OF part songs and solo numb ers, will

In other important matters, such as
rhythmic precision, the singers leave

LITTLE WOMEN" COMING.

Many good things have been said
In advance about the remarkably sue
cessful character play, Little Wo-
men,. which will be the attraction at
the Oliver Wednesday matinee and
night and all of them will be found
to be true. Little Women" is a
dramatization of Louisa NJ. Alcott's
famous story made by Marian de For
est and produced by William A.
Brady.
The play is said to have all the ele-
ments to make it an enduring. sub
Stantial success. 1t is one of those
simple and rather homely plays, slen-
der Of plot. unromantic of spirit, that
live and charm through their keen
ness of characterization, their bright
ly humorous dialogue and occurrences
that are familiar in everyday life.
For the first three acts Of the play,
a replica of the Alcott sitting room
in Concord has been used every de-
tail complete, even to the dish of
apples which "Marmee" Alcott al
ways insisted upon having on the
living room table. 1t was in this room
that the story Of little Women" was
lived. What more fitting than to use
1t for the stage picture? For the
fourth picture the PIumfield apple
orchard is shown in all the golden
glory Of an October afternoon a
veritable harvest home, in which is
brought to happy fulfllment the ro-
nance of the Alcott family. The AL
colts have kept through all these
years many of the identical costumes
and properties used by the Alcott
girls for their homemade plays. and
these are used in the production.
In the company will be found
players whose names are high up in
the dramatic armament. including
Marta Oatman. Jane Marbury, Kath-
Ign Vincent. Virginia Spregge Ia st.
Leon, Lillian Dixon. Polly Griffin,
Frank McEntee, NJ. T. Birmingham.
Garvin Harris. Kraft Walton and
Donald Gallaher.

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in 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 unified for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
shappy 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 Z. Pinkhsm's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
