BELASCO.

The - series Of Paul J RsineT's
African hunt pictures. which the
Messrs. S:Ihert presented =. the Belas-
CO Thea'er last week proved such a
drawing card that the management of
that playhouse arranged to keep It for
another week. starting tonight. This
series is the best that Mr.. Rainey
has yet produced. and includes one o,
the most dramatic and exciting scenes
ever taken by movie man" This IS
nothing less than a lion charging

COLUMBIA.

a wealth of motion picture excellence
awaits audiences at the Columbia
Theater. where the second week of the
Lyman Howe travel festival will be
inagurated this afternoon at ; o'clock,
with daily matinees thereafter at els
and evening performances at S:l5. eX-
cept next Saturday. The company has
been booked TO open in a Western city
Sunday afternoon and to meet the
engagement it is necessary to leave on
an early train. The Howe pictures are
different from all others not only in the
way the subjects are selected. but be-
cause every scene is accompanied by
the sound that would be heard in ma
ture-a field in which no other exhibitor
attempts to compete. The great thrill
OF the new program will be provided
iE a runaway train which is entirely
different from the one presented by Mr..
Howe several years ago. Starting at
a normal speed, il rapidly increases in
momentum and finally plunges down an
inclined plane at velocity that gives
spectators the experience OF a lifetime.

GLEN ECHO.

With the open season FOR amusement
parks rapidly narrowing down 20 days.
the popularity of Glen Echo park is still
increasing and when the lights are
switched off for the last time this sum-
mer there is every indication that a
new record for seasons attendance will
have been set. The management is
planning to make the close OF the sea-
soE as big an event as was the OPEN
ing and special features will mark the
celebration of Labor Day. There will
be a series of concerts this afternoon
and tonight by the Charles o. Mills
orchestra with a request program"
and many of the old favorites will be
heard.

in exactly the same way. Mr.. Reizen-
stein has a clever conception and II
should prove a great success.
But if ON Trial does score a great
success. II will be because of Mr.. Hop
kins. who never thought of writing a
play. Mr.. Hopkins IS an inventor. and
he has invented a device for shifting
scenery that makes possible the dark
ing OF the stage for an instant on one
scene. TO light il again the next instant
on an entirer. different scene. 1t is pre-.
dicted that Mr.. Hopkins device will rev.
olut!onize theatrical mechanics. Hop
kins calls II an alternating stage by
means of which il is possible to So,
up TWO scenes AT once and to swing
one in place of the other in an instant
II is stated that the system is entirely
different from the revolving stage and
much more practical It has been pre-
diCted that tho use of the Hopkins
stage will permit the production of
any number of scenes requiring full
stage without a minutes delay in n
vaudeville show. and thus permit the
fun stage To be utilized for every act
instead of making necessary the produc-
ton Of so many acts in one, as the
act before the drop curtain is called
while the stage in the rear Is being
set up for another turn.

tirely the same as that to be presented

The popularity of the Paul j. Rainey
1914 series of African hunt pictures has
so fully justified the predictions that
were made for them by those who have
seen them elsewhere that the engage
ment of the films has been heightened
another week. The pictures are the
most vivid portrayals OF animal life
ever seen here and include a collection
of beasts and birds such as IS not to
be seen even in the best of ZOOS. There
are two showings OF the film today at

Pierre.-The last legislative session
provided a special appropriation Tor
road work on highways bordering upon
state lands, complaint having been
made by the local authorities Of the
expense all being placed upon the
community, with the state paying moth
ing for such work. This complaint
was the strongest from counties in
which there is a large amount of state
land held In extensive tracts and
which must be crossed by people resid-
ing in sections separated by these
state tracts. Any work for which the
special appropriation of $4,000 can
be used must be under contract let
by the state land department, after
viewing the proposed work along with
local officials. Such a contract has
Just been let for work at several
points in Marshall county, the whole
amount being about 5 5000, which goes
to that county. The contract was let
at the extremely low rate of 10 cents

ing the bidder at that price.

Committeeman Entitled to Money.

Pierre.-The attorney general holds
that proposal committeeman who at
tended the judicial proposal meetings
are entitled to mileage even though
no endorsement was made. The mile
age was for attendance and not for en-
dorsements. On inquiry from Dawson
county he also holds that the chairman
of a proposal committee may fill vacan-
cies on the ticket regardless Of what
may be the cause of such vacancy.
The query was on contention or attor-
neys that the only manner in which =
chairman could act was where there
was a vacancy after acceptance Of the
nomination and a resignation. But this
contention was held to be not good,
the power being tH fill vacancies when
the candidate selected refused to ac-
cept as well as in any other contiil-
ge1fcy.
