what the result would be- She men
toned the names of all the parties
interested; even told me my wife was
here to be at this trial; also told me
about my troubles with her and who
was the cause of all this.
"She explained to me Just how un-

PALACE A|RDOME
To Be OPENED
FIRST OF WEEK

The Palace Airdome on State street
is now undergoing various changes
and improvements, in anticipation Of
the coming summer evenings. that
will afford it d seating capacity of
over 500. While the majority of the
seats will be the usual theatre seats,
loges have been arranged at the rear
for ladies and their escorts, and will
seat about 100 persons.
The present plan of entrance and
exit are also being rearranged and the
projection boX moved nearer the
stage, thus producing far better
picture.
TIE opening date has been placed
for Monday evening, May 26, and as
a specia, feature in honor of the oc-
casion D. W Griffith's latest produc-
ton, The Girl Who Stayed at Home,
will be shown.

AT THE TOPIC TO-DAY.

unto the End IS an unusual pic
ture of childhood, youth and matur-
ing manhood, written by J. Francis
Dunbar. which will be shown at the
Topic theatre for one day only. The
story, which is replete with dramatic
scenes and stirring situations, opens
Z opulace of big western city. Then
the action is transferred to pictur-
esuue Hawaii.

AZ THE PALACE TO-DAY.

In the wide range of the drama,
be it legitimate or silent. there are
few actresses whose popularity ex-
ceeds that of Elsie Ferguson, the
beautiful Aircraft star in motion pic
lures. In Heart of the Wilds," which
appears at the Palace theatre today,
she is seen in an entirely new char
acter creation, one that is nuite diff
ferent from any in which she hitherto
has appeared on the screen-that of
the daughter of tavern keeper on
the Canadian-American boundary
This portrayal seems destined to in
crease her popularity, first, because
of her debut as a PLAYER in what is
termed a western" photoplay, and,
second, because of the profound in
terest Cf the story. and, lastly. be-
cause of the exquisite artistry she
displays in her conception and de-
lineation of an exceedingly arduous
role
