Peggy Making Good.

One of the attractive novelties in
Peggy from Paris the wonderfully
successful new musical comedy by
George AIDE and William Lorraine, now
running at the Studeballer theatre,
Chicago, is a scene showing stage
hands dressing stage at the myth
cal Paragon theatre. 1t is an ingeni-
Gus conception and the scene never
fails to draw several rounds of en-
thusiastic applause. The public, it
seems, is always interested in what
goes on behind the drop curtain, and
the idea of showing during the action
eff musical comedy the exact man
ner in which a stage is set is highly
pleasing and wholesomely divertipg.
Peggy from Paris" is so filed with
rich novelties that the audiences at the
Studebaker never know what to expect
next. The piece is decidedly removed
from cut and dried methods and for
this reason keeps interest aroused at
all times. The ingenious management
is making itself felt in the unbounded
enthusiasm manifested at every per-
Torrance. Mr. AIDE has supplied a
capital book foundation it is easy to
work up to the many ingenious stu
atoms in which the piece abounds.
Peggy from Paris" is admirably
equipped with strong cast and
charming chorus, which means much
for the success of the production. 1t
is well worth anyOne's time and mon
ey to journey to the Studebaker to
hear Josie Sadler sing her "Henny'
song and Arthur DEACON in the lii,
Like You number. These are
strong features of the new piece. and
best of all are but part of an eX-
ceedingly meritorious entertainment
The attendance at the Studebaker
since Peggy made her debut has been
little short of pL enomena and the
popular success of the piece has been
assured from the first. 1t is one of
the greatest hits in the line of must
cal comedy Chicago has had in years

Through all the years until the Boy
Phenomenon discovered his power
would also cure deafness, there was
no hope for the deaf and those terri
bic noises in the head. Silence stood
impotent before the problem of re-
storing to deaf ears.
But Il short time ago the Boy Phe-
nomenon startled the world by re-
storing the hearing Of deaf people
who had lost their hearing through
measles, scarlet fever. colds and ca
tarrh. The first reports were not be-
! lieved. 1t is a fraud" cried the con-
servative medical men.
But as of old, when the Pharisees
assated the man who had been given
back his sight, so it was Il week ago
John Clausen, of 623 First street, was
piled with questions as 10 how his
cure was accomplished and replied:
This i know. that where as for 40
years / had suffered with asthma and
dyspepsia, now l am a well man.
! When several skeptics went to Mrs
Johnson, whose little boy John, E
years old, was treated for paralysis
she met them pleasantly, but could
not inform them how it had been
done. All she could say was: This
| know. that whereas John was par
alyzed and crippled, now he has the
use of his limbs, and now plays and
runs like other children"
The Boy Phenomenon stands alone
on his merits and wishes to be Judged
only by the cures he performs, and
points with satisfaction 10 the scores
Of well-known citizens whom he has
cured the past week of diseases which
were pronounced helpless by every
other method.
| This statement from Frank HeImke,
of $40 Second street, will be interest
ing ~ ding to the deaf:
TO the Public: l. Frank Helmke,
do hereby certify to the great bene-
fits received from the hands of the
Boy Phenomenon. Fifteen years ago
L began losing my hearing through
catarrh until l became very deaf. !

were constant and very annoying.
Last week l commenced treatment

readily and the noises have ceased.

and around the heart, which caused
me much uneasiness. Since the boy
treated me the pains are all gone and
all symptoms of rheumatism have

may be read by those deprived of the
pleasure of hearing the voices of their
friends and that they may also re-
gain their hearing.

BUSY AT B0ATYARD

Graft on Ways Being
Repaired.
THIRTY-FIvE MEN ARE EMPLOYED
Ferry T. j. Robinson Getting New
Hull and Many Other Inn
proVements.

a busy winter is being put in at
the kahlke boatyards at the lower
end of the city. From so to 50 men
are employed there continuously. and
although no new boats are being built
there is much repair work in pro-
gress, and there is a very good pros
pect that one or more new boats NAV
be started before the opening of the
navigation season.
The boats on the ways at the pres
ent time include the Winona, Gardie
Eastman. Jessie Bill, r. j. Robinson.
Hattie Darling, Vivian, Eloise and
Lone Star. In the harbor are the
Helen Blair, Zalus Davis, two eXcur-
sion barges and nearly a dozen 9TH
er barges.
OF the boats on the ways the ferry
L. j. Robinson. is receiving the most
extensive repairs. The hull is being
almost entirely rebuilt. New floor
timbers and a heavy inch bottom have
been put on, with two new bull<heads,
great number of new hog chains
and other parts. Of course the craft
win be repainted, and the prime coat
has already been given. An electric
sign will be one of the most notice
| able new features to catch the eve of
the public when the ferry comes out
in the spring.
With the new machinery put in
place last winter, and the changes in
the upper parts that have been made
in the last few seasons, the boat will
be practically new, and Capt Hender-
son Will have just reason to be

