 In addition to this brilliant array of artists. there is the famous Boston opera chorus, said by critics to be the best chorus Boston has heard in many years.

 The great trio at the end of the gar den scene. the wonderful anvil chorus in the gypsy scene. the beautiful Miserers in the tower scene. the great prison scene are just fe- of the many num- bers which make Il Trovatore the worlds most popular opera.

BREED THEATRE,

Thunderclap. the remarkable William Fox special, which is the feature attrac- tion at the Breed theatre today and to- morrow, is aptly heralded as "a thrilling melodramatic picture with laugh every minute and thrill every 90 seconds
 An all star cast cleverly depicts he absorbing story of love- intrigue, romance and, last but not least. horse race yet unequalled on the silver screen.
 The colorful story of Thunderclap also brings to mind the more exciting days of yesteryear, when gambling fiourished, when the raucus call of the roulette wheel attendant mingled with the shrill laugh ter of the bizarre feminine and when for tunes changed hands with monotonous regularity.
 Into this world of gilt and flushed cheeks there comes the girl of the con vent. ignorant of the ways of the willy, but strong of character and of purpose. Her experiences in this new world, the discovery of a true friend beneath the rocking atmosphere of drink and smoke and the result of the track performance of Thunderclap combine for a story which charms at the very outset and fascinates until the unwelcome end.
 The Pathe news and an Educational comedy will make up the remainder of the bill. Three shows daily, at 2.30, and S.45, daylight time.

srRANp-rIyE BIG ACTS.

There are five fine B. F. Keith acts a the Strand for the first half of this week. It is truly an all star bill, as is also true of the feature picture.
 The Whirlwind Four are said to be speed marvels. This is a colored singing and dancing quattet. In dancing they develop as much energy as tornado and as much speed as a cyclone. They offer nine minutes of strenuous but at tractive entertainment.
 The Transfield Sisters offer Musical Capers. Opening their act with sing ing number, rendering the Blue Ridge Blues. they start their musical moments most auspiciously, finishing the number by playing the chorus on saxophones, inn mediately following with a jazz medley on the same instruments. rendered so cleverly that their standing as musical artists will never be questioned. For their third number they offer a pretty ballad entitled One Day in June, with mandolin accompaniment that will cer- tainly please. For their finish they pre- sent a characteristic appreciation of pop Irlar and march numbers that will as- surediy meet with the approval of any audience. It is pretty class offering that will entertain most delightfully."-.
 Helene Vincent is a song raconteur Her stories are lyrics and they are told to musical accompaniments. She has the voice of prima donna and will certain | ly please all.
 The combination of instrumental music and comedy is offered by Heney and Grace. These musical merrymakers offel a little oddtty entitled On the Course. 1 The American Comedy Four is char acter singing organization.

 Hundreds visited the fairgrounds dur ing Saturday afternoon and Sunday and found much to interest them in the in- spection of the encampment. Scores of horses were picketed inside the race track or tied inside the cattle shed and other points of vantage about the grounds. Guns and gun cassio.4s, cook shacks and the score of other things about the camp caught the eye and fancy of the visitors. The soldiers seem ed to enjoy the presence of the visitors and to welcome the opportunity to talk with those who came to visit them. This (Monday) morning the soldiers will break camp and proceed from Brooklyn to Danielson and then on to Putnam, where they will camp on Ia tenn field this afternoon and remain un- ! til Tuesday morning.
 Some of the soldiers went astray in coming into Brooklyn. getting off the state highway and onto a little used side road, There is little chance of their repeating this mistake in getting from Brooklyn to Putnam They are enroute. to Camp Devens, which they will reach the latter part of this week after an overland journey from CamI Dix, N.
