PROFIT BY RIVER FALLS
PEOPLES EXPERIENCES

Occasional attacks of backache, ir-
regular urination, headaches and
dizzy spells are common early
symptoms of kidney disorders. It's
an error to neglect these ills. The
attacks may pass off for time but
return with greater intensity. If
there are symptoms of dropsy--puf-
fly swellings below the eyes, bloating
of limbs and ankles, or any part of
the body, don't delay a minute. Be-
gin taking Doan's Kidney Pills, and
keep up the treatment until the kid
neys are well, when your old time
health and vigor will return. Cures
in River Falls prove the effective
ness of this great kidney remedy.
John T. Currier, Cedar and Lo-
Gus streets, River Falls, Wis, says:
"Last year was taken with a bad
attack of lumbago and was caused
considerable annoyance until | pro-
cured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
at r. S. Freeman's Drug Store. |
was soon relieved of all my trouble
through their use. Some time later
another member of my family had
an attack of kidney complaint and
used Doan's Kidney Pills with sue
cess. I know that Doan's Kidney
Pills are good kidney remedy and
consequently l gladly recommend
them"

 Some of the situations are almost far cfeal, but at these times the element Of the drama acts as a saving grace.
 The excellent material in the cast also helped matters considerably. Aside from MT Eddinger, the most forceful figure in the cast is Thomas Findlay, who plays the role of Sam Stone. the green political leader. John OHara, as Silas Trimmers, was also very good. The two old secreta- ries employed by the elder Burnitt were clearly drawn, and they were effectively acted by Fred Strong and George A. Wright The other characters were shadowy and especially so were the two feminine personages acted by Miss Ethel Clayton and Miss Ruth Stone.
 The subject of maternity is rather sacred one, at least it is not matter to be treated humorously and employed as the basis of a farce. Aside from this fact Margaret Mayo's new play Baby Mine,' ,' which recently opened at Daly's theatre is about the funniest play that New York has seen in many days.

New York. September 3-(Specialo- Despite the warm weather, the 19l0-l1 theatrical season is rapidly getting under way. Twenty of Broadway's three score or more first-class playhouses, are running full blast, and every week sees the opening of two or three new produc- tlons.
 A number of theatres, of course, are becoming summer musical shows and some of last seasons successes, which have resumed after a brief hot weather rest.
 But there has been an unusual amount of new productions. the majority of which seem destined for long life.
 Although it is generally admitted that the most attractive part of any perform ance is it's girls" yet there are excep- tions to all rules, and Bobby Burnitt, :" one of Henry B. Harris new plays, which recently opened at the Republic theatre, is one of these. It is the mascu- line element that proves to be the mag net in this production in the person of Wallace Eddnger who makes his debut as a fuil-fedged star. MT. Eddinger, despite his youth, is not new to the stage, in fact he has spent the greater part of his young life before the footlights, one

It is a play that deals with New York, the stock exchange and the white slave traffic, and is said to be full of thrills and tears as well as com edy and song.
 In the leading part will be Raymond Paine, who was the big favorite last season in '"The Candy Kid," and who is
 one of the most versatile of the Bijou stars. He is supported by capable com pany which includes dozen principals | and a score of chorus girls.

 OPENS THIS WEEK

Tim Murphy, than whom there IS no more typical American comedian opens the Shubert theatre next Friday night, September 9. His play will be MT. Opp,s a typical American com edy by Alice Began Rice, who wrote the famous Mrs. Wiggs of the Cab bage Patch," and 1t can be said with truth of MT. Opp" that 1t IS better than the former book. The dranall- zation is by Douglas z. Doty' euitoi of McClures Magazine.
 The shubert, which is located al First avenue and Nineteenth street. was formerly the OBrien opera house. and it's reopening will be social event of much interest and importance, as 1t was for years the only theatre III Birmingham, and the most famous stars of the stage have appeared there in the past.
 The theatre is being completely over hauled repainted, refurnished ana made in every way first class for the opening Friday night, and the season of high class amusements that IS to follow.
 The Shuberts have three scenic art ists at work painting sets of scenery to equip the theatre and contractors have a dozen painters at work on the interior decorations and repainting the outside of the theatre. Carpenters and mechanics are busy making the repairs necessary and large vacuum cleaners are sucking all the dust and dirt out of the theatre. New carpets, draper ies, etc., are being installed and the theatre will present an entirely diff ferent appearance before next Friday. nrxi mo nj ieh a nd da V to get the work finished, as the open ing will be several days earlier than was anticipated.
 The initial attraction is well select ed, for Tim Murphy has for many sea- sons opened the high class theatre Of Birmingham and theatregoers regard it as eminently proper that he should open the Shubert season here and at the same time inaugurate their en- trance to Birmingham.
 MT. Murphy is supported by an un- usually strong company this season, and his friends and the newspaper critics are unanimous in stating that the company and the play are both su perior In every way to his previous efforts
 Theatregoers are familiar with Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," and while MT. Opp" Is essentially diff ferent, still the genuine American humor that characterized one is to be found in the other, with a deeper un- der current of feeling and expression.
 The story is of an American, warm hearted, happy souled man seeking to untangle a complicated romance and weave his way out of the many anus ing situations into which the story and his whimsical personality lead him. It Is the kind of comedy that delight ed such great actors as Sol Smith Rus sell, Nat Goodwin, John T. Raymond and w. J. Florence and Joe Jefferson, and MT. Murphy is one Of the only two remaining opponents of that class of American play and comedy.
 MT. Opp" will be seen one night only, next Friday. Seats for the per- formance will be placed on sale at the Shubert theatre box office next Thurs day morning at o'clock.
