Mr. Taylor, seldom have any one to
speak for them, and the information

comes from those opposed to their

realize that they hare the best con-
tract they could have, better than

Iarity of this show. Heading the bin today is the Three Gilden Sisters. a trio of clever misses who do a sing ing, dancing and costume change act that Is entirely new and different from anything ever seen here. Helen PHm- rose comes next with a novel singing and talking speciality and the way this dainty little lady puts her act over leaves nothing to be desired. The other act is Anita. the bewitching gypsy violinist. This winsome lady plays the violin in a manner that marks her as an artist of the highest standard. Her repertoire consists of ragtime to classic, and a genuine treat is in store for all lovers of music this half of the~week.
 In the photoplays today the feature is a two reel Keystone comedy called The Knockout, with Charlie Chaplin, that funny little fellow, who can cause more laughs than any person on the moving picture screen. Another two reel feature is the Domino special call ed, Jimmy, film which tells a pow erful story of New York life. Our Mutual Girl will complete the bill in a series of new adventures especially in teresting to the ladies. Matinee daily at 2.30. and 10 cents: evening at and S.45. 10, 15 and 20 cents.

THE PRICE OF PEACE

Not by dripping swords of wariors, Nor by the dropping bombs from
 airmen in the sky; Not by the.sayage thirst of conquerors Who in the frenzy of their lust boast
 bold and sigh For other worlds to trzmpIe meath
 their hoofs of steel Not by frozen proclamations wx1t by hearts Of Ice; Nor by metallic reasons peuned by
 pens that do not feel The toll of War on the toll Of human
 life; No, not py hot ambitions nor the soul
 stained nag of strife, An. Men of Clay, 'tis not by these
 that Peace is bought. Not through the vale Of death Is
 qu1etude,
 Not by a, million crimes is virtue Not for the Love of sin sits Recta-
 tude,
 Branding Christian Nations with the
 Seal of Cain, Not. by the hate of Man for Man may
 souls be saved, Not by a yitric poison may a wound
 be healed, But only love Of Man by Man, thus
 Christ has paved The road to Peace in the hearts of those who feel, Oh, Men of Power. come walk upon
 this road; come drop the pointed And know within thy breasts that ye are walking now with Peace, The Peace that leads toward God. Henry Victor Grahn, in <Philadelphfa Public Ledger.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.

The Auditorium has another attrac- tive vaudeville bill to offer to its pa = irons for the last three days of this week, headed by Evans and Arken, who present Between the Battles, comedy military satire, with the scene laid in a United States military camp. The setting is a very unique one and the comedy that goes on between the two old veterans Is certainly amusing. The sketch is a little on the order of that popular old military satire. The Battle of T - Soon, which played this theatre about three years ago and was a very big hit. Second on the bill today come the Mclean Sisters, two comedy misses who will sing and dance their way into immediate popular fa- vor at every performance. Last, but by no means least, on the bill is that funny comedian, George Barron, who is known here in town, having played here before as principal comedian with big musical comedy attractions. MT. Barron is a very funny man and intro duces some clever comedy which is away from the ordinary and alwayG from his audiences.
 On the picture programme today Dorothy Phillips and William Gaden, two very popular motion picture stars with the Imp Co.. will be seen in Tempest and Sunshine, a two-reeI dra- ma of intense interest. Murdock Mac Quarrie is billed to appear today also in The Old Bell Ringer, a very cleverly written drama, and the Victor Co. will introduce The Funny MT. DingIe, a corking good comedy reel
 John Philip Scusa and his band have been secured to -lay a, matinee per formance at the Auditorium wednes- day, Nov. IS, and tickets will go on sale for this attraction at the box of- flee next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock The prices will be s1, 73c and soc, an unheard of low admission to a Sousa concert in this town.
