Campaign comes to a close. The vote

be very small In comparison to the
offer which began yesterday and ends
tonight x
A new yearly subscription to the
Banner turned in during these two
days, including today, will secure
fifty thousand extra votes. Two six-
xhonths subscriptions or four three-
months subscriptions count the same
as one yearly subecripion in this of
fer. Maybe a few subscriptions now
will make your standing more secure
at the end. Maybe you need just a
few subscriptions more to be suocess-
ful and it would be folly, indeed, to
pass this last big vote opportunity up
without at least making an effort.
Fifty thousand extra voted for anew
yearly subscription is a most liberal
one and should be borne in mind by
each and every candidate. There is
no telling which way thq straw will
be blown next Tuesday night when
the campaign closes and the awards
will he made known. A whirlwind
finish might save the day. A little ex
ertion would do no harm at any rate.

pons will be published in Sunday
morning’s Banner. Many gains have
been made by a-majority of the can
didates since the last publication of
the list and the standing tomorrow
will be scanned with much interest.
All candidates must have their taal-
lotes, issued to them for the securing
of subscriptions, in the official ballot
box at campaign headquarters before

that they can be counted by the

The Vaudette theatre, Mr. E. P.
S.one, manager, will open its doors to
the public today—the opening exer
cises to be formally conducted at 3
o’clock this afternoon.
The location of the new house is
generally known—the old Y. M. C. A.
building, which has been made over,
corner of Clayton street and Lump
kin.
The weather man Bays that it will
likely rain today—and the big lobby
of the Vaudette will be a welcome
refuge for shoppers and visitors. All
are Invited to take advantage of the
place as a rendezvous—cat of the
weather.
Mayor-Elect to Speak.
At 3 o’clock promptly the opening
exercises are to occur. Mayor-Elect
R. O. Arnold has consented to Intro
duce the house to the city over which
he will preside next year.
After his address, Miss Janie Mae
Webb will throw the switch which
will admit the current through the
lamp-house to the screen—for the
opening picture program in the hand
some new house.
"Between SaVage and Tiger.”
The admission will be 10 cents.
The first picture to be dhowu is
a feature Klein-Bdison six-reel pro
duction that is well worth seeing,
^‘Between Savage and Tiger.”
George Kleine’s production of the
Dines photo drama "Between Savage
and Tiger” Is a complete change from
anything Be has. ever presented and
affords a vivid and striking contrast
to “Quo Vadis,
Popmeii,” and
patra.”
‘^Between- Savage and Tigep” is a
tale of adventure and romance in the
jungles of India and abounds in thrill
ing and exciting scenes in which man-
eating tigers, water-buffalo, antelope,
elephants and other- wild animals play
a conspicuous part.
The story tells of a young officer
who is court-martialed and .dismissed
from the army for absenting himself
from his post of duty without leave, to
visit a sick wife and child. He wan
ders to India and is captured by a
tribe of savaghe who marvel at his
wonderful power as a marksman in
killing tigers and other animals who
have . been annoying to the tribe.
While in captivity, the daughter of
the chief falls in love with him and
there are other reasons for holding
him prisoner Meanwhile his wife and
child set out to find him and while at
sea are ship wrecked by the burning
of the vessel. They manage to reach
land through the aid of a faithful old
sailor. They happen to land on the
shores of India and after many ad
ventures reach the tribe where the
husband and father is held captive.
The unlor) is happy hut it clouded by
the jealousy of the chiefs daughter
who realizes there is no hope for her
with the young officer’s affections.
The balance of the story has to do
with the adventures that befall the
little family in their efforts to escape
to civilization once more.
