AT THE AUDITORIUM.

The management of the Auditorium has booked for this week a gala ho1i- day offering in The Big Review, big musical comedy with Harry Le Van and a company of 25 people, including a big beauty chorus. "An avalanche of fun" is what the critics say of this show, and with MT. Le Van in the cast it could hardly be otherwise. There is a beautiful set of scenery carried for the show the first three days of the week, and many beautiful costumes are worn by the chorus. The Big Re- view was secured especially for this week on account of the holiday, when large crowds always patronize the the tares, and the management of the Au- ditorium wanted to get show that would be bound to please. There will be the Usual three shows daily and a few seats will be reserved at the after noon performance today, which will start at 2.30 sharp. A full carload of special scenery, electrical effects, wardrobe, etc., is carried by this big company.
 On the picture programme for Mon day and Tuesday will be The Blood of His Brother, 8 two-reel Bison mining drama, depicting desperate battle between cowboys, miners and Indians when train travelling 60 miles an hour runs down the Indians. Marie Wal camp and Wellington Playter play the leading roles. Mary Fuller and Matt Moore will be seen in a corking good comedy reel entitled The Rustic of a Skirt.

COLONIAL THEATRE.
Woman and Wine, Five Acts, Most
 Spectacular Film Ever Offered.

Not since the mammoth success of the Colonial theatre entitled The Last Days of Pompeii has there been shown In this city film on the par with or yet rivaling the one big masterpiece of hhe Shubert, Frohman, Charles K. Harris Amusement company for today, entitled Woman and Wine. No ex- pense has been spared to make this pne of the most beautiful motion pie lures of the day. Extreme extrava- Eance Is outdone in this wonderful film and the scenes of oriental eplendor and modern magnificence cannot be equalled. The story deals with the tall of a man through the sinister in- Huence of a woman, yet no story more gripping or with a stronger moral has kver been filmed. William Elliot is the leading man and this is the same suc- cess that packed the New York Hippo irome to the doors for weeks recent E. The settings are beyond descrip- hon in their superlative beauty and grandeur. while every scene is a pho- lographic work of art. All of the tricks Sf the motion picture photographer are brought into play in the way of vis- ons, fade-aways and many others provide captivating results in the way Ii e1traucing scenes that scindllate

The Plainest Girl
 Can Be Good-Looking

There is economy in good looks. It pays every girl to be good looking and every woman owes it to herself to be as attractive as possible.
 It is unfortunate that all women are not born beautiful, but nearly all can acquire good looks. The plain girl not only must use care in the selection of her clothes, but give especial attention to her hair-thin, wispy, dull and faded locks will des- troy half the beauty of even pretty face.
 If your hair is not beautiful. lack ing that enviable softness, lustre and fiuffiness, or is falling out, full of dan- druff, too dry, by all means use Partisan Sage, an inexpensive liquid tonic. easily obtained at any drug counter or from Lee and Osgood. Simply rub Parisian Sage we'll into the scalp. It will go right to the hair roots, nourish them, and stimulate the hair to grow strong and luxuri- ant. It removes all dandruff, thor oughly cleanses the hair of dust and excess oil, and makes it appear twice as abundant.
 Parisian Sage is scientific tonic that gives the hair just what is need ed to make it fluffy, soft and glori- ously radiant; and pretty hair will surely increase the charm and beauty of even the plainest girl.

GOD BLESS YOU.

MESSAGE FROM HOME.

 With travel-stained feet Stands the lonesome youth One hour long
 In the library booth, Bending, hom esick, All the while Over a blessed
 Newspaper file. Homely old paper, Looks to me; BanaI and trite.
 It seems to be; But watch his eyes scan iS Up and down, Blessed old paper From the blessed home town. Type Is shabby,
 The ink is poor. Has a colored supplement- For a lure; Gives advice to girls And hints on dress, Steers new married couples To happiness; Yet In the trite sheet A vista lies Of the Somewhere Else To those homesick eyes Of the Somewhere Else Y With its memories sweet To the lonesome youth With the travel-stained feet.
