Almost everyone loves a story ot life in high society, and today the Colonial offers Anna Nilsson and Guy Coombs in just such drama: one of the strongest outputs of the big Kalem star cast.

She does not love her husband at first; but the sight of the true nature of her form CT lover proving that she had misplac- ed her love- she finds that the man she married. is the right man after all. He. however, has left his home town, upon finding his wife's lack ot love; and she follows him west, and suddenly comes upon him caught in a bear trap. Her timely arrival and devotion and his self-sacrif1cing n>. ture, prove them to be rightly mated after such strenuous honeymoon "The Idiot" is a spectacular Biograph drama and other features are, 'Bron- cho Billy. Outlaw with Anderson and "The Ever Gallant. Marquis" and ''Up- to-Date Courtship," two Edison com edies provide the laughs on the pro- gramme.

 4 very pretty novelty is presented by RSymonds Posing Dogs in theiI scenic offering entitled "The Hunt These thoroughbred hunting dogs are so wonderfully trained that it is hard only at the finish of the act that they show any signs of life. This is one of the prettiest acts ever seen in Nor wich.
 Tyson and Barbour are a pair oi refined singers and dancers, who have an exceptionally neat act. They are good singers. fine dancers, and. have some beautiful costumes. Classy is the best word that describes this act
 The last act is Toli, who is a comeEs heavy weight Juggler. Toli is a Frenchman who was playing in the West when the present European sit uation came to a crists. He came East but was unable to get passage back to France to join his regiment but arranged to sail for England. from Boston next week and the Auditorium is his last engagement in this country To close the show We have the great Ford Sterling himself in "Snookies Filtration No need to say any more.
