The action all takes place ? a puiTtmer hotel in the dead of win " a ict which in itself is sufficient ly 'un'isual. Hither comes one Billy Plays the authpr. ; Altogether this company promises as well as the flrst. And- the play itself is great fun. tt. A ke Victoria Today. Se a trite expression Wilming ton theatre-goers- have gone "crazy" atoout the present fine attraction hold ing, forth at the Victoria Theatre. The attraction Is .'the--, well known McLeod and McDonald Musical Comedy Compa ny - and it has already won its way to the hearts and admiration of the folks of this city.. This was attested by large audiences of yesterday and which showered the performances with most appreciative applause and spoke in the highest commendation of it. Today an all-new show, goes on; the' company presenting, a new bill. ' It is the well known farce comedy, "The Battle of No.tJEet",, which has been set to music, so, to spea, and; it is a dandy in every way. There is plenty of laughter and an abundance of melody. And, by the way, the company is by long odds the greatest singing organization that has ever graced the stage of the Victoria. this splendid rule. Today a great show will be offered the hundreds of follow era of this, .Wilmington's handsomest theatre. Five big pictures will make up the show. It will be a quintet of fllmdom's greatest and finest. Leading the, big procession today will be that clever and popular actor, Maurice Cos tell o, who will be seen ma superb one act playlet, "The Understudy, or Be hind the Scenes." It is a story of stageland that is simply great and will fascinate .every onlooker. Another big star of today's show is charming Mabel-- Trunnelle, - who will appear in "Olive and the Heirloom," something decidedly dainty and "very choice. ! There is another great dramatic on today in Essanay's "The Creed of i the Clan." It is the story of "a man accus ed of murder but. saved through the perjury of a young man, who remem bers that the accused paid for the bur ial of his mother. It is a beautiful, in tense story that . will reach every' heart. There Is still another that will grip the mind in the Biograph's "Fate's Protecting Army." with Augusta An derson and, H. Herbert in the stellar roles. The story has its beginning with a burglary. Added to these gems for today is the very latest Hearst-Selig Pictorial Re ibottolleinie as Imo,vOT what as oir a com over a n ' N Cottolene established a class of its own over a generation ago. Cottolene was in the front rank of the great movement for bet tering household service and for improving food products. Cottolene t has always held its place. There is nothing to which it may be compared. There are no secrets in the production of Cottolene. Its manufacture and its constituents; are as well known as the simplest things done in every kitchen. Cottolene is an exact combination of the two finest cooking fats nature produces. The cotton seed oil in Cottolene is pressed from selected seed it is a grade so choice that it is not listed on the market It is purer, sweeter and better in food value than most salad oils. The beef stearine is the product of the freshest, finest! leaf beef suet known. It is the exact combination of these two fats which gave Cottolene its high place over a quarter of a century ago, and which has held this place for it Cottolene is economical, but better than that it actually improves the quality and flavor of all foods cooked with it whether it is used for shortening, frying or cake making.
