Special scenery de- picting ship deck sets the act off to advantage and the exciting cycle race finish Is an entirely new novelty. The McNaughton Brothers have caught the house at every performance with their clever singing and talking speciality one fellow doing straight and the other Scotch; the line of jokes are of the best and they can get laughs without resorting to methods usually used by the poorer class of acts. Fredo and America are two clever musicians and singers, their acts consisting of violin and guitar selections, playing everything from ragtime to classic. Smirl and Keeiey have novelty sketch called The New Boy and the acrobatie work introduced by the male member of this act is wonderful; noth- Ing like 1t has ever been attempted by the general run of acrobats playing this city Harry Ferris completes the sdouEylue part oI the program with 8 delightful comedy ventriloquist act that is original and clever; his imita-
 ion of gramaphone is. so realistic that you almost imagine you can see one before you. There will be a com plete change of photoplays today con sisting of Just 8 Song at Twilight, a beautiful Majestic drama, The Jan itor, an impressive Reliance drama, The Famous Mutual Weekly and Lit tie Billy'S Strategy another of those clever kid comedies produced by the Keystone juvenile comedians.

 Traffic in Souls is the apt title to this remarkable series of pictures that show in a most vivid and truthful manner tke many pitfalls and snares laid by the vice trust in it's quest for victims.
 To fully and faithfully illustrate this subject, Traffic in Souls enlisted the services of over 800 actors and in it's 6 reels are shown 500 scenes, every one 2. direct message to mothers as to the necessity of properly safeguarding 1heir daughters.
