The Mickelodian
The Xiekelodian changes Its bill again
today and has some excellent films to
display to its patrons. At each show
it has been the custom to render an
illustrated song, this innovation will
continue and the one for today will be
"Songs My Mother Ued To Sing." The
films are two of the best that tlie
Xickelodian has had since its opening,
they are bothvon the serio comic order
and are named "Wanted: Another Con
stable" and "A Nervous Kitchen Mni.l."
The first depicts the chase after an In
dia rubber baloon made to represent the
form of a man and which mystifies the
Gens d'armes who call out the Are depart,
ment to aid in its capture. The second
is a few of the troubles that the aver
age householder has put up with from
the kitchen servants.
