CGALLUS" MCEi BELT k BLESSItlG Experts Say that Suspenders Cause Round Shoulders and Fat Abdomens. Suspenders are the sole cause, of a large number of round shoulder and enlarged abdomens. Such is the opinion of three local authorities who hare studied the relative merits of

belts and suspenders. Suspenders are a menace to health, they say, because of the two named deformities resulting from their use. Dr. 3. E. King, county health commissioner, stated today that there is no question but what suspenders are responsible for round shoulders. It Is almost impossible to stand erect with such a weight pulling down on one's shoulders, and the binding of the elastic straps over the shoulders holds down the bones and depresses the chest. Furthermore, says Dr. King, superfluous fat ou the abdomen, which Is such a common fault with a large class of men, may be easily removed by the substitution of a belt for suspenders. Suspenders In no way help one to keep down the accumulation of avolrdapois on the stomach, white the binding of a belt is an excellent way for regaining normal shape. Corporal William Hern, head of the local United States Army recruiting station maintains that one of the principal reasons you never see a roundshouldered or a fat man In Uncle Sam's service is due to the prohibition of suspenders, rather than to their physical training. Roy J. Horton, physical director of the Y. M. C. A., concurs In the statements of the county health commissioner, saying that any business man will take a big step toward overcoming slight deformities by wearing a belt. Here Is a remedy that will cure your cold. Why waste time and money experimenting when you can get a preparation that has won a worldwide reputation by Its cures of this disease and can always be depended upon?

and was then transferred to "The Playhouse," where it remained until well into the summer months, thereby proving Itself to be one of the real successes of last season in New York. Beginning early during the present season "Over Night" was presented at the Princess Theater, Chicago, and so great a "hit" did It score, that it remained there for more than three months, making a "record" for receipts in the city for the present year. Not only were the playgoers of Chicago delighted with the play but the critics united in declaring it to be the "laughing success" of the season. It is a rather surprising fact that such a young author as Mr. Bartholomae (he has only been out of college a short time) should win favor with this, his first effort, and this, too, a success which has been so unanimously proclaimed. At the Murray. "Of all the animals in the world that are hard to train the ant eater is the most difficult." said J. F. Apdale. who has sixteen animals in his excellent animal act at the Murray this week. "Dick, my ant eater, has about as little sense as any animal could have, and I spent months in training him to do his few feats, and he is the only animal of his species in the world that can do that much. In fact he is the only ant eater in training, the only one elvilized I might say. I considered that I have accomplished something when I trained him, so that he

He was putting medicine on the ear of a dog who has indulged in a "friendly dispute" with a big German poodle a few days agor the eye of another with rose water; petting here, scolding there, but speaking to all with an affection which was pleasant to see. His dogs, he says, are almost human. He loves them as he would a baby, kisses and fondle3 them, but all th etime he is training them. Continuing his conversation, he said, "The smartest animal I have considering their relative sense, is Jess, the little black bear. She is the best trained bear I have ever seen, as gentle as she can be and a hard worker. "Jess" is the bear that lies on her back and juggles a ball in the air with her four feet, with a dog balanced on

top of the ball." Horses For Weddings. An old fashioned man who wishes to hire a team for the afternoon sav a nice pair of bays which he though he would like to drive.

