"MASQUE OF LIFE" SPECTACULAR
FILM NOVELTY.

Those who want to see film that
is absolutely different and novel must
be sure to get to the Shubert Thea
ter, where THE Masque of Life a
tremendous seven-reel spectacle is now
showing. 1t is the most startling and
unusual combination of romance, hate,
tragedy, mother-love, heart-throbs,
laughs and tears that could be imag-
ined, and it truly has uncountable
thrills. The thing that most people
talk about in the picture is the work
OF Pete Montebello, the monkey star,
who provides so much of the excite.
ment. One of his stunts is to climb
to the top of the 36O-foot tall chimney
with a real live baby under his arm.
At the top of this. chimney there is a
thrilling fight between the monkey
and the heroine of the story, who goes
up the chimney on a guide rope to
rescue the child. With the roofs of
the city plainly visible below and the
always imminent danger of baby, girl
or monkey going down into the slant
ing chimney. This is scene that
makes every audience hold it's breath.
Tremendous expense was incurred in
making the spectacular scenes bigger
than anything ever done before and
the huge success the film is enjoying
all over the country proves the popu-
larity of picture which entertains
and thrills, without preaching any
sermon or touching on forbidden SUBJ
jects. The. "Masque of Life" is clean.

from the four corners of the earth,
twenty midget ponies, midget ele-
plants, forty midget and giant dogs,
all in beautiful revue, given scenic eff
feet that carries out the fairy-like i'm
preston.
Leo Singer, who gathered this ag-
gregation together, spent many years
in gathering these shapely little peo-
pie. 1t was big task, for each one
had to be talented-able to do some
thing to entertain. Hence these mar.
vicious midgets embrace animal train
,ers, circus riders, athletes, strong
men, prima donnas, tenors, in short a
whole world of little people, that all
people, little and big, should not fail
to see.
Nor is this all. AS added attrac-
tions, Pantages gives other acts,
Zerth's forty dogs of all nations; Ed.
ward Blondell & Co., playing "The
Lost Boy" funniest of all tabloid acts;
the Three Romanos, marvellous dan.

What show! 1t is the GROWING
triumph of vaudeville bills.

other opportunity of seeing such a
show as is to be given there, for any
price of admission. There may be a
few people in Minneapolis who saw
Singers Midgets at the Hippodrome

idea that this marvellous gathering
would ever visit Minneapolis, yet the
energy of Pantages has brought this
marvellous aggregation of travellers
from fairyland to this circuit.

Pine Ridge. The Indians went into
frenzy of religious excitement. The
white agent at Pine Ridge became
alarmed and sent for United States
troops The result was the precipita-
ton of battle. 1t took 5000 troops
to put down the rebellion. General
Nelson Miles, who in his dotage has
turned against Catholicity in way
that almost savors of insanity, led
the government forces. Sitting Bull
and his son were among those who
lost their lives in the uprising.
The Sioux Indians, at the present
time, are all civilized or almost civil
lied. The death of their old chief,
Red Cloud, in 1909, removed their
last link with the Indian past.
Fasteners and Europeans often
think that the men at the head of the
great wild west shows that visit
them are merely clever actors, not
real trail makers. This might be
true of some, but it was certainly not
true of Buffalo Bill and Major Burke.

the road as showmen.
The major lacked the slim graceful.
ness of figure that was one of the
marvels of Colonel Cody even score
or more years after Buffalo Bill had
passed the age when belts usually
are let out bit. In fact, the major
was portly, but his silvery hair that
fell about his shoulders when permit
ted to do so, but which usually was
fastened in tight knots with hairpins
under his black sombrero; his flow
ing white side whiskers; his year
around black frock coat; his low
turned down collar and white pique
dickey, and above all, his big cluster
pin of diamonds which took the place
of cravat (the major detested crav-
ats and therefore never wore one)-
all these hirsute and sartorial affecta-
lions of the major and his always
interesting flow of conversation made
him quite as picturesque a figure in
his own fashion as Colonel Cody was
in another way.

on behalf of every small nation except
Ireland. You, Mr.. President, have ex-
pressed great sympathy with the
cause of the small nations; feel sure
you will include Ireland in the num-

In the new order of things which we
seem to be facing, alliances and treat

the biggest factor in these alliances
and treaties. Such being the case,
appeal to you to do all in your power
to secure for Ireland her God-given
right to live according to the wishes
of the vast majority of her population.
In making this appeal to you, make
it in the name of the Ladies' Auxil.

l assure you, Mr.. President, this or
ganization is not engaged in perpetu-

purely philanthropic, and it's members
will forgive England fully and freely
for all past injuries if she will now
agree to do this simple act of justice
to the dear land that next after Amer

In view of the magnificent part
those of our blood played in establish.

the knowledge of our undying devo.

we feel justified in making this appeal
to you, with the utmost confidence in
your sense of justice and fair play.
Hoping that the God of nations and
the ruler of destinies will guide and
direct you during this critical period,

turesque Figure.

