personal touch with the Revolution,

METROPOLITAN

Before an enthusiastic audience as
sembled in the Metropolitan Theatre
last night the San Carlo Opera Com
pany presented La Traviata.'
Though the mounting and costum-
ing was not all that could be desired,
voices OF splendid quality made up
for the lack. The work of the prin-
cipals was characterized by earnest
ness and perfect familiarity with the
score.
The part Of vio1etta was sung by
Amelia Sanborn, an American girl.
of whom great deal may be heard in
the near future. She possesses a So
prano of great purity and fiexibillty, a
fine stage presence, and is an actress
of great worth. She reused her au-
dience to the greatest pitch Of enthu-
siasm last night. and easily bore off
the honors of the performance.
Juan ximines assumed the role of
Alfredo, and the father, Germont, was
sung by Giuseppe Pimezzoni The
doctor was Ernesto Anzaloni.
Some delay in starting the perform
ance was caused by the fact that the
orchestra pit in the theatre was too
small for the twelve musicians, and
they were compelled to use the first
row of seats.

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS And
FOOD FERMENTATION
py . stonach speclalist

As specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment OF
stomach troubles, l have been forced to
the conclusion that most people who
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolutely healthy
nnd normal. The real trouble, that
which causes all the pain and difficulty,
is excessive acid In the stomach agra
vated by food fermentation. Hyperacid-
ity irritates the delicate lining of the
stomach and food fermentation causes
wind which distends the stomach abb
normally, causing that full bloated feel.

Interfere with and retard the process of
digestion. The. stomach is usually
healthy and normal, but irritated al

eIements-acid and wind. In all such
cases-and they comprise over 90 per
cent of all stomach dificulties--the first
ind only step necessary is to neutralize
he acid and stop the fermentation by
.aking IN a little warm or cold water
Immediately after eating, from one to two

which is doubtless the best and only
really effective antacid and food correc-
tive known. The acid will be neutral

most instantly, and your stomach will at
once proceed TO digest the food in a
healthy, normal manner. Be sure to ask
vour druggist for the bisurated mag

terly lacking in its peculiarly valuable
properties.-F. J. G.-Advertlsement.

THE MILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY

about, and there we're boxes anc
chairs and a large chest. Men evil
IDENTIFY met here, possibly after some
desperate adventure against society
She found nothing to reward hen
hardihood, and as she was in the aci
of moving toward the caves door she
beheld with terror that it was NOV
ingl
She was near the chest at that mo-
ment. The cave was not deep one
There was no tunnel, only q wall
Resolutely she raised the lid Of the
chest, stepped inside, and drew the
lid down. She was just in time. The
door opened and three men entered,
talking volubly. They felt perfectly
secure in talking as loudly as they
pleased. To Florence IL seemed al
most impossible that they did not
hear the thunder of her heart? Strain
her ears as she might, she could
gather but little of what they said,
except:
IF Hargreave had this paper we
might all be put on the defensive.
To an outsider it is a blank paper.
But the boss will be able to read 1t.
- The speaker moved away
from the vicinity of the chest and she
heard no more.
Very deity Florence raised the lid
just enough to peep out. The man
who had been talking was putting
the note In his hip pocket. AS he
turned toward the chest he sat down
on the soapbox Immediately In front
of the chest An inspiration came to
the girl, an exceedingly daring one.
She took her liberty in her hands as
she executed the deed. But the dim
ness of the cave aided her. When
she crouched down again the magic
paper was hers.
1t seemed hours to her before the
men left the cave. As she heard the
hidden door jar i'll closing she raised
the lid and stepped out, breathing
deeply. The paper she had purloined
was indeed blank, but Jones or Jim
would know what to do with 1t. And
wouldn't they be surprised when she
told them what she had accomplished
all alone. Her exultation was OF short
duration. She heard the whine of
the door on It's hinges. The men we're
returning. Why?
They were returning because they
had discovered @ woman's shoeprint
outside. 1t pointed toward the cave,
freshly, and there was none coming
away. To re-enter the chest would
be foolhardy 1t would be the first
place the men would look. She
glanced about desperately. She saw
but one chance, the we'll. And even
while the door was swinging inward,
letting the brilliant sunshine enter,
she summoned up the courage and let
herself down into the well, which
proved to be nothing more or less
than an underground river!

PARAMOUNT

One OF the most unique, spontaneous
and pleasing demonstrations ever ac-
corded a film favorite was extended to
Mary Pickford, the Famous Players
Film Company popular star, who is
appearing in Behind the Scenes, this
week at the Paramount Theatre on
Broad street. Newark, when Willard
Johnson. representing the motion pic
ture exhibitors and public of Aus
tralia, last week brought her an I'M
mense silver loving cup and big al
bum of autographs from her ads1irers
across the Pacific, as a mark of ap-
probation Of her art.
Miss Pickford was rehearsing when
Mr.. johnson arrived, and Daniel Froh-
man stepped on the stage, stopped the
rehearsal and introduced Mr.. john
son. For a few minutes after the
presentation the well-known actress
struggled between smiles and tears
then, her face alight with happiness,
she accepted the tribute in a neat
speech.
Attached to the album was the great
seal Of the city of Sydney. which has
never before been attached to any but
official documents. The loving cup
was purchased with 1851 Aus
tralian pennies, donated by Miss Pick
ford's admirers. The crest engraved
on the cup is that of the city OF sgd
ney the first time in the history of
that municipality that the official
coat Of arms has been engraved on
loving cup rendered as a demonstra-
ton of appreciation to the fame and
popularity of an actress.
Behind the Scenes" the picture in
which Miss Pickford appears, is said
to be the best that has been shown at
the Paramount and displays the best
acting by Miss Pickford.

Curtain Calls

cation. This time the courageous
soul accuses the dramatic critic of
this paper as follows:
Last year when Damaged Goods
played in this city your paper re-
fused to say anything in regard to
the play. You said 1t was not fit
subject for a play. This year, when
it lis being played by the Forsberg
Players, you do not use such a high
moral tone. It is the same play, and
there is no more excuse for 1t now
than there was, then. You know
people remember these things"
There is more, but this will do for
the present. If Providence spares
the dramatic critics life until to-
morrow's issue of the Evening Star
O surprise will be sprung for the ben
eft of "a Theatregoer."
