AT THE oRPHEUM
THE RED ROSE"

One of the satisfactions gained from
the phenomenal SUCCESS of John C.
Fishers musical hit, The Red Rose, -
which comes to the Orpheum to-mor-
row as the seasons opening attraction
is that it is in every sense an American
production.
Each detail of it's splendors was
outlined originally in this country and
the imported gowns and costumes
used were brought over only in order
to give local color to the big scenes
that are located in Paris according to
the demands of the plot. Heretofore
1t has been necessary to draw upon
the continental field for really success
full musical comedies. The Red Rose
reverses this rule and singularly
enough it is the greatest success of
the kind ever known in New York and
has achieved even a greater success
in Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago.

Gas in the Stomach
: Is Dangerous
Physicians Recommend the Use of Mag
nesia

Physicians Recommend the Use of Mag
nesta
Sufferers from indigestion or dys-
pepsia should remember that the preas
ence of gas or wind in the stomach In
variably indicates that the stomach is
troubled by excessive acidity.
This acid causes the food to ferment
and the fermenting food in turn gives
rise to noxious gases which distend the
stomach, hamper the normal functions
of vital internal organs, cause acute
headaches, interfere with the action of
the heart, and charge the blood stream
with deadly poisons. which in time
must ruin the health. Physicians say
that to quickly dispel dangerous ac-
emulation of wind in the stomach and
to stop the food fermentation which
creates the gas, the acid in the stom-
ach must be neutraliZed and that for
this purpose there is nothing quite so
good as a teaSpoonful of pure bisurat-
ed magnesia taken in a little water i'm
mediately after meals. This instantly
neutralizes the acid, thus stopping fer
mentation and the formation of gas,
and enables the infamed, distended
stomach to proceed with its work under
natural conditions. Bisurated mag
nesia is obtainable in powder or tablet
form from any druggist; but as there
are many different forms of magnesia
1t is important that the bisurated
which the physicians prescribe should
be distinctly asked for.-Advertise-

MAJESTIC VAUDEVILLE

Tonight presents you your last op-
portunity to see the Majestic's Labor
Day bill, which leaves the new vaude-
vile house after three performances
to-day to make way for a brand new
offering tomorrow afternoon. Some
old Orpheum favorites are included
in the offering and the headliner, a
spectacular musical production called
The BeauX and Bellies" is alone
worth the time and price. Occupying
the important position of to-morrow's
new show will be Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
erick Voelker and company, who this
season are said to be presenting Won
derful musical attraction. When the
same act appeared at Keith's Phila-
delphia Theater some time ago, one
of the papers had this to say: The
settings, the costumes and the musical
numb bers are all of the highest class.
Mr.. Voelker is a violinist of real
ability and his several numbers were
encored to the echo. There is a vein
of comedy in the act that helps in the
success of the Offering" Some of the
supporting Keith features of the new
bill will include Bessie .LeCount, sing
ing coincidence; Eckert and Parker,
two comedians in songs and patter;
Ernie and Ernie presenting a novelty
