THE AUDITORIUM.

The reopening bill at the Auditorium brought out a large number to watch the presentation of Clara Kimball Young in "The Common Law" and all were much pleased with the high class production that was shown on the screen.
 The Selig Tribune Weekly aroused .@Ruch enthusiasm and the common ex- pression throughout the audiences was that this weekly surpassed any week ly shown here previously. The Pro- perty Man comedy aroused much laughter and all in all the show was of the best.
 For Monday and Tuesday an equally strong bill has been arranged for at which time William Fox will present the famous actress, Valeska Suratt in Jealousy" The story of this remark able picture in brief Is as follows:
 Anne Baxter marries Peter Martin, although she does not love him. She immediately proceeds to neglect him, when she learns that a former lover, Roland Carney, is living in happiness Carney away from his wife.
 Her first move is an attempt to make the husband suspicious of Agnes Carney. Anne leads her unsuspectinS into many plots, but each is unsuc- cessful.
 Then the woman begins a direct at tack on Roland. She learns a way by which she thinks he can make a for tune III the SIOck market at the eX- 1erse of her own husband and she gives the tip to Carney. But Martin discovers her duplicity, and turns the r.esirlSet against Carney.
 The result is that the man is ruin ed, and he turns in anger on the wo- man who has been trying to lure him away Martin, dissusted with his wife's secret schemes, throws her to the floor and leavessber.
 Another big attraction is that fa- nous comedian Charlie Chaplin in "The Musketeers of the Siums'' This feature comedy has never been seen in Norwich and is one of Chaplin's s latest productions.
