"The Winning Widow"

A brighter, wittier, snappier, more catchy musical comedy has never appear ed in Birmingham than "The Winning Widow" now on at the Bijou. It is gay from beginning to end. but the fun in- creases as the comedy moves on to its close, so that instead of becoming wearied the audience is more entertained as time flies and is hardly ready for the curtain to ring down when the last act is fin ished.
 The widow, Florence May, is excel lently adapted to her role, and her work is most excellent. but she is in large measure overshadowed by Donnie Farley, as Gladys Souse. When Miss Farley first appears her performance gives small promise of the success which is to fol- low. But as she comes on time and again. she grows in favor with the spec tatnrS and particularly in the last act

scores decided hit.
 Joe M Fields, who takes the part oi Adam Souse, retired brewer, ;.nd George B. Scanlon, P. Thomas Finnigan, a rich contractor, both lovers of the wid- ow. furnish most of the fun. They kept the audience in an uproar. Both are ar- lists, but Fields is far superior to his companion. His lines are mirth provok- ing and he handles his part with the skill of a born comedian.
 Too much cannot be said in praise of the music. It is tuneful and full of meo- dy. The dancing, too, was superb: though not all of the chorus were possessers of the grace of movement Indispensable Tor the numbers, the dash and skill of the principals, and the beauty of the eos tunes more than made up for thi, lack.
 The production is on for all this week at the Bijou, with matinees Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday, and there is n' doubt that it will prove as popular as anything put on this season.

TO BREAK UP COLD
Some Advice That Will Save Time and Money

Strong drink and quinine may relieve a cold, but it usually does more harm than good.
 To break up a hard cold in either head or chest thousands are using this sensible treatment.
 First of all look after your bowels; If they need attention use any reliable cathartic. Then pour scant teaspoon ful of HYOMEI into a bowl of boiling water, cover head and bowl with towel and breathe for or 10 minutes the pleasant, soothing, healing vapor.
 Do this just before going to bed: your head will feel fine and clear and you'll awake from refreshing sleep minus a cold in the morning.
 For colds, coughs, catarrh, asthma and croup HYOMEI is guaranteed. A fifty cent bottle Is all you need to break up a cold and this can. be ob7 tained at Norton's drug store and drug gists everywhere.

drive. We want you to realize you
cannot afford to go through this gen.
