COMING TO THE 
BOSTON THEATRE 
MACLYN ARBUCKLE 
IN 
“THE ROUND-UP” 
SPECIAL PRICES 
The attraction at the Boston Theatre 
beginning Easter Monday, March 24, will 
be the return of Maclyn Arbuckle in Klaw 
& Erlanger’s massive production, “The 
kound-Up.” The theatrical annals of Bos- 
ton do not record such a towering success 
as “The Round-Up.” It is the Great 
American Play of the hour. Every char- 
acter and scene in the piece breathes the 
life of the great Southwest. The enthusi- 
astic interest displayed by every audience 
is the most flattering endorsement this 
really great production can receive. The 
battle scene in the third act is a stupendous 
stage effect, the like of which has never 
been seen before. ‘The appearance of 
twenty mounted Indians riding along a 
ledge of rock far above the stage level is a 
thrill indeed, but it is far surpassed in the 
great incident at the end of the third act, 
when “Slim” Hoover, the sheriff, and a 
troop of cavalrymen are shown in an actual 
hand-to-hand fight with a band of Apache 
Indian marauders escaped from their reser- 
vation. There have been great thrills pre- 
sented on the Boston stage in yvars past, 
but nothing that touches this in point of 
realism has ever been seen in any theatre 
in the world. In the last act a group of 
cowboys are shown riding bucking broncos. 
This, too, is a novelty never before seen in 
what is termed an indoor attraction. 
The magnitude of this production is such 
that it can only be played in a few cities 
and in the largest theatres. Its perfor- 
mances at the Boston are the only oppor- 
tunities those living within a reasonable 
journey of Boston will have of seeing this 
tremendous dramatic sensation, So great 
is the demand for seats from those living 
at a distance from Boston that a special 
bureau has been established for the expe- 
ditious handling of mail orders, which 
when sent with cash or money order and 
accompanied by addressed, stamped envel- 
ope, receive immediate attention. Regular 
matinees Wednesday and Saturday. 
Special Prices will prevail during “The 
Round-Up” engagement—25c, 50c, 75c and 
$1.00. No seat over $1.00. Seat Sale

WILL: SUPPORT BILL 
* H.C. Lopcr Awarts ACTION ON PEN- 
SION MEASURE 
There has been considerable inter- 
est locally in the fate of the bill to 
pension the widows of Spanish war 
veterans. The following letter, writ- 
ten by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge to 
Arthur F. Salmon of Lowell under 
date of March 13, explains the situa- 
tion. 
My Dear Sir—I have received your 
letter of the ninth. The bill grant- 
ing pensions to widows of Spanish 
war veterans was favorably reported 
by the senate committee but, on ac- 
count of the many other matters 
pending, no action was taken upon it 
by the senate. It is not likely that 
any legislation of that kind will be 
taken up at the special session, but 
I shall certainly consider it with care 
if it comes before us at any time. 
Very truly yours, 
H. C. Lopes. 
ANNIVERSARY WEEK av B. K. Kerrn’s 
THEATRE. 
Exactly nineteen years ago next 
Monday, March 24th, the doors of B. 
F. Keith’s beautiful theatre were 
thrown open to the public for the first 
time. For the week beginning with 
the anniversary of this epoch-making 
event in th history of American 
vaudeville, Mr. Keith has arranged a 
stupendous all-star bill, one that is 
thoroughly typical of the tremendous 
strides made in vaudeville in the past 
two decades. Henry Woodruff, the 
popular legitimate actor, and former 
star of “Brown of Harvard,” will 
make his vaudeville debut in a one- 
act comedy playlet by John Stokes, 
entitled, “A Regular Business Man.” 
This is a merry comedy dealing with 
the mishaps that befall a.young mil- 
lionaire who decides to break into 
business via his father’s office, “just 
like a regular business man.” The 
youngster stcceeds in his purpose. 
He not onlv becomes a regular busi- 
ness mar hut wins the heart and hand 
of a pretty stenographer in his father’s 
office. The novelty of the week will 
be Travailla Brothers and their won- 
derful Diving Seal, “Winks,” ‘who 
performs most startling feats beneath 
the water in a mammoth glass tank. 
W. C. Fields, the silent humorist, just 
returned from Europe, will be another 
’ big feature. and Dolly Connolly and 
Percy Wenrich, the song writer, have 
a series of new popular song hits. 
James Leonard and Co. will present 
“When Ham Lets Her,” an amusing 
travesty on Shakespeare’s immortal 
tragedy.

PROBABLY RIGHT 
School children know a great deal 
more than they used to do. In fact, 
some of them, in their own opinions, 
at least, are quite capable of tutoring 
their tutors. 
“Those kiddies I teach are as know- 
ing as an encyclopedia,” said a teacher 
a week or two ago. . 
“In what way?” asked his friend. 
“Well,” replied the scholastic per- 
son, the other day I set a problem in 
arithmetic—A rich man dies and 
leaves a million pounds. One-fifth is 
to go to his wife, one-fifth to his son, 
one-eighth to his brother, and the rest 
to the hospitals. What does each 
get Pp” 
“Yes?” queried the friend, not very 
interested. 
“Back came the reply from the 
svallest boy in the class: ‘A lawyer, 
Sires 
Enough for One Day. — “O moth- 
er,” cried a youngster who had been 
visiting an elder brother in school, 
‘T learned lots to-day.” “What was 
one thing you learned?” asked the 
parent. “] learned in the ’rithmetic 
class,” was the reply, “that the square 
of the base and perpendicular of a 
right-handed triangle is equal to the 
suv of the hippopotamus.” —Chicago 
Tribune.