The Theaters

"THE IRISH PLAYERS" By Esther. Griffin White Those grapes that set Mr. Wilton Lackeye's artistic teeth on edge and brought forth the observation that the "Irish Players" couldn't act were evidently of a sublimated degree of acidity. After seeing these delightful histrions Mr. Lackeye is easily understood. The grapes he masticated so savagely were very, very sour. The truth is that American actors actors of any nationality for that mat ter may take the lesson of the Irish Players to heart and thus find out what's the matter with the theatrical situation. , . It isn't at all that the players are Irish. The truth is the American public is very catholic in its theatric appreciation. It doesn't care particularly whether the actor, or actress, is an American or a Hindoo or a native of Paris, or Kamchatka. What it really wants, although it is sunk deep within its sub-consciousness, is truthful and realistic interpretation, filtered through an unvixualized artistic medium which is nonetheless existent It wants this. But it doesn't know it wants it. It gropes round blindly through a maze of glittering tawdriness, gases dissatisfiedly at distorted pictures, applauds the grotesque, because it rec ognizes the latter as something genu ine but when it finds a "gem of purest ray" it grasps it and pins it in its breast. To twist a certain famous quotation "you can fool the theatric public part of the time, but nbt all of the time." These observations are called forth by the appearance of the famous theatrical aggregation known as "The Irish Players" at the Gennett last night in three plays, "The Rising of the Moon" and "Spreading the News," by Lady Gregory, and "The Building Fund" by William Boyle. The history and origin of this or ganization has been commented upon at length in the Palladium and the local public knows that the members of the company axe not drawn from the rank of the "legitimate" but are the product of the Abbey School of Acting conducted by the Abbey Theater, in Dublin, and are, therefore, entirely unhampered by the ordinary theatric con ventions. That, however, they do not violate any fixed rule of dramatic art, by ig noring its artificialities, was seen in the perfect dramatic ensemble, if it may so be put, in the presentations of last evening. Their exits, in instance, were exits, or rather they weren't "exits" they were just "going out," as people leave a room or a locality. ' This in itself, was a relief. While it is denied that "exiting" is done nowadays by other than stock and repertoire actors, it still holds. Celebrated exponents of theatric art are constantly to be seen exiting. The absolute simplicity and natural ness, indeed, of the Irish Players, which is, of course, admittedly their dramatic ideal, is their most compelling manifestation. Lady Gregory, in the two short plays put on here last evening, shows herself a skilful playwright as well as the possessor of the "comic spirit," the first "The Rising of the Moon," being invested with a certain poetic charm aside from that induced by its setting. It is the story of a policeman, imper sonated by Mr. Arthur Sinclair, on the lookout for a certain offender, for whose apprehension a reward of one hundred pounds is offered. and the struggle between his , cupidity when be finds that a certain "ballad singer," taken by J.

has whiled away the tedium of bis

watch with him, is the fugitive himself and his kindlier instincts. The triumph of the latter and the maintenance of the comedy balance in the observation from the policeman that, af ter all, he may have been a fool to let I the hundred pounds go, makes a sus-i tained finale which gives vivacity to the fall of the curtain. "Spreading the News." on the other hand, is farce pure et simple, but farce in its finest sense divorced from bur - lesque or grotesquerie. It all binges upon thn dafneaa of an old annle-woman who tells different stories to different people with a grand mix-up of supposed murder, illicit love-making and other social discomforts, straightened out in a laughable climax. The three act comedy by William Boyle, "The Building Fund," was, however, the best vehicle for the exploiting of the individual talents of those actors who were included in its caste, since it was more ambitious and complicated in plot and called for the depiction of a more varied repertoire of human qualities. The story is of an old Irish woman, of considerable fortune for one of her class, who is miserly beyond comprehension, of her elderly bachelor son whose cupidity is greater than that of his mother, and of her grand-daughter whom the old lady employs in the capacity of a servant who is the child of a disinherited daughter and who insinuates herself into the household in order to get a share of the money. The effort of two canvassers to se cure a contribution to a building fund, being made up to erect a new church in the parish, is the pivot upon which the action of thg play swings. Miss Sara Allgood, as "Mrs. Grogan," the old woman, gave a theatric presentation which, in its way, was absolutely without flaw, and was comparable, in the writer's experience, only with that of Mr. Richard Mansfield in "Ivan, the Terrible." the same shrewd senility, evasion, contradictoriness, illuminating flashes of wise utterance and sardonic humour being notable in Miss Allgood's as well as In Mr. Mansfield's characterization. It was a theatric masterpiece. The interpretation of the role of "Shan Grogan," her son, by Mr. Arthur Sinclair who appeared with eclat n both the other plays was inimitable, displaying Mr. Sinclair's versatility as a comedian. Mr. Fred O'Donovan who, by the way, takes the part of the "Playboy" in the play of that name, was exquisitely funny as "Dan Macsweeney," one of the canvassers and the financially interested lover of "Shelia O'Dwyer," the grand daughter, taken by Miss Edithne Magee of charming personality whose ar dour waned when he found she was not remembered in the will. Mr. J. A. O'Rourke, as "Michael O'Callahan," the elder of the two canvassers gave an admirable impersonation. The charm of this presentation lay. for one thing, in the appeal of the comedy,' which was developed through the action and the natural result of the progress of the latter rather than in extraneous Jines or "business." The appearance of the Irish Players, indeed, was one of the most interesting theatrical events of this or any other season and that , portion of the public which took advantage of their presence here, was fortunate.
