The Passime Theatre always on the
lookout for attractions to entertain its
patrons has secured one of Shuberts
features entitled 1.-The Mystery OF Ed
win Drood'' By Charles Dickens in five
acts, in which Tom Terriss the great
est living personator of Charles Dick
ems characters will be presented Fri
day afternoon and evening. This story
is different from the usual stories told
BY the films, there are no horse plays
or blood and thunder scenes as appear
in the wild west presentations, but like
all Dickens works they tell a tale
based upon natural life thas depict
human nature as it is. This presents
ton will appeal to all who love to read
the, great English author, because 1t
brings home to them the scenes OF ev-
cry day life, in which romance as well
as tragedy perform their parts. Re
member this is picture that IS rarely
seen in town of this size, only the
larger picture show houses have been
able to secure it, and therefore the pa
irons of the Pastime should show their
appreciation of Mr.. Wildman's enter
prise and willingness to get the best by
filing his house at both performances,
afternoon and night.
