Important role in the "Lighthouse by
the Sea" at the Itex and does his
part even better than lie has In other
uccessful pictures.
"The Cat and the Canary," a mys
tcry Dlav that was certainly a thriller,
was another Hclllg attraction. Jt
pluycd here Tuesday, and was de
cidedly popular and a success. Tho
ever-liked Western vaudeville on
Wednesday completed the week's at
tractions. The start, of the coining week will
bring the long-heralded "Abraham
Lincoln" to the ltex. The great his
torical production will run tor three

Premier among the state attrac
tions of Kugenc for the mouth, is the
c. umi(! of Uliu Skinner in "S.incho
1.1.11.11" to the Ileilig theater Tucs

The position proves to he loo lieurt

'the play is a rollicking, fantastic
comedy, and Mr. Skinner is nlily suit
ed t tliu character role. His coming
to h'ugeuo Li being hailed with a great
deal of enthusiasm by the followers
of the play world.
Helmed of nil Americans, Abraham
Lincolu is perhaps tho most popular
figure nud (lie greatest, iu the history
of (lie nation. Naturally, n pictuiWii
iion of his life Is attractive, but when
that pict urination Is taken iih truu to
lifo ns is humanly possible, the his
torical event is even better liked.
This is what happened in tliu mo
tion pleturo coming to the Hex thea
ter Mouday, "Abraham Lincoln." The
picture Is historically correct, end ill
the smite time carries the pathos, the
teuder momenta and the strength that
goes with the story of tho great
emancipator. j
Critics who have viewed the pic
turo have declared that it is the great
rst attempt of its kind ever curried
through by any motion picture con
corn. It is hailed as one of the f iu
est productions of tho year, and
lands far above uiauy others ulsu
ruted highly.
Tho coining of "Abraham Lincoln"
baa been awaited for some time, und
the three-day run at the ltex ou Mon
day, Tuesday and U'eduosday will
doubtless seem nit too short.
Minstrels, joyful and carefree, al
ways popular because of their very
ability to dispel gloom, are to com-i
to Lugcue Monday, according to the
announcement of the management of
the Hciiig theater. Further ttiun that,
the minstrel troupe will be of the

justly so, for as the weeks speed by
they leave, in their wake "bigger and
better prologs.
such fcplendid and worth while notices
as was given Al and Jtay itockett s
"Abraham ' Lincoln" when it was
shown there at Crundall's Metropoli
tan theater.
The reviewer on the Washington
Herald said. "As fine an ochievement
as has ever been credited to the mo
tion picture industry in this country.
A drama of wonderfully entertaining
quality. The outstanding episodes in
the life of Abraham Lincoln have been
laced tightly together into a moving,
nulsina. BTitmiuif entertainment thai
nosaesses much humor, frequent touch
es of pathos, udventure and thrills
beyond number. The pivotal charac
ters are played with a uniform excel
lence that is ainnzing. The familiar
characters visuulizrd in the drama are
so flawlessly done that it ceases to be
actlua- and becomes sheer reawy.
From the standpoint of direction, por
tography and the other essentials of
a sunerfiuo production, 'Abraham
Lincoln' Is supreme."
Washington Times: " 'Abraham
Lincoln' is a great picture, and some
day you may be ashamed to admit not
having seen it. All films of similar
nature must come up to this produc
tion to. find their stundards. 'Abra
ham Lincoln' is solemnly magnificent
and gravely Inspiring."
Washington Star: "Portrayed so
perfectly, so accurately and with such
a richness of detail as to be intensely
engrossing from beginning to end. One
of the really worth-while to end. One
Uircs. one of .the few that can be
counted on the fingers of one hand
since the very Inception of the art.
Never before has anything like 'Ab
raham Lincoln' been attempted. A
magnificent production, something
that everyone should see.
Washington News: "An impressive
achievement. The picture has mo
ments of vigorous drnma, a most mar
velous Honest Abe, good acting sup
port, ambitious direction. See 'Lin
coln'." Washington l'ost: "Worthy of any
tribute. Washington is indeed fortu
nate to see such a picture.
Tho picture "Alrnhnm Lincoln"
will be'shown at the Hex theater with
a special nightly prolog, "Plantation

Xf the picture-going public thinks
it has seen tue se-t-aued ' last woru

it is eaid to be w-gtakeu and due for
a gitnuine surprise next Thursday at

wonder horse, Tony, and, a handsome
brute of a dog, a great Dane, vie
with eiicu other iu displaying hixtri
omc intelligence which compares fav
orably with tbe most brilliant efforts
of the best humau actors of the day.
The remarkable part of it is, "Teeth"
is net advertised as an animal pic
ture nor docs the producer emphasize
this fcuture of the film at all. Vet,
it is doubtful if ever two besets mani
fested such consummate skill 4u in
terpreting fine art before in all tne
history of amusement, 'ihe picture

Tony long since has earned a place

iltr In the name part. It is the work
of Melcliuir Lrnuyrl, nuilior of "The
t'zniinn." iu which loris Kestic
achieved success.
Speaking of ".Sancho ranza" It is
evident tlist Mr. Skinner has iu this
piny, describi'd ns a fantastic comedy,
a medium better suited to his expres
sion ot dramatic and si'riii-coinedy
acting than any provided him in late
years. With staging by ltlcjnnl Pols

and music by Hugo Felix, of "Lassie,"
'Tom l'om" and "Marjoliuo" film..;
dniicing arranged by Hert French,
ot the .Music itox Jtevue, nud C's

creator ot the .eigteld Follies cos
tumes, it would seem "Saucho Pnnzti"
more nearly approaches an Arab.an
.sights tale tii.111 anything afforded
Mr. Skinner since tho days of Kib
luet." The story ot "Sancho l'nnza" deals
with Hint episvde ot Cervantes' Look
where Suucbo uas been made the vic
tim of a practical joke by being scut
to the Uluud of llarstans to uecome,
its goveruor. The trusting siinpu

so succtssilllly administered as to
cause the owipvople to declare their
preierence for Sancho over all the
ni-ecrdiig g iveriu.rs of Baiataritt. Sjii
cho's success completely outwits thv
Duke and his cohorts, and they are
nt a loss to know how to get rid of
him. fcremually, because he enunui
stand the sufferings of the people aud
finds tho job of governor too heart
stirring a tusk, Sancho gives up Ins
re.gll aud returns to the little country
