AT CAPITOL.

The Capitol starting today for the balance of the week has another won- derful Keith vaudeville show with the big attraction The House of David Band. These long haired, bewhisker- ed sons of David are a real novelty to see and also a musical treat to hear them play. They come direct from their colony in Benton Harbor, Mich igan, to enter vaudeville and are now meeting with big success everywhere on the Keith Circuit. The added fea- ture presents Ona Munson and her company of players in Divorced" a very fine skit that will more than please. Frances Dougherty, the girl with the Irish smile" entertains with songs in a fine manner; Fred and Al Smith show real class with great gymnastic offering; and Harry Bra den. the optimist, will greatly amuse with his splendid songs and batter. The feature photoplay attraction pre- sents Emmett Flynns masterpiece, 'The Palace of the King" being very elaborate production with a large cast of stars, and a story that is both fascinating and novel. Starting Monday the Capitol will offer a spe- cial holiday bill and will feature Ralph Dunbar's Broadway Chgr. with ten vocalsts, each one fine soloist. Well dano's Sensation. a great novelty act, will be seen as the added feature with other acts of high class caliber.
