Scenlr's Program.
The highly exciting robbery of the
Northfleld, Minn., bank,' Is told in a
story film at the Scenic tonight in a
film entitled "Younger Brothers In
Minnesota." The picture If a thriller
and keeps the audience at rapt atten
tion. There is ample grounds for
laughter in the other films. One of
the funniest things seen here for
some time Is the story of the lone'y
gentleman. Morris & Morris and F.
A. Walters each continue to be draw
ing cards. Morris & Morris come out
in a new sketch tonight. The short
drama which the duet put on last eve
ning took well with the house. The
full program which goes into effect to
night follows:
"Younger Brother In Minnesota."
Song, ""'We. Have Been Chums for 50
Years." "How Slmpklns Discovered
the Korth Pole." Morris & Morris In
vaudeville. "The Lonely Gentleman."
F. A. Walters, In a laughable coon
sketch, Including singing, dancing and
monologue.
Vaudeville is IVrmnnent.
Manager Gardlnier announces that
he has booked vaudeville attractions
for three weeks ahead, and that the
system will bo made permanent for a
time at least.
The Pastime.
The Pastime last night played to a
large audience. The film, "Crazed by
Jealousy" was well received, being ex
ceptionally clear. The "Policeman's
Dream" shows a few of the Impossi
bilities that come to the dreamer, and
Is a good comedy. ."Willie's Fall from
Grace" pictures aome of the actions
of the goody goody boy who starts to
Sunday school, but falls to arrive,
and gets Into trouble that makes him
i good boy. "How Glue Is Made" is
exceptionally ilr.t, showing the pro
cess of making glue from start ' to
finish. Owing to the fact that the
films for the rest of the week are
longer than . usual, the performance
will begin promptly at 7:15 tonight.
Heacock's orchestra will render sev
eral selections. The house will . be
warm and comfortable. The songs by
Mr. Burton are being we Hi received,
