AT THE AUDITORIUM,
Alexander the Great, Most Valuable
 Animal in Existence.

The Auditorium today is offering a Hevslty that eclpses all previous eff forts in the vaudeville line in Norwich, This Is Alexander, the millionaire mon Key, who IS known as the most Valu- &ble animal in existence. Although he EaS born a member of the highest or 4Sr of the ape family, a chimpanzee to be exact. he was taken when but a few days old. from his parents, and ever since that tire has lived the life O. normal child and man. Alexander eats drinks, smokes and wears the same clothes as the average man, and his actions are those of a man. not a monkey. He tries daily to master speech. and can already articuIate sim pie words. Some of his gymnastic 1eats would be impossible for man, and he is a wonder on a bicycle His trainer, Fred D'Osta, has him insured for s5O,0oQ, as AleXander's earning ca pacity Is greater than that of the sec retary of state He is ~erfectIy harm- less and delights to play with children He smokes strong cigars, plays the piano and other instruments, and in other words Is a living example of Dar- win theory of evolution. Scientific men and zoologists the world over baye marveled at this acme of train ing and environment. He does things you would not believe unless you saw them yourself
 In addition to this act. which is the highest priced one seen here in years two other first class acts are offered Wfxon & Rehan. rattling good team of comedians, and Maxine the wonder 1ul lady singing VentriloGuist. Four fine reels of Universal films are on the list also, headed by The Laws Decree two-reel Victor with Flo Lawrence and Matt Moore. Other films today are Sunsets in Many Lands, a photograph ic masterpiece; Loaded, an Eclair com edy, and Heaven Will Protect the Working Girl, a satire on the average blood and thunder melodrama by the Joker Comedy company. The quality of this bill speaks for itself. and it is not often theatregoers of this city have an opportunity of this kind.
