AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Nedra, by George Barr McCutcheon, Five Reel Feature, Today and Thurs day,

A fine five reel feature photoplay presented by the Pathe company de- picting the great novel Nedra, by George Barr McCutcheon, will be the big picture at the Auditorium today and tomorrow, md from all advance reports it will be one of the finest photoplays ever presented at this house and a sensational drama long to be remembered. It is one of the ia nous Pathe Gold Rooster plays which have come into such prominence in the motion picture world of late, and is a photoplay masterpiece from beginning to end. The comedy picture for today and tomorrow is entitled When Cider vile Went Dry, and is also by the Pathe company.
 On the vaudeville programme for today only will be the Aerial McGin- leys, who do a very sensational act in mfd-air; Jack and Buddy White, in a very classy singing, dancing and piano speciality, and Eddie Badger who pre- sents a comedy musical offering which is very original and brim full of con- edy stunts.
 On Friday and Saturday of this week Blanche Sweet will be seen in the Lasky-Paramount production of The Secret Sin, thrilling drama by the noted drainatist, Margaret TurnbuII Coming soon for a three days run is the mammoth Paramount produc- tion, Geraldine Farrar in Carmen.

COLONIAL THEATRE.

? The Victory of Virtue, the big five reel feature for today, deals with Penelope Brantford, who is the only daughter of a wealthy farmer. and was left motherless at an early age. The idol of a devoted fathers heart, she is at the time we make her acquaintance 8 very unsophisticated young lady who has been shielded from contact with the world and is iIl-pre- pared to cope not with society in it's entirety but with individuals of certain lncEnatIons always to be found there.
 Chance or fate, call it what you will it might be called Cupid-brings Penelope and Grier together. Penelope, impressionable as she is, falls in love. Grier, conscious of his conquest and eager for such a quarry, presses his at tentions. Delightful drives through the capital city, beautiful flowers sent daily, an evening spent together at the army and navy ball held at the White House, together with all the little att tentions dear to any woman's heart, are among the effective means used by Grier to increase the first love fires ever kindled in Penelope's young heart. Then comes the Bohemian dinner held at Grier's apartments, which Penelope attends without the knowledge or sanction of her father This dinner is marked by wit, beauty, good wine and subdUed excitement-and is the climax of Grier's artfuI designs.
 The lesson that this play teaches is as old as the hills, as profound as na- ture itself. Right wins because that is the nature of right; pain and suf- fering must be gone through that we may properly appreciate victory. Vic tory is always sweet, but it is far sweeter when gained for such a cause as virtue.
 The Brute, a Lubin drama, and Booming Trixie, comedy, fill the bill. Coming tomorrow, The Game of Three, in five parts, with Barney Gilmore and all star cast. Matinee every day at 2.3O sharp; evenings 1880.

skilled detectives. 1t puzzles the spec tators and keeps them keyed up with excitement and wonder until the end of the photoplay. The grim finger of suspicion points at five persons; you are sure tt is one, then another who has committed the crime. Then comes the great denouement, revealing the real slayer. This is a powerful mys- tery play, intensely fascinating and Interesting, that will keep you en- thralled until the finish of the five big reels are shown. There is also a fun ny two reel Keystone comedy on this bill and one that will keep you laugh ing for a half hour. Today will be the last chance to see the excellent vaudeville show that has been draw ing big houses the past two days. Heading the bill is Elkins, Fay and Elkins, the merry minstrel trio, who have a novel and pretty offering, in troducing singing, dancing and finish ing with a lively number using bones, tambourine and piano. This is an act you do not want to miss. Another good number is Wilbur and Harrington, who do a singing and jumping novelty that is entirely out of the ordinary Both of the above acts have their own special settings, which helps to make tho acts distinct and pleasing. The third act is Edgar Berger, who is easily one of the finest hand balancers ever seen here. There will be a new vaudeville show tomorrow

GERMANY LAYING MINE
 FIELD IN BALTIC SEA.
Three Miles Off Coast of Southern Ex.
 tremity of Sweden.

Stockholm, Sweden, Feb. 29. - Via London, 7.55 p. m.-Germany has now taken her long expected action in lay ing mine field around the FaIsterbo penisular, near the southern extrim- ity of Sweden on the Baltic scarcely three miles off shore. As the passage left IS very shallow, nowhere deeper than Is feet, most merchant ships are obliged to steam outside the mine field into international waters where Ger man cruisers are on patrol.
 The new mine field is intended to prevent traffic in contraband along the Swedish coast to Finnish ports, but as the steamers used in this traffic draw little water, seldom over ten feet, the mine field has not affected them. All larger ships, however will be put under German surveillance and not even Sweden's navy will be able to sail from tEe North sea to the Baltic nor to reverse without German pilots
 It is understood that Sweden made ene1 1getic representations against the mine field being placed in this way and that Wilhelmstrasse was willing to drop the scheme if Sweden would agree to prohibit contraband traffic along her coast. As such a step, how ever, woG>,d present complications, as Danish and Norwegian ships are large ly employed in the traffic and as it was held that it would look like par tiality toward the central powers, Sweden, it was said refused.
 The Swedish steamer Knippla, which struck mine and was sunk yester- day was the first victim of the mine field. All on board here were saved, and there is great indignation among Swedes over the occurrence as no an nouncement whatecer was given and the mines were laid by night. Sev- 1~-l1 f-h escapes from striking mines in this field.
