Next Week at Ellis Theatre.

The Cornell-Price Players will be in Rensselaer for one week beginning Monday night, Dec. 30, presenting all new plays with new vaudeville acts each night during their engagement. The company comes to the Ellis Theatre highly recommended, press reports speaking very flatteringly of the work, and of the company members personally. Happy Hal Price and Florence Madeira head the company and are both exceptionally clean. Mr. Price is a comedian who' ranks among the very best, while Miss Madeira is a leading woman of unusual ability and personal charm. On Monday night for their initial performance ‘The Maid and the Minister” will be presented. The play is extra good and the company gives a good production of it. Six big vaudeville'Wets in addition to the regular show will be given. A special holiday matinee on New Years afternoon besides the regular Saturday matinee. Ladies will be admitted free on Monday night if accompanied by party holding a paid 30c ticket. Seats on sale at Jessen’s Jewelry Store. Prices 10c, 20c and 30c. A plot to wreck the Denver mint, where approximately $500,000,000 is stored, was frustrated by the discovery of the plans two weeks ago on the floor of a room near the federal building.

Governor Donaghey, of Arkansas, broke all pardon records Monday night by pardoning 316 state convicts and 44 county convicts. At the same time he made public a message which he will submit to the legislature next month giving his reasons for almost emptying the penitentiary. William J. Milroy, of Chatsworth, 111, Monday night won the Breen medal test and the right to represent Notre Dame in the Indiana state oratorical contest next spring with an oration entitled *The Economic Redemption.” This is his second capture-of the honor.
