COLONIAL THEATRE.
Mabel Taiiaferro Appearing in The
 Three of us, Five Reel Drama.

A
 Americas most charming dramatic star. Mabel Taliaferro, the heroine of many of New York's most brilliant successes on Broadway, will appear to- day at the Colonial theatre in the DOW erfui drama of the west entitled The Three of Us. This spectacle is in five parts and is a close adaptation of the great play of the same name which toured the world with great success for many years. It tells of young girl of a mining town whose mines have been unsuccessful and of her two brothers and her lover, Steve, the for mer superintendent of her fathers mine. A newcomer in the village at tracts Rhy, the miners daughter and she forgets her old lover for a while until he suddenly discovers evidences of valuable ore in the old mine adjoin- Ing Rhy's. He rushes to her, telling Ehis. and she asks him to leave the specimens with her over night and she will consider her answer as to whether she will marry Steve or the newcomer. During the night one of the girls brothers tells the secret to the new conner. who in reality is mining ex- pert and he bribes the boy to steal the specimens. and this deed is charged by Steve to his former sweetheart. How Rhy saves the mine and proves her loyalty Is shown in five thousand feet sf thrilling and dramatic film. Some difficult riding by Miss Taliaferro fol- ows. and a chase over the side of the mountain also. A tremendous explo- gion for the breaking of ground for a ifneIter for the two mines ends the picture.
