At THE VICTORIA.

The large crowds attending the
Victoria performances again yester-
day attested 20 the popularity OF the
Gold Rooster wonder play. THE
Light That Fhiled,' Kipling's first
work TO be shown in picturize1 form.
Robert Edeson. the star OF the pro-
duction, makes a wonderfully fine
impress on as Dick Heldar the un-
fortunate hero OF this gripping
drama. Nothing like the realism
shown by Mr.. Edeson during the tense
scenes, when as the artist he loses
his sight has been seen in a long
time. Miss Collins won a triumph
in this picture that will bring her
fame. Lillian Tucker as MAIZE is
very sweet and effective The d.
rection by Edward Joss deserves
only the highest praise. the uncon-
vcntional Bohemian air permeating
the various studio scenes, and the
picturesque effects shown IN the
Soudan region being especially note
worthy Charlie Chaplin in BE
hind the Screen" kept the audience
in laughter. Both these productions
are ia be seen st the Victoria the

The Houltons are royal hosts.
Everything was done to make the

dinner was not only delightfully."- pre-

bungalow dining room. the convent
ence of it's appointments and the har-

and architectural designs, in keeping
with the local resources of nature in
timber and other products, made the
meal wonderful example OF how the
ingenuity of man may bring the luxu-
ries of civilization and culture to the
home on the farm as we'll as into
the mansion of the metropolis. And
then the studious attention to service
made it impossible that guests should
miss being served with any of the
delightful, things that were so bOun-

Mr.. Gallagher has also entered in
to competition with the New Orleans

q considerable amount of trade from
that city to Covington. His laun-
dry has advantage OF an unlimited
supply Of the purest artesian water,
while the New Orleans laundries re-
ceiye their water through meter,
the cost running up with the amount
of water used. The New Method
Laundry of Covington may use as
much water as it wishes without ex-
ira cost, and the frequent change OF
water thereby made inexpensive gives
