PARK THEATRE

Ceremonial in India in which eae- phanIts do not take part seems lack ing in something essential. Those who have seen previous Durbars never tired of telling the less experienced that they had no idea of what Indian pageantry could be uI1ti 1they had been present at an elephant proces- sion. The pageant arranged at Cal cutta in honor of bheir Imperial Maj esties certainly justified the state ment. So imposing and even over whelning a spectacle could not be conceived By any one who had not seen it. and thanks to Kinemacolof, those who have no opportunity for Eastern travel, may see it also, in all the gorgeous coIors of reality. Moth ing like 1t has ever been achieved be fore even by Kinemaco1or. Such colors were in evidence at this pag- cant as are never found at ordinary ceremonial in any country, and Kline
 na.color faithfully reproduces them aM rich purpdes and plum-colors. dark reds and browns. gold and silver lus- tres. light blues and orange-in fact, pretty we'll all the colors of the spec trum are to be seen in the pictures of this procession The pictures will be shown at the Park the first three days of next week.

The seen ic beauty of the Catski1l mountains, where the play is laid. provides a wide scope for the stage artist, and the opportunity has been embraced kunoff & Schrock, Miss Cleveland's managers, who have provided for the play stage settings which will rival in beauty and magnifcence anything yOl PICSCALSd O01OIS a.

 Act one of the play presents a de- Hghtfu1 view of the village of Falling Water, in the Catski11s; act two shows Rips home, and his quarrel with his wife Gretchen, which winds up with his departure for the mountains. The third act is laid in the heart of the mountains, and relates the awakening of Rip from his long sleep. The fourth act tells of his return to Fall ing Water. while the fifth and last act shows the home of Derrick von Beekman. with Rips recognition and the final denouement. It easily be seen that there is plenty of oppor- tunity for rare scenic display, and the patrons of the Lyric the coming week will be given the finest treat in this direction they have yet experienced. So well have all the productions of the Cleveland company been given, dramatically and scenically, this season, that feast of delight may be anticipated in the forthcoming pre- auction of this wonderfully charming pl ly, which will interest all ages, and both sexes.
 The younger folk will want to see the play of which they have heard so much, and the older playgoers will want to renew their acquaintance with quaint fun loving Rip, and his boon companions. The week to come is sure to be pronounced success, and the seats are already selling very rapidly.

HARD TO DROP

A young Calf wife talks about
coffee:
1T was hard to drop Mocha and
Java and give Postum a trial, but my
nerves were SO shattered that was

about that time friend came to
live with us, and noticed that after
he had been with us a week he would
not drink his coffee any more. asked
him the reason. He replied, 4 have
not had a headache since I left off
drinking coffee, some months ago, till
last week, when / began again, here at
your table. / don't see how anyone
can like coffee, anyway, after drink
ing Postum!
Il said nothing, but at once ordered
a package of Postum. That was five
months ago, and we have drank no
coffee since, except on two occasions
when we had company, and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night. We were
convinced that coffee caused his suf-
fering, SO we returned to Postum, con-
vinced that the coffee was an enemy,
instead of a friend, and he is troubled
no more by insomnia.

weight, and my nerves have ceased to
