The bright and ivirticular star of the whole show is "Happy Jack" Lambert, and this young man has a bright future. He has a good voice and his make-up Is most excellent The impersonation of the country hand was extremely clever while “The Rosary" on the saxophone was one of the sweet eat pieces ever heard in the local Opera House. It seemed to the writer that there lacked the grand finale to the show show which It should have had. The curtain went down with many wondering If It wasn't Just another in termission. A minstrel show, some what like a musical comedy In that music sod dancing are Ihe principal tent lives, should close In a blaze of glory, with the most popular air of the entire performance being played. That Inst look should be one that will linger. All in all the show was pleasing. Augus tan* wish the "two old boye”—Rrlm rose and Wilson - the best of lock. T. J. H. ARCHAEOLOGIST DEAD.

Synopsis of Tommorrw’s Pioture. Following is a synopsis of the picture at the Strand tomorrow, “Ready Mon ey," for which everybody struggles: Stephen Baird, a mining engineer and popular man about town, goes to Beek his fortune. Arriving at Gallup, a mining town, he becomes acquainted with Mike Reardon, a big, good-natured prospec tor. Mike, taking a liking to Steve, and seeing in him a good, square part ner. arranges to go with him and to gether they set out in quest of gold. While making camp, the first night out, they come across the abandoned workings of the Skyrocket mines. Steve decides to explore it. Finding a piece of rock, which he believes con tains gold, he persuades Mike to look it over, and although Mike is certain that it is worthless, he goes about his work In a business-like manner and comes to the conclusion that the tun nels have been driven In the wrong direction. On th*e strength of their conviction, Steve goes to the owner of the proper ty and purchases it for thirty thousand dollars, of which he pays one-third down and he Immediately leaves for New York to secure the remaining twenty thousand dollars to complete the purchase. James Morgan, a mim'ng operator of doubtful character, who owns mines adjoining the Skyrocket, discovers, through the development of hls own property, that a vein of ore In his mine extends on through the claim controll ed by Steve, and then learns that Steve that Steve Is the owner of the Sky rocket property. In New York, Steve has made the acquaintance of Jackson Ives, with plenty of money, who agrees to pur chase fifty thousand dollars worth of stock In Steve’s mine Since his ar rival In New York, things have been been going very bad with Steve, and have reached the crisis where he is compelled to accept the hospitality of a friend and give up hls own rooms. New Year's Eve comes and finds Steve downhearted and • melancholy, but Jackson Ives fulfills his promise and gives Steve fifty thousand dollars for an interest in the property. Norene St. Clair and E. E. Pollock, in "The Pipp,” at the Bijou Monday and Tuesday SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29* Steve’s friends, including Grace Ty ler, come to the apartments to try and persuade him to Join them at a party and, seeing Steve with fifty thousand dollars in bills lying on the desk, they immediately assume that he struck gold, and implore him to accept their checks in payment for stocks In his company, which they had heretofore refused to purchase. Jackson Ives, for a number of years, has been s uspeeted by the government as a counterfeiter, but the detectives had never been able to catch him “with the goods.” On this particular night they had trailed him from the hotel to Steve’s apartments and break In on them just as Ives gives the huge bun dle of bills to Steve. By using a little strategy, Steve is enabled to slip the money into an envelope, addresses it to Grace Tyler, his sweetheart, and slips it into a mail pouch. After a thorough search of the room, finding nothing, the detectives depart and Steve and Ives join the New Year's party in a nearby restaurant. Meanwhile Mike Reardon, with in creased force, is working night and day to discover gold. Morgan learns this and fearing that Reardon will un cover the vein of ore which he knows to be there, causes an explosion in the Skyrocket mine .which, instead of act ing as an Injury, uncovers the huge vein of gold. The report scatters and wealth pours in on Steve and Mike and their partners. Jackson Ives, instead of being • counterfeiter, is proven a man of un limited wealth and, despite the activi ties of the secret service officers, he proves his honesty and becoming a partner of Steve's remains ever at his side, even when Steve takes Grace Ty ler in his arms and asks her the all important question, to which she smil ingly answers "yes, dear.” CLEAR MYSTERY, MINE SOWING London.—'The British admiralty, it is believed, has solved the mystery of the sowing of mines off the North coast of Ireland. British ships have arrested two trawlers, one a Norwe gian and the other Spanish, which made their headquarters at Fleet wood, on the English coast of the Irish Sea, on a charge of having laid the mines which proved so disastrous to British and neutral shipping. It has been suspected that the mines were laid by vessels flying neutral flags, but it was hardly thought they were making a British port their headquarters. P. 0.
