On account of tlie New' Year holiday,
and xlso so everyone may have the
pleasure of witnessing the big show at
the New Modoska, the management has
decided to offer four complete perform

The Big Picture Event cf the Year.
To quote a recently published editor
rial, "What would you give to be abso
lutely certain today of what would hap
pen tomorrow," there is probably no
person, man, woman or child, in the
world who would not risk possibly their
lives for one little peep into the future.
Advance information has b 'on the
of over 50 per cent of all the great
fortunes in the world. It is a historical
fact that the fortune of the Rothschilds,
the greatest individual fortune in Great
Britain, was founded upon advance in
formation secured by a member of that
famous family of the defeat of Napoleon
at Waterloo.
Probably one-half the world today is in
some sense interested in the experiments
of the people who are endeavoring to
read the future by communicating with
spirits or by some other method, and the
other half of the world is sitting eagerly
back, awaiting *’*• of these ex
periments before they, too, become ac
tively interested.
Many of the leading ministers of the
world hold that if the Creator had In
tended that humanity should know its
future, some method would have been
provided by which the future could easi
ly be read. Those who are endeavoring
New Big Special Bill Opens Today at Imperial

The management announces an extra
ordinary b'g ICetth attraction at the lm

Soldier Fiddlers, one of the most amus
ing. entertaining acts on the American
vaudeville stage. The act is composed
of four old «' vil War veterans who are
grifted musicians, who offer a clever act
that’s full of Patriotism and comedy that
ir t'eil of life and ginger from start to
finish. They play and sing- the old tunes
bff re the war. The only original act
of Its kind which was originated by Col.
John A. Patter at Huntinton, W. Va., In
1910. It is an act that should not he
missed b any person, young or old, as
it t* aches a lesson in patriotism besides
being instructive to the younger genera
tion. Francis and Hume, another big
timer In their own originality, “Just
Happyings’’, will prove big. They are a
snappy ir of vivacious youngsters fill

gists maintain that if the future can be

today is based upon the gamble inherent
in all people as to what the morrow will

In the forthcoming production '‘Eyes
of Youth", with Clara Kimball Young
the exciting events of the story are bas
ed upon the opportunity given the hero
ine to read her own future through the
asistance of Yogi, who teaches her the
mysteries of crystal gazing, and in this
way she is able to avoid the mistakes
that would have been her lot had she fol
lowed one of the many opportunities of

“Eyes of Young" is one of the most
gripping productions in years, because,
in addition to being one of the most fa
mous plays of the year, as well as one
of the best and most elaborate produc
tions of Miss Young’s entire screen car
reer. the development of the story will
show in a new and startling way the
possibilities of reading the future
through the process of crystal gazing.

they are trying to please, and every
where they have been the verdict is the
same. Their attempt is realized with a
vengeance. Hector, the dog welder who
really reads your mind, you say this is
impossible; well the management will
take pleasure In having this wonderful
dog carried to any newspaper office or
school and there give the same identical
act as he will on the stage. -Lee Stod

imitations, will complete the bill, and
after seeing it you will agree that it is
tl'.a best yet offered, and one that will
take many months, yes years, to equal.
COMING TO THE GRAND
“THE RAINBOW GIRL.**
That radiant musical comedy, “The
Rainbow Girl”, will come to The Grand
Saturday night, January 10th. Men of
established reputation worked together
to make “The Rainbow Girl” what it Is
—one of the most delightful musical en
tertainments of these times. They are
Jerome K. Jerome, who wrote the story;
Rennold Wolf, who fitted It for the lyric
stage; Louis A. Hirsch, who composed
the score; Joseph Urban, who created
the interior decorations; Herbert Grosh
am, who arranged the dramatic action,
and Julian Mitchell, who directed the
groupings and terpaichorean feats. Klaw
and Erlanger are its producers.
Claim is made that tho chorus of 'The
Rainbow Girl” is the beautiful in
the world; if youth with Its attributes—
grace, agility, spirit, spontaneity, b'd for
beauty. The physical and spiritual
beauty of the feminine chorus is said to
be accentuated by an exuberance of col
or and transpicuous costuming. The
lighting effect is a delight and combines
to make this entertainment one of the
most perfect musical comedies of the
past seasons. Grace Walsh sings the
name part; she is the youngest prima
donna in this country', Billy B. Van
and Sydney Greenstreet embody the
whimsicality and drollery of the lines
and situations.
