POPULAR LECTURE,

Asia is the worlds largest continent and contains about one third of the whole of the dry land of the globe. The races formerly occupying the plains of Mesopotamia in Asia are those whose inscriptions and monu- ments supply the earliest definite rec
 ords of mankind. In Asia also the great and most influential religions of the world-Buddhism, Christianity and Mohemmedanism- had their origin. although European Christian fly retains but few Asiatic elements. Though by no means the largest, Japan is now the foremost Asiatic power and has made wonderful progress in civilization during the last 40 years, showing remarkable aptitude in as- similating the material civilization and to some extent the institutions of Flu rope. The mental constitution of the Asiatic is less easily changed than his institutions, which leads to specula- tion as to the ultimate effect of the recent changes which have of late years taken place in Asia The life of the people must indeed be changed thereby, but it is question whether the characteristics, the personality. of the races will be changed also. Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard, Americas greatest historian, will lec- ture tonight in Slater hall on Asia in World Affairs. Professor Hart's grasp of the historical significance of the determining factors in world develop nlent promises a most Illuminating discussion of this suggestive subject.

THE OLD CEDAR CHEST.

What treasures 1t held we only had guessed, Til one day twas opened-the old cedar chest There were queer carved chains and quaint beads of gold And Broche shawls, fringe5 we knew not how old. There were ivory chessmen, and sea shells that sung The song Of the waves by which they'd been flung To lie on the shore until they found Among the old treasures hid in the chest. There were knives with strange han dies .concealing keen blades Unseen in the covers So cra6tily made: And one. when sprung outward, still held 3 dark stain Some hidden deed hinting; long, long it had lain. There were w!thered sea mosses and tiny cupped bells That tinkled sweetiy as water that wells From fountain or spring and eddies in play,
 Sun kissed, shadow swept, breeze blessed on the way. Silver trimmed it had stood there. the old chest. alone, But now all its memories dreamward were thrown, And vaguely the pictures took shape. and again The long years showed phantoms of pleasure or pain.

What the management consider one of the finest vaudeville shows or the season will be seen at the Davis Mon day, Tuesday and "Wednesday this week. Every act is a headliner and any one of the three could be fea- tured First there is Dinkins, Wild and Everett in an original blackface oddity called How It Happened, a nov city minstrel first part rehearsal, with singing, dancing, yodeling, talking and some fine harmony numbers that will please the most exacting vaudeville fan. They carry three special drops, depicting a livery stable, and the re- hearsal takes place there. Another big Keith act is Julia Curtis, the highest salaried single act that has ever ap- peared at this theatre. She is billed as the girl with many voices, and she will be a big surprise to every one. The third act is the Three Bounding Gordons, and judging from the reports that have been received from other managers on this circuit this act will cause more talk than anything ever seen in this theatre. They have an athletic novelty and to say they are wonderful is not doing the act justice. For a three-act combination this show cannot be equalled anywhere for the money.
 In the photoplays the Triangle fea- ture is William $. Hart in The Dawn Maker. a five part Ince production. MT. Hart in this picture plays the role of a quarter breed Cree, who offers him. self in sacrifice that a white girl and q man may go on together. It is the most sympathetic role ever essayed by this favorite actor and contributes an- other triumph to his long list of sue cesses. The Dawn Maker tells a big virile story of the great northwest, a story that will appeal to every patron of this playhouse. For real thrills and genuine action this is the picture to see To complete the show there is a two reel Keystone comedy called His Busted Trust, featuring Slim Sum Inerville. the long, lean, lanky Keystone funmaker.
 Matinee today at 2.15; all seats 10 cents. Evening at 6.45 and S.45; 10, | 15 and 20 cents. Don't fail to see this show

Barry more, who developed his great talents since coming into Metro pictures has been called the greatest of the great Barrymore Drew family and there is much to justify the claim In A Yel- low Streak MT. Barrymore gives the public the most exquisite piece of act ing ever seen on a motion picture screen. He has a role that few art ists could handle, as it calls for the widest versatility, ranging from dra- matic moments to delightful comedy scenes. He has never been seen to better advantage than in 4 Yellow Streak.
 Irene Howley, the beautiful and vii vacious little actress, is co-star with Mir. Barrymore in this production and in the role of Mary Austin Miss How ley is seen at her best.
 A Yellow Streak, aside from being stirring story of mystery and thrills, has many novelties.

She is finally rescued, the tale making a rather pretty and thrilling picture. Ford Sterling will also appear on the same program in a comedy called His Lying Heart" Tuesday and Wednesday Wilfred Lucas will be at the Arizona in Hell to Pay Austin, , a regular western play, carrying a punch and moral. In addition to this will be shown a comedy entitled The Winning Punch" For the close of the week. the Arizona has arranged to bring Ethel Clayton and Holbrook Blinn in Husband and Wife" a strong drama = tic play written by Charles Kenyon, one of the best known of the younger gen.
