THE PAST WEEK
AT THE THEATRE
One Thousand Admissions at the
Thursday Evening Attraction,
The Wishing Ring"
as MINUTES FROM BROADWAY"
Saturday Night Attraction Of Unusual
Merit and Was Witnessed by
Very Large Crowd.

! Manager Krauth, of the Gcrmania
opera house, has furnished the amuse-
mcnt loving public with series of
excellent attractions during the past
week. The movies have been of ex-
cept:onai merit, the serial Trey O.
Hearts proving exciting and full of
interest. 4 good crowd was in at
tendance AT both shows. The Thanks
giving number was advertised as
America" taken from the New York
ilippudrOme, but owing to some mis-
understanding the films failed TO ar
rive. and a substitution was made by
bringing out The Wishing Ring" in
six reels. The pictures were of high
character and the actors showed con-
siderable ability The scenery Was
laid in England and the stage setting
very beautiful. One of the largest
houses Of The year attended the Thurs
day evening attraction.
On Saturday night the much her
aided "Forty-tive Minutes from Broad
way" was very largely attended. The
out OF town seat sale was more than
two hundred dollars. Because of the
booking being for Saturday night, the
curtain did not go up until 8 O'Clock
to accommodate the local business
men and clerks. The hour of the be-
ginning OF the performance had not
been sufficiently advertised and those
who came from Il distance We're some
what disappointed that the hour for
returning home was very late. For
the most part the entertainment
proved very satisfactory, although
many expressed themselves as favor
ins The Modern Eve" comedy in
preference to the one of Saturday
night. The chorus was not sufficient
~ strong to command particular at
tention. The two leading characters,
Corrine. as Mary Jane Jenkins, the
housemaid, and Bernard Riggs, as Kid
Burns, were very good. Many who
had seen the attraction in large cities
said that these two characters were
the equal OF those taking part in the
city production. Much special seem
cry added to the performance, but
there was a lack of chorus singing
and dancing that was expected.
However, the entertainment was sat
isfactory and Manager Krauth de-
serves credit for his bookings.
On Friday evening of this week
Wellesley college benefit will be Civ
en- at the Germania opera house when
excellent photos will be shown. In con
nection with the pictures there will
be a candy sale to take place in the
lobby of the house. The entertain
nent promises to be good.
On Saturday evening of this week
will appear tie second number of the
lecture course under the auspices of
the Denison high school. The num-
Der will be OF humorous character
and will no doubt prove entertaining.
On Tuesday evening, December 9Th,
Manager Erauth has booked what is
said to be q splendid comedy, entitled
''llen Pcckcd Henry" While there
are only seventeen people in the COM
pany, they are all actors and the Choir
us is an exceptional one. For Monday
evening OF next Week the title of the
picture play viii be "War is He'll"
This piece does not mean the present
F.ui opean war. but depicts soldiers
lie and gives many stirring scenes.
