 Bes wishes to all for a bright and happy New Year.

 TO TALK OF TRIPS Howard Palmer to Entertain Under Historical Society Auspices on Feb runarX &

Norwich citizens are looking for
 ward with interest to the evening of Nov. 29. wheE Howard Palmer. F. R. G. S.. is to deliver an address in Slater hall upon the climbs and explanations among the Selkirk mountains-a little known range of the Canadian Alps of British Columbia.
 The scenery in this region is re- nowned for it's wild grandeur, resemb- ling Switzerland, it's magnificent gla- ciers and towering rugged peaks. The lecturer will exhibit and describe a
 larc number of lantern views show ing these features as we'll as the varied incidents of travel, camping and climbing which occurred in the course of his extensive Journeys.
 Mir. Palmer and his companions, Profs. E. w D. Holway and Frederic K. Buffers of the University of Min nesota. began their climbing simply as sportsmen but in the end climbed themselves into serious scientific ex- plorers. Their most noteworthy achievements were the exploration and mapping of over 300 square miles to Mt. Sir Sandford. 11.600 feet high, the loftest peak in the range, and the final conquest of the same by
 Messrs. Holway and Palmer in 1912. In the course of their travels they ascended more tkan 35 high noun ously been climbed. Naturally the story of these experiences is a thrill ling ne-particularly that of the suc-
 cessful climb of Mt. Sandford, which they had previously attacked without avail five times. This cam paign has been comparied' to the as- saults upon the famous Matterhorn of the Alps. On most of these jour- neys they were their own guides and packers.
 MT. Palmer is a fellow of the Royal Geographical society of London and secretary of the American Alpine club. He has embodied the results o1 ! his work in recently published VOL tune entitled, Mountaineering and Ex- ploration in the Selkirks.

NEXT WEEK AT THE AUDITORIUM

The management of the Auditorium has booked many fine shows since the start of the present season and on next Monday and Tuesday will add another There will be three excellent acts of vaudeville and a corking Paramount picture featuring the bewitching Mar guerite Clark in '"The Pretty Sister of Jose" The show will open on Mon day matinee with a single reel L-KO comedy entitled NO Flirting Allow ed," with Hank Mann and pretty Peg gy Pearce in the leading roles. This will be followed by the first vaudeville number which will be presented by Monahan and Dolly, a lady and gentle man who are experts on the roller skates. They carry their own special skating floor and introduce many novel stunts on the rollers. Next will come Ruth Goodwin, double voiced vocal ist who presents a very neat act, and following her, Edwards and Hardena, a colored team will be seen in a funny singing, talking and dancing speciality. This act will complete the vaudeville proramme and then last but not least will come the big Paramount produc- tion, Marguerite Clark in "The Pretty
 Sister of Jose" by Francis Hodson
 Burnett, and Maude Adams former starring vehicle.
 The title role of this subject has
 been so constructed as to exhibit to
 the fullest extent Miss C1ark's many capabilities. It is that of a peasant
 girl full of life and buoyance. instinct
 with hearty Spanish pride and throb-
 ping with the power of love, who
 comes for the first time to live amid
 the splendors and delights of Madrid.
 She has seen her mothers wifely de-
 votion scorned by cruel husband,
 and she has resolved that her heart
 shall never own a lord. But there is
 Sebastiano, the matador, hero of the
 arena. whom all the women of
 Madrid love with an adror unknown to
 Pepita. She witnesses the sad fate of
 one, Sarita, who dies because of her hopeless adoration of him. and Pepita's fear of love already strong in intensi- fled in her heart. But Sebastiano, who has never before really loved, and who has been all tenderness and solicitiude for the humble Sarita. sees Pepita and falls mEd1y in love with her. Then be- gins the struggle. Pepita loves him in return, and as her love grows the ter
 TOT of it also grows. Day after day
 she holds the splendid matador at bay.
 At last, his just pride revolts at what seems mere heartlessness. and he
 leaves to go to a far city. Pepita is
 humbled by her long agony. Then, at the bullffght arena in the distant city, to which Pepita finally goes for a sight of him he becomes unnerved at the sudden and unexpected confronta- ton with the girl he loves, makes a false move in his fight with the bull, and is wounded almost to death. It is 1 only as he lies between life and eterni- | ty that Pepita is conquered, and with her declaration of love calls him back l to life.

to Norwich. having been seen here several times at the Burns banquet at the Wauregan house this act is easily the finest act of it's kind in vaudeville and no one should miss hearing them. There are eight people, five women and three men, and they carry all their own special scenery.
 The feature photoplay for Monday and Tuesday is The Juggernaut, Vit- agraph five part blue ribbon feature with Earl Williams and Anita Stewart Everything We would say about the story of The Juggernaut is so pale and poor and thin compared to the tremendous climax Of this, the Colos : sus of railway drama-that we shall give only an outline of the plot.
 Two young men-one the brilliant son of poor parents-the other the dis solute heir of a great railway king, become friends at college.
 One thinks he has accidentally kill ed a drunken rowdy in saving the others life--they two only know this secret
 Both fall in love with the same girl-who marries the rich boy only after his chum has withdrawn from the race because of his poverty
 Years later one becomes president of his fathers old railroad-the other righteous, fearless district attorney. Both again worship @the same girl
 
 both-one with fathers deep affec- tion; the other because she is her mothers counterpart.
 The district attorney bitterly attacks the railroad in the courts. His former chum threatens to expose him as a murerer
 And now-imagine the girl on d train approaching bridge which can- not possibly stand it's weight. Both men know this. Both are rushing madly by automobile and motor boat to intercept it.
 You see all this See the girls sweet face at the window of the flying traiI, feel the swaying of the automobile as 1t skids desperately around sharp turns-and the bounding of the motor boat .slashing through rough waters.
 Both men and the train come crash ing into the picture at the same in- stant-too latei
 For a moment that seems an eter- nity, you feel yourself sitting almost under the totterinug trestle as the enormous engine-a mass of whirlins steel--leaps laundering and quivering into the empty air and falls shrieking to the swirling river
 The big coaches crumple like card board before your eyes and pile them selves up on the wreck-their passen gers fioundering and struggling in the debris
 Again you see the girl-again her father-again the man.
 The car of Juggernaut rolls on
 But who are the victims?
 Come and see this tremendous spec tacle.
