SELL THE
CITY STEAM LAUNDRY

Last week when the Republican
went to press G. II. Stocking was ne
gotiating for the sale of his laundry.
The deal was finally closed this morn
ing and the new owners went to work
at once to remove the machinery from
the old building to the brick building
opposite this office.
The new owners are Otto Thomson
and Frank Mumaugh, of Omaha.
They come here well recommended,
and will. no doubt. give the people of
Audubon the service to which they
are entitled. They inform us that they
are going to make the laundry as
modern as possible and that hereafter
the place will be known as the Model
Steam Laundry.
In order to make the necessary inn
provements and to get the building in
the best possible condition, the new
owners will not be able TO give the
public service until about the first of
March. At that time they are going
after business right from the shoulder
and Audubon may reasonably expect
something special in the way of laun-
dry service. We extend the glad hand
of fellowship to the new proprietors
and trust they will meet with the sue
cess they anticipate:

LAST Days of Pompe the Gem Theatre Wednesday February 23
BIG CROWDS AT THE GEM

The Gem Theatre was a veritable
bee hive of industry all of Saturday
afternoon and evening. The special
attraction that manager Hoover was
presenting at the matinee and the ev-
ening performance was the special
six part feature "a Fool There Was"
an adaptation from Kipling's famous
poem 1.-THE Vampire"
Edward Jose, former leading man
with Sarah Bernhard, portrayed in
mastery manner the Fool" who
forsakes family and friends for a
soulless, sensual creature in the guise
of beautiful woman.
Theda Bara played the role of the
Vampire" one of the most fascinat-
ing, though revolving female charac-
ters ever created. Her Interpretation
was remarkable for intense dramatic
realism, while her wonderfully seduc-
tive beauty served to enhance the IL
fusion created by her art.
Both the matinee and the three
performances in the evening were
well attended and all those who at
tended were. loud in their praise for
the special feature that Mr. Hoover
had been fortunate enough in secur-
ing for Audubon. He contemplates
presenting some special feature of the
same quality on Wednesday evening
of each week and he asks the readers
to watch the Republican for more
definite and further announcements.
