THE YAQUI CUR
Is the title of the two part
Indian drama at the Dream to
night. It is replete with pretty
scenery, the plot is well laid, a
young Indian learns the white
man’s ways, but dies to protect
his friends. The Lubin does
not come up to the standard,
the Pathe Weekly is very in
teresting and is taken by the
camera man all over the world.
Bill Woodworth has a good
song which he sings in a very
pleasing way. The wind up
Edison comedy is one that is
sure to draw a laugh from a
concrete head. Tomorrow night
we will show you some fancy
Skiing, taken in Sweden. This
is a Pathe production which
means the best of photography,
and the price is still the same
at the Dream two bits. We
never raise, and we give five
full reels all the while. adv

HEROS OF THE MOUNTAINS
The three reel feature that
holds the headliner place on the
program tonight is a story of
the Swiss Alps and will prove
more than interesting along the
lines of strong drama and
heauttiful scenery. There arc
a number of cleverly protrayed
scenes and it is just another of
those good ones that we ore
showing to meet the popular
demand which is for multiple
reels. Here is another big one.
The intrigues of Henry YII. Tlii
is a three reel handeolored film
of unusual merit. The histor
ical fact* concerning the reign
of King Henry are too well
known to need any comment
but to see an actual reproduc
tion of these facts is not often
afforded the average human.
This subject shows the deeds
and facts from the conspiracy
of Lord Cranmer and Lady Jane
Seymour to the beheading of
his last Queen. After this liltl?
synopsis your interest should
be doubled. We want you to
see it, the coloring is beautiful
and it will be a source of joy
to see such an amount of beauti
ful landscapes, courtscenes and
fine examples of historical abil
ity. And remember ladies that
•the second of the set of Miss
Mable Normand will be at
your disposal Sunday night at
