doors for over 200 nights, and set all
Chicago and Boston laughing at it's phe-

New York writer said that 1.-THE Gay
Parisians'' would cause the stony face
of the Sphinx to melt into smiles. The
scenes of this play are laidi in Paris
hotel, the original French comedy having
run for two years in Paris under the title
of Hotel du Libre Exchange" The
story, briefly told. narrates the attempt Of
a husband to deceive his wife as to his
evening amusements, and the possibili-
ties of ridiculous situations arising from
this theme are practically Iimitlsss and
are carried out with all the briskness Of
fearlessness of the modern French farce.
Mr.. Charles Frohman presents here the
complete original cast, which appeared at
Hoyts thea ter. and all the original seem

company been seen in comedy. w. j.

Painful diseases are bad enough. but

strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer
rolled and tossed on the troubled sea OF
sexual weakness, until 1t was question
whether he had not better take dose OF
poison and thus end all his troubles. But
providential inspiration came to his ala
in the shape of a combination of medl-
cines that not only completely restored
the general health, but enlarged ms
