I suffered from terrible dragging SEN

and the most agonizing headaches.
No one knows what l endured. Often

little while / would be too sick to go
to work, for three or four days; work
IN a large store, and l suppose stand

Sherlock Holmes. the hero of several

the hero of more than one popular play
GiIlett made him a theatrical success
more by his own striking personality
than by the literary merits of his adapt

tempts at representing the famous de-
tective. and one of these is the version
to be played by the Waldorf Company
tonight. Having decided to prolong
their stay here the waldorfs have tax
en- a lease of the Orpheum theater,
where they open tonight in the version
referred to under the title of 1.-The Ad-
ventures of Detective Holmes" Mr..
Norval McGregor will play Sherlock
Holmes, part for which he is said to
be peculiarly well fitted. A critic of the
London Express wrote of his conception
of the character: Mr.. McGregor bids
fair to come closer to our idea of the
nestor of induction and deduction than
did Gillett." Miss Waldorf will be seen
in the smaller role of Irene Adler. The
piece rs reputed to be fun of thrilling
situations, and quite as sensationaliy
melodramatic as the stories justify. 1t
will be played on tonightand tomorrow
night at popular prices.
