The tenth installment of "The Per

Crane Wilbur, italph Pantzer and all
other favorites will be shown at the
Ditmas this afternoon and evening,
together with a big three reel spec

blended with a charming and roman

Miss Rose Doris will repeat her

The Tidee.
Th°re is little room for doubt about
the theory that the tides are due to
the moon's action upon the surface of
the water. Of course, there are other
Influences, the sun, for instance, exer
cising no mean force upon the tides;
but the chief Influence Is attributable
to the inoon. To be sure, there la
hardly any theory that Is not objectud ι
to by somebody, but the theory that |
tidal action is due mainly to the pull
of I,una may be accepted "without a
reasonable doubt."

BIG VAUDEVILLE
REVIVAL HERE
Vaudeville devotees of Perth Am
boy were given Ave of the best acts
enjoyed here in some time at the .Ma
jestic theatre yesterday afternoon
and last night. One of the largest
iiouses for vaudeville * packed the
play house at both performances.
The big three minstrels, monarchs
of mirth and melody, furnished
plenty of comedy and latest songs.
Their dancing was of the best and re
ceived great applause. Murry's can
ine actors, one of the greatest animal
acts in vaudeville, Is truly a wonder
ful performance. The singing dng,
and it really seems to strike the
proper pitch at high "c" was a sur
prise for the grown-ups and a treat
for the young people.
Clivette, the man in black, pre
sented a novel European act, and
King Kollins and the Klifton Sisters,
banjoists, made a decided hit with
their snappy playing.
Too much credit ftinnot be said
for Miss Marian Kay, character
comedienne and impersonator in up
to date musical hits. Her version
of Bowery newsboy telling about his
dog, and writing to his sweetheart
made her a favorite with the large
audience.
Happy Hooligan was there too—
on the screen—and much laughter
followed his escapades.