Major John M. Burke, the noted
Western scout and Snowman, who
died IN Washington, D. c., last week,
mad been received twice in private
audience by pQpes-the late Leo XIII
and the late Plus Kin recognition
OF his part in bringing peace among
the last of the Sioux Indians to rise.
Major Burke was a Catholic, and was
buried in Mount Olivet cemetery.
He was we'll known in the Northwest.
for, like Buffalo Bill, whose close per-
sonal friend and press agent he was,
he looked upon this Western country
as his real home.
The Sioux Indians, or Dakotas.
were first found in Minnesota. They
were driven south by the French,
spreading even to the upper and low
er part of the Mississippi Valley. In
the war of 1912, they were allies of
Great Britain. They engaged in the
usual Indian wars, deeming them
selves unjustly treated by the United
States. They are now located mainly
in North and South Dakota.
Catholic missionaries went among
them more than 200 years ago, but
did not meet with as much success
as with some of the other Indian
tribes. There are about $4,000 Sioux
today, of whom about half are Chris.
tians. OF these, half are Catholic
and half Episcopalians and Presby.
terians. AT one of their Catholic
schools they have monthly pub.
LEGATION in the Sioux language. The
Catholic faith has been spreading
widely among them in late years.
The last uprising of the nation,
which Major Burke helped to put
down, thus winning the esteem of the
popes, was in 1890. Rumors had ris.
en- among the Sioux that a new In.
dian Messiah had come forth, and
that he would restore their old Indian
life, raise their departed friends, and
have them all together on a new
earth that would know no white men.
The Sioux and other tribes sent dele
gates to this Messiah" in western
Nevada. The first delegation and an.
other confirmed the truth of the ru.
mors. In the spring of 1890, a "ghost
dance designed to hasten the fulfill
ment OF the promises. was held at

into unit effect was the swiftness
with which the scenes followed each
other. Each scene was cut off from
the next by brief plotting of the
light, merely. This device gave the
play the swift flowing action which
was Shakespeares intent.
Less obvious, but equally important
in securing this quick tempo, was the
firm hold of all the actors on lines and
situations, and the precision and speed
with which cues were taken and move
ments made. All these contributing
excellencies brought the play to close
in two brief laughter filled hours, with
out cutting any line or scene one
missed.
costuming Gay.
The spirit and the speed of the
whole were reinforced by gay costum-
ing, quickly dissolving groups of good
proportion and balance, and effective
ly closed by the spirited dance on
which the final curtail fell. 1t is a
matter of pride and interest for Wi
mona to have an annual production of
such merit; and it is easy, already,
to prophesy a full house for next
years production.
Last nights was superior produc-
ton, finished in every detail and re-
veallng the hand of a master. The
audience was thoroughly appreciative
as indicated by the spontaneous ap-
plause. The proceeds, which were
rich, will be turned into the endow.
ment fund. Since early in the fall
the rehearsals have been in progress.
Donald Robinson, national dramatic
critic, assisted in the final work of per-
fectlng the details. In Winonas his.

ANNUAL SHAKESPEARE PLAY
GIVEN By THE PUPILS OF THE
COLLEGE OF ST. TERESA WAS A
GRAND SUCCESS.

Winona, MINI. - The young women
of the College of Saint Teresa offered
Winona the opportunity to see Shake
speare's Twelfth Night" in the COL
lege auditorium recently. AS might
have been expected from the enthu-
siasm aroused by last years distin-
guished performance Of GAS You Like
It," under the same direction and with
nearly the same cast, the audience was
large, and in the most expectant and
appreciative mood. The players lost
none of the advantage gained from an
audience already won; the vitality and
merriment intrinsic in the play took
possession of both sides of the foot
lights from the first rise of the cur.
tain.
Two Dominant Moods.
The two dominant moods of the
play-the romance and poetry of the
Viola story, and the hilarious fun of
the incompatible buffonery of Sir
Toby and his satellites-were clearly
contrasted, and carried forward in
parallel development with not little
skill. The audience manifestly took
the roisterers to it's heart from their
first entrance, and rejoiced in every
succeeding temperance. The young
women who presented these joyous
rascals are to be highly compliment
ed on the response they got from the
audience. 1t is no easy task in these
grim days to make the sheer wild
love of life of the Elizabethan convinc.
ing and contagious. Almost as far
from us. too, is the poetic extrava-
gance of Viola's nature; and the Noon
ans work in portraying the romance
OF her "sweet-and-twenty" is perhaps
even more to be praised as it required
subtler and therefore less easily
grasped effects than the broad com.
edy Of the other group called for. 1t
was a pleasure to hear the laughter
fall to silence under the simple rem
dering of some of the beautiful lines
of one of Shakespeare's most winsome
parts.
Play Moves Rapidly.
The acting was supported by most
effective handling of the play as a
whole. Perhaps the point of highest
excellence in the shaping of the whole
