THE Luck of a Totem" is the
title under which Harry Girard
and Agnes Cain Brown, assisted
by a capable company, will offer
a condensed version of the must
cal comedy hit. THE Alaskan"
ON the new bill at the Pantages
theater beginning Monday matt
nee. This is said to be the most
tuneful and the best-sung must-
cal comedy ever sent over the
Pantages circuit for some time.
Tacomans will remember the
gorgeously staged musical comedy
of the Far North presented here
a few seasons ago at the Tacoma
theater under the title of The
Alaskan" The music for this
piece was written by Mr.. Girard,
and he sang the leading male
role.
Harry Jolson has such a repu-
tation Of his own as a black-face
comedian that 1t is not necessary
to advertise him as Al Jolson's
brother. He has been in yaude-
Vile for years, and is one of its
best known fun-makers. He is
coming to the Pantages on the
new bill as one of it's big comedy
features. Jolson's song hits and
monologue are of the latest vim
tage, and he Is q big favorite over
the eastern circuits.
Before they were allowed to
come to this country for a vaude-

sidered a feather in the cap OF

cult.

PLYMOUTH ROCK OWNS
GREATEST POPULARITY

The most popular OF all American
breeds Of poultry, both in the United
states and foreign countries, is the Ply
mouth Rock. This breed Re- first orisi-
mated WAS OF tho barred variety. and this
is yet the most popular OF all the colors.
Early in the breeding Of Barred Ply
mouth Rocks many flnCicrs reported the
appearance of several chicks among their
iOcks that were pure white These were
known as white sports" and some were
bred together producing the present
variety of White Plymouth Rocks. These
attained great popularity and were widely
bred both for utility and fancy and
have proved perfectly satisfactory in
either capacity.
The fowls are hardy and especially
adapted TO farms and good range, hut
will also give good results in conhne-
ment, The hens lay large dark brown
eggs Of II grade much sought in certain
localities,
As rule the females viii become

The chicks are vigorous, strong and
active and grow exceptionally fast on
