4-REEL FEATURE
SHOW SUNDAY
The four-reel feature film, “A Girl
From His Town,” followed by the one
reel comedy, ‘‘Mabel's Strange Predica
ment,” with Charlie Chaplin and Mabel
Normand in the leading roles, will be
the attraction at the Coliseum Sunday
evening, and promises to be one of the
best balanced entertainments offered to
the theater-going public this winter. ,
The story of “The Girl!.From His
Town” graphically illustrates the ever
lasting qualities of friendship, even tlio
the lives of the friends may travel widely
diverging paths. It is the story of a boy
and girl in a small town, between whom
a sincere friendship exists, and whose
lives gradually follow their respective
courses, until after several years they
meet again, and find that memory, in
stead of dimming has strengthened the
bonds of friendship until it has developed
into a pure and everlasting love. Charlie
and Mabel need no introduction to the
movie fans, and in ‘‘Mabel’sStrange Pre
dicament they are seen at their best. Feat
ure prices will prevail; general admission
50 cents and boxes and reserved balcony
seats 75 cents. I

HAS CLOSE SHAVE

thrilling escape from death in a most un
usual manner. As the work required
but a few minutes he did not remove the
cloth and while oiling the shaft it caught
and wound up, dragging him down and
choking him. He attempted to reach his
knife to cut the cloth, but before accomp
lishing this he fainted. When he came
to he was lying on the floor, the rapidly
revolving shaft having worn the cloth in
two. lie was unconscious about 15 min
utes..
