See the Copelands in their original up to date musical act, "Chords in a Chinese laundry." Brumage and Clark, the leaders in their line of comedy sketches. Walter Jones, negro impersonations and buck dancing extraordinary. Walters and Edwards, etc.
The great Amet magniscope, the wonder and rage of the present century projecting, with all the movements of life beautiful animated pictures. Among the most popular pictures are, "The Run to the Fire," "Black Diamond Express Train," "Tub Race," etc.
The electric stereoptican, illustrating all the late popular ballads, is a novelty which in itself is well worth the price of admission. The program as it stands is one of the most novel, interesting and sensational before the public today.

WAS A RARE TREAT.
The Moving Picture Entertainment Largely Attended and Highly Appreciated.
The Polyscope moving picture machine which exhibited at the Davidson theatre last night was a success in every feature. The pictures were good and the large crowd in attendance was highly pleased. The program contained some magnificent scenes. The first thrown on the canvass was that of William Jennings Bryan at his home in Lincoln, Neb., receiving friends. The commoner could plainly be seen walking about his yard and shaking hands with his political friends. The scene of Admiral Dewey's return was another excellent one. The great hero could be seen bowing to the right and left as he I wheeled through the streets of New York. The falling snow in this was especially noticeable. The runs of the Denver fire department were so plain that one fellow in the audience recognized an acquaintance who was to be seen standing on a street corner chatting with friends. This was one of the best pictures of the program. That of Fort Scott's crack fire department was a fine one also. Every move of the horses and men could be seen and this picture elicited applause from the audience. The W. O. W. drill team in their drill work was the last one thrown on the canvass. Every member of the team could be recognized by the audience. The entertainment was a financial success and the funds derived will be used in transporting the drillers to the world fair.
