sudden menace in his tone. But that
amt the question. Is this note good

''BilI Strickland don't stand no more

''The two helpless fools!" muttered
old Eph Tucker to himself. I've got

ENTERTAINMENTS
THEATRICAL GOSSIP

in New York where it created a con-
siderable amount of comment.
AS an added attraction Watson and
Flynn will more than make good. 1t
was only by special efforts that the
Plaza booking staff were able to en-
gage this clever team for the balance
of this week. These two comedians
were the hit of every bill where they
have appeared this season. Bridge
port will surely receive them favor
ably. Another bright comedy pair of
renown are Kittirer and McC1ay,
whose act consists of a lively stepping
and songs teeming with up-to-date-
ness.
Lovers of circus work out of the
ordinary will find an act to their spe-
cial liking in the Emile Sisters. They
are two young and clever girls whose
work in the air. has been the fea ture
of the largest tented shows in the
country and were only persuaded to
enter the vaudeville field by the
CLEAN of the princely salaries paid.
Another act of a sensational charac-
ter are The Three Romans, who's e
work on the tottering ladders is sim
ply marvellous. Without any support
they pose and do other dextrous
tricks on the extreme top of the fraiI
structures. The Sylphanos in a mu-
steal act will display their skill to
great advantage. The latest day
light photo plays will add divertise-
ment to this popular vaudeville bill.

FOX'S LYRIC THEATRE
(By the Fox Lyric Press Agent.


The last three days of the week,
starting with the matinee, brings the
best show Of the season to the Fox
Lyric. This is the week where road
attractions work for half salary or
lay off without pay, but in vaud eviIle
it is different especially on the Fox
circuit where just as good salaries
and where the shows are just as ex-
pensive in July as in January.
The headIiner for today is Pun in
a Butcher Shop, a. pantomime aero
batic comedy act in which seven pan
tominists including six men and one
woman appear. The act is a scream
from start to finish.
From the home of Kubelik comes an
other wizard of the bow. His name
is Brocco and he fiddles off conpo-
sitions of the great masters and rag
time in a fascinating manner.
Pembroke Robinson and Co. have a
comedy sketch called "a Horse on F'a-
ther''. There are three people in the
act and the fun is fast and furious.
There is no more pleasing speciality
in vaudeville than a corking good sis
ter team, and the Lyric-vviH -tret out
De Iisle and Vernon, two of the class
lest steppers that have gone over the
grand circuit of Fox Vaudeville. Mr..
Fox will give two ventriloquiSts in
one act just for good measure. Thorn
ton and West, a man and woman, with
the latter even more clever than her
partner. It is an absolute novelty
for the dummy talks to himself in two
different voices. The Eugene Cowles
and Mary Garden of co1ored vaudeville
are Downs and Gomez, brother and
sister. who came from a wealthy West
Indies family and were educted abroad.
The very best plotoplays form the bal
ance of this all star bill

TITO Colonel Todhunter, a country

innate rusticity of soul that
was an essential part of his
being, contact with the throbbing life
of a big city was so rare and foreign
picturesque unlizeuess to the urban
that it never failed to emphasize his
type. He staIked into the busy St
Louis headquarters of the Hon Will
liam J. Strickland on the parlor floor of
the Laclede hotel, the living embodi-
ment of that political figure dear to
the amused metropolitan imagination,

fGIRIS FROM HAPPYIAND.''

Billy w. Watson and "Girls From
Happyland' should create more than
an ordinary sensation when presenting
Tho Flying Dutchman,'' a two act
musical rnix-up at the Park Theatre
the last days of this week. The
new vehicle with which Watson in
tends to increase his popularity has
been written to absolutely fit the char
acteristics of this clever comedian.
This means more than. to simply write
a clever book. Watson has peculiar
tiles, original antics and some quaint
stunts of humor, which had to be ta-
ken into close consideration. With
all this, attention had to be paid to his
thor had to get a most intimate ac-
sons eccentricities as a stage figure.
There is a coherent plot woven
throughout the two acts and even if
''The Flying Dutchman'' had to de-
pend on the literary value of the play
solely it would have to be considered
an enormous success. The musical en-
sem bles, the great many me1odious
ditties and other novel interpretations
will add to the magnificence of the
entertainment. All in all, it is a typi-
cal Joe Hurtig show, a show that
stands out like all the others eman-
ating from the master hand of this
young and fertile producer.
The supporting cast is equal to the
best. Twenty-four enchanting young
women grace the chorus. They will
be seen in many fascinating changes
of costumes. Scenery and electrical
displays will meet with the admiration
of the auditors.

.ATHE LITTLE MILLIONAIRE,

1.-The Little Millionaire When it
comes to building a play with structu-
raj comedy appeal from foundation to
turret, reinforced by superstructure of
me1odic charm, the architectural palm
is conceded to Geo. NJ. Conan, and
The Little Millionaire is by far the
most enjoyable piece of work so far
submitted by this postmaster in mu-
steal comedy craftsmanship. In THE
Little Millionaire he is said to have
again demonstrated his infallibility of
gauging the public pulse by furnish
ing in 1.-THE Little Millionaire an en-
tertainment that for wholesome, in
vigorating and Iaugh-compelling fun
outclasses, in point of witty chatter
and charm of me1odic composition,
any play that has so far fallen from
the magic pen in this author of a long

EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism
