SARAH sERNEARDT PICTURES AT
 THE AUDITORIUM AGAIN.

Because of the great success of the Bernhardt pictures of Camille, shown here q number of weeks ago. 1t has been decided to put on another famous picture play with this same actress starring. This time the play will be La Tosca, Sarah Bernhardt's greatest success. and also one of Sardou's greatest of tragedies. The play win be in two reels, and should be even more interesting than Camille, as there is much more action and excitement in it. This picture will be shown here for three days next week, Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday.
 The featyue act on next weeks bin is the Five Msksic1 McLarena, an ex- celIent vaudeville number which is re- ally a whole show in itself. Juggling De Lesls, 6 performer who seldom plays a small time house, and who has a reputation as 6 jugg1er that few can boast of. will be the second act on Mondays bill Owing to the feature tthe Bernhardt d11ns) the third act for the first half of the week will be dis pensed with. but will be resumed again on Thursday.

AT THE DAVIS.

Blood Will Tell. title of the two reel feature at this popular playhouse. Is the best story yet, and is better told than most. Just a story of the days when men from the north and from the south fought for a principle; when, as in this story. a father might feel sure that he owed allegiance to the state in which he was born, and the son be equally sure that he must fight pr the one flag that waved over all
 -ates. The production of Blood Will
 ell has not taken sides, but has offer
 l a photopIay which will do much to
 lake the rising generation understand ,omethtng of what men and women suffered that the Union might be pre- served, and all this so interestingly told that the more familiar you are with the history of the war between the states, the more intensely interest ing you will find the story.
 There are the usual number of feat ures on the bill and the acts are, if anything, a little better than usual.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS BALL.

There are many new features to be introduced at the coming ball of the Knights of Columbus. The committee in charge have been working hard the past month and are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to make this coming ball one long to be remember ed Cue of the -rfncfpaI features will be that of the decorations, and judging from the plans already under way it will be well worth the price of adnlis- sion to see the armory the night of the ball The colors used this year will be entirely different from anything that has been seen in the armory in the past The lights in the electrical dis play will correspond to the colors of the cloth used in decorating, and thus bring about a pleasin- effect. The boxes around the hall are being given more attention this year, with a view to making them more comfortable and cozy. Every possible device has been considered and acted upon to convert the armory into a veritable ballroom that will be at once pleasing and at tractive to- the eye. Much time and labor has been devoted to this feature of decorating and the committee can assure all those who may attend that there will be many surprises in store for them on that evening.
