which is to be shown at the

18th, for one night only, and with
which will be seen a beautiful bevy
of the famous Sennett Bathing
Girls, direct from the studios in
which these comedies are produced.
Whether or not he has reached
the goal he set is for the public to
decide. But as an aid to decision
it may not he out of place to re-
mind that for eight weeks at the
Broadway theatre in New York
and for five weeks at the Piegfeld
theatre in Chicago, the feature and
the bathing girls attracted record
breaking audiences. They were
removed from these theatres only
because previous bookings could
not be further postponed and that
fact, alone, makes it possible for
the people of this city to see this
attraction at this time.
or course, the center of interest
is the group of bathing beauties,
for no producer eyer will make
picture which will supplant the
eternal feminine in public interest.
Not one of the girls who have
come from the California studios
to tour the country with the film
ever has had professional Stage
experience before this tour and to
this fact, as much as to any other
is attributed, the unusual charm
their entertainment has for all
classes of theatre gOers.
Curtain at 8 p. M. No seats

Some time Sunday night a
week ago the general store of
Tnal Bros, at Arcadia, in Iron
County, was literally ransacked
by thieves. Although this store
is located in the center of
things" in that little town. en-
trance was effected through the
front doors, from whi h station
a large quantity of goods, the
estimated value of which is
somewhere between $500 and
$4,000, was apparently loaded in
cool and calculating manner.
Two trucks were evidently used
to haul away the large amount of
plunder. Many of the shelves
in the store were literally clear
ed of merchandise of every de
scription. and the exact worth
of the goods taken in this unique
robbery will perhaps never be
known. Such deliberate and
wholesale robbery has aroused
that quiet and peaceable COM
munity as it has seldom been
aroused before. .-Farmington
