AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Vaudeville and Moving Picture

The three vaudeville acts at the Au- ditorium Thursday proved to be of a very pleasing sort and were we'll ap- plauded by large audiences at both per formances. Happy McNally, the hu- man locomotive, was right at home with his classy jokes and songs and his imitation of a locomotive seems real. Sullivan and Clark, comedy sing ing and dancing duo, were a very good entertaining pair and with their songs and recitations made big impression on the audience The Berlin Trio. a musical trio of good standard, violin, cello and piano, are musicians of the topnotch order and made big hit.
 The Old CobbIer, 1o1 Bison, was the feature picture, and comedy of the Sterling company entitled It's a Boy completes the programme.

The new star appeared in a gripping story and the setting of the drama and the admirable acting all the way through came home to those who ap- preciate the possibilities of the photo play. Cameo of Yellowstone was next in favor on the bill, a stirring portrayal of western cow punching in the hill country with the element of true love administered in the right place. The other picture features were good and Messrs. Boyle and Craig. increased their circle of admirers by their Judgment in selecting and their art in rendering their repertoire of songs
