opened up their moving picture
show last Friday evening with a
attendance which held good the
next eveing there being ' about
present each evening. Wednes

good but not so large as on open

The pictures were good and
amusing and for new operators
there was an absence of the usu
al dazzle that goes with moving
picture concerns when first in
stituted. Altogether the show
was good and was appreciated
by those in attendance.
A Story of Storey.
An English paper tells a little
anecdote of the distinguished paint
er Storey in his capacity of teacher
of perspective at the Loyal acad
emy: On one occasion Mr. Storey
accepted an invitation to dine with
the wealthy and 1 huistine
father of one of his pupils. Over
the undeniable port the bv no
means doting parent inquired how
ma son was getting on, and, al
though the kindliest of men, Mr.
Storey could not bring himself to
say much that was favorable.
"Humph 1" grunted the man of
money. "Well, I hope ho will turn
out an artist, for I am quite sure
he's not fit to bo anything else."
