Brown Of Harvard"

Mr.. James Young's role in Browne of
Harvard which the Shuberts offer at
the Grand Theatre on Tuesday evening,
Oct. 9th, is that of a wealthy, handsome
chap who is going his own way merrily
through college. and incidentally. IN
known to his benefciaries, is helping
other students. more ambitious than he.
but less able financially to pay the ex-
pense OF their education. One OF these
is Gerald Thorne, who has beaten Brown
in the contest for stroke oar on the crew.
Thorne's sister has been wronged by
Wilton Kenyon, brother as Evelyn
Kenyon, the girl with whom Brown is in
love. Young Kenyon is in the power OF
Cotton. student gambler who is betting
on the English crew. He forces Kenyon
to have the girl disappear just before the
race and takes care that Thorne learns
OF his sisters fight as he is about to
step into the shell. Thorne, wild with
rage, refuses to row but Brown takes
his place and the race is won. As Brown
is being borne, victorious, on the shout
ders OF the students after the contest,
Thorne bursts through the throng and,
in the presence of Evelyn, accuses Brown
of being the cause OF his sister downfall.
He had found that the girl possessed a
check for $500. Brown realizes that
this check has been forged by young
Kenyon but to prevent his fiance from
learning of her brothers disgrace,
Brown allows himself to rest Temporal
rily under the accusation. The skillful
and happy manner in which the author
relieves the hero in such a predicament
form the last act of delightful evening S
entertainment.
Although youthful both in appearance
and ambition, Mr.. Young is, by training
and association an actor of the most
varied experience to the study OF a part
in Brown of Harvard written for him by
his wife, Rida Johnston Young, the
tecnique gained under the tutelage 81 the
two greatest Masters of our time,
Augustin Daily and Sir Henry Irving
His versatility has been tested by his
performance of roles ranging from the
light romantic juveniles OF Shakespeare
with Viola Allen to the sombre. Grabbed
heavies of Ibsen with Mrs. Fiske and his
engagement here should interest all criti-
cal Dlay -pOers

Howe's Great London Shows.

The circus has come and gone and
in its wake is left II train of pleasant
memories such as only circus can
produce in the minds of the small
boy and those of a larger growth
who are devOtees OF the tented show.
Howe's Great London Shows had
their tents pitched early last Thurs
day morning and long before the
afternoon performance began the
streets were thronged with the usual
circus crowd. The parade was not IA
''grand, gorgeous, glittering pageant
| OF golden chariots miles in length,
but it was fairly good one and those
who were not pleased certainly
should not express disappointment
or dissatisfaction when it didn't cost
them anything. And the steam
piano, the big elephants, the sleepy
looking camels, and the yellow haired
girl in the cage with the snakes were
| all there
When the afternoon performance
began the tent was we'll filed and
those present seemed to nioy it in
regular circus fashion. 1t was a
good show and came, up to eXpecta-
ton. While there were no thrillers
and nothing new or startling, the acts
taken Individually and collectively
were good-many of them above the
average-and it was a very clever,
clean-cut performance all the way
through. The little Japs were great,
the family of male and female aero
bats, the trapeze, flying rings and
slack wire acts were all good The
costumes were new and bright and
everything about the shsW presented
a pleasing and attractive appear
ance.
The menagerie was small but con-
tanned some fine specimens. The ex-
cellence of the stock was a feature
of the Howe Shows The horses and
ponies were in good condition, fat
and sleek, and beauties of their kind.
Mr.. W. A. Rhodes, the gentlemanly
and courteous press representative, is
the right man in the right place, and
makes friends for himself and his
show wherever he goes Mr.. Rhodes
was here several years ago in the
same capacity with Gentry Brothers,
with whom he was associated for
nine years.

The SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard of this
terrible disease? 1t prevails in that
far-away country-Africa-e
the Congo district. 1t is caused by
the bite Of the tsetse fly When 1t
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep Of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short Of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent it? Mr.. George Hayes, of
Union City, Pa, writes 81 had lost
my appetite, was all rundown, could
not sleep nights. l had tried every
thing without relief Vinol was rec
commended, and to my surprise, it
helped me at once; gave me splendid
appetite, and now l sleep soundly."
What Vinol did for Mr. Hayes, it will
do for every rundown, nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleep.
