MISS RUSSELL IS
. NOT At BEST IN
THE RIVALS
Sheridan's Play Suffers by Com
parison With Fine Company's
Previous offerings.
BY TARLEroN COLLIER.

There is no necessity for the wor-
ship Of a fetish in this nghtene6,
frightened twentieth century That
a play should be 1.-THE Rivals" writ
ten by Richard ~Brinsley Sheridan,
and presented by Miss Annie Russell
and her worthy company of players,
Is not enough to open the gates for an
unrestrained tide Of extravagant trib-
ute.
Throughout the series of perfor-
mances by Miss Russell's company
there has been the disposition to ac-
cept Goldsmith and Sheridan and
Annie Russell and the other things
as all that is to be desired, merely
because they are Goldsmith and Sher-
idan and Russell. And vet
There were some at the Atlanta
Wednesday night who expressed
frankly something OF Disappointment
in THE Rivals" Mrs Malaprop her
self informed the assembly that
Comparisons are odorous" Which
announcement, as she meant it, was
very true. After the dainty presen-
tation of "She Stops to Conquer
the performance Of THE Rivals" suf-
fered by the natural comparison.
To some of the company, it appear
ed, the lines were new. There was an
occasional hating and stumbling at
words. Then Miss Russell does not
have the greatest opportunity in the
world as Lydia Languish to display
her charming talents. And the play
itself has it shortcomings.
But all that aside, nothing must be
said to detract from the tribute that
should go out to F. Percival Stevens
for his Interpretation Of Bob Acres
1t is likely that there was never a
better BOP.
Fred w. Permain, playing Sir An
thony Absolute, made the most of a
difficult part.
If a good Bob Acres is an essential
for THE Rivals" no less so is an ex-
cellent Mrs. Malaprop. Miss Folliott
Paget made the audience easy or
that score at the very first Of the play
In every way she is fitted to portray
that character, even to a statuesque
bearing that made her convincing.
And Littledale Poyer is probably
the very best David Of them all.

IF KIDNEYS AND
| BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
and Neutralize Irritating
Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness
result from uric acid, says a noted
authority. The kidneys filter this
acid from the blood and pass il
on to the bladder, where it often
remains to irritate and inflame,
causing a burning, scalding SEN
sation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, oblig-
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. Tie suf-
ferer Is in constant dread, the wa
ter passes sometimes with scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again, there is difficulty in void
ing 1t.
Bladder weakness, most folks
call It, because they can't control
urination. While 1t Is extremely
annoying and sometimes very
painful, this is really one of the
most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue
this for two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids In the
urine so it no longer is source
of irritation to the bladder and
urinary organs, which then act
normally again.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive, harm
less and Is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice. combined
with lithia, and is used by thou
sands of folks who are subject to
urinary disorders caused by uric
acid irrita ton. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effer-
vescent lithia- water drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble.
