DIoGENES STILL SEEKING
Diogenes was sitting on a fire hy@
drant when a kindly-faced man ad,
dressed him.
whats wrong with you, old
friend?" he asked.
1--WE been sorely misused," re-
piled the cynic.
'In what way?"
Gas turned yonder corner, car
rying my lantern, a youth ap-
preached me. Wherefore the glim?'
he asked. 1 replied that 1 was Diog-
enes looking for an honest man.
The youth laughed. You're wasting
time in this town, uncle he said.
Your glim is no use here And what
do you think? He took my lantern
away from me, and my hat and my
street car pennies, and ran around
the corner. The only thing he left
me of any value was my collar but
ton. Do you wonder that l appear
morose?"
mot at ALL - replied the kindly faced
citizen. you are quite excusable. I
am a little sorry, however, that in
your search for an honest man you
couldn't have waited until you met
me. But, perhaps it's just as well"
So saying he stopped down sud-
denly and, snatching away the philos-
opher's collar button, ran up the
nearest alley and disappeared.

Ono of the finest bills ever seen ai khis theatre will be the attraction fol The first half of this week both in vaudeville and pictures. The vaude- Rille feature for this bill is called Captain Kidder and Company a de- with plenty of good singing and a little comedy woven throughout 8 pretty plot, the scene is laid on the s@enshoxe and the company carry all their own settings, there are four men and one women in the act, and old AsheEman called Captain Kidder, sings to the young folks the tale of Robinson Crusoe. then there are sew eral popular songs introduced which makes one of the prettiest acts of the season. this is another Keith head liner and is a strictly high class vaudeville attraction. The feature picture for Monday and Tuesday is a duced by Thomas H. Ince. featuring Bessie Barriscale. This great picture gives . graphic portrayal of the lives of two sisters-one who chooses the false atmosphere of material pleas ures-the other who is content with the quiet sanctuary of home.
 Bessie Barriscale as the worldly minded one plays the part with won- derful tntesity. The girls gradual nescent from the pinnacle of luxury and ease to the depths of squalid pow erty and depravfty, the fading of youthful beauty and charm are SC true to life that the final scene that lends her sad, swift, eventful his- tory" comes like a swift and terrific shock.
 It is vivil picture of social con trasts. The butterfly life of the cafes and boulevards, the frothy gayety and Enobbefy of selfish pleasure seekers, 1n contrast to the stnsklicity and mo- bility of the sons and daughters of toll. are most realistically portrayed in series of pictures. superbly stag cd and splendidly acted The

The big feature on today's pro gramme at the Colonial theatre is the hlm- adaptation of Seven Days,'' A story that has undoubtedly arous- ed more public interest and criticism than any other picture of late date.

Enthusiastically into her first per- film when completed was adequate proof that the enormous sum ex- pended for the celebrated beauty services rewe wisely spent.
 Her Triumph" contains some or Gaby's most world-renowned dances. interwoven with tense, dramatic plot that holds the interest from the first flash to the stirring climax. The drama at first shows Gaby as a humble chorus girl in Paris, whose intelligence and eagerness are mo- understudy to the great Mile. Si- monde. who Is in town with the leading man, Claude Devereaux, mo- tices his attention to Gaby, believes that he has fallen in love with her, and tries to have her elected from monde resigns, which gives the ann bilious Gaby the chance she has so monde's place. Her performance that long awaited, and she goes on in Si- night is so splendid that Simnode, who has come to witness her under study's failure, is so enraged by her triumph that she pulls a revolver her rival. But the bullet intended for Gaby fells instead, Claude De- xereaux, her dancing partner, who however, is only slightly wounded, ana Slm0nde, banned ana furious, is forced to read in the mornings pap CTS of her hunderstudy's wonderful hit of the preceding night. Still more avid for revenge, Mile Simonde plans a terrible downfall for Gaby. and promises Victor, her won lover. to wed him. if he succeeds in ruining the popularity of Gaby as a dancer. For a time 1t seems that yictor's ma licious plot will be successful, but when the powerful close of the drama is reached. the pluclzy little dancer, Gaby, scores a yet more brilliant victory over her enemies, and the play ends happily.
 Harry Pilcer. Mile. Gaby's talent ed dancing partner, plays her lead in the production, which is exquisitely mounted and excellently east.
 The unusual feature win remain at the Auditorium Monday and Tuesday.
 The regular program of Universal reels will also be shown including a drama featuring Pauline Bush and a comedy with Eddie Lyons.
