One spectator remarked that It was really better than seeing the real fight, as all the fighting was there, and none of the noise or incon venience of sitting on hard benches.

GILMAN. Water Superintendent At the Sherwood. .Uast night's program at the Sher wood contained several exceptionally good numbers. ' Especially Is the one which shows the carpet cleaner at work swallowing up everything In sight and then again spitting out all that It has devoured. Even .the reg ular attendants at the motion picture shows wonder how this film wan made. There Is no question but that the picture Is a real photograph and by some trick of photographic magic the various feats were accomplished in order for the camrea to do its work. It Is as much fun to figure out the process of manufacture as to see the pictures. Mr. Ferrln will sing again this evening, r Patrons of the Sherwood do not have to be told what this means. The number Hard to Get Arrested shows one side of life which makes one draw conclusions regard ing personal wants and desires. 11 ii I W I il i .a. m There are thousands seekinq to qet rich.
