PARK THEATRE

BROUGHT AND PAID FOR"
 Tomorrow night and wednesday will mark the appearance here of William A Brady's production of George Broadhurst's play, tBought and Paid For.'' The story of the play briefly told, follows:
 Robert Stafford marries a telephone girl. Stafford is kind hearted, gen. erous considerate and deeply attach ed to his wife, but he has one fault. His besettfng sin is drink. He is a gentleman souse. At such times his wife, who has grown to love him, is in mortal terror, not so much for fear of his striking her, but because she feels that when he is under the in- f1uence of liquor, he is another man as though she, wife, was being ca- ressed by a, drunken stranger. It is while Stafford is on one of these sprees that his wife repulses him and exhibits her disgust. She refuses to kiss him and her attitude arouses the mans obstinacy until he frankly in- forms her that she is bought and paid for; and that she would not have married him if he had not been rich, that he paid her price and that she is is property. The truth of the state ment is forced upon her and, scream ing, she runs to her bedroom and locks the door. Stafford picks up the iron tongs from the fireplace and breaks in the door. This is one of the strongest scenes ever staged.
 Al Reeves Beauty Show will be- gin an engagement of three days at the Park theater, Thanksgiving after noon and evening. Besides MT. Reeves himself, are such favorable performers as Andy Lewis, who was for several seasons the star of his own com pany; "Chick' Cameron, who is just a naturally funny entertainer and singer; Zella Russell the soloist; Miss Vera George, a comedienne, and oth- CTS.

EMPIRE.

.''The Pit and the Pendulum the terrifying but thrilling story of Edgar Allen Poe, with the blood-curdling de- scription of the Inquisition has been made into moving piet and will be shown at the Empire theater to- day The tortures of the Inquisition are shown with no mean degree of realism and we also get a glimpse of history in the French Army abolish ing the Inquisition at Toledo. An other very interesting picture in two parts based on the latest discovery of science, entitled ttWho Killed Olga Carew?" will also be shown. It is story of love, romance, adventure and above all mystery. Its primary sit uation or rather complication is based upon one of the latest theories of science relative to the identification of murderers. A monkey plays an

ATTRACTIONS ETA AT 1.-THE THEATRES
pOLI'S THEATER

An immense carnival of fun and frolic will be indu1ged in tonight at the big Poi theater where the society tango contest is to be staged under the secrecy of mask and costume. To see real dancers of the refined tango those who would not appear in public unless they were assured of that se- crecy which only the most reputable Of theaters can guarantee-is a sight which will seldom be witnesses. As the conditions are most propitious, the prizes adequate, and the rivalry be- tween many of the younger society bel1es and beaux the keenest, most un- expected appearances will be made. It will be for those who sit in the audi" ence to guess who each dancer is and to award the money to those making the best showing both in dance and costume effect
 Both before and after the event of the evening and at the matinee per formance there vii be a magnificent offering of six live, thrilling and glo- rious acts. Acts in which artists of ability appear, and one huge company of ten singers dancers and comedians, the Minstrel Riddles" rightly named from the youthful chorus of girls whose fresh and bright faces add to the gayety of the occasion. This act direct from Broadway IS one which starts novelty where other ensembles leave off.
 Also on the bill are Lonzo Cox, the scissor cartoonist; Victorine 6 Zolar, 1augh-makers; Ma1ey 6 Woods, come dians; Schroedy & Mu1vey, comic &C., rcbats, and Willie Hale & Brother kings of the juggling Jestens.
 Photo-p1ays supreme interesting, and above all clear, reetful and with out eye-strafn, will be shown to an ex- tent that eclipses even the exclusive picture show.

THE GILA M0NSAER
Is MUCH MALIGNED

Probably there is no other living
creature more feared by the
ignorant than the Gila monster,
about which all manner of weird
tales have been told. 1t has even
been held that the mere breath of
this animal is sufficient to cause
death to the one upon whom il
falls. Scientific inquiry, however.
fails to disclose single instance
wherein the breath or even the
bite of this creature has resulted
fatally. The fact tnat dissection
and microscopic examination do
not reveal any trace of glands for
the secretion of venom is sufficient
evidence to indicate that this
curious member of the lizard
family has been slandered.
Some years ago u civil engineer
In the southwest undertook 10 settle
once for all the question whether
the monster" was deadly or not.
A fine specimen was captured and
confined in wire inclosure. A
chicken was obtained and its
feathers removed in order that
tile lizard might have every oppor-
tunity to strike at the breast.
The chicken was then held quite
close to the Gila monster. which
soon snapped viciously and secured
a firm hold on the fowls breast
retaining this grip for more than
ten minutes. When the victim was
released it was found that the
chickens breast bone had Ibeen
broken. Nevertheless the fowl
quickly recovered, the bone knit
ting and the wound healing with
no symptoms of poisoning.
1t is very probable that the
reputation for evil borne by the
Gila monster is due solely to its
most iepulsive appearance

A YOUNG WOMAN
FOUND FREEZING

The Carson City News reports
that a young woman about Is
years Of age "A new conner to the
city and a habitutc of the half
world. was found lying alongside
the road nearly to the prison last
evening by Lieutenant Kelly of the
Prison Guards. The woman had
evidently been thrown from a
saddle horse and was in a pitiful
condition. MIR. Kelly tried to get
her onto the horse which he was
able to capture and bring her to
this city, but without avail as the
hosre would not stand and the wO-
man was helpless. The night was
bitterly cold and the woman Sc m
ed TO be almost frozen. Mr.. Kelly
covered her up ms well rs he could
and hastened to the Orphaus Home
where he notified the officers by
phone Of the occurrence, An auto
was brought to the city prison and
DR.. Gree summoned. II was
found that she was not injured TO
any extent unless she had contract
ed pneumonia by the exposure
as she claimed she had just r, cover
ed from an attack of the disease.
The woman surely owes her life
to the opportunc discovery made by
Mr.. Kelly.
