PAGE SEVEN BRINGING UP FATHER By McManus They "stopped the show" last night The Harvey DeVora Trio have a cataret act full of novelties and "pep. This act also took the house by storm, especially the dancing features. Palfrey, Hail and Drown offer the most pretentious act seen here this season. The stage setting alone receiving i tremendous hand, the reproduction of Times Square, New York City, being a work of scenic art The unicycle riding of the comedian and the dancing specialty of Miss Brown are prominent features. That Richmond likes the big-time material is evdenced by the capacity houses and as the management advertises to "come early" we would suggest that patrons take their supper with them if they expect a seat while this bill is playing. 1 flX.

"The proposal which Mr. Ashe sends for the approval of council," says Solicitor Williams, "varies from the bid he submitted some weeks ago. He now asks five cents per K. W. for the first 1,000 K. W. energy furnished in-1 stead of eighteen mills, as bid. Also the operation of the contract, as proposed, provides for only ISO K. W. . demand, which Oxford would likely j exceed before long, and when exceed-' Ail tirml1 ronulrA o new nnnfrapf I "Also no provision is made in Mr. Ashe's proposal for the reconstruction of transmission lines, and there Is no proposal for bond guaranteeing the contract.

with Mr. Ashe, and it is hoped that an early adjustment will be made, satisfactory to all parties concerned.

Theater WASHINGTON This girl wanted what every woman wants, but it took her a long, long time, with many heartaches and disillusions, to fnd out what she. wanted, and when she found what she thought she wanted, it wasn't what she wanted at all. Everybody thinks he knows what every woman wants, all the way from having her own way to the proverbial "last word," but this girl found out finally what it was. Grace Darmond is a willowy beauty, and she wears some perfectly glorious clothes in "What Every Woman Wants." An all-star cast supports her. Last time today. An interesting and realistic scene In "Bill's Opportunity," the newest of "Smiling Bill" Parsons' Capitol Comedies, is a fashionable lingerie exhibit posed for by sixteen beautiful young women. All the latest styles of women's under attire are shown at the brilliant display. The models are regularly employed, at the department store, which the millionaire comedian hired for filming many scenes in the play. Last time today at the Washington. MURRAY. Perhaps if Fran had not made her debut in Littleburg by laughing out loud in the midst of the camp revival meeting where Hamilton Gregory, the great exhorter, was saving lost souls, her troubles would have been less. As is was, when she appealed to Gregory for a home he immediately branded her a a little heathen, and she had great difficulty thereafter convincing everyone that she couldn't connect their religion with life as they lived it. Fran is the' heroine of "Love Hunger," in which Miss Lillian Walker returns to the Murray , theater on today .and Wednesday. Adapted from "Fran," the popular novel by John Breckenridge Ellis, "Love Hunger is a comedy-drama in which Miss Walker plays the role of a child of the circus a professional lion tamer who seeks a home away from the sawdust ring. Fred Stone, who makes his second Artcraft appearance in "Under the Top," which is now on view at the Murette theater, is known as the most successful comedian in musical comedy. But the limitations of the speaking stage have been overcome in the films and now admirers of his art throughout the country are welcoming this chance to see his extraordinary fun-making and acrobatics. There, is unusual interest in the forthcoming production of the A. H. Woods' notable farce-comedy success, "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," which will be presented at the Murray theatre on Saturday, direct from a solid year's run in Chicago and New York. It comes to the Murray theatre after an engagement of more than eight months at the Republic theatre, New York, where it continued well into the summer, playing to capacity audiences. It is said to have scored more laughs than any play on the New York stage last season. Certainly few plays bavb received such enthusiastic approval from the New York press. The Evening Mail called it "two hours of laughter." The New York Tribune declared that it had "moreJlzz than 'Fair and Warmer.'" The play presents one of the most extraordinary and amusing plots seen on the stage in many seasons. It concerns the pseudo romantic adventures of an innocent young husband who is compelled to pretend to a life of amorous experience in order to please his romantically adoring wife. As a result' of his deception he finds himself much against his will in a secluded wayside inn. in DECIDES TO BEAJJVE ONE Young Man Comes Back One of our young men sure has come to the front in short order and his friends are at a loss to understand his untiring energy and ability to work and get results, where only a few weeks before he seemed to be all run down and almost a nervous wreck. Questioned by a curious friend as to the cause of the sudden change, he said: "I sure was in bad shape and no one knew it hotter than I did. It had my goat for fair. I was all in and my nerves shot to pieces with worriment and sleepless nights. One dav I overheard a customer telling what Phosphated Iron had done for him and I could not get a supply quick enough. "That's the whole story, just Phosphated Iron. My poor tired overworked nerves just seemed to be Phosphatehungry, the way they took hold of It, and say what a relief. I felt like a new man. Could sleep at nieht, and get up In the morning feeling like a two-year-old. Believe me, I had some appetite too, my weight increased rapidly, my face filled out and had the color of perfect health that only goes with pure tlood, well fed with Iron.

a compromising position, with more ladies than he had bargained for. The resulting situation kept all New York and Chicago laughing for an entire year and promises to repeat Its performance in - Richmond. A. H. Woods, has chosen one of hie characteristically notable companies to interpret the piece. David Torrence, prominent in the cast of "Three Faces East," which will

j show at the Murray, March 19, began his stage career as a barytone In comic opera. As such he sang principal roles In "The Geisha," "The Fencing Master," "The Strollers," "Dorothy," and kindred musical pieces for several years. Later he went into dramatic work and, strange to say, had as bad a case of stage fright as If he had not been before the footlights for several years. His first dramatic appearance was with the late Richard Mansfield In "Beau Brummel," in which play he was cast for the part of Simpson, the Prince of Wales' valet. His opening speech was a "feeder" for Mr. Mansfield to deliver a very bright comedy speech, but when young Torrence faced the mighty Mansfield, he forgot his lines and stood there dumbly gazing at the star. For a few moments that seemed ages, this continued. Then Mansfield, with a look of disgust, and a rising inflection of anger in his voice, cried: "I am surprised that his Highness, the Prince of Wales, should have in his employ a numbskull like you, Simpson. Go to the palace and ask the prince to write his message, as I can not speak the deaf and dumb language." Torrence, trembling and abashed, made a hasty exit, but Mansfield forgave him, and the next night the young actor delivered his linos without hesitation, and remained with Mansfield for many years.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed aud loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them," like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather Is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and yo;i are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. ' Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts: take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with llthia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irltates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpepslve, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink. Adv.
