AT THE DREAM
The show tonight is one tha'
will entertain. We will make
special mention of that follow
that continually loses his tem

teresting, the Pathe Weekl>
has a fire scene that shows what
this great destroyer of properh
can do when it gets a start.
Just a few of the special fea
tures that wo have commenc
ing Monday next. There are
none of the attractions at our
house that the children eanno'
see. It is not the policy of
| the General Kilim company to
| turn out any film that is of the
1 blood and thunder order. We
want all Mothers to know that
what the children see at the
Dream will be of the uplifting
kind. The stories for the en
suing week' are; ‘‘Nobility, 0
Pathe in three parts; “An Ad
venture on the Mexican Bord
er," a Lubin in two reels:
“Loved by a Miori Chieftess,”
in two parts, and last but the
best of all pictures ever shown
in our town. “Wild Animals at
Large," this last will be shown
j Thursday and Friday next.
This picture is running in New
York Vitagraph theaters in
New York City. This is the
finest theater for photo-plays
in the world. They are charg
ing 25. 5n. 75 and ?1.00. The
Vengeance of Durand, and the
Battle Hymn of the Republic,
are on the same bill. New
Yorkers are mad over the
new house. Anyone that thinks
our statements are wrong can
i go to the box office at the
1 Dream and see the proper pro
1 gram taken from the Moving
Picture World, the biggest in
America. The Dream is .'that
