Of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup Of
California Figs.
AS there is only one genuine Syrup Of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA and as the gen.
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or to return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
of the California Fig Syrup Co, is not found
printed on the front thereof.

authors of "The Old Homestead" The
play scored an immediate success when
first produced, six or seven years ago.
During the past five years, however,
it has been the object of litigation in
the courts and it's public performance
has been forbidden. Recently the case,
after having been several times APP

play then became available for STOCK

The scenes of the play are laid in the
little New England village OF Hard
scrabble. It's central figure is a young
divinity student who assumes charge
of a struggling church ana whose ao-
vanced ideas at first are not popular
with members of his congregation.
The minister meets and falls in love

course the village gossips, male ana

in a Young woman of such antecedents.
In the end however, their opposition
is brushed aside and the story ENDS
happily.
The Burbank company is always
seen to good advantage in plays Oh thls
kind, the quaint New England cnar-
acter types invariably finding faithful
and humorous reproduction at their
hands. 1t is fair to assume, therefore,
that "Our New Minister" will be well
done and that it will prove popular.
Prominent in the cast are William

for Fischer's under the efficient direc-

new eccentric, grotesque and sensa-

to be the feature of the week.
Billy Onslow has a number of taking

backed up by the roly-poly chorus,
sings one or two attractive songs.
Fred Gamble and the inimitable Ons-

degree. trimming with actual fun, irony
and realism. 1t tells a true story, and
will strike home to every user of the
telephone-which in this day means
every progressive person. Nothing in
vaudeville has created a greater laugh,
and while it has flashes of burlesque,
yet in the main it is true. Close in UNI
usual qualities, though of quite an
other class in style, come the Sand
winas, Europe's most sensational aero
bats. Nine. Sandwina is declared by
the Berlin press to be the perfect wo-
man physically and she is not shy in
asserting her charms, in dress or action.
Herr Sandwina is a mere puppet in her

the illustrious name of Martin Beck,

Gordon and Marx, the "Weberfields of
vaudeville" ought to be very welcome
with their tongue-twisting talk and
their oddities of demeanor. They rank
high as entertainers and will be found
up to their reputation. Step, Mehlinger
and King are a trio of entertainers who
distinguish themselves with the adjec-
tive premier" And all reports indi-
cate that they live up to their adjec-
tive, too. They complete a list of new
corners, all different, who combine with

Marriage in a Motor Car; Adeline

Lew Sully, the minstrel man, and Jolly

fine bill.
GRANDPA Night on Broadway"
as played at the Grand opera house by
the Murray and Mack company, has
been so genuinely popular that the
management has determined to con-
tinue this three-act rollicking song and
fun show for another week, commence
ing with the matinee today. The piece
is admirably adapted to Murray and
Mack and their clever assistants while
the chorus has good looks gorgeous
gowning and sprightliness. The mu-
steal numbers introduced during the
three acts of "a Night on Broadway"
are of the sort that the average theater
patron likes, and the people who visit
the Grand opera house take delight in
listening to the singing of such recent
song successes as "a Night on Broad
way" Liza" when You First Kiss
the Last Girl You Love-" "The Yama
Yama Girls" Cable, Take an Example
from Your Father" Casey JONES'" and
the dozen others, that go to complete
the musical program of this lively
show.
Another of the Murray and Mack
lively successes, Shooting the Chutes,"
will be given next week, with new
songs direct from recent Broadway
productions.

auctions this season is the elaborate

much admired by women patrons of the

approval

her latest beaux and joshes with the

at the Majestic, but have broken their
own record as well. Capacity audi
ences have greeted their every appear
ance, and both stars and their vehicle
have been enthusiastically received.
The piece is a comedy with music
rather than a musical comedy. Its fun
is along new lines, and it is unceasing.
Literally interspersed throughout the
three acts, however, are big song num-
bers, finely sung and picturesquely
staged. The chorus, both male and fe-
male, is numerically strong, unsteady

best test of a songs popularity is. of

DOGS RACE 412 MILES

Alaskan Teams Start in Arctic BIiz-

SEATTLE, Wash, May Sin the
most gruelling race of dog teams
Alaska has ever known, the pluck NAL
amutes, owned by AL Berger, carried
off first and second honors in the ALI
Alaskan sweepstakes for $11, 900 and
annexed in addition the Suter gold cup.
The race was from Nome to Candle, a
distance of 412 miles, and much of it
was run under conditions that put the
animals to bitter test of strength and
endurance.
No American derby ever enlisted i'll
the United States a keener popular in
terest than this flight of dogs across
the stretch of country between the
starting and finishing points. The
racers were sent away on their exact
ing contest last Tuesday. Since that
time business at Nome has been prac-
tically at q standstill.
The focal points for the townspeople
were at the stands of the bookmakers.
At these thousands of dollars were
wagered on the result, the biggest sin
gle bet having been placed on ST.
berian team. A pool of an even $780,
900 was put up that these animals
would score victory One wager OF
$4,000 was made that the race would
not be finished within ninety hours.

race. The dogs got away in blind
ing snowstorm. Thermometers We're
registering 10 degrees below zero. A
strong wind swept the snow and ice
clad hills. The dogs did not mind the
cold, but the wind-tossed flakes of
snow plainly gave them distress With
all the zest of the chase they moved
off at the word while the crowd cheered
and the drivers waved good by, not
certain they would come out of the
contest alive.
Details of the race from start to
finish are lacking, but it is known that
the Berger malamutes No. 1 and No. 2
teams, driven by Scotty Allen and
Percy Blatchford respectively finished
in the order named. A mixed team of
hounds and bird dogs driven by George
Fink came in third.
The Siberian dogs, which were the
favorites and heavily backed, became
snowbound and were hopelessly out of
the race. Their driver was forced to
turn back. The fate of some of the
other starters is still unknown. Teams
are struggling back to Nome, some of
them in pitiful condition. 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 changed hands.
