Mystery Program.
Bae Pierre Brookhart & Company
Feature Here Thursday, Sept. 2;
Matinee and Night.

The lure of the mysterious is the
power back of the tremendous sue
cess that has been achieved by Bae
Pierre Brookhart & Company, the
man who tells all, assisted by Princess
Parillo. who is known as the psychic
marvel of the age. 1t was Brookhart
who predicted the world war in Win
nipeg long before it started. Brook
hart sees and knows all. If you are
in doubt about oil or mining invest
ments, or if you wish to find out
about your love affairs, or if you are
full of questions which, seemingly,
no one can answer correctly, ask
Brookhart He knows and will tell
you ALL Holly, known as the golden
voice, portrays a smalltown "hick"
character possessing a double voice
with the unusual combination of bari
tone and soprano He has voice
remarkable for its power as well as its
musical qualities. The La Were Sis
tiers, three gifted and versatile young
ladies, who have ability and talent as
novelties showing grace and execution
with pretty and costly costumes. To
match, Aoy Sam Brothers, gymnasts
supreme in a phenomenal exhibition
of muscular and gymnastic feats, con-
sisting of daring and seemingly i'm
possible tricks with grace and ease.
A feature photo play is added to this
we'll arranged bill.
Bae Pierre Brookhart is described
as the wonder of the 10th century
and Princess Parillo is called the
psychic marvel of the age" 1t was
Brookhart who predicted the World
War in Winnipeg, long before it start
ed, and he returned there during the
conflict, predicting its end.
He gives most remarkable demon
stration of mental telepathy and pre-
diets the future in love, business and
other affairs, while reading the past.
The questions to be answered are not
written down or even told to an as
sistant, but simply thought by the
inquirer.

POLITICAL CHAOS

Who doubts for moment that
there is at this time more or less pol
itical chaos in this country?
The political chaos of this coun-
try is approaching the political con-
fusion in other parts Of the world.
We haven't political parties today
as they were understood at one time
in the history of this country. We
have what might be called political
organizations carrying the names OF
ancient political parties.
In other words, the political par
ties have a name to live but they are
dead.
The reason they are in this con-
dition is because they have abandon
ed great fundamental principles of
government, and doctrines OF the
Constitution. They abandoned them
hoping that they might surrender
principles for policies.
You can't build a great party or
a policy; it must be builded on a
principle.
If the parties Of this country are
to be revived and invigorated yor
must inject into their backbone the
virus of inviolable principles, fun
damental doctrines, constitutional
programs.
Men tell you that the reason FOL
the chaotic political situation of to
day is the primary election law. The,
say that the direct primary has de
stroyed party organization and re
sponsibility. They want the primar,
law repealed. The primary law will
not be repealed. 1t ought to b,
amended and in the following partic
ular:

First: Amend the law by creating

in pre-primary convention and
nominate ticket this would not ore.
vent any individual or any number Of
individuals from using the provisions
os the direct primary law and filing
their declaration Of candidacy for
office.
1t would have the effect, however Of
making the individual stand alone on
his merits, and independent Of party
support.
The pre-primary convention would
file its slate under the same provision.
When that slate was filed, the candi-
date under that filing would have the
support, Endorsement, and influence Of
the party.
In that way you would crystalize
the party, restore its organization, re-
sponsibility, and accountability, and
at the same time you would preserve
to the individual the right to file in

Second: You ought to amend the

right to be elected If you want to
save representative government raise
