ANNOUNCEMENTS
BREED I'll EATRE.

Today will be the last chance to see the big double feature bill which the Breed is presenting, composing of a five part Metro drama entitled A Million a Minute. with Francis x. Buehman and Beverly Bapne; and Charlie Chaplin in 8 two act come dy entitled Police. A Million a Min nance and intrigue. and in this drama MT. Bushnian and Miss Bayne are seen at their best.
 In Police. Charlie Chaplin is a posi- tive scream. The highest paid com- edian ip the world says this picture Is the funniest he has ever appeared in and when the man with the funny feet''goes through his series of funny adventures if you don't laugh until there isn't a laugh in you.
 The Stain in the Blood, is the title of the five reel feature which will be presented at the Breed Wednesday and Thursday. This picture is sure to invite the attention of the medical men. psychologists and laymen throughout the country. This produc- tion is important for various reasons, chief among them because it points out in a logical way that criminal tendencies as well as insanity and disease can be passed from one gener- ation to another. Many investiga- tions have been conducted along this line, but in many instances no definite conclusions have been reached. Rob- ert A. Dillon. author of The Stain in the Blood. has, however, treated the subject from a. new angle. in which he brings forth his beliefs in the ques- ton in such e thoroughly convincing manner that even the skeptical are bOund to be interested.
