AUDITORIUM Building the Panama Canal. 'Tim faith that can remove moun tains" has been deni oust ruled in the most heroic way si nee the dawn of time at tlie Panama canal, and it should he a matter of pride to every American that it is Uncle Sam who jjave the demonstration and that, too, for the benefit of the whole world. Of course, Uncle Sam had to exercise something more than mere faith, .lust what was this "somethin ■ more’’ will he shown by Lyman II. Howe at the Auditorium theater on Monday and Tuesday, August ill and Septem ber I. 1 tnt itis not aione because we us Americans successfully took this "liberty with nature” that Mr. Howe's reproduction should he witnessed by everyone, nor even because it opens a new corridor from east to west a new highway of immense interna tional importance. It is rather b‘> entise it impresses on every mind an invaluable object lesson in the most vivid way imaginable of what ten acity of purpose, dtermlnation and pa lienee can accomplish when com bimd witli American ingenuity, skill, inventions, systematic work, sanit.'l lion and executive ability. No era in ancient, mediaeval or modern history lias witnessed the consummation of a task so gigantic. None will see an other like it for centuries tn cone , and when it is remembered t hat the it production Mr. Howe presents is the only one that portrays the prodi gious work adequately in all its phases and that it is the only time lie will present it lore, the Impor tance of this engagement cannot be overstated. Gay Morning Glories Burlesque at the Auditorium. The big first burlesque of tile sea son wl.l be seen at the Auditorium on next Friday night, September I. when the "(lay Mofning dories” w;ll be the first play of tills kind to oe si en in Hot Springs this or any other season.

Tliev have this season inaugurated a southern annex or wheel taking in At lunla, Illrrninghum, Memphis, New Orleans and many of the large -cities that can play these shows the full week, and in doing so, they lose a week's time between Kansas City and Memphis, and it is the idea of the towns interspersed to play these at tractions a night in each week. The towns ttint will no doubt get the en tire output of these shows are Little Hock, Cine Bluff, Hot Springs, Fort Smith and Springfield, Mo, Some of the best comedians in the profession are to be seen in the burlesque lino. The piays are finely equipped as to scenery and costumes, and the prices are to be most reasonable in each In stance. THE AIRDOME The Ferguson Stock Company, now playing at the Airdome, are meeting with splendid success, weather per mitting. Kndi night that the weather Is fine they are greeted by a large audience who seem to eujoy these gentlemen with tlicir most excellent company. Tin.

Last summer this was the ban ner attraction at the Airdome and played continuously for six weeks, and until the great tire of Septem ber a. They are now in their third week and will no doubt be with us for sev eral weeks as they have many of their best plays in their huge reper toire that have not as yet been played. The plays this week will in clude “Kentucky Feud’’ tonight, which is a winner; “The Dlack Flag,” a great play which will lie given nu Thursday night; ’The Kn Klux Klan," which is the intense hill for Friday night, and on Saturday night, some thing to go homo and sleep Hate on Sunday morning, that greatest of Richard Mansfield’s successes, “Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde,’’ and from what the writer saw’ in Mr. ICddie Fergu son’s portrayal of the character of Sveugaii in “Trilby,” lie will lie some Dr. .lekyl and Mr. Hyde. Trices the same as usual. LYRIC THEATER Eddie Lyons ami Victoria Ford never fail to attract a discriminating audience at the Lyric and in their of fering today they ought to pack the house. "A Lucky Deception,” two te. I Nestor, is the title of the film in which they appear today and those who admire tills popular pair of stars will more than like them today. "The Divorcee.” from Powers, a film of the comedy drama order, is a marvel of its kind.

"Tlie Trey o' Hearts," tin- next big serial picture and story w ill tie shown at the Lyric next week. The first in stallment of tlic story will appear in The Sentinc. Ui cord next Sunday morning. How Would You Break a Alan’s Nerve With a Playing Card? Alaric Trine sought his revenge armed with a single playing card.

The Trey 0’ Hearts By LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE The most extraordinary moving picture play ever pro duced. It cost a big price to get it for this community, but we have it, and you can see it In weekly installments at THE LYRIC THEATRE EARTHQUAKE FILM THRILLS THOUSANDS great feature coming to NEW CENTRAL THFATRE THURSDAY. The great earthquake film is thrill ing thousands. It comes for the first time to the New Central Thursday, ft is in five reels and how the producers managed to get the startling effects in the same are beyond the comprehension of any out; seated in the audience, for the equal in this respect has never before been seen. t The title of this picture is ‘'From Fire to Fortune; or, The Sunken Vil la-e,” and in the same there is seen an earthquake effect that is simply startling, for it costs something to make the earth open up and houses, cottages and p.aees of business dis appear, and that is what is seen in this feature. Sidney M. Nutt, proprietor of the New Central, has promised some very startling effects in the picture, and Tex Griffin and Carl Hansen, at the piano and drums, respectively, have gone in for a light course of training in order to make the picture even more realistic. It is a feature that should duplicate the great success it has achieved in other cities, where, when shown, it has packed the thea ters front the first to the last show. (Advt.) o OFFICERS ACTING AS I’HOTOGKAPHFHS AERO SCOUTS TAKING PICTURES FOR FRENCH AND GERMAN FORCES AT FRONT. The banishment of war corres pondents from the armies now fight ing each other in ISurope has added another burden to the newspapers, for man of the trained war reporters were expected to send in whenever opportunity offers as many pictures as they could get past the censor, and now, since the correspondents have been relegated to the rear, it develops on those In charge of the aeroplanes to do this feature. To take a picture from an aeroplane oi dirigible requires the very best of cameras, those that are ‘‘sure fire," with the very latest and approved .< use, und in work of this nature the Ansco leads. That is why many of the cameras now engaged in ‘•shout ing up" fortifications over there ire the Ansco. The reason that Anseo lias the call in warfare as well as in peace is because it is the very best camera made, and the reason why you see so many Ansco cameras in i.se in Hot Springs is because the It G. Morris Drug Company has secured the agency for this camera and the work that their developing room turns out is tlie kind that is givins the b • st satisfaction. Stop in the store and note the pictures that this camera lias taken and see the high grade work that the Morris store is turning out in this respect. (Advt.) FEDERAL SHIPPING BILL.
