PANTAGES.

The last stage success of Mabel
Taliaferro, before going into moving
pictures, was romantic tabloid, "A
Breath of Old Virginia" which was
said to be the best vehicle she ever
had. This striking little play, every
thing as it was produced with the
star, is coming to Pantages next week,
cast, scenic effect-everything except
that Miss Taliaferro is not leading the
company. In every other particular it
is the same, and Minneapolis people
will have an opportunity of seeing this
beautiful little war play, in which chiv-
airy is shown at it's height, when the
hero loses his arm, for love of the girl
who is the daughter of the enemy.
Another unusual offering, is a must
cal farce, in which the story and the
scenes have to do with moving pic
ture studio, and the places and set
tings where movies are made. Novel;
ties in this production include bur-
esques Of movie stars, Theda Bara,
Mrs. Vernon Castle, Mary Miles Min
ter, Leonore Ulrich, Jane Cowl and
others. For the Riddles and their
friends, there will be Paul Pedrini, and

MEMORIAL DAY At ST. MARY'S
CEMETERY,

On Memorial Day, Wednesday, May
80, special exercises appropriate to the
day will be conducted under the direc-
ton of Rev. L. P. Gleason, director of
the Catholic Orphanage.
The address of the day will be de-
livered by Rev. T. E. Cullen of the
Pro- Cathedral. A high mass of
requiem will be celebrated at the
cemetery at $3.50, after which will fol-
low the ceremonial of the blessings of
the graves of the soldiers. Delegations
OF veterans from the several posts of
the city will be in charge of the mill
tary features of the occasion. Several
musical organizations will participate
in the program, including the children
of the Catholic Orphanage, and mill
tary salute will be fired by squadron
of cadets from st. Thomas College.
Ample street car accommodations are
provided SO that there need be NO
fear Of excessive crowding. Father
Cullen's discourse will be of keen in
terest, in view of the nations partici-
patton in the worlds war and the en-
actment of the CONSUMPTION law soon
to be put in execution on such a
tremendous scale as was never before
contemplated.
Memorial Day of this year will be
made the occasion of patriotic and
religious demonstrations throughout
the country that will excel in fervor
and interest all past celebration of the
day. Never since the Civil war has
the attention of the country been so
aroused in all things military, past,
present and future. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say that the Catholic people
will participate with enthusiasm in
such demonstrations in honor of the
glories and sacrifices of the heroes of
the past, and strew with abundant
flowers the bivouacs of the dead.
