Children'S Day Has
Become Reality In
T7vo ThedterS In
Ne1v York City
By GARDNER MACK.

The children's day in the theater
with programs to suit the wants of
children-has become thing of fact.
Washington. where tho scheme was
first developed. is not to be the
scene of the first Of these insttu-
tions, however. New York is the
lace where the idea has been taken
up and pushed through to practical
completion. New York is to have
two theatcrs that on one day will
show programs designed entirely for
children. In the current issue of
The Moving Picture World there is
an extended desci iption of the way
in which the idea Is 10 be worked
ont. The writer states. among other
things:
1T has been discovered that the
american child at least Is not going
ing but. the purely educational film.
1t has been learned that they adore
Charlie Chaplin and his competitors
none of whom is always to be re-
lied upon 10 do exactly the proper
thing: and 1t has therefore been
found necessary 20 sprinkle the chill
dren's program. with goodly amount
OF comedy, when the clean sort Is
available. and other pictures with
wholesome human interest plots. or
harmless tllCS or adventure. "lC.
Not until now has any distinct
move been made to formulate a CO.
operative plan wherein exhibitors,
manufacturers. and exchanges may
reap a financial benefit from the pro-
visions of the Once-a-week childrens
program. During the past few weeks
a couple Of cnterprsing women have
been busy on Just such q plan. AS
a result Of their efforts the Bunny
Theater at Broadway and li5th
street, and the Riverside Theater at
broadway and 96th street. and pos
sibly other neighborhood theaters
throughout the CITY will give Sc
lected program for children each
6aturdav morning from 10 to Il.
commencing on Ercoln's birthday.
"Ccmpetent chaperons will be pro
vided at these performances. one to
every fifty children. The move ~
theaters responding to the call will
be taxed to capacity. Ii. Nj.

The most careful production the Fa-
NOUS Players company has made in
many months is what one critic has
called THE White Pearl" in which
Marie Doro is presented at the Leader

Of the star and the cast.

GUARD YOUR FAMILY

Peruna protects the family
against coughs, colds. catarrh,
bronchitis, catarrh of the stom-
ach, liver and kidneys. 1t is just
as sure to relieve case of ca
tarrh of the bowels as it is case
of catarrh of the head.
Anyone suffering from catarrh,
severe or mild, acute or chronic,
in any organ or part of the hu.
man body. should at once get a
bottle of Peruna.
As soon as the value of Peruna
if fully appreciated in every
household, both as a preventive
and a relief from catarrhal af-
fections, tens of thousands of
lives will be saved and hundreds
of thousands of chronic lingering
cases will be prevented. Peruna.
indeed, is a household safeguard.
A course of Peruna never fails
to bring relief in such cases,
since there is no remedy like it,
as thousands of people have tes-
tilted.
Peruna Tablets are now available in
convenient tins Easy to take.

Wool Season Opens.

The new wool season is getting un-
der way in the Yakima country. where
shearing has started. The few sales
already made, which range in price up
to 27 cents, are in line with quotations
elsewhere for this class Of wool.
Shearing will not begin in Eastern
Oregon until about the middle of next
month, and in the meantime it is not
thought that much business can be put
through, as buyers and sellers are
apart in most sections. Isidor Kosh-
land, of Portland, has contracted for
so. 900 feeces in Baker county at 20 to
81 cents, and also secured 10, 900
fieeces at Condor. This and the Stan
field sale already reported is the ex-
tent of the business done in Oregon to
date. There has not been as much
contracting to date in Western Idaho.
The London market continues irreg-
ular, and for this reason the feeling in
the trade is still rather nervous.
Fine reports are received from the
first Landings east Of the mountains,
there being practically no loss.
More than 80 per cent of the wool
clip of Utah has been contracted by
buyers from Eastern houses and prices
paid for II, 200, 900 pounds under con-
tract range from FL to % cents, ac-
cording to DR.. S. w. Mcclure, secre-
