 The uprising in Montenegro seems likely to bring to a head the long smOuldering differences between the MOntenegrin supporters of former King Nicholas and the faction adher- ing to the plan for the incorporation of Montenegro into the Jugo- SlaV state. King Nicholas never has rec Ognized the validity of the act of the MOntencgrin assembly last winter in depOSinG him and has continued to maintain the old royal MOntenegrin government. with it's seat in a suburb of Paris.

DAVIS THEATRE

The bill at the Davis theatre for the first half of the week is well balanced and has considerable merit The mo- tion picture The Two Brides, featuring Lima Cavalieri is a long drawn out drama of which the principal attrac- tion is the strong acting of the star and her supporting cast.
 The feature act is Kirke Brown and Company in a humorous playlet The Alibi in which there is a good line of subtle comedy.
 Cavaugh and Thompson present one of the neatest and prettiest little acts seen here. They have a little of ev- erything, but not too much of any, thing to make it fall fiat.

 A Burton Holmes travelogue and a Lyons Moran comedy make up the re- mainder of he bill.
