Tony Pastor in Trouble.

Tpny Pastor, of Now York, who is now with his inimitable variety combination making a tour of the principal cities of the Union, is recognized as the leading character vocalist and variety performer of the United States. He owns and runs a first-class theater on Broadway, New York city, and has gathered about him the best troupe of variety artists that could be obtained. The company has just completed a brilliant engagement at the Walnut Street Theater, Philadelphia, and after the present tour they will reappear in Tony Pastor’s own theater in New York city. Mr. Pastor is the originator of his peculiar school of character smging, and has made himself immensely popular, having realized by his talents a large fortune. The writer of this article met Mr. Pastor recently at the Bingham House in PhiladelEfaia, and found him as genial in private as e is amusing before the public. During our conversation I inquired as to his physical health, and he replied that, notwithstanding the strain upon him in the discharge of his professional duties, it was excellent. He had occasionally severe pains, either the result of rheumatic attacks or colds, but any complaints of that character never troubled him long, as he had found out a remedy for all such annoying affections. I asked him what the remedy was, and he replied, “ Bt. Jacobs Oil." I then learned from Mr. Pastor that he considered the'Great German Remedy an excellent preparation for the cure or relief of rheumatism, and that it was about the only thingußed among professional people for that distressing complaint. He took bottles of it with him whenever he went traveling, and would not be without it, and he knew that it was very popular with a number of members of his own company. A conversation held subsequently with various members of the organization revealed the fact that St. Jacobs On had been performing most invaluable service for them in the way of curing them of rheumatism. Nearly every artist in the troupe used it, and was enthusiastic in its praise, and the writer was really forced to the conclusion that Tony Pastor was certainly in luck in having so valuable an article known and employed by his inimitably-good cbmpany of performers, for it enabled every one to be always in his place, thfis insuring comfort to the management and genuine satisfaction to the public. Tony Pastor would certainly be in trouble without St. Jacobs Oil. At least, other managers, whose artists have been temporarily unsupplied, have noticed the difference between St. Jacobs Oil in stock and St. Jacobs Oil out of stock —among the members of their companies.—N.
