they received so many encores that for
a time It looked as If the picture part
of the program would have to be side
tracked. Their songs are new and de
livered with a finish that pleases the
audience as nothing heretofore offered
at the Pastime has been able to do.
The pictures are all good. The comic
numbers are the sort which make you
laugh whether you want to or not.
Tou simply cannot resist the desire to
smile out loud. Tonight the quartet
will give an entire change of songs.
Remember, that at the Pastime you
are assured a good comfortable seat,
proper ventilation, the right degree of
warmth and a thoroughly clean show.
We would also call your attention that
the Pastime gives a show every day in
the week except Sunday. Tou will

C, HRISTMAS seems to be quite a long ways off and yet by the Galendar there are only 9 days more until Christmas will be here. That is not too far away for you
to begin to do some hard thinking about holiday gifts and it is so much easier to make right selections when you have plenty of time. We have made all our hol
t ' iday preparations and the stock is now ready for your inspection. We cordially invite you to call at your earliest possible convenience and as often as you can. Li
extent, variety and novelty far exceeds any other that will be seen in this locality and our prices are proportionally lower. Any item on which a small payment
has been made will, if you so desire, be laid aside for you. In case of duplication, gifts will be exchanged. We shall be pleased to be of assistance to you in any way.
