The Usual Aftermath.


Day before yesterday, We Ed
caused to have printed in this
daily an interview with Houdini,
the Great.
Today, in the A. M. mail, we
get a letter from Mrs. Gertrude
Sonnekalb, hostess of the Dixie
Tavern at Rockville, saying for us
to get in touch with Mr.. H., "and
get an answer to your article in
today's Times"
Mrs. S. further states that ''you
all have a real surprise in store
or l miss my guess"
Speaking for ourself, we have
got our surprise already, not
knowing what it's all about.
However, Mr.. Houdini was tell
ing us last night that he had re-
ceived four letters from restau.
rant proprietors in answer to the
printed remark that he was look.
ing for good table d'hote dinner.
This all goes to show that at
least five managers of eating
houses read the column.
And. by the way, Mr.. Houdini
broke out--or rather got our, in
his own inimitabIe way-of the
Lansburgh & Bro. packing case
on the Keith stage last night. He
has accepted a challenge from RilI
Peak, our genial host at the Dis
trict jail, to get out Of a con.
triYance that makes q strait

second exhibition Of making a fool

There's another item in this after
math, too. In the original Houdini
story we remarked, unfortunately,
that when in Manager Robbins

HIGH CLASS SHOW-LYCEuM.

The current photoplay is "Phan- tom Justice" This is a picture that has n crook element that is intriguing, and also it brings in one stupendous court scene. as well as some cleverly worked out romantic incidents, Rod l.aRoque and Estello Taylor are the stars. The former appears as a great criminal lawyer whose skill frees many guilty crooks, while the girl ap- pears as denizen of the underworld. The romance is woven around these two.
 The picture for the last half Of the week is really one of the best offered to the movie public. It is Pioneer Trails" a photoplay that in many ways rivals the famous Tho Covered Wagon" The theme is not great deal different and the settings are said to be equally brilliant and striking. Many who have seen both pictures say that about the only difference is the price charged. for the I4yceum will not increase tho price at all for the coming Of this great epic Of the advance Of civilization into the great western country Covered wagon trains. Indian attacks, frontier forts and all the rest that goes with the pioneer days are shown fin realism in this picture.
