Large audiences enjoyed it immensely yes- terday, and a capacity house should be on hand this evening. The story told in "The Call of the Cumber- lands" breathes a southern atmo- sphere of the clansmen days, holds one in its grip by its romantic tale, and has a most happy ending. There are also on the screen end of the bill a two-reel Mutual, "Keeping Up With the Joneses," which is most amusing; "The Battle of Cupidovitch,"" another blue dispeller; "Big Jim's Heart," a stirring tale of human interest, and the Mutual travel series. 3 The Aleva Duo, in a refined sing- ing and piano offering, head the vau- deville. .
