"That this deduction is entirely er roneous may he best demonstrated by tiic examination of paragraph '2 of this circular.

A wiilc tiriety of scenory is found in "Aloho Oe," and Mr. Inee, not ham pered for money, let no detail escape, his notice. Tho distinguished actor, Willard Mock, plays tho stellnr role with tell ing offcet, and his leading woman, Knid Mnrkey, a well-known fijwro in theatrical circles, makes n bounti ful and emotion appeal hu tho Ha waiian girl. In tho Triangle Kuystons, "A Vil lage Scandal," thoro aro three stars, Raymond Hitehcook, Koseoo Ar lnickle, and Flora Znbelle; Hh.vimoikI Hitchcock, thu celebrated actor in fa mous musical comedies, and his wife, Horn Zabelle, who has also been h great popular favorite in tho same lines, have many admirers. Then Fatty Arbucklo, he's always amus ing, and with the help of Hitchcock he is fnnnior than evor. "Tho Vil lago Scandal" is just bubbling over with the notion and fun that Mack Sennett like to show, Htitl lie is at his best this time. Living models, of, tho big fashion display, exquisite dress creations, tho stylo show was very highly appreci ated bv the ladies who attended tho Page performance last night.
