The Richmond high school basketball five wrestled the big end of a 27-23 count from the Shottridge high school quintet at Indianapolis Saturday night. Coach Mullins tried out a new combination that proved successful in the Shortridge game. With three regulars out of the game, it looked doubtful

whether or not the new men had had enough experience but Stegman and Oraffis changed places, Stgman going to forward and Graffis to guard, his old position, and the Stegman-Robin-son-Slmmons combination located the basket, overcoming Shortrldge's nine point lead ending the first half 1211 in

Coach Mullins now has an aggregation of basketball players to represent the Richmond high that should do credit 1o the school. At th? beginning of the basketball season it was hard tor hfm to present to opponents a good all around team that would not be materially weakened by the loss of one of its men. Now the coach has enough good material for two teams. With Van Allen, Robinson, Simmons, Stegman, Harding. Graffis, R. Price.

YOU CAN RUB AND RUB AND RUB BUT YOUR RHEUMATISM REMAINS

Liniments by the Gallon Will Never Make a Cure.

If Rheumatism could be cured by rubbing the painful parts with liniments and lotions, there would be no Rheumatism today. For enough liniment has been used by the average sufferer to float his body in. Has bis Rheumatism been cured? Ask biro. Has anything but temporary relief been obtained? Has not the pain promptly returned, so that the old process of rub, rub, rub must begin all over again? Ask anyone who has ever besn afflicted with this painful, torturing disease, and they will admit that nothing but temporary re

lief has even come from these externr 1 applications. Remove the cause, and there will be no pain. The proper treatment, therefore, is a remedy that purifies the blood. Scores of suffers say that S. S. S. has cleansed their blood of Rheumatism, by removing all trace of the disease from their system. If you wish to Intelligently treat Rheumatism, go to your dru; store today and get a bottle of S. S. S.f take it as directed and you will soon be on the way back to perfect health. Then if you want any bpecial instructions, write our physician all about your symptoms, and he will give you all necessary instructions regarding your own case, for which no charge Is made.

Francis X. Bushman Mrs. Francis X. Bushman, wife of the noted screen actor, has begun proceedings in Baltimore for a partial dierce. According to her bill of complaint.' trouble has been frequent in Bushmanor, the family home, for

months past. At present, she alleges that her husband is interested in a member of his company, and has neglected her because of this. Some time ago, the couple agreed to disagree. At that time, Bushman agreed to give his wife $100 a week, in addition to defraying her expenses. Now, she claims, he is more th.n $1,000 In arrears on his payments. During the last year, it develops, Mrs, Bushman made frequent complaints to the Justice of the peace at Towson, charging brutal conduct on the- part of her husband. She asks that she be given the custody of their five children, and that, with them, she be allowed to make her home at the family residence, No co-respondent is needed, but the v lfa claims Bushman occupied an apartment in New York with a certain woman of his company, and that recently he brought this woman to their home and entertained her. QhQ

GOOD PICTURES BE

AND MUSIC-

MURRAY The bill which opened at the Murray this afternoon is one that is full of comedy and will no doubt prove very popular with the theatre-going public. Kelly and Rowe present an original comedy entitled "O U Dummy" that is filled with laug'hs and both members of the team are very good and capable of getting all of the laughs out of the sketch. Espe and Dutton, two clever chaps, scon sing and dance their way into

popular favor. Olive Tell in "Her Sister" is the picture for tonight. A Roadhouse lark provides the "thrill" In this feature as the story deals with what happened to an innocent Miss who went joy-riding with friend wife's husband.

WASHINGTON Virginia Pearson in her latest William Fox photoplay, "Stolen Honor," has its last showing at the Washington theatre today. This play is a beauts. It has to recommend it a beautiful star, a thrilling story, pretty scenes and sets. It is one of the best Miss Pearson haa been seen in and she has done some very clever screen work. The scenes are laid in Washington D. C, and the characters represent so

ciety and official circles, even an am

bassador being included. The story has to do with a stolen painting. This is used as a pretext for dibhonoring Virginia Lake, the role Miss Pearson plays, ' The reason is that another woman is in loVe with the man who admires Virginia Lake,

ttho is the daughter of wealthy parents and who is a painter of note. She makes a copy of a painting hung in the Corcoran Art Gallery and the jealous woman declares Miss Lake has substituted the copy for the original. Miss Lake's position is made difficult because on .the eight of the theft, the hurries to New York te 6ave her m&rried girl friend, who is eloping with" another man. If 6he telle where she was on the night the picture disappeared, her friend suffers. If she doesr'L prison awaits her. She refuses all .aid and makes her own plans to get both herself and triemi out of trouble.

FROM MR. L. H. PFEIFFER This is the most important theatrical announcement I have ever made during my career as a manager in this city. I have just contracted with Messrs. William Elliott, F. Ray Comatoek and Morris Gest to bring their magnificent production of "Experience," the most wonderful play in America, to Richmond for Monday night, Feb. 18. "Experience" is, without doubt, the greatest success of this day and generaation. It ran for nine months in New York, five months In Boston, seven months in Chicago and five months in Philadelphia. In every community where "Experience" is presented it always receives the enthusiastic indorsement of the clergy of all creeds and denominations. "Experience" is a modern morality comedy drama by George V. Hobart, telling in ten vivid and powerful scenes the temptation confronting Youth the average young man going forth into the world to seek fame and fortune. "Experience" is properly called "the nioFt wonderful play in America." I know ofmy. own knowledge that this play has been a sensation elsewhere., I am sure it will arouse enormous interest here. It js t,he biggest show I have booked in two years. I don't believe another one as big will come along in the next ten years. I am proud and happy to be able to brjrig "Experience" to the theatregoers of this city,'' and am especially glad to announce that the famous New York-Boston "Experience" organization,' with a cast of 83 notable players, comes here direct from nine months in New York and five months in Boston, and is considered by the critics the greatest "Experience" company ever assembled. Remember, "Experience" Is not a moving picture, but the successful spoken comedy-drama of this generation. (Signed) l. H. PFEIFFER, Manager Washington Theater.
