Buffalo Bill-1O1 Ranch Shows.

The combined Buffalo Bill and 101
Ranch shows will exhibit in Washing
ton Monday and Tuesday, May 90
and 30.
The big feature of the shows this
season is a new military spectacle en-
titled Preparedness" It Is described
as most effective plea for the Amer
lean people to arouse to the necessity
for being prepared for all contingen-
cies in case of unwarranted attack. 1t
Is said to come with the sanction of
the government. and the soldiers who
participate in 1t have been given fur
louKhs for the purpose by the United
States War Department. 1t is this
genuineness that gives the display one
or Its CHIEF charms, although from a
purely spectacular STANDPOINT the exhi-
bitfon leaves nothing to the magma
ton.
The various departments of the serv-
Ice are represented, with troops of cav
airy, mounted infantry, artillery, the
Red Cross. the commissary service and
other departments of the army, and
they are utilized in presenting what is
declared to be the most strenuous and
exhilarating series of military maneu-
vers ever seen in the United States.
The life of the soldier in camp and on
the march: the handling Of the field
and rapid-f1re guns in action; the
Whir1wind charges of the cavalry, are
ali SHOWN. Pictorfally as well as from
the standpoint of strenuous action the
exhibition Is said to be unrivaled
Col. William F. Cody Buffalo BID
will actively participate in the big
military spectacle. He was formerly
chief of scouts of the United States
Army. He will also lead band Of from
tier notables in the big Indian battle
which constitutes one OF the sensa-
tional features of the exhibition. Incl
dentally the life Of the far west, with
the sports and pastimes as we'll as the
dangers and adventures Of life on the
plains and in the mountains of the
Great Divide. will be shown on a scale
dwarf1ng previous exhibitions.
-Four performances are scheduled for
THIS city, at 2:15. and 8:15 pm. daily.
Doors will be open an hour earlier to
AFFORD view of the Indian and mill
tary camp.
All the regular army soldiers will
participate in the spectacular free
street parade that takes place at 1870
am. on the opening day

Belasco Helps Walker Benefit.

The evening of June special per-
Torrance will be given at Polls Thea
ter, under the direction of A. H Van
Buren,, of Madame Butterfly" for the
benefit of Six Walker. the Poll stage
hand who was crippled for life while
handling scenery in stock plays about
three years ago.
The use of Madame Butterfly" has
been made possible through the gen
crosby of David Belasco, who became
SO interested in the unfortunate Grip
pie and Mr.. Van Buren's effort to as
sist him, that he not only agreed TO the
loan Of his play for the benefit of the
unfortunate man, but volunteered his
New York production of the piece, just
as it was presented in the metropolis
when originally offered. with Blanche
Bates in the title role.
Mr. Van Buren, is already at work
upon rehearsals, and Mr. Belasco Will
ship his production of the pathetic
Japanese story, with scenery and cos
tunes intact, at his personal expense,
in time for the forthcoming presenta-
ton here.
Dorothy Bernard will be seen in the
title role, which she played for six
week engagement under the direction
of Fred Belasco in Los Angeles seven
or eight years ago. following Blanche
Bates in the famous part, ana winning
in her characterization signal success
Miss Demands assistance in the benefit
comes through the generosity of Will
liam Fox, who is also '1oaning" her
for rehearsals of Madame Butterfly
1t is three years since a weak brace
was responsible for the accident which
left Six Walker a lifelong cripple and
his family helpless. During this time
Mr.. Van Buren, has directed two bene-
fits in Walkers behalf, but never one
which gave promise of SO distinguished
possibilities as that of Mr.. Belascos
production by Miss Bernard. Mr.. Van
Buren, and a notable supporting cast.

Casino.

Charlie Chaplin pictured in two
photo productions will be the attrac-
tons today and all week at the Casino.
1.-The Floorwalker" from the Essanay
studio and Police" are by coincidence
released concurrently. The former
owes it's origin. it is said, to certain
ideas suggested to Chaplin while shop
ping in a New York department store
shortly before the signing of the now
famous $650,000 contract. AS floor
walker he meets with series of mis-
haps in his endeavor to find shoplifters.
Police" strikes a new vein in Chap
Inns humor. He is pictured first as a
convict whose time has just expired.
He is robbed of the money allowance
given by the state and becomes a con-
federate of a burglar. They enter a
home. but he is of little assistance to
his pal, for he confines his thievery to
the icebox. Many highly humorous
scenes are introduced before he repents
OF his evil. ways and reforms. The first
local showing of the animated cartoons
by "Rube' Goldberg will be given also
in connection with the Chaplin photo
plays.

Birth Of a Nation"

With the announcement last Sunday
that the engagement of The Birth of
a Nation" would close at the New Ma
tional Theater with the fifth week of
it's engagement, ending May 20, came a
demand for seats which has become so
great that the management will ex-
tend the engagement one week longer.
Consequently the attraction will remain
another week. terminating positively
Saturday. May 81. Fourteen exhi-
billions will be given. making a total
during the entire engagement of
eighty-one. THE Birth of Nation" it
is announced, will not been seen in this
city again before next year.
After preliminary views developing
a charming love story in the South
Carolina town of Piedmont, the spec
tator in this great photoplay suddenly
finds himself In the midst of the most
remarkable battle scenes ever staged
for exhibition. 1t is war itself Sher-
sea. Atlanta is captured and burned
and the final battle scenes show des-
perate struggles In the opposing
tfencnes, WIN tne vast sweep OF in
fantry taking line after line of in
trenchments until the attacking forces
are finally decimated as the Little
