Billy Clifford in "Believe Me-

In building up the production OF sBelieve
Me-" the first thing considered was to get
q company together from which nothing
could be desired in the way Of improving
it. This proved quite task, but still
going at it with vim and determination,
the management tried this one and then
another until they secured just the people
they desired. In the upbuilding OF the
play every person selected was looked to
as a speciality artist Of known reputation
for originality and ability, and as result
of the careful selection, a company has
been formed that stands second to none.
The keynote to their success has been the
fact that ability has been the chief're-
quirement throughout. The company's
vehicle, "Believe Me-" is clever comedy
filled to the brim with pretty music. 1t
will be seen at the Grand Opera House on
Monday, Nov. 9Th. 49,
The Louverne Ladies Band and orches-
ira is with "Believe Me" this season.

cert here in front Of McMurray's' Drug

Billy Clifford Coming.

The question arises, why is the success
of Billy S. Clifford in the clever musical
satire Believe Me-" Several good reasons
might be given, in fact myriad numbers OF
them. but the consideration OF q few OF
the most essential will do here. First
Care has been exercised to get bill, that

upon the people before whom it is present.
ed. There is nothing at all in the bill OF

In every detail. The story is pretty, care
fully worked out, the cllmaxes are right
up to the point and cleverly worked up to.
The comedy we'll defined and pure, the
song numbers are up to the minute. Sec
ond-Choice of lead was carefully con-
sidered and no better one could be secured
than Billy S. Clifford, who handles the title
role. Clever to the extreme as comedian.
Third-In selecting a supporting company
! to most capable lead, only the very best
talent possible was to be secured and one
only needs to see the show to realize that
such is the case. Each member back OF
Mr.. Clifford has been especially selected
for some one peculiar qualification neces-
cessary, when combined with the balance
of the company, to make one complete
whole strong in the presentation Of the
production. Here are three good reasons
why this company Is having such unpre-
cedented success in their latest creation.

GERMANS RENEW THEIR
EFFORTS TO REACH
PORTS ON ENGLISH
CHANNEL

Rested, and with fresh reinforce
ments supporting them, the German
Itrcops who have been battling in Bel
cilm and the north of France are re-
newing their efforts to push their way
through the French, British and eBl-
g;an lines TO ports on the English
Channel Not only here, but in the
Areorne region and the Woevre dis
t,:ct, the fighting had been Of the
Gercest character. 1t is said the
laundering of the guns of the Brl-
,i.a warships off Ostend can lie heard
On the English coast.
In all these engagements the deaa
and wounded are multiplying, but
thousands are taking their places. The
transuart of the wounded into the Lohe
of safey where they can receive pro-
ner attention is proving a problem
that has not been solved Hospitals
and surgeons are inadequate for the
care of those who have fallen.
While the larger ships of the Ger
men navy remain under the protection
os their harbors. the submarines con-
tinue active, and another R.1tlsh
cruiser has been sunk by one of these
destructive boats. The official an
nouncement of the sinking OF the
LIGHT cruiser Hermes in the Straits OF
Dover, gives no details, except that
she was destroyed by German sub
marine aRd that most of her officers
and men were saved.
Because of the attack on her ack
Sea coast towns by Turkish warships,
Russia has instructed her ambassador
at Constantinople to announce to the
Sublime Ports the severence of dip
lomatic relations and its prospective
department from Constantinople. Ac-
cording to message reaching Wash
incton from the Turkish capital, war
has been declared officially between
Turkey and Russia, but this is hardly
considered likely, as both Russia and
Great Britain have demanded an OK
| ulanation from the Porte of Turkeys
action and are awaiting reply.
Meanwhile some of the warships
under the Turkish flag have Destroy
ed a number of vessels of the Russian
navy and it is reported from Constan-
tinople by way of RLome that the Rus
sian fleet has attacked the Turkish
fleet in the Black Sea, off the Grim
son coast.
Russian official reports claim pro-
gress in several districts on the East
Prussian frontier and tn rpulse OF
the Germans who have been endeaVor-
ing to break through the Russian cen
ter in the Bakalarzewo region.
There is a serious ministerial crisis
