Meade plays the part of the 'FoOP

During the course of the play, in
a perfectly theatrical and stake sort
of way, he gets real rough with Miss
Kirby. 1t is a part of his act to storm

fool of him.
He had done it so often that he
began to believe it rather the natural
thing until recently.
1t was a tragic night for the matt

After the play Meade met Miss
Kirby and the other players as they
stopped for a chat on the stage.

Evsrything New Today Both in vaude- vile and PhotopIays

 Che headline attraction is Temple and Huh sa man and woman who present An eccentric comedy, singing and trav- esty sk1t, this act is a real treat and Sae singing Is one of the principal Features of the act. their comedy is original and extremely funny Skin Der and Woods are two expert dancing boys and the way they manipulate their feet will surprise you. The third act is the Great Gordine, the wizard magician who performs seemingly inn possible feats of magic and he keeps his audience in good llumor all the time by his witty sayings; the more you look the less you see. Among the photopiAys on this bill there will be shown the second reel of Our Mutual Girl series: those who saw the first reel last week will not care to miss khis one. She takes yeu to meet all sorae of the big places of interest in New York. This photoplay has caused n ore favorable comment than any other photopfay that has ever been shown. The big feature on this bill is a two reel Keystone comedy en- titled Tn the Clutches of the Gang, and you can imagine what will be the result-just one big laugh after an other in the whole 2,o00 feet of film All the notable Keystone comedians are seen in this comedy feature. The other photoplay is powerful K.

record in achievement, for the pro-
 moters of the Slater hall musical 1 courses. In all probability the Liszt | Concerto for Pianoforte and Orehes- | tra, in which MT. Frank L. Farrell will l be the soloist, will be the principal 1 feature of a notable programme. The Liszt Concerto E flat major No l, for pianoforte and orchestra, was composed probably in 1S4S-4s- It was revised in 1853 and published in 1857. 1t was performed for the first time at weimar, Feb. 16, 1855. when Liszt was the pianist and Berhiz conduct ed the orchestra.
 The concerto is dedicated to Henri Litolf and the orchestral part is scored for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes. two clarinets, two horns, two trumpets, two bassoons, three tronbones, kettle drums, triangle, cymbals, strings. The form is free. A few important themes are exposed. developed and undergo tempo
 The first and leading theme is at once given out decisively by the strings. with interrupting chords of the wood, wind and brass. This is the theme to which Liszt used to sing "Das versteht ihr ale nicht" This theme may be taken as the motive of the concerto. The opening is allegro maestoso, tempo guisto A. The sec ond theme, B major, quasi adagio 12-8 IS nrSt announced By muteQ CellOS ana double passes and then developed elaborately by the pianoforte. There are hints of this theme in the preced- ing section
 The third theme. E flat minor, al legretto vivace 3-4, in the nature of scherzo, is first given to the strings with preliminary warning and an swers of the triangle. The fourth theme is rather an answer to the chief phrase of the second than an indi- vidual theme.
 The sherzo tempo changes to ale gro animate A in which use is made chiefly of the motive theme. The final section is an allegro marziale animate, which quickens to a final presto.
 The fourth movement from the all legro marziale corresponds with the second movement adagio. It is only an urgent recapitulation of the earlier subject-matter with quickened, live Her rhythm, and contains no new mo- tive, this binding together and round ing off a. whole piece at it's close.
 The sale of seats for this concert will take place this morning, begin ming at S30 at the store of George A. Davis. Admission $2.00, all seats re- served. As the seating capacity of Slater hall is limited, it is advisable to secure seats early.
 
 In this country the telephone indus try employs 152, ,000 people.

Three New Acts and Spectacular
 Three Reel Photoplay at Auditorium,

Isday.
 The Auditorium has another aual- tty program listed for the last half or the week. and the bill shows care Iul selections in every number on it. Today is the last opportunity to see the last of the famous Universal Pi- rate series, three films which have taught more history than any books ever written. Captain Kidd was first. Under the Black Flag, second, and the cancers The three reels show just how and why the notorious Black Beard and Jean LaFitte, joined forces to- terrorize the high seas. This pie ture is not of the blood and thunder kind, but a thrilling production of his torical accuracy
 Fred Werner, the next act, is one or those rare occurrences, a come dian who can actually sing. MT. Wer- ner may be remembered as one of the team of Reeves & Werner who were here when the Auditorium played the first Sarah Bernhardt films ever shown in Norwich. MT. Werner has an excellent baritone voice which will be- heard in the latest. song hits
 One of the latest irnportations from France is the act presented by Mile Amoros and Thomas Mulvey Mile Amoros is the typical Parisian dan seuse, who is dainty and chic to her finger tips, and MT Muivey Is the typical American comedian and dancer of today, neatly dressed and right up to the minute. The best and brief est description of this act is classy
 Eddie Lyons, the polite comedian, grows more popular every day, and his many admirers will be delighted to see him today in the extremely fun ny comedy An Elephant on His Hands What would you do if someone left a live monkey and an elephant on your hands?
