Christmas Holidava.

Now that the holidays are over and you have abused your digestive orxans unttl they are on the point of rebellion. the proper thing to do is to get back into working condition as speedily as possabIe. "A stitch in time saves nine," is an old saw. but 1t is a great truth in homely dress and applies with greatest force to the human body. A little trifiing ailment which was not considered worthy of a second thought has in countless instances cost life. A stitch in time'' would have saved much suffering and distress to the victim and his family. Those who have to fight the battle of life, the wage-earn- CTS. must at once get in shape for an- other years work. If they start out with an ailing body. be it ever so trifing, they cannot do their best and if no attention Is paid to the trouble it soon becomes se- were. entailing loss of time and money, or worse. Prudent persons win get rid of the disorder as speedily as possible. A few doses of PRICKLY ASH BITTERS will do this work. It will cleanse and strengthen the digestive organs, empty and purify the bowels, regulate the whole system and lmpart a feeling of strength and energy that will make work a pleas ure. It is good for the whole family. Chil- dren who are puny, sickly or who have eaten too freely of sweet stun will imn,e- diately improve under It's benefleiaI effect. For ladies, particularly those subject to headache, indigestion, constipation or the ailments peculiar to their sex, it is of the greatest value as 1t puriles the sys- tenn thoroughly, tones up the vital or gans, clears the complexion and promotes good appetite, Vigor and cheerfulness.

"The Cavalier, Friday.

Of the few plays that are considered worthy of securing a place in modern literature. the peoples and critics favorite, The Cavalier" takes precedence over all other works of the past year, for its many commendable attributes tend to permit it to percOlate in the archives of permanency. not only as a literary gem but as the beacon light of that school of American writers of which George w. Cable is a leader.
 This production Is noteworthy in many respects. for 1t not only comes here with cast of exceptional strength. but with the complete scenic ingestment and elabo- rate stage effects which chara cterized its phenomenal run for over 100 nights at the Criterion Theatre, New York city.
 ''The Cavalier" has elements to make 1t popular with theatregoerS of today. There is Americanism in 1t and thore is heart interest; there Is pathos, some- times approaching tragedy, though withal there is an abundance of light comedy to make the play, as a whole, a cheering and happy entertainment
 This play comes to the Montgomery Theatre next Friday. matinee and night.
 Charlotte Tittell, who assumes tine role of Charlotte Durand in Paul Kesters' dramatization of "The Cavalier is one of the best known leading women of the country. having attained prominence after years of pains taking study and experience in the portrayal of wide range of stage creations, coupled with natural born genius.
 Miss Tittell has everything to commend her to theatre goers. personal magnetism. youth, beauty. voice of great fexibility and mind trained to feel every emotion and impart it to her auditors.
 Mrs. Brune whose excellent work creat- cd quite a furore here last season. is a sister of Miss Tittell, who with her

AThA Prince of pilsen. y

Prince of Pilsen," Pixley & Luder's | musical comedy that made fame for it, self so quickly. was evidently born under | a lucky star.
 First of all. afNr Frank Pixley and Gustav Luders con pleted the work itself. the right producer was found in Henry w. Savage, whose productions are noted l for their thoroughness, great care in every detail and sumptuous garniture. Since the first night of production fin Boston Prince of Pilsen" has swept along on a high rolling wave of success. Boston gave 1t such an inaugural that Fremont theater continued to be crowd ed at every performance for five months. Then Chicago gave 1t hearty approval and record-breaking box office receipts for four months. New York took 1t up the first night it was offered there at the | Broadway, and 5ere again it ran flush i've months and quit in triumph, prepar- atory to a tarip across the country Once more Chicago harbored it for a month and it became the fad. and enthu- siasm was greater than ever. MT. Savage made new production of it, and the stage investiture is much finer than fin the first production. The cast and com pany are as a whole improved as Chi cago has duly testified after a months return.
 For the Widow Crocker MT. Savage se- cured Miss Trixie Friganza, and she has invested the part with a subtle charm and spirit it had never had before. The inimitable Hans Wagner. the Cincinnati brewer is committed to Jess Dandy. whose delineations have heretofore been approved in the East and Chicago con firmed the judgment. Arthur Donaldson, who created the role of Prince of Pil- sen" and has never missed a perform ance, continues in it, and gives 1t great CT unction than ever. Miss Ruth Pee bles Is the Nellie Wagner. a genuine fia- vorite on every appearance. and Miss EI- mira Forrest is Edith Adams, a part she held in New York. Miss Idalene Cotton is the Sldonia, the French maid, and so true is her Parisian tongue and chic that Chicago first said she was imported for the part. Ada St. Albans is Jimmy, the bell boy par excellence. Henry Taylor Is Tom Wagner, Nick Long, Francois, and Walter Clifford. Lord Somerset
 There are Vassar girls on tour, golf girls, sea-shell girls, bathing girls, French maids, huntresses. jockey girls, etc.. and the smartest chorus going Cos tunes are extremely rich and becoming. The orchestra is ample, up to opera stand ard.
 Prince of Pilsen" will be given at the Montgomery theater next Wednesday night.

But in "The Auction eer" the conjunction of the names of Da- vid Belasco and David Warfield furnishes simple key. Warfieid provides strong personality and singular ability to por- tray eccentric character; David Beiasco supplements this by his own uncommon genius in bringing out the best points Of the actors skill, and in so fashioning the stage form of the play as to assist the star in producing the surest and best re- sults

A high class comedy. a successful 'mu- sical comedy and a romantic drama of Southern life. These are the offerings at the Montgomery theater this week and each one of them deserves the consider ation of exacting playgoers.
 The return of Davlo Warfield will de- light those who appreciate character comedy of the highest class. The Auc- tioneer" is remembered as one of the best, if not the really best. things of last season. Warfeld's Simon Levi was pro- claimed marvellous achievement. It is good to know that he is coming again and with practically the same excellent company of actors.
 Wednesday night we win see Pixley & Luder's "The Prince of Pilsen," a mu- sical comedy which has been pronounced | a great success. These men were respon- | sible for "rhe Burgomaster" and King Dodo." The Prince of Pilsen" Is said to ! be an even more ambitions work than | those two popular pieces.
 Those familiar with Southern literature will be interested in the production of a
 dramatization of Gables delightful story
 ''The Cavalier" at the theater Friday af- ternoon and night. Julia Marlowe made
 it a success in New York. and Charlotte Tittell, who is Cables Charlotte Durand, has met with much favor.
