Har ry Dixon Jeweler & Optometrist,
To provide entertainment at the
Crystal Wednesday, "Mutiny," tho
Bluo Bird featiiro. has been secured
As tho title would indicate it Is a story
of the sea, but there is a mutiny of love

than does tho realistic rebellion on
ship board. Myrtle Gonzalez, Val Paul
and George Hernandez will feature
at tho head of a largo and skillful
company.
"Tho Seventh Sin," tho last of the
"Seven Deadly Slna," will bo sha.vn
at the Keith tonight. It is a seven

that have played In tho other "Sins"
play in this ono, so that It contains
Btars galore. Unlike ninny of tho
series, tho best conies last in this one.
A3 to what tho "Seventh Sin" is it had
been kept a dark secret, but suffico it
to say that Shirley Mason has passed
through forces of temptation and
reaches tho most withering blazo of
all. If she lights through this, happi
ness forever lies ahead. Lower Hoor 20
and 10 cents. Balcony 10 cents.