being completed as rapidly as possible
in order that there shall be no de-
| lays about getting back on the route
after the river opens.
Repairs on other Boats.
The City of Winona, Capt. Streckfus'
boat, will have To be contented with
general overhauling and a new dress
of paint. The Helen Blair will not be
taken out of the water at all, she
having been entirely rebuilt last win
ter after the fire that took away
| her cabin. whein she was known as
the Urania.
Capt. \. V. Fetter's boat. the Gardie
Eastman, is getting new hull of just
the same size as the old one. She will
continue in the business of assisting
in the execution of government con-
tracts on the upper river the next
season.
The Jessie Bill, which is owned by
capt. Bacher. of Burlington. and
used in general towing business, is
receiving extensive repairs and will
come out in the spring much rejuven-
ated.
The Vivian, which is operated by
the Moore brothers, of Burlington. in
the towing of clam barges, is getting
a general repairing, as is the Eloise,
the Burlington and Keolluk packet
owned and operated by the mer-
chants of the former town.
The Lone Star is having new guards
put on and will then he treated to a
coat of paint, after which she will
be ready to breast the stream with
the old time vigor.
The Hattie Darling will sally forth
at the earliest moment with sides and
guarCs REPLACED and pair of new
smokestacks. Thus equipped she will
feel herself fully competent to carry
on the responsible business of supply
ing the three towns with large por-
ton of their sand.

TO THE LADIES


The only indispensable thing about
shoes is that the wearer shall be at
peace with them. This means that
she shall be satisfied.
1t seems a simple thing to ask but
it is difficult to obtain. For no wo-
man can be at peace with her shoes
unless they are comfortable. And no
shoes can be comfortable unless they
fit.
But, as the ordinary ready-made
shoe is built today, it can't fit as it
should. 1t needs a totally different
construction to make it fit around the
waist of the foot. Only one shoe is
built with this arch-fitting construc-
ton. This is the "ENIPRESS.''

clan lovers, the intrigues of de-
signing duchess, the unSaved condi-
ton of a president of the principality
| the commands and demands of an
invulnerable father. Then the sweet,
innocent, trusting love of n pleban
girl pitted against the wiles of a patri-
| clan woman, the heart dictates of
baron young and true to his human
heart, these are only few elements
brought out in the great romantic
drama by Theodore Kremer, and pre-
scented with Katherine Willard in the
star character. The cast of charac-
tiers is one of exceptional ability
and great strength. In word, it is
! a combination of talent one will wait
! long to see again. From the girl who
| is maid to the duchess, the youth
who is orderly to the baron, to the
baron and the duchess themselves,
each character is a conception and
execution deserving unstinted praise.
| One need not name these players.
| They must be seen to be known, and
Miss Willard is exceedingly fortunate
in having such a fine combination of
actual genius surrounding her. Of
Aria, the character assumed by Miss
| Willard, it must be said that it gives
her an opportunity to display emo
tions of which she is perfectly
capable. There is no storming, no
straining for effect, no playing to
the gods in the upper gallery, but
there is ample proof of great reserve
power, of sweet heart emotions true
to life. When She has every Oppor-
| tunity to make Il grand display of in
nocence understood, she keeps her
audience in a tension of longing that
she would declare herself wronged,
and last night the highest compliment
any player can win was the audible
sobs of the audience. and the red eyes
| that sought to hide themselves when
the curtain fell. The climax of the
play, when both are supposed to
have drunk poison and each sleeps
under the harmless potion, was be-
yond any words to predict. Those who
missed seeing THE Power Behind the
Throne" were deprived of one of the
greatest treats. The scenery was an
important part of the presentation,
and deserves the praise of the lovers
of art. No expense has been spared
in making this an attraction which is
worthy of the foremost place in trav-
cling dramas.-Review of Miss Kath-

Revival of Famous Play
The assertion. has been made by
high theatrical authorities that
T. w. Robertson's "Caste" is the most
amusing comedy that has ever been
written in the English language. This
is saying a great deal. Local theatre
goers will have an opportunity of
judging of the truth of the state
ment on Feb. II, when n revival of
caste" will be presented at the Hi
nOis by a notable company of fam
Gus players including Mary Scott,
Robert V. Ferguson, Countess de
Castlevecchio. William Hazeltine,

and Sadie Handy. Since the an
nouncement was first made of this
revival, the application for seats at
the box office have been so enormous
that all indications point to the larg-
est audience of the season.
