On Tuesday evening, Jan. 25, will occur the third entertainment in the course. This entertainer is Marcellice Yogi, a wonder worker of India. He has an assistant who plays the piano continuously and assists Marcellice in his different illusions. Some of the most wonderful features of his program are the East Indian tricks for which he is noted. The "Wonderful Snake Trick" is a striking example, which cannot be held by five men when Marcellice talks to it. He also gives demonstrations in scientific mind reading, mental telepathy and animal magnetism. His ventriloquism demonstrations are very amusing. The program is arranged as follows: Part 1, Miser's Dream; Part 2, Ventriloquism Comedy. Admission: 25 and 15 cents.

The Monday club had as its guests this week the Woman's Club of Hampton Falls. The club was entertained in the home of Mrs. Church, with Mrs. Locke and Mrs. Whittier as assistant hostesses. It was Reciprocity Day so the visiting club gave the program, which was an afternoon with George Eliot. Music was furnished very deliciously by Mrs. Young, Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Coffin. There were fifteen members present, and fourteen guests. Dainty refreshments were served by the hostesses and a very pleasant afternoon was enjoyed by all present.

It is a stirring romance of the gold regions where the stern law of every man for himself quickly separates the weak from the strong. Marvelous scenery. Wonderful photography and splendid acting all help to make this the best photoplay offering of the year. Same price, 10c.

One of the most successful and largely attended social events of the present season, was held at I.O.O.F. hall Thursday evening, Jan. 13, when the members of the Rockingham Lodge, with their families, to the number of about one hundred, gathered for a social time. A pleasing program was arranged, consisting of music, by the Sprague orchestra; vocal selections, Miss Mary A. Chase, of Hampton Falls; readings, Mrs. H. Porter Brown and L. M. Robinson of Hampton Falls; remarks by Rev. I. S. Jones, Ernest G. Cole, Charles Batchelder and others. After the entertainment an oyster supper was served, and the evening closed with an old fashioned dance. The affair was in charge of Senator Perkins, the Noble Grand of Rockingham Lodge, assisted by John F. Marston and L. Frank Stevens, as a general committee. The event was so greatly enjoyed that the wish was expressed by many, that this might be the forerunner of other events of a like nature in the near future.
