LOIE FULLERWESTERN CAM 81320 Acres Instead of 160AcresRECENTLY DISCOVERED NEW METHOD OF STAGE LIGHTINGTHAT PROMISES SUCCESS.tWILL INTRODUCE IT ON 1HIS SIDEReturns to America to DemonstrateDiscovery to American StageManagers—Discovery Said to be Wonderful—Here a Week.As further inducement to settlement of the Wheat-raising land* of Western Canada, the Canadian Government has increased the area that may be taken by a homesteader to 320 acres— 160 free and 160 to be purchased at only $3.00 per acre.These lands are in the grain-raising area, where mixed farming: is also carried on with unqualified success.A railway will shortly be built to Hudson Bay, bringing the world’s markets a thousand miles nearer these wheat fields, where schools and churches are convenient, climate excellent, railways close to all settlements, and local markets good.It would take time to assimilatethe revelations that a visit to thegreat empire lying to the North of us unfolded at every turn.** Cor re*be intheBos*newMiss Lole Fuller, who has startled the operatic world with her dancing has now another revelation in store tor the theatre going public.She lias just arrived in New York with an invention or discovery of new methods of stage lighting and scenery. fMiss Fuller was a former Monmouth girl and for the past eight years has been abroad. This is her first visit to America in that time and she is here only for a week this time. She Ls here to interest American theatrical men in her new lighting scheme and is to ton this week introducing ideas.The following from the new York Telegraph will be read with interest Ijy many friends of Miss Fuller here:Loie Fuller is back.She arrived Wednesday evening on the Amerika with Henry Russell of the Boston Opera Company and several of the song birds he- is bringing over to astonish America with.It :s eight years since Miss Fuller was in the United States and she has been doing a lot in that time. She has built a big laboratory in Paris, where she is at work much of the time, studying the chemistry oflight, and has for her confidantes and assistants-such people as Camille Flammarion, Madame Curie and scientists of that calibre.Miss Fuller is to supply the ballet for the Boston opera. She has a class of fifty young women in Paris whom she has trained herself, according to her ideas, and when Mr. Russell saw them he just engaged the whole class for the Boston opera, and America will see something new in ballets.Showing New Stage Scenery.But that is not what Miss Fuller9came over for. She is going back a week from tomorrow and this is a somewhat hurried transatlantic journey. But she has bigger projects in mind than merely furnishing a ballet of pretty girls who will captivate American audiences.Miss Fuller has introduced at tlie Parisian opera houses a new idea in stage scenery. Painted scenery is done away with. In its place an arrangement of lights and stereopti-cons produces what is wanted to be represented on the stage, aside from the people. It is Miss Fuller’s own invention, or discovery, or application of well known /principles, whatever one may call it, and on this scheme she has been spending alltil© money she has made by her dancing for the past eight years.It is for perfecting this scheme that she has the big laboratory in Paris. Madame Curie, who discovered uranium and radium and thesmsspondenoe of an Illinois Editor, who visited Western Canada in August, 1908.Lands may also be purchased from Railway and Land Companies at low prices and on e asy terms.

They are both interested in the wonderful discoveries the sprightlylittle woman has been making in her study of the chemistry of light andthe application of light forces.Stage Setting in a Handbag.An opera house or theatre with its stage embellished with scenery of Miss Fuller’s kind has to be built expressly for the purpose. None of our old fashioned houses would do. But to compensate for that she can carry ten thousand stage settings in a small trunk. She has a bundle of them she is taking to Boston -to show the opera house people there. There are six thousand stage scenes in that bundle and she can carry them under her arm.That is all she came over for thjs time—just to teach Americans some thing they do not know about light and what may be accomplished with it. She will return a week from tomorrow. In June she will be back again and will bring her ballet girls with her.It is a new idea in a ballet. The old fashioned toe dancing, simpering, skipping lady of uncertain age will not be the charmer in this new style of ballet. It will be arranged just as the singing part of an opera is arranged. One girl may dance but a single bar of the music. Another will dance a line or two. There will be dancing duets, trios and choruses, each dancer will step that portion of the music for which she is particularly fitted by figure, by tem/era-ment, by ability. Just as the singers take their parts, sopranos, tenors, bassos, so will the dancers of the new ballet go through with theirs.WORDS TO FREEZE THE SOUL.“Your son has consumption. Ilis case is hopeless.” These appalling words were spoken to Geo. E. Elevens, a leading merchant of Springfield, N. C., by two expert doctors— one a lung specialist. Then was shown the wonderful power of Dr. King’s New Discovery. “After three weeks use,” writes Mr. Elevens, “he was as well as ever. I would not take all the money in the world forwhat it did for my boy.” Infalliblefor coughs and colds, its the safest, surest cure of desperate lung diseases on earth. 50c and $1.00 atA t
