AT THE PLAYHOUSES.
The Pastime Clotwxl Tonlslit.
Owing to the fact that the Pastime
has repeaters the show will not run
tonight, but will be" open tomorrow
night. Saturday afternoon and night,
with a full program of new films,
which will arrive tomorrow morning,
not over 10 days out of the factory.
These films are named In the regular
house ad today. The reason for the
repeaters for tonight la from the fact
hat the Pastime has" 'Chanzefi Ulm
houses, and as the new film house did
not know what uaa been, mown i
the Pastime, they sent films that had
been run only recently. In the future
the Pastime films will be new, direct
from the factory and there will be no
more chances of getting repeaters.
The films will also be clean and with-
out scratches. The management is
very sorry It cannot run tonight, but
as their motto Is "The best Is none too
good," they would rather clos and
will give a better program than usual
for tomorrow night. Be on hand a
that time, you will be repaid. ,
Travesty on Salome Dance.
In this day and age when the Sa
lome dances are all ' the craxe, the
burlesque at the Scenic Is a magnetic
number. People like to see the trav
esty as It la anything but Indecent, and
yet is so- humorous that the manager
is confident he has found something
that has made a hit with his patrons
This film was put on the screen last
evening and can be seen again to
nuht Another cool film Is "When
Our Ship Comes In." Walters and
'Wnri-nv are "there" with a Dutch
sketch that Is side-splitting. The ma
glclan opens up a new line of demon
strations tonight.
