ANNOUNCEMENTS
COLONIAL THEATRE.
Seats of the Mighty, GIittering Colonial
 Five Reel Spectacle.

One of the mightiest feature film spcctacIes of the season is the massive one at the Colonial theatre today, en- titled Seats of the Mighty, adapted from the story of Sir Gilbert Parker. The plot deals with Robert Moray, a young Englishman, to whom have been entrusted certain letters of Madame Du Barry, notoriously associated with Louis KY; how Moray goes to join Major Washington's expedition against the French, and how he is captured and taken to Quebec by orders of Dol taire, in supreme command over New France, who had previously been des- patched by La Pompadour, rival of Du Barry in the affections of the king, in an effort to secure the Du Barry let ters.
 The effect of Moray's capture and the result ultimate is clearly and vivid ly told in this remarkable story of Colonial days, which for gorgeousness has never been exceIled in any picture. Glitter1ng court scenes vie with each other for beauty and sumptuousness, and the scenes of the FaWning Court utterly beggar description, both for magnitude and spectacular beauty.
 Lionel Barrymore, long favorite at the Colonial theatre in Biograph films, plays lead, and this is a sufficient guarantee of it's excellence. Splendid comedy completes the bill. Prices for today are matinee 10C, evening 1Oc, children sc

GOOD COMPANY! FINE PLAY!
Bio Business Assured at the Davis
 Theatre Next Week.

The patrons of the Davis theatre next week will get their moneys worth with the Myrkle-Harder company. This is the 14th annual tour of this excellent organization, and when one stops to reflect at seeing such plays as Louis Mann's Elevating a Husband, New York city's latest success; David Felasco's wonderful production, Girl of the Golden West, ran two years at Belasco theatre: Cohen & Harris greatest of all crook plays, StQp Thief; Paul Armstrong's powerful play on the marriage question, The Escape; Under southern Skies, millions have laughed and gTieved at this grand old play of the south, and What Happened to Mary, better than Shore Acres, with all the original scenery. and with a. clever cast of actors, which will not suffer in comparison with the original cast, it is surely entertainment that one, should not miss, and the price is within the reach of all
 Endorsements from other cities claim that the Myrkle- Harder company broke all records for large attendance and that their performances of these recent New York successes would com pare faVOrably with the original pro- auctions at S1.5O and S2 prices
 E,levating a, Husband will be played Monday afternoon and night Matinees daily.
