MAY IRWIN SINGS
IN LAUGH CARAVAN

And May Irwin will sing again. No
announcement could cause more pleas
ure to the many admirers of the love-
able commedienne than this. She is
coming here in the new comedy, "33
Washington Square," and will be seen
at the Lyceum on Saturday. matinee
and night.
1t was during her recent engage
ment at the Park theater, New York
city, that Miss Irwin used her woman's
privilege and decided to change her
mind about singing. For several sea-
sons she has never varied from her de-
termination to refrain from singing
in public. But when she took her
Laugh caravan to Washington to
make President Wilson and the men,
bers of the National Press club laugh,
she could not resist the many requests
made her by the promised guests. She
then returned fer the continuation of
troduced the same songs.
Ever since she projected the famous
Bully" song to universal popularity
Miss Irwin has been the foremost in
making the songs of the people, Moth
ing she has fOstered in this line has
been common and ordinary. While she
originated the class of songs known
as the coon song" she ever main
tanned a standard Of excellence worthy
Of the better ideals of the colored-
American. It was for her imitators to
let down the standards
In her new repertory she leads off
with a lifting, love song: I'm Home
Sick For Home, Sweet Home, "Those
Were the Happy Days, Where Did
Robinson Crusoe Go With Friday On
Saturday Night?" and others.

STONE-PILLARD SHOW
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT

That George Stone and Eta Pillard
have lost none Of their popularity
with the patrons of the Grand theater,
was evinced last evening, when an at
tendance Of record breaking proper
ton was on hand to greet this pair
of clever entertainers. For nearly
three hours the audience was treated
to a show that differs entirely from
the usual brand Of burlesque perfor-
mances that has shown at the theater
since it's opening. Under the man
agement of Joe Hurtig a supporting
troupe has been gotten together this
season, which promises to write in
theatrical history the Names of Stone,
Plllard and Hurtig with emblazoned
letters. The book for the performance
was written by Will H. Smith and
George Stone, music by Will H. Vo-
derry and lyrics by Mr.. Smith. The
plot of the burletta consumes two acts
and nine scenes and is a musical ex-
travaganza of the highest standard. In
no troupe appearing in the Capitol
City this season has the patron been
afforded the pleasure Of viewing such
beautiful costumes and ma gnif1cent
scenery. There is also beVy OF pref
ty girls in the chorus who are fully
capable of handling the many difficult
dancing sets, and in the art of melody
they leave nothing to be desired. The
burletta is entitled, THE Rag Doll in
Ragland," and the plot is of a nature
that keeps the audience on the jump
to keep up with it. Things work
smoothly until the middle Of the first
act, when the troupe seem to diverse
from the plot, that is from point Of
understanding by the audience, and in
dulge in a frolic of song, dances and
comedy.
The brunt Of the work is carried by
the stars, Mr.. Stone and Miss Pillard.
The latter has added some to her abil-
ity in the terpsichorean art which is
saying something, her nimbleness of
foot and her pleasing manner of rem
dering several songs making an instant
hit with the audience The song,
''There's a, Little Bit of Bad in Every
Good Little Girl" has been rendered
at the theater on former occasions but
it remained for Miss Pillard and Ben
Bard in a duet last evening to popu-
larize the song further With a num-
be1, of added verses Of a catchy chord
the nair were forced to respond to nu-
nerous encores, Mr.. Stone getting into
some of them which also brought
clown the house.

Most Effective Remedy

DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Relieves Baby When Other
Medicines Failed.

There is nothing so necessary to a
child's health and comfort as regu-
larity of the bowels. All children are
especially susceptible to stomach
trouble and any OVerstrain of the SEN
sitiVe organs has a tendency to OBJ
struct elimination. This condition is
responsible for much of the illness of
childhood
To relieve constipation a mild laxa-
tive should be employed. Cathartics
and purgatives are violent in their
action and should be avoided. Mrs.
Alfred Du Bots, Mt. Holly, N J., says
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is with
out doubt the most effective remedy
for constipation she has ever used
and that it is the only remedy she
could find for her baby. Little Earl

to help him until she got bottle of

Five Boys in Blue, a quintet of
Civil war veterans, who have been
furnishing an entertaining musical
novelty on vaudeville circuits for a
number Of years, are at Keeney's this
week presenting the headline attrac-
ton. The old musicians made a distinct
hit with the ''first nighters" and their
act was enthusiastically applauded.
Individually and collectively the
s'vets" are entertaining. Their act at
this time is especially popular. There
is an air Of patriotism about it and
It has a distinctively pleasing flavor.
The "vets'' were here a few years ago
and their popularity at the time we'll
merited q return engagement although
the management was unable to bill
them until now.
The prison scene from "Faust' is
enacted almost in its entirety by
Leona Quincy, singing comedienne,
who is also among the talent this
week. Miss Quincy is a versatile en-
tertainer and she impersonates the
various characters of the opera in
skillful fashion changing from
Mephistophales' 20 Marguerite with
amazing skill. Jane Reed and her
magic cigarette and Charles Besnah,
singer and darcer, also give pleasing
vaudeville bits.
