will be brought TO a close at the Co
lumbia Theater a week from Saturday

be cleared for the opening of the regular
season the following Monday.

bill Of feature photoplays.
Nine. Sarah Bernhardt, the worlds
greatest actress, and her own alI-star
French company in Queen Elizabeth"

of the cinematographic art in five full
reels. Magnificent in its settings, rigid
in its adherence 10 historic accuracy, and
brilliant with the superb art of Bern

films ever produced.

a whole show by himself, and since he
has secured a starring position in the
Hurtig armament of burlesque celebri-

efforts. An attractive chorus. a magnifi-

goods" will make Taxi Girls" a most
noteworthy offering.

The early worm had its original home
In the Bermudas, which is especially the
place of production for things that have
come out of the grounds ahead of time
notably the early onion and the ambi-
tious young potato. The lily plants are
set out, like the onions, in beds about
four feet wide. and weeded with finger
and thumb. Tillable land brings such
a high rent that every inch Of ground
must be made to produce a maximum
output. but the Easter lily farmer thinks
his crop a poor one IL 1t does not yield
at the rate OF 5000 an acre.
The bulbs that reach this country ex-
ceptionally early command special
prices-a fact which has tempted the
Bermuda farmer to adopt the habit of
digging them before they are ripe. Ap-
parently this is one cause of the So
called lilly sickness Another cause
has been the practice Of obliging one
plant to produce both flowers and bulbs.
The grower who cuts the towering
stalk. has outraged nature. and It Is not
surprising that somebody should have to
pay for IL. Four or five years Of plant
ing and replanting are required to bring
the bulbs TO full size. some Of them
reaching a circumference OF fourteen
inches.
