the reformed school board had inherit

number of hand-to-hand conflicts be-

ADJUSTMENTS
~sins of the Mothers"

Out Of some four thousand manu.
scripts submitted, 1.-THE Sins of the
Mothers" by Miss Elaine Sterne, was
the one awarded the 81 900 prize by
the judges in the Vitagraph- Sun See
mario contest. In preparing this prize
play for the screen, the Vitagraph
Company instructed Mr.. Ralph w.
Ince, the producer, to spare no pains
or expense and gave him for its in
depreciation what is, perhaps, the
strongest cast of players ever assem-
bled for the enactment of a single
picture, the cast including Anita
Stewart and Earle Williams.
"The Sins of the Mothers" created
furore during its run at the Vita
graph Theatre, New York, its theme
opening up discussion on every hand
that resulted in the theatre being
crowded at every performance. This
wonderful photoplay, which is being
released through the Wise, Inc,
(Big Four Combine) will be shown at
the Bonita tomorrow.

Last year I was suffering with a
terrible backache," writes j. W. Etris
of Etris, Ga. Every time I'd lean
or stoop over or to one side, I'd have
a painful catch in my back just over
my kidneys. I tried medicines with
no good results. / bought a bottle OF
Foley Kidney Pills, and just the one
box entirely relieved my backache.
1t has been some time since / took
them, so I think am WELL

new FEATURE
.BYPHUNMAKERS

The Phunmakers are announcing
with especial delight the opportunity
they are given in adding as one of
the big features for their coming Mu-
nicipal Ball, at Mallory Court, Aug.
9Th, dancing novelty by Mr.. John
Frenkel and his sister, Miss Clara
Frenkel. Both of these popular
young dancers have previously graced
many prominent occasions in Pensa-
cola, but the new dance they are to
stage for the Phunmakers will be
something entirely different than
they have heretofore given.
They will offer what is termed a
Harlequin Dance, in which both Mr..
and Miss Frenkel will appear in spec
ial costume. There will also be added
an electrical effect which will help to
make the feature a telling one. Maui
rice and Walton, the two well known
opponents of terpischorean art have
appeared in similar dance, terming
it a "Clown Dance" There is a tell
ing originality in the dance thus pre-
scented, for it means much practice
and development of poise. At the re-
cent Charity Ball, Mr.. and Miss Fren-
KEEL were awarded prize for their
ballroom dancing, but the Harlequin
Dance which they will feature for
the Phunmakers is something entirely
different and original, and will be one
of the big amusement features for
this great event.
Mr.. Johnny Jones, who is regarded
as one of the best character singing
comedians in this part of the coun-
try, will also appear in new novelty
"stunt," and is busy already working
out the details of something original.
