Comedy. Tragedy and
Human Interest Blend
In Little TheQfeY

Comedy. human Interest. tragedy
and the mystical were blended In
the four oneaot plays presented
Friday evening in the Little theater
before an audience that filed the
miniature playhouse with It's mum
bers and applause.
The comedy found its expression
In an amusing satire called Sup
pressed Desires" by Susan 0laspell
and George Cram Cook. which poked
FUN al the serio-comic nonsense
which too many folk get into their
heads in this day and age. and try
TO justify by giving II the name of
a science or religion. In this case
q was "psycho-anRlysis'' that was
the matter with Henrietta Brewster.
whose perfectly well-balanced hus-
band refused 20 be 'psychoed" and
found a way In which 10 turn Henri
etta's brAinstorms into other chan
nels. The piece was capitally acted
by Mrs. Gertrude Kay as Henrietta.
Mrs. Doris DretIka as Mabel, her
sister. and w v. Mckee as the hus-
band. Mrs. DretIka was altogether
charming and a. naive as the little
bride in Twin Beds and "Fsir and
Warmer"
Human interest and q hornely slice
81 life were found In Lonesome
like" a Lancashire bit by Harold
Brighouse. which had its nrvt pre-
sentation in this country. This was
also admirably acted by Mrs. Phyi-
n, Povah Elton. who made q hand
some, buxom factory lass: Miss
Blanche Barney a. a querulous old
woman about TO be taken from her
poor little cottage 20 the "work'us"
for the rest OF her days. and Sam
Hume a. Sam HorToeks. a simple
loon Of q machinery oiler In the
mills. who wanted 10 marry Emma.
but. when nouted by her. took the
old woman for his adopted mother
20 relieve. by her nAggfng tongue.
HIS loueeomeness. The players were
excellent and consistent In their
lancashire dialect, and the bit was
as well done as anything the pro
fessional stage could OFFER.
Tragedy sounded its note In an.
other English plAylet, The Last
Man In" by ". p. Maxwell. also Of.

Mother Praises Remedy
That Relieved Her BABY
DIR. Caidwelrs Syrup Pepsin Is De-
pendable Family Laxative

Nearly all the sickness incident to
oaby's life is due to constipation,
or inaction of the bowels. At the
first indication of irregularity in this
important function, relief should be
afforded promptly. A mild laxative
should be administered to gently
carry off the congested waste and
leave the stomach and bowc!s free
t: perform their allotted tasks.
Of the various remedies recon-
mended to relieve constipation, the
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, as prescribed b. D..
w. B. Caldwell and sold in drug
stores under the name of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is the most eff
fective. 1t contains no opiates OF
narcotic drug, is pleasant to the
taste, mild and gentle in action, anc
quickly brings the desired relief ir
an easy, natural manner.
Mrs. C. J. Douglas, Mason, Ill.
writes that she cannot say enough
in praise of DR.. Caldwell's Syrul
Pepsin as a dependable family lax
alive. Little Mary Eva had beer
badly constipated until they tried DR.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, whicl
brought the first natural relief tn
child had had in two weeks.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sol
