"Power of Labor " a political film thai was produced for a Labor dav celebration, is ' the drawing card at me huic which, will be seen for the first time tonight. The changed today, though the houso a( m this issue does not show It. Ar oversight Is to blame. . The main part of tho new program is the film which pictures the struggle goinar on between labor and capital. There is a drama tic touch to it. ' ' ! The scene introduces two burelar who have Just made a successful haul At their den they get Into a auarrel over their ill-gotten wealth. A Derlod of 14 years elapses and all in the of fice of tho great Harmagee mills.' trt satisfy the proprietor's desire for gam bllng, reduces the wages of the work- Ingmen, that he may use what he saves by the reduction to use In his gam bling. Once again the burglars are face to face, man and man. , A Jagged scar extending from the neck half way to the man's waist. The sight taker his mind back to a cave in the moun tainside. He lives over the brief strug gle and he realizes the enormity of his crime against this man, and he pleads for mercy. ' The Pastime. ; The Pastime remains in the center of location and attraction for a pleas ant evening's entertainment. The film, "A.Paris Fire Brigade," Is a wonder, showing how the firemen drill on the other side of the waters! If American departments were as good. fires would be put out before they started. "The Woman's WIC' re ceived the loudest applause last night and taking It for granted from that, It Is the Btar feature of the show. The film, "A Romance of a, War Vet," and the "Making of a Man's Dream," are full of wit. As Mr. Germack was ta ken very ill last evening, the local stereoptlcon views will be presented at a later date, as there will be a lecture with the pictures that will be interesting. A Tiny Actor. Miss Vivian Baker, a tiny girl es pecially gifted as a singer and dancer, made a success of her appearance si the Scenic last night, and she will ap pear again tonight In a pantomime song combination, rendering "You'll Be Sorry; Just Too Late." She does it nicely. Her drum step without mu sic last evening was excellent for so small an actor. - Sherwood's Banner Attraction.' "A Lion's Bride," presented at the Sherwood Electric is truthfully splen oiu, ana tne (prediction made last night that the film would take well, has proven true. The story depicted by pictures Is touching and brings the spectator oacK to tne middle ages when blood was freely spilled In sim itar instances. Laugh-producing pic tures and catchy songs go to make up a strong program at the old reliable stand. DENTIST. DK. W. I. McMILLAX. f Pu I n less Dentistry. Expert Gold Work a Specialty..
