The fact that its book and lyrics were by

CHESTNUT STREET OPERA HOUSE
The real opening of the Chestnut Street
Opera House, Philadelphia, is announced
for next Monday, September 21st, with
"a Knight for Day." one of the biggest
musical comedy hits scored in recent
years. The engagement is for two weeks
only. Everybody who knows aught Of
recent things theatrical is familiar with
the sensational career of the production
A run of one solid year in Chicago, stay
lasting all last season at Wallack's theatre,
New York, and an engagement continu-
ing throughout its good fortune. GA
Knight for Day" according to general
report, is first of all uproariously funny
Next its score is one of rare charm. The
principals and choruses comprising its
company of seventy are headed by
comedian John Slavin and Miss May
Vokes, pair of the most successful drolls
in the realms of the theatre. Everyone
locally is familiar with comedian Slavin's
ability to evoke mirtl, No funmaker of
all the list visiting Philadelphia annually
is more popular than this little mime.
Nor is Miss May Vokes, his partner in
comic responsibility, less favorably
known in Philadelphia. The beauteous
femininity of the ranks that go to make
up the ensemble phalanxes are already
famous elsewhere for their vivacity,
comeliness and vocal excellence. Robert
B. Smith is the librettist of the piece and
Raymond Hubbell, its composer. Song
hits include "The Little Girl in Blue,
Life is See Saw, " Hang Out the Front
Door Key" I'D like another situation
just like that, What Fools these Mortals
be, " ''Hurrah, Hooray and Hurroo for
that" and "Whiste as you walk out"
An interpolated number by the author
of "Dearie" is entitled, 1.-The Garden of
Dreams" Surprising pageantry go to-
ward the composition of the effects One
of these novelties is a see saw of many
beams, hosts of gay girls and a thousand
lights. Another is giant curtain tissued
throughout with electricity. Two stu
ations in tbs piece have given it inter-
national renown. One of these is an
elopement scene between its pair of low
comedy lovers. The other is an intoxica-
ton incident. The plot revolves about
the adventures and misadventures of a
little waiter who one day tips himself to
the credentials of knight upon whom he
is waiting, starting out thereupon as a
knight on his own account. lilly Day, q
lowly housemaid,. slatternly, awkward yet
coquettish, is the bogus knights consort-

A VERY PRETTY LETTER.

ByrOn's proposal to his wife. Miss

his confidence. observing how chee?lpss
and unsettled his mind and prospects
were, strenuously advised him to mar

Lord Byron fancied the idea of marry
ing Miss Milbanke.
No" said Lady Melbourne: Miss
Milbanke will not suit you. In the first
place, she has no fortune now, and you
want money Immediately. In the next
place, you want a person who Will
have great admiration for your genius:
she has too great an admiration for
herself"
"Well," said Byron, las you please. e
And, sitting down. he wrote a letter
to the lady recommended by Lady Mel
bourne. He received a refusal
Now. you see" said he. Miss Mil
hanke is to be the person, after all
will write to her"

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their UnCeaSinS Work Keeps
us Strong And Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood They work night and day,
When healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, gout, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drOwsiness,
drOpsy, deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys.
William Robinson, Oyster Dealer,
living in Smyrna, Del, says: Il
suffered with disordered kidneys for
four years. The trouble began with
a severe backache which bothered me
a great deal, and later, the kidneys
became weak and irregular in action.
The doctor stated had inflammation of
the bladder but medicine failed to
give me any relief until l procured
Doan's Kidney Pills at Clifton &
Raymond's Pharmacy. After using
this remedy a short time l was al
