Senor “Friscoe,” the wizard of the xylophone, includes in

extraordinary f*

his act at

Keith’s theater next week the most extraordinary feature of the whole program. Friscoe accomplishes the unusual feat of playing a duet with himself. You hear the living Friscoe, and at the same time you hear Thomas A. V Edison’a Re-Creation of his playing. \ ^ l ^ • This new marvel of music is made possible through that wonderful in-

strument— /

, Go to Keith’s and hear this most unusual act—let your own ears prove to you that thare is not the slightest difference between the playing of the artist and the Re-Creation of It by the New Edison. Bear in mind that this is not a stage“stunt,” but a scientific tone-test, just like the 200 others that

have been made by the leading artists of the world.

fuel Economy As previously announced, our price on Egg and Chpstnut Coke to the Indianapolis fuel dealers remains unchanged. Our coal has gone up enormously and we must advance our coke prices correspondingly, but during the month of April we will continue our winter , price.-- "-v ; - ^ Every prudent householder should lay in his supply for next winter NOW. The price will surely be higher next month, while later in this month you may not be able to get the coke. We intend to supply the Indianapolis dealers with all the coke they have ordered for this month, and we will ship them more if they call for it and we can spare it. But our coal supply is lower than it has ever been before since we have been in business as we must meet our contract, obligations ; to other customers. Therefore, if there should be a rush of orders later in the month, it is quite likely that we could not fin them. i ; ;; -’i§| : April(fs Now ■ One-Third Gone , ‘ Citizens Gas Comi
