There is plenty of action, color. originalities, costumes, scenery and in fact every thing else@thaf goes to make LID a real classy condensed musical comery offering after you have seen that the principals and girl chorus is Of a high order and they are enjoying a splendid reception at evry show. The songs, dances and comedy numbers are interspersed with charming effect and there is an unnaistakab1e air of supe- riority to the entire production that makes 1t stand in a stronger high light than the usual musical comedy offering.
 Isaac You Tell Her. a comedy on the order of Potash & Perlmutter, is keeping the laughs coming at a lively gale for twenty minutes. There are four clever comedians in the act, the scene of which is laid in a wholesale shirt waist shop. and it's q case of en- pIoyes agains employers in merry battle of wits while the audience gets the advantage of the entire business tang1e.
 So seldom does one have the oppor- tunity to see two songsters on Vaudeville program using original songs throughout, that the offering Of Abbott & Brooks was received with delight by yesterdays audiences. ard the eccentric dance put over by one of the boys was 9 rare treat.

 Coal1ley, Mcbride and Milo, present ing an old-time minstrel first part have won a warm spot for themselves in the hearts of vaudeville lovers. Their singing is excellent and the numbers are we'll selected. The solo and ensemble dances remind one of the palnly days of Primrose and West.
 Miss Eva Shirley, a comedienne who last week won laurels at Hammer stten's, is making good with a ven geance here Miss Shirley has a carefully selected repertoire of song numbers and she sings them in a voice of wonderful range and color.

Byrkit Crouch, 431S Morning Side

was the only person near the operating

that he was viewing the pictures, and
that when the ma chine stopped he
thought nothing of it until he smelled
gas coming from the room in which the
machine was stationed. When the
fumes became strong Crouch jumped
from his seat to ascertain what the
trouble was. He found the film ablaze
and Immediately tried to subdue the
fire with sweater coat, he said.
BY this time the patrons of the play
house were rushing for the doors.

Touch With North America.

Webster City. Dec. &C. s. Dunlap
was able to get his wireless apparatus
in working order on Christmas day and
heard distinctly the time as given out
at Springfield, ILL.,, and Arlington,
Washington, D. c.
The government time is given out
at about 11:45 O'Clock in the forenoon
and again in the evening OF each day.
One of the most interesting features OF
the experimentation with the machine
was that Mr.. Dunlap heard distinctly
Christmas night about o'clock, the
united wireless distress signal. This
was repeated again and again ana
he concluded that it was from boat
in distress ON one Of the great lakes.
The next day, however, it was discov :
cred that the signal which was pre-
.ceded by repeated ticking of the let
term" must have been from ship
in distress in the gulf of Mexico, since
the letter IN" is the call for Havana,
Cuba, and since the weather forecast
for Christmas was for unsettled wealth
err in the gulf region. That this little
private station here in Webster City
was able to hear the ticking Of mes
sage from q ship in distress 1900 miles
away is bordering on the marvellous to
the mind untutored in wireless This
little instrument is tuned to give mes
sages over 1000 miles distant, altho it
may catch them from a much greater
distance.

Saturday a local man who was a few
years ago a wireless operator in the
Hawaiian islands. having heard Of the
instrument at the Dunlap jewelry store
went in and did little listening at
the phone connected with the instru-
ment. Almost Immediately he heard a
message licked off by an operator on
board the Siberia" on the Pacific
coast, in which he was calling for the
time. That this little instrument here
in Webster City was able to catch a
message given over 1000 miles away
seems more than wonderful and only
illustrates the undiscovered powers Of
the wireless. Two other operators IN
the United States were also heard on
Saturday asking each other about that
call Of distress on Christmas night
which was plainly heard at the Dunlap
store. Neither Of the operators was
able to tell where the call come from,
altho they also understood the signal
as call to Havana, Cuba, for aid Of
