ANNOUNCEMENTS
AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Big Holiday Bill For the Last Three Days of the Week-Mary Pickford Today.

For Thursday, Friday and Satur- day of this week the management has to offer a specially secured vaudeville and photoplay bill for the holidays. The feature will be a very novel of fering in the instrumental musical line by the Four Montana Girls, a quartette of comedy misses who will be heard on the cornet, saXaphone, trombone, and several other brass instruments. This is one of the best lady quartettes in the business and promises to be de- cided hit here. Another class A act will be presented by Fairbanks and Major, versatile pair who seem to do a little of everything usually seen on tho vaudeville stage, including comedy, singing, talking, dancing, juggling and balancing. This also is an exceptionally good number. The third act will be presented by Frank O'Brien, the minstrel man. who has a lot of new stuff that will surely please.
 On the picture programme for today only, Mary Ptckford will be seen in Little Pal instead of The Wild Olive, with Myrtle Steadman, which was originally advertised, it being neCes- sary to make change at the last mo- ment.
 Little Pal provides Mary Pickford with one of the most unique roles in which she has ever been presented. The photoplay is one of primitive emo- tions and primal passions, and evil dences a hitherto unsuspected aspect of Mary Pickford's astonishing yer salty.
 Assisted by a capable cast, incIud- ing Russell Bassett, George Anderson, and William Lloyd, Little Pal may be termed one of the foremost Famous PIayers-Mary Pickford triUmphs that have yet appeared on the Paramount programme.

HIGHEST PRICE FOR
 COPPER SINCE 1907.
High Grade Metal Selling at 20 1-2
 Gents a Pound in the Market.

New York. Dec. 22.-With high grade copper selling today at 20 1-2 cents a pound, it's highest price since 1907, Wall street looks for another boom in that industry. Metal shares were the chief features of tOday's market, American Smelling being most promi- nent. if not the strongest. while Ana conda, Utah, Inspiration and half a dozen less conspicuous issuts followed, all at substantial gains.
 In the course of the day it was ru- mOred that one of the largest of the producing companies had virtually closed a contract for deliveries all through 1916 to foreign interests, par ticularly British, at betkeen 20 1-2 and 21 cents. The rumOr lacked confirma- ton in authoritative quarters, but it was believed that the foreign demand is likely to cause activity for many months to come. Germany, it has been consistently declared, is placing orders here to be delivered after the cessation of hOstilities and it is estimated that the amount of the metal required for reconstruction" purposes will run into many hundred thousand tons.
 Representatives of the leading sell ing agencies, which distribute the out put of the big mines, declined to dis Cuss the matter of copper exports for obvious reasons" but it is expected that the outflow of the metal from leading ports during the early months of the coming year will break all rec OrGS
