SEE THE ALEXANDER KIDS

The kidlets you are going TO fall in
love with are the Alexander Kids at
the Orpheum this week They are Just
about the tiniest and cutest ever and
are scoring one of the biggest hits of
the current weeks popular Offering.
Judging from this side of the foot
lights, they look as If they might be
about four and six years. respectively,
but judging from the manner in which
they do their character songs and al
most wonderful dancing, one would
think they had the experience of a
good many years. The children dress
like grown-ups, which only accentuates
their youth and makes many of their
maneuvers comical. One of them does an
Italian character song, it's something
about Its Seven O'clock, Get Up" and
she not only has splendid facial express
sion, but walks the part, and has the
dialect down to a science. The real
scream of their turn comes when the
older appears on the scene in a man s
evening dress. and the tiny girl wears
pink taffeta silk gown, made in de-
hutante fashion. Now they do the tam
go with all it's dips and whirls and in
tect some antics that Just evoke pro-
longed laughter. The Alexander Kids
are a treat for children of all ages
They are already one of the big topics
about town. Some other excellent fea-
lures grouped with Joe Welch. the
celebrated Hebrew comedian include
Thea Leightner and Dolly Jordon.
Roehms Athletic Girls, Haviland and
Thornton; and several others of merit.

broken, ceilings fell in and the street
was covered wiul dust half an inch

"A terrible panic prevailed, the peo-
pie rushing into the streets, shouting
and weeping and begging for assist

at window in their home and both
were killed"

German Put to Death
For Killing Wounded
BelgiGns on the Field

London, Aug. 26. 80 A. M.-The
Ostend correspondent of the Daily
Mail telegraphs:
This city successfully defended it
self against an attack on Tuesday but
1t undoubtedly will succumb to the
next onslaught as the force of de-
tenders is small, consisting only of
200 gendarmes who. however. are
we'll entrenched.
Tuesdays attack was made by way
of Thielt. The Germans kept up a
continuous fire from four to six
o'clock in the morning, resulting in
the loss of only forty Belgians killed
and wounded. The Germans suffered
more severely. Several German pris-
oners were taken. One German who
wore the badge of the Red Cross was
shot at noon on the charge that he had
gone over the battlefield shooting Bel
gian wounded while ostensibly treating
them"
