Today is the ninety-first birthday of
the State of Illlonls. It was on Dec. 3
1818 that President Monroe signed
the paper which admitted this state
Into the Union. Chicago was then but
a group of huts, huddled around Fort
Dearborn, and it was not until nearly
a nrnrn of T"-" Iali ilmi tne real
city had its beginning. When Illinois
waa admitted to the Union It had a
''large Indian population, and for many
years it remained the frontier state,
marking the western boundary of civ
ilization. 9t '

The program Is closed with one of
the most ambitious pictures ever put
upon the stage. The scene Is laid in
the trenches of tbe British forces at
Inkermann, the fiercest engagement
fought during the long and bloody
Crimean campaign of 1854. An attack
by the Russians is repulsed in a tre
mendously strong engagement, which
finally reaches the hand-tohand per
iod as the curtain falls on the scene
with the Union Jack waving over the
ramparts to the accompanlent of the
British cheers of victory. An Impress

SUPERS
"Flora's Elopement," Big Success.
To say that the opening night of
"Flora's Elopement" was a big event
is expressing it mildly.
A bright comedy with a Jingly mus
ical iiiiale, this bill pleases all who
like to laugh and you know, the lit
tle rhyme ,
Laugh and the world laughs with you,
Weep and you weep alone,
Thats why tragedians go borrowing,
While commedians have money to
loan.
The Btar in thU piece Is, without a
doubt, Mr. Sld Williams in the role
of the minister, and he is ably sup
ported by the rest of the company.
