Side Grocery at Niles, Michigan, states that
while engaged in business in Indiana he
handled lull line OF Chamberlain's med

his patrons, also that he always used it ex-
clusively in his own family whenever re-

Bijou Theater.

The manager of "The Hustler" has this to
say about his ATTRACTIONS:
"a veritable mine of fun is in store for the
patrons of the Bijou Theater this week, for Mr..
Lew Rosen's famous farcical play, 1.-THE Hust-
ler," will be unfolded for the diversion of local
theater goers. The coming of this attraction
has been anticipated by votaries of mirth,
music and song, with degree of interest at
once enthusiastic and unprecedented, and when
the curtain rises at the Bijou tomorrow night
the company should face an audience that will
undoubtedly crowd that popular playhouse to
Its fullest capacity. ~
mo stress is laid upon the literary worth of
The Hustler and while it is almost plotless
and faulty from a critical standpoint, yet it
possesses well-told story, unique situations,
amusing incidents and an abundance of 'go.'
The management's feature de resistance, how.
ever, is the surprisingly splendid corps of
comedians, dancers, singers and specialists
that present the work, and their conspicuous
ability amply atones for any lmperfections in
the comedy itself.
1.-The Hustler tells the story of the trials
| and loves OF Anna DdrstG. the proprietress of
| the Cambridge fats, New York Among her
gentleman who is in a chronic state of bank
ruptcy, but who is constantly evolving
| schemes for making millions. Aniser Busch,
festive German, is another denizen of the
| Ddnt1 establishment and is a frequent victim
! of McFddden's financial exploits. The chief
| interest centers in the efforts of McFddden and
BUSCH To Win the ndnQ Oh b0e 1alr mass DQntQ.
McFddden is enamored of the landlady for
mercenary reasons. while Busch presses his suit
| for tie sole purpose Of defeating the volatile
McFadden. The fierce rivalry of these gentry
result in some extremely langhable scenes.
| John Kernell, as McFdddrn, is said to have
made the hit of hislfe; Dan Mason plays the Ger
| man part most humorouslv: Gus ILLS enacts the
| role of Annd Ddntd SO cleverly that his auditors
| mistake him for a woman; Mollie Thompson,
| one of the leading condolences of the day is
seen as Pussy Winks McFaddens quiet nece;
John s. Mari presents happy caricature
| of the typical English swell, Lee Harrison, as
an irrepressble office boy, tckes the risibles of
! the audience to an alarming extent. and Misses
| George Lincoln, Victoria Walters and Lille
| West bob up serenely and sweetly throughout
the piece. Among he special features are the
singing OF Harry Leighton and the Boston
male quartet. A contingent of London skirt
| dancers win applause for their skill and beauty.
| Mile. Staccione, who is accounted one of the
| greatest of danseuses, appears in the Car.
| mencita Spanish dance and in dazzling pre-.
miere evolutions Toe-dancne. as performed
| by the sylph-like Staccione, is said to be a re.
yelation to American audiences.
"All in ALL The Hustler is well deserving of
the goodly quantity of ducats that it will surely
extract from the public tNs week."
