Francis Kelly Stock CO., Here All
This Week

The Francis Kelly Stock company
in their own big tent opened here
Monday night for a weeks engage
ment and from remarks gathered
from all who attended the opening
performance, they will have a very
successful week. The company is the
same which played the Gladmer
Theatre in Lansing all winter and is
far superior to the average tented
organization. Mr.. Kelly has played
through Michigan for ten years and
knows what the amusement loving
public demands. He has selected
seven of the best plays produced in
Lansing the past winter season and
is using them as vehicles for the
summer. Each member of the COM
pany is not only a capable actor but
a vaudeville artist as well, and some
clever vaudeville specialities are to be
seen between the acts Of the play,
making it continuous performance.
The plays for the balance of the week
are: Thursday, "The Red Cross
Nurse" play written around the re-
cent Mexican trouble; Friday: "The
Calling of Dan Matthews" drama
tized from Harold Bell Wright's novel
of the same name, and Saturday, a
play written about the famous Mis-
souri, outlaw, ~Jesse James," Sat
urday at 2.30 special matinee will
be given for ladies and children, who
find it impossible to attend the night
performances, the play being four
act western comedy-drama, "The
Coward" For the matinee the price
will be reduced to ten cents for any
seat in the tent. An entire change
of vaudeville will be presented at each
performance.

Nearly all kinds of pie were guessed.
Ladies Audie Gardner and Luretta
Gardner were chosen as judges and
decided that Lewis Compton came
the nearest to the right kind as he
guessed good pie, bad pie, no pie and
some pie, the pie being made with
the bottom Of chocolate fudge and
the top of divinity candy, it being an
exact initiation of a regular pie. The
flower fund was swelled by $1.57.
Then the ladies ratified off their rib
bons and regalia which was left from
the excelsior degree and cleared $2.1S
which was also turned into the flower
fund.

@SiIks and satins" Thursday


While preparing for her marriage
to a much disliked man about town,
Felicite finds an old yellow diary in
the debris of her favorite table, a
relic of the Napoleonic period. To
her great JOY an avenue of escape
from her distressing predicament is
unfolded to her through the medium
of the aged manuscripts. This
strange coincidence occurs in the ex-
quisite production, "Satins and Silks. "
Marguerite Clark, who has scored
such a marvellous success in molly
Make Believe" and her other numer-
Gus photoplay triumphs, is seen in an
entirely new light-the role of a
modern American girl.
The story opens on the day previ-
Gus to Felicite Cameron's marriage
to Felix Breton, a conceited dandy.
The young man is the choice of her
father, but not of her liking, for her
love lies in the heart of Jack Des-
mond.i
Her father observes the traditions
of his ancestors by having a table,
an old family eirloom, carried down
to the room below, where the we'd
ding presents are to be placed upon it.
The bridesmaids undertake the re-
moval of the table, but accidentally
let it fall in ruined heap at the foot
of the stairway.
Felicite, considerably upset over
the destruction of the relic, kneels
down beside it. She examines the
debris and suddenly she preceives a
drawer which had remained hidden
for over a century. Two packages
and a diary were its only contents.
Miss Clark, who plays Felicite in
both parts of the story, is surround
ed by a strong cast, including Thos.
Holding, Clarence Handysides, YER
non Steel, w. A. Williams and Fay
cite Perry.
"Silks and Satins" will be the at
traction at the Empress Thursday,
night. Read the Empress program.

EXPLOSIONS JAR new
YORK DURING BATTLES

Not since the munitions explosions
on Black Tom Island in New York
Bay had the countryside along the
north shore of Staten Island rever-
berated with such terrific concus-
sions as when Greater Vitagraph
staked its military scenes of "Wo-
manhood, the Glory of a Nation"
featuring Alice Joyce and Harry
Morey which is at the Star theatre
on Saturday, Nov. 3. The islanders
turned out en- masse to watch the
sway and surge of battle. They are
the first Americans, treated as COM
munity, who have any semblance of
modern war tactics as conducted be-
fore Verdun and on the Somme. Hers
was a great departure from the old
fashioned type of battle scene done
for show purposes.
Staten Island, a stones throw from
Manhatten, rocked under the roar of
great guns to make Vitagraph's great
spectacle for American military pre-
paredness convincing. Staten Island
saw the sky ablaze at night with H.

mortars hurting their explosives into
the opposing burrows a few yards
away. 1t gaped at troops, sheltered
by curtin fire, hacking their way

RAILWAY TO BE EXTENDED
Line in TrempeaIeau County Being
Built BY Farmers Will Be Con-
tinued to La Crosse.

Black River Falls-The new railroad
which is being built from Blair to Eft
trick in Trempealeau county is to be
extended east to Melrose, through
North Bend and on to La Crosse, ac-
cording to announcement here.
The road, which is financed by east
ern capital and by the farmers living
along the proposed line, is to be known
as the Ettrick and Northern 1t will
be sixty miles long and will pass
through rich agricultural district all
the way. At present the farmers in
this section are compelled to haul
their produce from eighteen to twenty
five miles and a large part of their
profit is consumed in this operation.
1t is believed this important addi-
ton to the Shipping facilities will be a
potent factor in developing the agri-
cultural resources of this cection. That
it will be a paying proposition is not
doubted here.
1t is estimated that it will cost $780,
900 to complete the work surveyed,
buy the right of way and put the line
in shape for traffic. Forty miles of the
distance lies through a very hilly re.
gion, but the remaining twenty miles
passes through level country.
