Dazey wrote the play more than twenty years ago. From it's first presentation, it has never been withdrawn from the American stage for single theatrical season-and during all these years, 1t has been controlled by the same management and has always been cast and presented with care and atten- ton. Now in the twenty-third year of it's career, it remains as fresh, as new and as enjoyable as ever.

RURAL COMEDY
 DRAMA AT POLPS

The Volunteer Organist," rural comedy drama based upon the noted song of the same title, will be given at Polls theater this week. The song and play were written by Will liam Gray. The story told In the song concerns only the call for a vol unteer organist to take the place of the regular organist who is indis- posed and of the wonderful playing of the ragged individual who takes his place at the organ.
 In the play Rev. Harold Sturgis goes to the town of Cambridge. Vt., to take charge of a parish. Soon after his arrival he runs into obsta- cIes that are present in many small communities. The gossips soon link his name with that of Grace Barnett, the daughter of the innkeeper, and oppose his attentions to her because her father sells liquor at his small hotel. This opposition is developed by the gossips who gain the sympathy of certain men who feel that MT. Sturgis is more independent in his efforts to spread the Gospel than their former pastors, had been. It reaches a climax on New Years Day, when the pastor has arranged for special services. The organist and the members of the choir are in duced to revolt and the pastor finds himself without his musical assist ants Undismayed and determined to carry the service through, he calls for a volunteer organist from his congregation

YOUTHFUL MUSICAL
 MARVELS AT FOXS

Alado and Miss Aga Paradofska, brother and sister, sixteen and fifteen years of age, respectively, and hailed as musical prodisies, open a weeks engagement at Fox's theater this afternoon. The boy is a great pianist. He plays the compositions of Chopin, Grieg, Schumann, Moszkowski, Bach, etc., with the touch of a master. He has committed to memory over one thousand pages of music, and plays such difficult things as the Tam kauser Overture,'' the Spanish Rhapsody" of Liszt and the "Riggo- letto Paraphrase' with finished in- dividuality.
 The girl has coloratura soprano voice of surpassing beauty and tone. It is permanently placed and has a wonderful range. She has a reper- to,re of over thirty different arias from Grand Opera, and sings the Mad Scene from Hamlet with the grace and forcefulness of prima donna.
 The photo play portion of the pro- gram for today and tomorrow is a most entertaining one. Thomas Wise will be seen in Blue Grass five act photo-d ton of Paul Arm strongs romantic tale of the race track. Blue Grass is story in Which a southern gentleman is down On his luck, and incidentally his last dollar. It is a story of joys mingled with the sorrows of life, as the old gentleman watches his money swiftly dwindling. There will be a Chaplin comedy and several other single reels that will frame a good program.

ITCHING NEARLY !, DROVE \ WHOLEI
 FAMILY CRAZY.
79zxc.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 24, lel4i-- My husband had rash all over his body. and soon the WHOLE FAMILY was in the same condition. It looked scaly and raised up on the arms and body in big bumps. This trouble burned and itched so that it would nearly drive one crazy. It was always worse at night, so we could not sleep. We all had this trouble for about two or three years, and during that time tried many remedies and prescriptions with no results. We tried Resinol Oint- ment and Resinol Soap and it RE- LEVIED AT ONCE, and before the third jar of ointment had been used, we were all completely cured. It has been four months since we were cured, and there are no traces of the trouble."--- tSigned) Mrs. s. A. Clarkson, i52o Lawn Ave. s
 Every druggist sells Resinol .oint- ment and Resinol Soap, and physicians have prescribed them for 20 years in the treatment of skin troubles.
