BREED THEATRE
Winsome Viola Dana in New Metro Picture, Threads of Fate, Feature for Wednesday and Thursday.

Viola Dana, the fascinating and gifted young stage and screen star, will be seen at the Breed theatre on Wednesday and Thursday in Threads of Fate, a fve-part Metro wonderplay of beauty, romance and power. Miss Dana has proved a marvel since she began appearing in so many difficult roles in motion pictures but before her advent into them she was known from coast to coast for her remarka- ble performance in The Poor Little Rich Girl. which ran for more than two years on Broadway.
 In Threads of Fate Miss Dana has the strongest role of her entire career in a clean, tremendously interesting story which is perfect in its photo graphy.
 The Breed will also present the Me- tro travelogue and a very funny conn edy will complete the bill for Wednes- day and Thursday.
 Today's program consists of Fran ces Nelson in One of Many, a pow erful moral pantomime, and the four teenth chapter of The Great Secret.

 The public demand for novelty prompted the Universal Film com pany to test the possibility of mak- ing a photoplay Of Jules Verne's won derful under the sea stories Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and while there are many who predicted failure and said that it would be inn possible to present the actual scenes at the bottom of the ocean, with the assistance of the remarkable inven- tions of the Williamson Brothers one of the greatest screen productions ever attempted has been made and it is proving not only genuine novelty but a pleasing entertaining and in- structive photoplay that will become a classic.
 This fascinating feature will be pre- sented for the first time at popular prices at The Auditorium on We'd nesday and Thursday. Today is your last chance to see Stuart Holmes in The Scarlet Letter.

A FAIR WARNING
One That Should Be Needed by Dick
a $500 Do.Jo~k. - 5Es ESt

Frequently the first sign of kidney
trouble is slight ache or pain in
the loins. Neglect of this warning
makes the way easy for more serious
troubles-dropsy, gravel, Bright,s dis
ease. IT'S well to pay attention to
the first sign. Weak Kidneys gener-
ally grow weaker and delay is often
dangerous. Residents of this locality
place reliance in Doan's Kidney Pills.
This tested remedy has been used in
kidney trouble over SO years-is
recommended all over the civilized
world. Read the following:

GRINS AND GROANS

An exchange reports a joke on an
editor who went one evening to at
tend a party at a home recently
blessed with a new baby. He met his
hostess at the door, and after the
usual salutations he asked after the
.baby's health. The lady who was
grippe, thought he was asking after
her cold, answered that although she
usually had one every winter, this
was the worst one she ever had; it
kept her awake at night a good deal
and at first confined her to her bed.
Then noticing that the newspaper man
was getting nervous she said she
could tell by his looks that he was go
ing to have one just likes hers and
asked him to go in and sit down.
