The Old Homestead to be Presented
at The Colonial Tonight.

at The Colonial Tonight.
Americas greatest success dear to
the hearts of millions the country
over comes to The Colonial Theatre
tonight
Year after year audiences so large
as to test the capacity of the largest
theatres throughout he country have
greeted Joshua Whitcomb, Cy
Prime, Seth Perkins, Eb. Ganzey,
aunt Matilda, Rickety Ann, Happy
Jack, and all the other characters
in Denman Thompson's famous
drama of New England life, 1.-THE
Old Homestead" and have laughed
and wept by turns over the quaint,
homely bits of comedy and pathos
which constitute it's chief charm.
Moreover, the atmosphere of 1.-THE
Old Homestead" at once so peace
full and so bracing, together with
the genuine touch of nature, which
makes the whole world kin, serves
to enhance its every feature and to
bring the audience into the closest
relations with both the player, and
the production This is the 25th
season of ''The Old Homestead"
The cast is practically the same as
last season. In fact, the manage
ment of the company believes in
keeping the same company that
made the early successes of THE
Old Homestead" as intact as pos.
sible Some of the company have
been in the cast for many years.
MIR. Frank Thompson, son of Mr..
Denman Thompson, for years has
had the management and direction
of the grand old play. His atten-
ton and detail accounts in no small
way for the merited success of this
beautiful idyl of New England. The
same company as last season will be
seen here.
''At The Colonial"
st. Johnsbury's favorite "Gladys
Klark and her excellent Company"
open a three nights engagement
commencing Thursday night, pre-
senting a repertoire of high class
royalty productions. The opening
play "a Wife's Secret comedy
drama in four acts will be presented
for the first time at popular prices.
Miss KIark has been very successful
in the play and the leading role fits
her so well that many think the
author had her in mind when he
wrote the play. The other plays
presented here during her engage
ment will be :'The Tiger and the
Lamb" and 1.-THE Dixie Girl" Be-
tween the acts high class special |
ties will be introduced by Frank
Clayton the Merry Minstrel, Ten
ney and Allen in novel juggling and
toe dancing, Sam Barlow the some
what different comedian, and Master
Valmore the little boy with the big
voice.

w. F. Williams Tells of Tonic
That Renewed Vitality.
Feels Like a Young Man at
Seventy-Seven.
ENDORSEMENT GIVEN.
Didn't Think Any Remedy Could
Produce So Quick a Change.
Sleep is Now Refreshing and
Appetite is Good.

Mr.. w. F. Williams, residing at 1927
South Wichita street, Wichita, and
also well and favorably known in To
peka, has this to say of '.Tona Vita, >
| the new tonic that is making such a
record in Topeka, at present 81 have
| been sick for some time. I never did
know exactly what was the matter
with me. I just felt half dead all the
time. I got. no enjoyment from any
thing and could not eat or sleep or
properly attend to my affairs.
81 felt as tired in the morning as
when 1 went to bed and stayed that
frightful state and the least little thing
would upset me and make me very
nervous.
st caught cold eaGily and had a poor
circulation and very little strength. My
appetite was poor and when I did eat
heartily would be troubled with in
digestion.
Il got some of this iona Vita after
talking with one of the specialists The
first thing 1 noticed I began to sleep
better and did not toss all night as
formerly. Then my appetite began to
improve and my food did not distress
each day and now 1 hardly seem like
the same person.
"I have tried much medicine in the
past, but nothing I have taken COM
pared with this. 1t has made me into
a well man when / had about given
up hope"
The specialists who are introducing
the new tonic in Topeka, say that sew
eral thousand people are now taking
the medicine in this city.
1--WE are selling "Tona Vita to a
great many people here" said one of
the specialists recently, "but when you
think that this city has at least 10000
debilitated, half sick people who would
be Immensely benefited by the tonic,
it does not seem as if we are accom-
plishing as much as we should. How
ever the sale is growing larger very
fast as people who are taking the med
icine tell their friends what it has
done, and this does more than any
thing else to make people realize what
a really wonderful medicine 'Tona
Vita is.
I'VE will continue to meet callers at
the Arnold Drug Co., 523 Kansas Ave.,
from a. m. to 8 p. M, as long as we
remain in this city. If the tonic does
not do all we claim for 1t the purchase
