AN ACT NOT ON
PRINTED PROGRAM
Bride and Groom Were ''Vic-
Tins" at the Gennett Yes
terday Afternoon.
THEY OCCUPIED A BOX
BROTHER OF THE GROOM TAKES
PART IN THE SHOW AND HE
STARTED FUN FOR HIMSELF
AND THE AUDIENCE.

The mere act of taking a seat in
the box at the Gennett theatre, at
tracts only momentary attention un-
der ordinary circumstances, but yes
terday afternoon the people in the pit
were strangely attracted to beauti-
full young woman and handsome
young man who quietly slipped into
the theatre and down to the left box,
a few moments before the curtain
rang up on I'm the Hands of the
Gar" a drama presented by the Van
Dyke & Eaton company which is
holding the boards at the Gennett
theatre this week.
II was a strange something that
held the attention of the people, the
young man and woman were both
handsome and beautiful, but many
such people have also entered boxes
at the theatre who have been like
wise beautiful and handsome, but
never caused such pronounced fur
~.
The little smiles, the shy glances,
the bushes, all contributed to the
opinion formed by the large audience
that the couple were lovers and
greatly devoted.
The gaze of the audience was soon
directed however to the play but af-
ter the curtain had fallen on the first
act, the gaze was again directed in
the way of the young couple, but this
time in far different manner, it was
to laugh at their confusion.
James E. Mccoy a member of the
company, came on to do his turn
instead he began at once 10 shower
the couple with rice, old shoes and in
fact nearly every other thing that
could be found behind the scenes.
The audience quickly responded by
grinning, then smiling and when a
small card was pinned to the box
publishing the fact that the young
people were "a happy pair, the au-
dience roared. The couple blushed.
The little card bearing the message.
Just Married" was then posted and
it was another signal for an outburst
of applause which lasted for almost
fifteen minutes. The card fell at one
time, and the young groom stopped
over and replaced it on the nail
where it had first been placed, in or
der to show the people. who had
laughed till their sides were sore,
that he was not at all embarrassed. |
As to whether or not he succeeded,
opinions differ but at least he receiv-
ed the good will of the audience as
did his blushing bride.
1t was later learned that the bride |
groom was no other than George A. |
Mccoy of Indianapolis, brother of !
the man whom had played the joke /
on him. Mr.. Mccoy is printer in |
indianapolis and was married Mon
day afternoon and the happy young
couple came to Richmond Immediate I
~ to spend their honeymoon with the I
groom's brother. They will remain I
in Richmond during the remainder of /
the week but the joking brother said |
yesterday that it was safe to predict /
that Mr.. Mccoy and his blushing
bride would never again occupy a |
box. for fear of further embarrass-
ment.

Career of the Showmen.
If the sale is made it will close the
show career of one of the most re-
markable men in Indiana. Henry B.
Gentry is not yet forty years old, but
he has made a fortune in the dog and
pony show business in the last eigh-
teen years. When he was a mere
boy he was travelling with the Norris
dog and pony show, which was one of
the first of the kind on the road. Com
ing home one fall, he decided to go in
to the business for himself. A few
weeks later he gathered up a score or
more of dogs, and after month of
training, gave his first exhibition in
the old opera house of this city, which
is still used as a show house. The first
night he did not have more than 100
people to see his exhibition, and he
has often said it was the most trying
time of his life, but the few who were
in the house were pleased and went
away praising the exhibition. The
next two nights the opera house was
crowded.
This "staked' him. and with 1925
in his pocket, he started for Bedford.
and other small towns of
those days having good success. and at
the end of the first year he returned
to Bloomington with more than $4,000
in his pocket. He set about at once
10 improve his show and added few
ponies. The following year he dorr
bled his let income. Until then he
had travelled in baggage cars with his
dogs and ponies, but the third year he
equipped a special car, and his three
brothers joined him. From that day
until the present the shows have
grown with each year. and at one time
hey had four different exhibitions on
he road.

LOCAL NOTES OF INTEREST.

The Paducah Indians will play two
more exhibition games before the
opening of the season. These games
will be played Saturday and Sunday
between the Indians and Alton Blues,
of Alton, ILL.,, in the Trolley league.
Lloyd and his team are. working hard
daily and getting over the soreness.
Haas, Wetzel and several other men,
bers of the team are still very stiff,
but applications of lotions are being
made and steady, light work perform
ed each day. They will all be in trim
for the opening of the league.
"Rube' Chenault stated that he
would probably be in the game by
Saturday. The nail on the first finger
of the throwing hand was lifted by a
foul tip, and he cannot grip the ball
to throw ii.
Lloyd will keep the entire aggre-
cation here until the opening OF the
season and will then know which
men he will turn loose.

Wallace c. Dyer, OF the Evansville
Courier, formerly of Henderson. is
quoted as saying the defeat Of the
Evansville Irish-German bunch is at
tributed to the work of the umpire.
He ought to have been here and seen
the raw deal the Indians got. Griffin
was as "rotten" for one side as
much as for the other. He meant
well but could not see it right. The
defeat of the Evansville team can be
set down to two things: First, SUI
perior playing on the part of the In
dians and nervousness on the part
of the Evansville team. The Evans
vile bunch thought 1t would have a
walk over, and when the strength of
the Indians was seen, lost some OF
the confidence and took up the fight
in earnest.

That the several American medicinal
roots, the concentrated glyceric extracts
OF which make up DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, have the strongest
kind OF endorsement by scores of lead
ing medical writers of all the several
schools OF practice, brief glance at

will show. OF Golden Seal root, which
is one of the prominent ingredients of
"Golden Medical Discovery, "Dr. Roberts
Bartholow, of Jefferson Medical Col
lege, says: rVery useful as q stom-
achic istomach) tonic and in atomic
dyspepsia. Cures gastric (stomach)

the gall duct, jaundice and constipa-
ton as diseases which the use OF
Golden Seal root overcomes also
catarrh of the intestines, even when
il has proceeded TO liberation, is
remarkably benefited by Hydrastis

cises an especial influence over mu-
cous surfaces. Upon the liver it
acts with equal certainty and ef-
ficacy. As a cholagogue Qiver invig-
orator. il has few equals" DIR. Coe
also advises it for affections of the
spleen and other abdominal viscera
generally, and for scrofulous and gland
ular diseases, cutaneous eruptions, in
digestion, debility, chronic diarrh9a,
constipation, also in several affections
peculiar TO women, and in all chronic
arrangements of the liver; also for
chronic inflammation OF bladder, for
which DR.. Coe says "it is one of the
most reliable agents OF cure"
Prof. Hobart A. Hare, NJ. d., OF the

root that il is rof service in chronic
catarrh OF the stomach and bowels,
following abuse OF alcohol, and as
tonic after malarial fever" He further
says, it uhas distinct anti-malarial
influence" Also ogood in all catarrhal
conditions, as uterine catarrh, leucor-
rhpa, ETC., and as "a curative agent In
chronic dyspepsia
Prof. Laurence Johnson, M. D., of
the Medical Department, University

praise OF Golden Seal root, especially
for its tonic effects in conyalescence
from acute diseases and its special
tpiiO luilutuCt upon uluCouc cuiidCto

Doctors Barton and Tully recon-
mended Golden Seal root as a pure
