At the Lyric

The popularity of the Lyric theatre and the appreciation of the high-class entertainment being offered was never better attested than on Thursday, when it is estimated that practically 1000 people were turned away, so great was the crowd which damned the theatre
 The entertainment offered on the new programme is one of the best of the season. A great variety is presented and it was we'll received by packed houses.

Al H. Wilson

Study the pages of theatrical history as you will and you cannot find an account of any member of that profess sion who has created more amusement for playgoers, or caused more genuine laughter than has jovial Al A. Wilson, the singing dialect comedian, whose name is now a by-word in almost ev cry household in the country. Like Scanlan of old, Wilson's nistrionic abil- ity is aided by wonderful singing voice with which he can render with great effect delightful love songs and lulla- bys. The number of songs that Will son has made popular are as difficult to count as are the sands of the desert, still every season he has had a budget of new songs, and when he makes his appearance this season at the Jeffer- son theatre on Wednesday and Thurs day, matinee Thursday, as the central character in his latest Irish song-play, "The Irish 15th." his audience will hear for the first time in this city the de- light refrains of T want You Then Machree,' Ireland is Your Home Sweet Home" My Mothers Wedding Ring" "A Lily From Heaven and "The Irish Will Be There''

"Chin Chin"

At the Jefferson on Friday and Satur- day, matinees both days, will be pre- sented the much heralded,-s spectacular and sumptuous production of "Chir Chin," the only production of this clever fantasy under the management of Charles Dillingham;, as displayed at the Globe theatre in New York for two years.
 The book is by Anne Caldwell and R. H. Burnside, the lyrics by Anne Caldwell and James O'Dea, and the music by Ivan Caryll, so well remembered for his in graduating melodies in "The Pink Lady and "The Little Cafe''
 The principal comedians in "Chin Chin'' are Harland Dixon and James Doyle, who come to us with the stamp of approval won in such musical shows as ''The Century Girl,' Stop. Look and Listen,'' The, Honeymoon Express, Broadway to Paris" etc.
 In addition to Doyle and Dixon, the chief fun makers, there is a large cast of principals, including Bessie Franklyn Jeanne Mai, Grace Walsh, Marie Calla- han, Louise Worthington, Inez Bauer, Gene Merrick, Leone Wilcox, Ethel Law renee, and Roy Hover, Joseph Robinson, Ed Reader. F. O. Binder, Earl Amos, George Phelps and a really vivacious and sprightly singing chorus.

Yes! Lift a Corn
 Off Without Pain
Cincinnati Authority Tells How to Dry Up Corn or Callus So 1t
 Lifts of With Fingers

You corn pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so 1t can be lifted out, root and all, without pain.
 A small bottle of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but will positively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to irritate the surrounding skin.
 If your druggist hasn't any free zone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house It is fine stuff and acts like a charm every time.

Virgil Buckley is home this week, ava ting tke third of October when he will have to report at Wynne, this state, to go to Camp Pike with the last of the selective draft men. Virgil feels that he is playing rather tough luck. He had no trouble getting into the officers training camp at Leon Springs, Tex, but had the misfortune to allow slight tbruise on his ankle to become infeeted. and was forced to spend week in the hospital. When the coast artillery was ordered to San Francisco last week, 1t was found ne cessary to drop fifteen men to keep within the limits and Virgils ab- sence of one week from drill was seiz- ed as an excuse for making him one of the fifteen. As he had been called early in the draft and exempted be- cause he was in the training camp, he had to return to Wynne and report to the exemption board with the above result-Rogers Democrat.
