is another preparation for stomach
troubles. 1t is impossible for one remedy
to cure all forms of dyspepsia, for the
reason that some people have 700 much
acid in their stomachs, while others do
not have enough. 1t is a physical inn
possibility for the same remedy to re-
lieve both of those conditions.
Barney's Compound is especially rec
commended where there is an excess of
acid, and where catarrhal conditions
exist. For that soreness of the stomach
it never fails to relieve.

1t was while playing in The New

on she has been constantly before the

been so fortunate as to book Miss
Marion Barney, for whom it was es-
pecially written by> Paul Armstrong
Miss Barney, who is a native OF
Oakland and a graduate of the Uni
versity of California, was appearing In
Daniel Frohman's production of The
Embassy Ball" when Armstrong sh-
gled her out as an ideal actress for the
role of Mrs. Brandon, and he built the
character to fit her personality and
acting methods. But after the play
was written Frohman refused to re-
lease the clever California girl from
her contract with him, and the part
was given to another. When the Al
cazar management learned that THE
Heir to the Hoorah" was obtainable
for stock presentation and that Miss
Barney was resting at her mothers
home In Oakland arrangements for
her return to the stage this week
We're quickly made. As her debut was
at the old Alcazar eight years ago. no
introductions were necessary. THE
Heir to the Hoorah" has to do with the
romance of Joe Lacy, a big hearted
westerner who owns the ''Hoorah"
mine and who is inveigled into mar
rying shallow minded Newport belle.
After an heir is born he learns that it
was his money and not himself that
attracted the girl, and the remainder
of the play is largely made up of his
efforts to rehabilitate himself in the
esteem of his rugged ''pards." from
whom he had been estranged by his
wife's desire to polish his manners.
The play is one pleasurable thrill of
happy humor and wholesome pathos.
All the Alcazar favorites will be
seen with Miss Barney in THE Heir
to the Hoorah." Bertram Lytell prom
ises to be no less engaging as Lacy
than he was in the Augustus Thomas
play I'm Mizzoura." and Will r. Wal
ling, Howard Hickman, Ernest Glen
dinning, Burt Wesner, John B. Maher,
Louise Brownell, Daisy Lowering and
Adele Belgarde are congeniaIly cast.
The staging will be realistic and up to
the Alcazar standard.

Juror in the east with her graceful

Rosaire and Dorete are team of
gymnastic comedians and tumblers.
They will present an act called THE

to be great laugh provoker. Avery

on the stage, will make their appear

idols of vaudeville and their act is rich
in quaint humor. This will be the last
