TODAY AT THE AUDITORIUM.

Probably the best vaudeville show that has played the Auditorium this season has been booked for the first three days of this week and promises to furnish a fine variety both in the vaudeville and picture line. The Mon key Cabaret will be the headline vaudeville number and in this act Is monkeys and four people take part
 the monkeys doing a whole show all by themselves. The Monkey Cabaret is an act which seldom plays a town ss small as Norwich and the man agement of the Auditorium should be congratulated for securing it. This act has the reputation of being the biggest laughing act on the vaudeville stage and will no doubt prove this assertion among Norwich theatregoers the first half of this week. Addie Les lie. a pretty young woman with fine vcdce will render several song se- lecttons and wear several changes of beautiful costumes. Johnny Yeager, who wae seen at this theatre three years ago. will be on the bill again

Popular Lectures.

Central America is a part of this hemisphere on which attention has been focused within the past few years because of the construction and completion of the Panama canal With the country in the immediate neighr borhood oe the canal everyone is familiar because of the infinite number of magazine articles, books, etc, pub lished about the canal itself. But of the country few hundred miles from it little is known by any but the oc- casional student of the antiquity of South America. History tells us of the amazement of the onquistadores, those intrepid Spanish explorers who first penetrated and conquered Cen lral and South America, at the evil dences of a most highly developed civilization with which they came in contact immediately on setting foot on the new continent. Cortis. it will be remembered. after finally making his way to Mexico City ia the face of {. most extraordinary series of ex- periences and adventures occupying several months. learned that Monte zuma, the Indian emperor, had known of the landing of the Spaniards the day after their arrival at the coast through the activities of his own re- markedly organized intelligence bu- reau.
 Tonight in Slater hall at o'clock an opportunity will be presented to learn more of this most interesting phase of the early history of this hem isphere. Ellsworth Huntington, Ph. D., assistant professor of geography at Yale. will deliver an illustrated lecture. the third of the Slater hall course of popular lectures, his subject being, Central America and the Highest Ma tive American Civilization. Professor Huntington, who is one of the most noted mountain climbers in this coun- try, has travelled in his explorations to most of the countries of the world dn him the keen observation of scientist is combined with remark able skill as a Photographer, and the result of these eminent qualifications is an illustrated lecture of absorbing interest and great beauty.

Today Robert Edeson is seen to his best in his virile creation of the character of the northwest. The story is one of great interest and is adapted from the story of The Con jurors House, teeming as it is with scenes of remarkable beauty and vigor The action is spirited at all times and there is not the slightest lag in the interest thereby. Everyone is familiar with Robert Edeson and his very fin- ished performances given on the dra- rnatfc stage in this city.
