Some Rare Curios at Shepherds. 
There are few people who are 
proof against the fascinations of fine 
collections of bric-a-braec, and among 
collectors of all kinds of Art Works, 
the frequenting of such exhibitions 
amounts almost to a mania. Oppor- 
tunities to revel in such along the 
North Shore are rare enough, but 
there is one in Magnolia which is 
not equalled by any other in New 
England. The Collection gives evi-

dence of discriminating taste, and 
includes many pieces of rare quality, 
and some that are not to be found 
elsewhere. Some lovely Old Jew- 
elry, Laces and Silver in _ hand- 
made pieces of finest quality. A 
beautiful old Wedding or Dower 
Chest of 17th Century make, some 
Candelabra in Metal and Wood, Em- 
broideries in Old Stuffs and colors 
that come from age only. Old 
Frames, Mirrors, Pictures and hun- 
dreds of Art Objects, all with the 
one quality of genuineness that per- 
vades the entire shop. 
The New National Theatre. 
Karly next month the National 
Theatre, the largest vaudeville the- 
atre in the world, will open in Bos- 
ton for its first performance. This 
new theatre, which has a_ seating 
capacity of 3,500 people, is located 
near the corner of Tremont and 
Berkeley streets. It will be devoted 
to high class vaudeville from the 
United Booking Offices of America. 
This company controls all the best 
and biggest acts in American vaude- 
ville. Two performances will be 
given daily, and prices at the mat- 
inees will be five and ten cents. 
Evening prices are five, ten and fif- 
teen cents. Because of the great 
seating capacity of the National 
Theatre, the management is enabled 
to give high class vaudeville at low 
prices. 
Out of town patrons will find it 
easy to reach the National Theatre. 
All cars leaving the North Station 
subway station for Tremont street 
pass the theatre. South Boston, 
Cambridge, and Columbus Avenue 
cars reach the theatre. It is only a 
two minutes ride from the Dover 
street elevated station, and the 
Back Bay station is five minutes 
walk. 
Work on the Panama-California 
Exposition, 1915, to be held in San 
Diego, has actually begun. Presi- 
dent Taft, by proxy, turned the first 
spadeful of earth, by special invita- 
tion of Director-General D. OC. 
Collier. Now there will quickly 
arise in Balboa Park, within sight 
of the great ocean which the canal 
will link with the Atlantic, a city 
such as the Mission Fathers a cen- 
tury and a half ago may have seen 
in their pious visions foretelling the 
destiny of the goodly land they were 
invading with the cross and the arts 
of peace. Here all the nations of 
the new world expect to unite in 
one of the greatest exponents of the 
victory of civilization that the world 
has yet seen.
