Tuomas A. Epison’s WONDERFUL 
TALKING Movine Picrures To BE 
Exuiritrep At B. F. Kerru’s 
THEATRE 
Without question the most notable 
capture ever made by Mr. B. F. 
Keith for his vaudeville circuit, is the 
arrangement entered into recently by 
the “Father of Vaudeville,” by which 
he has contracted to place in all the 
B. F. Keith theatres throughout the 
United States the latest and most 
wonderful invention of the celebrated 
wizard, Thomas A. Edison. This is Mr. 
Edison’s latest and in many respects 
his greatest invention , the Kineto- 
phone, or talking motion pictures. 
This scientific miracle is a perfect 
combination of his two former 
triumphs,—the moving picture and 
the talking machine. The new kine- 
tophone simultaneously projects sound 
and motion, producing an effect that 
is really remarkable. It is difficult to 
believe that the action depicted upon 
the screen, with the accompanying 
dialogue, music, and other sounds, 
are not reality itself. The two funct- 
ions of this wonderful invention are 
so perfectly synchronized that the 
talking moving picture is the marvel 
of the mechanical world, as well as a 
source of amusement to the amuse- 
_ment-seeking public. Just as Mr. 
Keith was the first manager to see the 
possibilities of Mr. Edison’s biograph, 
and the first to exploit it in New Eng- 
land, so has he secured the first rights 
to exhibit this latest marvel. The 
wonderful talking pictures will be 
shown for the first time in Boston at 
B. F. Keith’s theatre within the next 
few weeks. The electricians are hard 
at work installing the machines, and 
the exact date will be announced 
shortly in the daily papers.

Doric form of the Greek word 
“Kodos,” meaning “one who suffers

(4) Or is it from another Greek 
word, “Kados,’ which may mean

Some people are as unpopular as a 
last year’s popular song. 
A girl doesn’t think much of her 
parents’ idea of marriage. 
EMPIRE THEATRE, SALEM. 
The Lonergan players, the new per- 
manent stock company, will begin an 
unlimited season at the Empire thea- 
tre, Salem, Monday evening, Feb. 17. 
Since the first anonuncement some 
days ago of the coming of this at- 
traction, the box office at the Empire 
has been besieged with inquiries, as 
to the personnel of the company, the 
plays to be presented and other de- 
tails. 
This is the best kind of evidence 
that there is a demand locally for a 
company to present the big plays at 
a moderate price. Lester Lonergan, 
who directs this company, in addi- 
tion to one of the Lowell Opera house, 
is enthusiastic about its merits. Mr. 
Lonergan has had a long experience 
in the leading companies in this 
country, including a two years’ en- 
gagement in New Bedford. In speak- 
ing of the Salem company, Mr. Lon- 
ergan was most enthusiastic. He 
feels certain that Salem is to have an 
acting company that will rank with 
any in this country, and only the 
big plays that have enjoyed long runs 
in the $2 theatres, with first class 
companies, will be played. 
Grace George’s success, “A woman’s 
way,” has been selected as the open- 
ing bill.
