the sensational drama of thrilling love

taken from Elinor Glyn's famous book
of the same name, has been the talk

that a great many more will see this

Irwin Beds''

Laughter runs riot through the three
acts of that New York record break
ing farce by Salisbury Field and Mar
garet Mayo, "Twin Beds" now in it's
sixth merry month at the Fulton the
atre, and still going stronger at each
performance.
The fun commences to approach
with the speed of a shell from Ger
man siege howitzer in the second act,
with a muzzle velocity of about 30,-
600 feet second. To escape some
friends, who have started to pail on
them, by reason of living in the same
apartment building, with one family
below and the other above, the Haw-
kins move to new building.
Imagine their CONSERVATION when
they learn that Signor Monti, the great
Italian grand opera tenor and his wife,
together with their friend Larkin and
his wife, have also moved into the
new structure and that the Hawkins
menage is sandwiehed in between the
two families, as of yore.
Selwyn & Company have selected a

Kolonial Kids Will Stay ALI Week

If you don't believe the Kolonial
Kids, that well known aggregation of
Harrisburg musical youths, are pop
ular with theatregoers, just ask any
one of them what Manager Hopkins
said to them when he invited them to
extend their engagement to take in
the full week. He said they were prov
ing one of the best drawing cards that
the theatre ever had, and the boys set
right at work arranging a new pro-
gram for the last three days of the
week. Wilmer & Vincent have promis-
ed the boys all the profit during the
time of their engagement, and the
boys know full well that if the time
of their booking was stretched out to
a week, the chances were the money
bag would be so much fatter on Sat
urday night. There will be three new
vaudeville acts on the bill with the
kids tomorrow. Tonight will be Coun-
try Store night at the Colonial, and if
laughter helps to make you forget the
hot weather that's the place to go.
There are more laughs in five minutes
at the Colonial's Country Store than
you can expect to get anywhere else
in a week.-Adv.*
