tic headliner. and all the clever Keith
hits supporting it will appear for their
last engagement at the popular the
ater tonight. Chief of the attractions
slated to appear next week is known
as Ralph Dunbars Mine Royal Dra-
goons," the finest singing band that
vaudeville has seen. Donned in fetch
ing white military uniforms, these
nine musicians make an attractive pic
ture before handsome black plush
drops Their expert manipulation of
various musical instruments in splen-
did repertoire of selections never fails
to fairly bring the house to it's feet.

rendered. On this same bill Claud

sence to present their newest comedy
drama, called The Straight Path"

Carl Rosine and company. - Adver-

novel feature in the way of entertain
ing its patrons, after each show of the
highest class motion pictures the
lights are flashed on and either Pro-
fessor Mallott or Professor Johnson
render a selection of classical music.
Persons who like to hear good music
Will appreciate to the fullest measure
the rendition of such selections as Poet
and Peasant" or the overture from
William Tell" or other pieces of the
same class. And on this wonderful
new $4,000 instrument every part of
an orchestra can be played by the one
man. One particularly attractive fea-
ture of this pipe organ is that while

manipulating the keys can give each
picture its proper tone action, thus
making the pleasures of seeing high
class motion picture plays under the
most modern and up-to-date con-
ditions. Don't fail to see "Tilie's

to be the funniest picture ever pro-
duced. 1t will positively be shown at

MAUDE ADAMS

Whenever Miss Adams has given
Barrie's comedy, Quality Street" this
season people have asked after view
ing the charming work: why has
not Miss Adams given us this play
before; why did she not revive it sea-
sons ago? She felt tnat the present
time was opportune and results have
justified her in her judgment In the
few cities in which the comedy has
been given during the present tour
it has drawn capacity audiences. Sue
cessful when first produced some
years ago the play seems to be even
more so now. AS has been announced
Miss Adams is to be seen in Quality
Street." at the Majestic next Friday
evening. All the quiet gentle hu-
mor-humor as penetrating as that OF
Thackeray, but infinitely kinder
that Barrie has breathed into this lit
tie study of early nineteenth century
life is eloquently conveyed by the per.
formance of Miss Adams. AS Phoebe

too soon wears the cap of middle

trait that is very real and very low

Questioned as to what the suffrage
leaders thought of the rumor that the
Republican party organization would
work against suffrage at the polls, Mrs.
Roessing smiled and said: "One is be-
cause we honestly believe that the real
political leaders of this State are far
too clever not to see the handwriting
on the wall and fight movement
which is sweeping the entire country"
In conclusion Mrs. Roessing said:
/ II do not believe there is one man
in a million who ever voluntarily does
anything which might be construed
as unsportsmanlike. Consequently /
cannot help but feel that the great
majority of men who vote on the suf-
frage question this Fall will give the
women the benefit of the same spirit
of fair play in reaching their con-
clusions as governs them in their con-
s'ee~ntion of other important aues-
