above all. a woman who has had
more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases OF
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been go
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fidence of women. and every tcstimo-
NAL letter published is done so with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been
Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 4i2 North saith
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:--
cover year aEoI wrote you a letter asking
advice, as / had female ills and could not
carry a child to maturity / received your
kind letter of instructions and followed youI
advice. / am not only well woman in con-
sequence, but have a beautiful baby girl l
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice as you have done so
much for me-"
just as surrey as Mrs. seSoe4 WAS
cured, will Lydia Z. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia 4. Pinkhans
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which druggist may offer.
II you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn. Mass for special advice. 1t is
free and always helpful.

CHORUS GIRLS
FLEE FROM FIRE
Casino Theater in New York
Bursts Into Flame During
the Rehearsal of an Opera

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Casino
the New York playhouses and the
scene of the production of many fam
GUS light operas, was damaged by fire
to-day The loss will reach $50, 900.
The blaze began in a dressing-room
Oh the third floor over the stage, while
rehearsal of chorus girls of the
Lady Teazle" company was in pro-
gress. Though they were thrown in a
panic, the members of the company
escaped uninjured, with the exception
of one chorus girl, who fell while go
ing down the stairs of the stage en-
trance and was painfully but not
dangerously hurt.
The Lady Teazle'' company, which
was reheatsing when the fire broke
out, is headed by Lillian Russell, but
she was not in the theater at the time.
About forty chorus girls were rehears-
ing in costume and were crowding up
narrow stairway to a dressing-room
on the third floor, above the stage,
when burst of flame and smoke from
the dressing-room above drove them
back. In their frantic haste one girl
was thrown down and had to be car
ried out of the theater. She was not
badly hurt.
So swift was the advance of the
flames along the flimsy material in the
scenery that the chorus girls were in
a panic when they rushed for the stage
exits. ignoring the efforts of the stage
manager to calm them, they ran
shrieking down the stairs, arrayed in
Of 1a
were given shelter in the near by
stores.
A stage carpenter, who fingered too
lcng in an effort to save some of the
scenery, was overcome by the smoke,
but revived on reaching the street.
There were no spectators in the the
ater when the fire broke out. Two
hours later the building would have
been occupied by an audience COM
posed principally of women and chill
dren. AS it was, the chorus girls had
some difficulty in escaping the hurried
advance of the flames. The exit of an
audience under similar circumstances
would have been hampered by the fact
that the main entrance is by winding
staircase.
The Casino is located at the corner
of Thirty-ninth street and Broadway,
in the very heart of the theater and
hotel district, and no sooner was the
fire under way. with the bursting of
the blaze and smoke from the third
story windows, than a tremendous
throng gathered on Broadway for
blocks in both directions, stalling all
traffic and hampering the efforts of
the firemen.
In the Casino some of the most
noted of light opera productions have
been presented and achieved their first
and greatest successes. .Erminie" had

ing'' at His Majesty's. 1t is not so
gorgeous a spectacle as the Tree ver-
sion of Shakespeare usually is, yet the
setting is lavish and in good taste, and
with the usual scrupulous attention to
detail.
One interesting feature of the pro-
duction is the inclusion of the scene in
Beatrice's chamber just before she
starts for church. 1t is usually omit
ted and would not be missed from the
present performance except for tie at
tractive stage picture. Another depar-
ture is to make the love scene between
Beatrice and Benedict take place in the
corridor of the church instead of be-
fore the altar. Tree, of course, was
Benedict, while the Beatrice was Wini-
fred Emery, who was greeted uproar-
iously on her return to the stage after
a long illness.
Laurence Irving and Sidney and
Lionel Brough were also in the cast.
PUCCINTS PROTEGE.
Puccini, the Italian composer of La
Boheme," has a new protege and her
name is Butterfly" AS readers may
foresee, this acquisition of the macs
tro's is a sequel to his recent enter
prise of composing an opera on the
theme of John Luther Longs story,
Madame Butterfly" This work was.
it will be remembered, a complete fail
ure-so complete that Puccini's admir-
ers throughout his native land were
greatly cast down. None more SO than
an honest bookkeeper in Genoa, who
declared that outrageous treatment had
been accorded to his favorite composer.
To this bookkeeper a daughter had
just been born and the good man
promptly resolved to have her chris
tened Butterfly. The Registrar of
Births endeavored to dissuade him
from branding his daughter for life, -
as the official put it, but the father was
determined, and so it stands. This
came to Puccini's ears, and though or
dinarily he doesn't care for children, he
asked the father and child to come to
see him. They arrived one fine day,
and not only they but all the little
girls sisters, cousins and aunts," so
that the overwhelmed composer found
himself holding sizable reception. 1t
wasn't wholly treat to Puccini but
e~promised to have an eye on Butter
fly, and her future is thought to be as
sured.

GRIM RUSSIAN
LIFE ON STAGE
Play Barred in the Realm
of the Gar Produced at
Avenue Theater i'm London
Special Dispatch to The Call

LONDON, Feb. I-Eugen Tchiri-
l1off's play "The Chosen People, which
a Russian company is presenting in
Russian for a week at the Avenue The
ater, is one Of the most striking works
seen here in recent years. AS soon as
their London engagement is over the
company viii cross the Atlantic to
give the Tchirikoff piece in the United
States, where il viii not fail to arouse
keen interest, portraying as it does the
grubbing lives of the Jews in Russian
villages, the conflicting ambitions
which divide them and the relentless
persecution to which they are subject
ed. Strangely enough, the play was
gwen for the first time in London on
the evening before the news came of
the wholesale butcnery Of workngmen
in the Cars capital
The Chosen People" which is dis
tinctly a play with purpose, was re-
fused a license in Russia. What
little action it contains takes
place in the shop and living
room Of Lesser Frenkel, an old
Jewish cloclcmaker. The first scenes
abound in impassioned dialogue be-
tween Frenkel. his son Boruch and his
assistant Shloilne, which demonstrate
how strong are the opposing creeds of
ZiOnism and Socialism among them
and their kind.
They have within their narrow
bounds the seeds of civil war, and are
held together only by the common
dread OF the MuscOvite. Every char
acter in the play is study-Shloime,

man; Nachman. the village schoolmas-
ter and fierce champion of Zionism
Beresir, the Christian student, and
LA, the cid clockmaker's daughter.
Tragedy is in the air from the moment
that the curtain rises, and we have an
inkling Of what shape it will take when
it becomes evident that Beresin, the
convert to Christianity, and Liza, the
Jewess, are i'm love with each other.
SLAUGHTER ON STAGE.
The play ends with one of the most
CHASTITY scenes of butchery ever put on
the stage, the members of the entire
household falling victims to an anti
Semitic mob. First the Frenkels' Chris
tian maid servant enters and asks to
be allowed to leave, as the Jews of the
town are to be attacked. Then comes
the news of the outrages at Kishenev,
and policeman arrives and orders the
shop to be closed. The terror-stricken
inmates are busy concealing their valu-
ables and attempting some rude barri-
cades when the noise of the mob is
heard outside. Then comes an affecting
struggle between the heroine's love for
her sweetheart and desire to live and
her attachment to her father and her
creed.
Beresin imDlores her to renounce her
religion, in which she really no longer
believes, but the girls race feeling con-
quers and she stands by her fathers
side 10 face the enemies of her people
The lover presses a revolver upon her,
to be used in the last extremity, and
then the door crashes in, the mob en-
ters and the Jews are struck down with
bludgeon and ak. Darkness descends
upon the stage, Uttered with PROSTATE
forms, and the curtain falls.
