The little Stars twinkle Fairy Moon gleam.

A-holdng the train of sweet Venus, and Mars;
The Big Yellow Dipper with handle long;
The Dog Star Northern Lights glowing strong;
The queer old Moon; great Milky Way;
All these my dears. in the sky at play

What appears to be a new era in
Rundown is the showing at the Isis
today of Sir Gilbert Parker's 'HThe
Right of Way"
William Faversham, heretofore not
seen in moving pictures, makes his
debut to the movie public in this pro-
duction in the role of Chas. Steel.
''The Right of Way" is, perhaps, the
biggest and most costly production
yet shown at the Isis and in point of
elaborateness compares favorably
with 1.-THE Spoilers" by Rex Beach,
conceded to be the greatest picture
ever attempted.
Tony Klumker, styled by Manager
Jones of the Isis as "Pensacola's
own" made his appearance last night
at this popular play house and the
S. R. o. sign was in evidence very
early in the evening. It made tears
run down Tony's "corked" cheeks and
lump jump into his throat when he
gazed on the tremendous throng Of
his own home folks who turned out
to pay him homage over the foot
lights. It was a glorious night for
Tony, one that he will not forget in
years to come. He appears today and
tonight at the Isis in an entire change
of program. The manner in which he
was greeted last night would make
