AT THE DAVIS THEATRE
katinka.

Katinka, written before the great European war, with adventures kl Russia, Turkey and Austria, now at bayonet points, drew a very large house at the Davis theatre Wednesday night and from the applause received the company made hit.
 The semi-royal palace scene in Russia, where the wedding festivities transpired and the picturesque Orien- tai street of Old Stamboul, the gay musical resort in Vienna. mingled with laughter, gayety and song could not be improved upon. Rackety Coo, sung by Margaret Owen as Katinka and John Roberts as Ivan won high favor.
 The play centered around Phil By ley as Thaddeus Hopper. the Ameri- can, and Mae Phelps. his wife, who in the style characteristic of Ameri- cans kept the audience at high pitch while Eddie Lambert as Herr Knopf, small in stature, furnished laughter in plenty
 The Russian and Circassian dances given by Fillmore Vincent and Nicho- las Kovas were out of the ordinary and were well received. T Want to Marry a Male Quartette," by Mrs. Hopper and a quartette was one of the feature numbers. ''Katinka," by Ivan and a male chorus, full of har- mony. was well received by the au- dience
 Katinka was a little Russian maiden with a heart of her own but with a hand not at her disposal. It was for the latter reason that she was forced into disagreeable marriage with the elderly Boris, while her heart yearned for the handsome young Ivan. Ivan saw no reason to bow to fate because katinl1a did With the assistance of a wiGe-awake American friend, he did a little amatur detective work that led to the discovery that Boris already had one wife. who had sought refuge in a Turkish harem to escape from her hated husband Overjoyed at his disobvery, they kidnapped Katinka while the wedding festivities were at their height, and the three set out fo1 Turkey to discover the whereabouts o1 the first Mrs. Boris. Katinka, to aid their plans the better, was passed of as Mrs. Hopper. Matters were moving swimmingly in Old Stamboul when the real Mrs. Hopper put in an un- expected appearance. Before the awk- ward situation could be cleared up t was discovered that Mrs. Boris Num- Der One had gone to Vienna, and the entire party consequently adjourned to that city. There, in the capital o1 European waltHing gaety, all shadows were dispelled and everybody made happy.

San Felice Cigars FIVE CENTS STRAIGHT
AND WORTH IT!

Owing to the greatly increased cost cf quality tobaccos, in fact everything pertaining to high grade cigars, the makers of the San Felice cigar, The Deisel- Wemmer Company, have ad- vanced the selling price to the Job bers and Dealers, and henceforth this cigar will positively be sold to the consumer at 5 cents straight instead of six for a quarter as previously.
 The SAN FELICE is national in it's scope and character, having justly at tained this eminence through it's un- excelled excellence. To maintain this unequaled standard of quality, the ad- vance in question is absolutely una voidable. The generous support of all men using quality cigars is earnestly desired.
