This remedy, as all readers doubt

biliousness, headaches, sour stom-

Go and See Helen Grayce.

Helen GraXee, who commenced her
weeks engagement, Monday night, at
the Augusta Opera house, gives the
very best example of the representa-
tions of the city stock companies that
amusement patrons can hope to see.
From the performance, Monday night,
it would seem that her company is
just as strong, her plays the same and
her stage setting fully as gorgeous.
Helen Grayce and her players are not
at all in the class with other organ
izations appearing here at popular
prices. This charming actress offers
something widely different, something
artistic ard something we'll worth
while.
Two big audiences were on hand
yesterday, to welcome Miss Grayce.
They found her as in the past a most
gifted actress with a decidedly pleas
ing personality. She has both the
stage presence and the talent and will
become without a doubt big local
fayorite. Charles Aunt" was the bill,
Monday afternoon. and simply con-
vuised the audience.
