"Mrs. TemHe's Telerjram" Gennett. "Mrs. Temple's Telegram" will be the attraction at the Gennet next

Friday night. It is doubtful if ever a play and players have given the satisfaction that is attributed to "Mrs. Temple's Telegram," and the presenting conpanv by the rress and nnblic of New York and Chicago, where the piece recently closed a three months run. Clean, clever, ilways brimming with mirth, funny situa- J

tions, stories within stories and contrapuntal evolutons set a pice of action which sneeds along with precise art and exact measurements, that makes one of the most delightful battles of mischief ever witnessed. Peautiful and elaborpte -?tage settings ad an actine comr"ny of uniform excellence add in lustre to the refined organization. "The Man on the Box" Gennett. Henry E. Dixey in Harold Mac Gratb's famous novel, "The Man on the Box," dramatized by Grace L. F"rn?ss, comes to the Gennett next Monday nieht. This nlay has achieved the greatest comedy succs scored In either New York or Chicago, of any production in the past three years and as Walter N. Lawrence gives his personal guartee that the great acting company which supported Mr. Dixey in both those cities

will be seen absolutely intact here, seats will be at a premium long beforp the curtain goes up. "Good acting and plenty of it." Alan Dale. "A triumph" New York Sun. "A play to see again." Chicago Examiner. "Dixey makes them laugh." Chicago Evening Post. "A delightful comedy, beautifully acted." Chicago Tribune. The above are only . a few of the newspaper criticisms given Mr. Dixey in "The Man on the Box." "Under Southern Skies." Gennett. "Under Southern Skies" which will be given at the Gennett on next Wednepday night needs no introduction to our theatre goers. It has been seen in our city and its merits are so well known that the announcement of its return is sufficient to insure a crowded house. "Under Southern Skies" has proved the gre-tst in point of popularity and ho ises, of all the recent plays of southern life. It has had five sea-

While Miss Ford has the distinction of being the only lady expert in the world she is no doubt a wonder as she accomplished her work with the number of cuffs that were locked on her in a remarkably short space of time and also after being locked in a pair of automatic cuffs she opened them in full view of those present, with a pocket knife, borrowed from one of the officers. Mr. Don Ford was also locked in a pair of Bean' Grant cuffs in various positions and easily escaped. This cuff cannot be opened with the key in the pijoners own fingers. He was also locked in a position used in Russia for sending prisoners to the Siberian mines and experienced bat lttle difficulty in escaping. Their work at police headquarters easily dpmonptrated that they are- the greatest experts in thir peculiar line of work in the world.
