1T is the only condition upon which

johnson stared at the agent and
felt the blood dye his face. He had
not understood that Lord Clavering
was SO poor. though he knew that his
debts were heavy enough to eat up
the price Of the sale. He half regret
ted having been inclined to purchase.
1t Is one thing for . young Chicago
man Of seven and twenty to decide
to buy Scotch estate with the money
left by his Scotch father, always eager
to return to the land Of his ancestors,
and dying before the wish could be
realized. But 1t is another matter to
discover that the dream can be
achieved only by causing sorrow to
others.

One month later johnson came into
possession OF the castle. His fathers
acquired wealth enabled him to supply

position as the new lord Of the estate.
And It was singularly lonely life that
unveiled itself before him.
To begin with, he discovered that
the tenants regarded him as an in.
terloper. He had not anticipated that.
In his country, when one bought an
estate the goodwill of the neighbors
went with It as a matter of course
Then there was Lord Clavering at

With the dawning tomorrow there
appears in Pensacola one Of the big
gest surprises for the moving picture
public that has been handed them in
many months. You have evidently
noticed an advertisement in another
part OF this issue that has sprung the
surprise before you reached this coll
umn Of amusement "dope". Neverthe-
less you possibly want to know some
more regarding this important tran
saction, and 1t won't take long to tell
you. The management of the Bonita
and Bijou theatres, believing that the
picture show patrons of this city or
any other city for that matter can
not visit more than one picture show
In an evening. have gotten their heads
together and decided that to merge
into one large amusement company
meant more for themselves and much
better service for their patrons. In
stead of splitting the business up and
taking business from one another, and
at the same time depriving the pic
ture loving public of chance to see
two pictures In one theatre that they
otherwise had to visit two to see.

Seven Keys to Baidpate," the play
that Mr.. George NJ. Conan has built
| from the story Of the same name by
Earl Derr Biggers, and which Is to be
presented at the Opera House Satur-
day matinee and night, February 18th,

It is in two acts--that Is one kind
It Is original--that is the second kind
It is melodramatic-that is the third

Seven Keys to Baldpate" as play
is continually thrilling and continu-
ously laughable, and critics agree that
It is by far the most ingenious work
we have from the gifted pen OF the
genius of the American stage.
A brief scenario Of Seven Keys to
Bafdpate" would read something like
this:
A young novelist, who is a writer
of melodramattc twaddle, lays a wager
that he can turn out a 10000 word
story in twenty-four hours. For the
quiet that he requires for concen-
tration in order to carry out his her.

At the Biiou,

Al the Bijou.
Today the Bijou offers a program
that would cost you $3.50 were YOU TO
see 1t at the Vitagraph Theatre in
New York. or any other high class
theatre in the country. The only diff
ference is that you see the same pic
ture at the Bijou as you would see in
New York, and instead of $3.50 you
pay only popular prices and 10
cents, and although the theatre is not
as lavishly decorated and expensively
equipped, you will see the picture in
just as high class theatre as these
mentioned above. at least it is run on
just as high plane.
Manager Howell has left nothing
undone TO make his theatre the most
modernly equipped in the city, and
he has come pretty near meeting
with success in all of his efforts, that
is not meant to mean that he is sat
isfied with all that has been done, not
at all, he still solicits suggestions
from his patrons that will help to
better the environments OF the Bijou
in general.
Tomorrow Manager Howell is GO
ing to make something known to the
public that will cause great surprise,
that is. speaking from d theatrical
point Of view, so look for the Bijou
advertisements in the daily papers to-
morrow.
To get back to where we started

gram, 1t may be wise to remind you
that the Paramount features presen-
tation of Where The Trail Divides"
is made ten fold more OF feature by
the addition OF Robert Edison star
ring in the title role. Mr.. Edison was
featured in this play for two consecu-
tive seasons. and has been conceded
the honor OF having made that won

Mr.. Edison in this play on the legiti
mate stage (and some OF You evil

anywhere from $500 to $500. You
can see him in the same play at the
