head. "wom-
an, haven't you an iota of sense in
your head? An idiot fresh from an
asylum would not have, asked a TOM
fool question like that"
Then what is 1t for?"
what is it for? What are rubies
and diamonds and master paintings
for? Why do people pay fabulous

corrected.
