Special Announcement.
By reason of the fact that the film
was late in arriving and many were
disappointed In not being able to wit
ness the Gans-Nelson pictures yester
day, the price of admission for this
evenings performance has been re
duced to 15 cents. Though the price
Is not so good for the management,
there has been no reduction In the
value of the pictures. This afternoon's
matinee was well attended and all who
saw it pronounce It one of the best
pictures of Its kind ever shown In
this city? 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.
Remember, the Gans-Nelson plctumi
can be Been again '. this evening at
the Pastime, promptly on the stroke
of 9:30. Come early and 'get a ring

all that the maker claim for it. The
settings are: beautiful and the cos

, If you delight in a hearty laugh,
and wish to give yourself over com
pletely to enjoyment, drop In at the
Scenic and see the . number entitled,
"The Runaway Motherln-Law." It is
funny, but not rough; laughable, but
not. silly. ' Of course, If you want the
seriouB sort of pictures and picture
stories, there are other numbers on
the program which will please you
better. The slides showing the old
time grandeur of Rome are not only
beautiful, hut educational In their na
ture. A visit to the Scenic will give
you a better Idea of Roman architec
ture than you have ever had before.
It is believed several will go from
La Grande to Baker City next Friday
to attend the celebration In honor of
Oregon's famous athletes, Gilbert and
Rmlthson of Portland, and Dan Kelly
of Bakar City. The home town of one
of the trio who have been receiving
ovations on their return - trip, across

the occasion. .

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.
