Dustin Farnum is a big attraction es the Auditorium theatre today when he appears on the screen in William Fox's latest photoplay, Durand of the Bad Lands.

He rescues three children from Indians who massacre everyone else in the set t:ement- He falls In love with a girl who sees only the big, noble side of his character. And when he realizes his life is wrong, 1t is to these he goes and ever after he's as useful citizen as he was bad "bad man." It's fine picture. Don't miss it. The Mutual weekly and comedy complete the program.

Fl Fl THIS AFTERNOON

RehearsaIs Close-Seat Sale Openec With a Rush Thursday Morning.

The final rehearsals are being held for Fi Fi of the Toy Shop and every thing will be in readiness for the performances this afternoon and this evening.
 The local players act as though they had been trained for months and ev- erybody connected with it Is sure that it will be the greatest production ever presented by home talent in Norwich.
 There are many little finishing touches that must be given to a big production like this even after they know their parts. All awkward move nnents must be eliminated, groups must move about quickly and quietly, and delicate adjustment of dresses count a whole lot. This is all included in what MT. Adams calls the professional hn- ish. and these little attentions to de- tails are the very thing that distin Euishes his production fro mothers.
 Harrington Adams, who has been re- hearsing daily during the last two weeks, speaks very highly of the ma terial furnished him by the talent com mittee. The musical numbers of Fl Fl are sure to please all.
 There was a waiting line of 200 at the theatre on Thursday morning and the tickets went rapidly. There are, however, a number of good seats left yet for both afternoon and evening performances. A word to the wise: Get your seats early and avoid the last minute rush.
