Trouble came in form of sever

the authorities that he was an
American citizen and not subject
to military service. Those who

MUTUAL THEATRE
SUNDAY NIGHT

"The Old Curiosity Shop"
The story Of Little Nell, the gen
the lovable inmate of the Curiosity
Shop, and her grandfather is one
of the most sad and tender tales
in fiction. The old mans mania
for gambling and the consequent
foreclosure. by the malicious
dwarf, Quilip, causes them to be
driven from home to a wandering
life in which they experience
many hardships. They are be-
friended on the way by the kind
schoolmaster, Mr.. Marion, and
later receive succor and work at
Mrs. Jarley's wax works, where
the dormant passion for gambling
suddenly arises in the old man
and they are compelled to set out
once more. Finally, as result
of her past trials, the health OF
Little Nell fails and she passes
away, soon to be followed by her
grandfather, after he has become
reconciled to his brother who sets
out to revenge himself on Quilp.
