PANTAGES.

A bill which carries with it an enor-
nous expense, will be seen for the
change Of program beginning with the
Sunday matinee. The leading act is
an innovation in vaudeville, for the
very good reason that it's expense of
touring is almost prohibitive except in
specially big circuit, but Alexander
Pantages has not hesitated at expense
in making good entertainment for his
patrons. ga Mile a Minute" the great
spectacle, which ran whole year at
the New York Winter Garden, is to be
brought here entire, with it's carload

story of the great west, and finishes
with a climax which shows race
down the mountain side, between a
real automobile and locomotives

York.
Another expensive act, is presented
by Herman Becker, starring Mark
Adams, in stockings" an elaborate
musical comedy tabloid, with unusual
ly elaborate scenic effect, and splen-
did company, headed by Eleanor Var
coe and Charles Lewis, and embodying
a number of unusually pretty Broad
way show girls. It is said to be full
Of unusual comedy, and bright lines,
as we'll as catchy music.
DeMichelle brothers, under the per-
sonal direction Of Alexander Pantages,
will help along the bill with their
splendid comedy act, which comprises
quaint humor, and some exceptionally
clever harp and violin music. These
young men are unusual performers,
and will brighten any bill upon which
they put in an appearance.
Winton Brothers are the newest and
most sensational of all the exponents
Of physical culture. They have q num-

For next week Manager Niggemeyer
will offer Shubert patrons distinct
dramatic novelty in the stage premier

this initial stage presentation will

role, for Miss Perry is the writer of
"The Virgin Widow" The play will
be produced early this fall in New
York City, under the management of
AL. II. Woods, noted dramatic produc-
er. The play is melodramatic in ten
dency and has it's locale in northern
Washington, where grows the silver
spruce, used by Uncle Sam for the
framework of his airplanes, as other
woods and metals will not suffice. 1t
is a struggle for the ownership of this
valuable timber claim that gives "The
Virgin Widows distinct war angle

and the wood is wanted for govern

told is a natural one, free from i'm

thrills and tense moments are there

step by step possession Of the War
Savings stamp, for each one of which
the credit and resources of the United

what now costs $4.16.

the process OF compound interest car

and convincing way. | earnetly COM
