He has as the ncclcus of his undertaking. The Hindu." a mystery play of India mid "Mr. Wu.” an Anglo-Chinese melodrama of th'* Far Kast. He will be seen lii both of these moving and soul stirring pieces during his brief ■ngagement ut the Majoatlc theater, on January 17th and ISth.

undertake aueh a thlag, for unlike Shakespeare's classics, it is a different matter to secure six or more radically different plays, modern in them, and suited to a star’s demands, as well as his personal following. For example, Mr. Whiteside’s friends and admirers love to see him in oriental dramas like the two mentioned, “The Typhoon,” and other dramas dealing with Far East subjects. “The Hindu" created a profound impression when it was played in Fort Wayne last season, and its repetition this year should call forth capacity audiences. This play will be done on the opening night of Walker Whiteside’s coming engagement, Thursday, January 17th. "Mr. Wu” will be played on Friday evening, with the star in the wonderful character of the old Chinese mandarin Wu Li Chang. This terrific play of Hong Kong, has been the reigning sensation in London, Paris and Budapest for a decade. When Walker Whiteside first produced it in New York, the critics lauded it to tho skies, one writer saying that Whiteside was “Fiendishly fine” in tile leading role.—Advt. 0 Assignments Made For Regional Tournaments The classification of district tournament winners for the regional tourneys in the high school championship play, is as follows: Indiana University—Bedford, Brazil.

— ~,, „„ — Why Doctors Warn Against Coffee or Ten for Children I THE reason is simple. Coffee and tea contain drugs which tend to irritate the delicate nervous system of children, and so upset health. The Federal Bureau of Education includes in its rules to promote health among growing school children, the warning that “children should not drink tea or coffee at all.” Why confine the warning to children ? You are careful to protect the health ol your children; why, then, take chances with your own health, when a change from coffee or tea is made so easy by Postum. Postum is a delicious, pure cereal beverage—ideal for children and satisfying to adults.
