NOTICE

Do you know how Buffalo Bill
got his name? Why the entire coun
try loved Abraham Lincoln? How
John Wilkes Booth escaped after
tttthe assination?
"In the days of Buffalo Bill"
which comes to Dreamland theatre
on Friday and Saturday, is re-
sumo of the most wonderful and in
spring epochs of history that Amer
lea has ever known. From an edu-
cational standpoint its value cannot
be overestimated. and from the
standpoint of romance and enter
tainment it is wholly satisfying.

Mr.. Webster did not intend her
to overshadow the man she didn't
know as her father until she was
twenty.
You meet Beatrice Greer in child

guardians. You meet her In the
transportation to her fathers
household. in the by-paths Of So
ciety and in the cabaret millions.
and when she has renounced her
fathers affluent guardianship to
marry her choice, she disappears
from the story, but you feel you
