GLTIIAM THEATRE. ‘ THE GOLDEN CALF.” Hailed as one of the best comedies of the year, “The Golden Calf” will show at the Eltliam Theatre to-night.

It lias everything that goes to make a good musical comedy—youth, beauty, romance, comedy, scintillating tunes, dazzling dances, and spectacular specialties.

Sue Carol, with an all-star cast and a chorus of 100 of the most talented and beautiful dancing girls, puts a fine finish to a fine picture.
