AT THE EMPIRE.

The 1928 season was inaugurated
at the Empire yesterday afternoon,
with an opening bill, which is first
class in every respect, and inasmuch
as Manager Dolly has promised his
patrons that the high standard act in
the opening bill will be maintained
throughout the season, the outlook
for lovers OF vaudeville is exceedingly
rosy. The entire house has been re-
decorated and frightened. There was
not a weak act on the bill, and the
way that the audience applauded
each number was an evidence of the
fact that the show is a winner.
The six O'Connor sisters were the
hit of the show. These girls gave a
mixed repertoire of semi-classic and
rag numbers which elected tumultu-
Gus applause Their voices blend har,
moniously, and their work is artistic
Some good comedy is mixed IN, and
On the whole the act is one Of the
best which will be seen.
The Great Eiol topped the bill with
a playlet. the scene OF which is laid
in the mountains of Switzerland Flo
is the whole cast himself, and makes
81 different changes, which are sc
3 lightening-like in their rapidity that
scarcely a break is made in the dia
! logue. He carries a wealth OF seen

L. II. Morgan of 2910 Sixth avenue,

FOR Hay Fever and Rose Cold
Try EIy's Cream Balm. It
Gives Instant Relief

''Balm" is just the word for this
soothing, healing, antiseptic Cream. Its
effects in cases of Hay Fever and Rose
Colds are almost magical. You just
grease the nostrils with little Of the
Cream, inhale the pleasant, aromatic
fumes; and in few minutes your head
begins to clear, the soreness is relieved,
and the sneezing, shifting and weeping
stopped. People who have suffered for
years with Hay Fever and Rose Cold
can be free from all the distressing
symptoms by simply using Ely's Cream
Balm morning and night during the Hay
Fever Season.
Hay Fever is due to an irritated, in
famed condition of the mucous men,
brane Gnside skim of the nose and
throat. Strong powders, snuffs and
sprays simply aggravate the trouble,
but Ely's Cream Balm soothes, heals and
strengthens the raw, sore membranes,
and in this way not only relieves the
trouble but prevents its return.
All druggists sell and recommend it.

it according to directions--get your
money back if you are not satisfied.

How much do you think would be

asked the company's agent.
What has been your idea?" asked
Ruef.
Il have had in mind about 500,
answered the agent.
You should think in tens of thous
ands instead of thousands" answered
Ruef. The men in this company are
accustomed to large transactions and
to paying large attorneys fees. They
would, l imagine, lose all respect for
the standing OF an attorney who would
be satisfied with so small a fee"
Thereupon Ruef demanded S25O,000
In few days he was summoned to q
further conference with the agent.
How would $15O,OOO do for that
fee?" he was asked.
Lets split the difference" Ruet
replied
Two hundred thousand dollars was

ity of writing a signature on either
side" writes Ruef said 5000 900 was
