The capacity 'of the Pastime theater
was not sufficient to accommodate the
crowds last evening. Many were turn

many, after witnessing one perform

Sctnlc, has surely found a cure for the
blues In this week's program, No one
who sees the Merry Widower can re
main glum or unhappy for more than
one minute after seeing this real funny
set of pictures. The hero of the store
meets a lady on the street and makes
many, but vain attempts to' win the
fair one and in the end is completely
"cut out" by a college man. Another
good film Is the "Coward." This nun
ber deals with a large but patient man
who is cruelly abused by a bully, but
finally patience censes to be a virtue
and the big fellow gives the bully "ull
that Is coming to him." The las-t
number, "Oh, What on Appetite!" Is
another comic number. The last two
numbers are absolutely new, as they
were released September 2.
