Arlington Commedians
Phelau opera house, May 25 and 26.

opera house for two nights commenc
ing Tuesday, May 25. They will
open with tho great cotnedy.tnelodrama
in lour acts entitled "A Runaway
Tramp." Tho Salt Lake Deseret News
of a recent date says: "The Grand
theatre is fortunate in being able to re
tain such an all around good company
as Manager Arlington offers. They
inaugurated their second "week on
Sunday with a fine presentation of the
melodramatic comedy, "A Runaway
Tramp," to an audience that filled
every available seat, and gave their
emphatic seal of approval to the per
fonnauce by tho heartiest applause.
The play is a clean, southern play of
home life, with just enough melodrama
to admit of several strikingly effective
stage settings, and a number ot intense
situations, which are thoroughly well
handled. A brilliant specialty by the
three clever vaudeville children made
an emphatic hit. It was a very enjoy,
able production, and will undoubtedly
draw the fullest patronoge during the
week, as it deserves it." During their
engagement hero there will be a change
of play and specialties each evening.
Prices will be 500-3 5c-25c Reserved
scats on sate at Holstcn's.

An exchange says: "A temperance
writer claims that the moving picture
shows have proven powerful enemies
to the saloons. The theory advanced
is that the saloon gets a large part of
its patronage from the poor people who
use it as a club room. The five and
ten cent shows have furnished a con
venient and entertaining substitute. If
this claim is true the picture shows
should receive the moral support of
temperance people." If the above
theory is correct Alliance should be a
temperance town no matter how many
saloons we may have. There aro now
three moving pictures shows with a
prospect of a fourth.
