BREED THEATRE.
Julius Steger in The Stolen Triumph, a Powerful Metro Production, Fea- ture Today and Thursday.

Today and Thursday the Breed will present Julius Steger in The Stolen Triumph, a powerful fVe-part Metro production.
 Here is a play that shows how dis aster hides behind deceit. Mrs. Stephen man, is proud of his success, but she wants more-she wants him to be known as great playwright. Her love for him goads him into false position. And while he is in that position there appears Edwin Rowley, a college friend, a man who has written a mas terpiece for the stage.
 The rich man is tempted. The evil one crushes his conscience and he steals his friends play. Then follows one tragedy after another in the life of the real playwright, who is penni- less and friendlesS. But truth tri- umphs over deceit. The rich mans wife learns of the false step he has made for her sake. She is a good woman. She sets about to right the wrongs that have been done
 Therein she finds deep problem. The playwright'S young wife has died of grief, and he is temporarily a mad man. What amends are made? How does this ambitious woman, ruled by a sense of absolute justice, restore hap pinesS and contentment to the victim !? These are problems which are skiifully worked out in The Stolen Triumph.
 The supporting cast includes Harry Burkhardt, Clara Whipple, Marie ley
 The Breed will also present, the fa- nous Burton Holmes travel series and a screamingly funny Christie comedy completes the bill for today and Thurs day.

 II was all run down and suffered from dyspepsia and nervousness. I kept feeling worse and worse and knew that unless l did something pretty quick my health would under go serious breakdown.
 You see I, was unable to eat any thing at all without having an awful pain in my stomach immediately afterwards I lost my appetite com p.etely. I felt so tired and lpo-good' that sometimes could hardly do my work.
 .'A great many of the men working Taniac and were so enthusiastic afout delight knew no bounds when, after taking a few doses, I felt a wonderful improvement in my condition. I soon lost that old dopey. sleepy feeling and now am wide awake and on the job every minute. I sleep like a top every night and wake up with a ravenous appetite for breakfast. Tanlac has done away with my indigestion which believe was the cause of all my troubses.''

'Very Good Eddie" at the Davis Fri. day Eve, Feb. f6-Seat Sale Today at 10 A. M.

One of the greatest musical treats of the year will be the engagement at the Davis theatre for one time Friday night, February 16th, of Very Good Eddie" the new musical comedy by Philip BartholOmae and Jerome Kern, which comes here with the notable distinction of an all-year. run at the
 rReesp The plot ahea' of Very Ngw fSf Sood Eddie deals in a bright and humorous way, with the adventures of two newly
 welded pairs, Georgianna and Eddie Kettle, who on their marriage day, Catskill they encounter their friends, Elsie and Percy Darling who nave also just been joined in holy bonds.
 Georgiana and Percy go ashore, in- they are left behind, and Elsie, with Eddie, find themselves that night in embarrassing circumstances at a jay" hotel at some village on the Hudson. followed by the worried Percy and Georgiana. It takes some little time to clear things up. But in the end all is set right.
 occur during the brief .sojourn of the four NewlyWeds at the Rip Van Winkle Inn is heightened by the ap- pearance on the scene of Mime. Ma t-oppo, a temperamental lady of un- certain age, and other characters, among them a gentleman of foreign birth, named Rougemont, and a third loving couple, Elsie Lilly and Dick Rivers. And to make things con1- plete, we are introducd to the unique clerk of the hotel, Al Cleveland, who now and then suggests an eminent apostle of the grape juice habit, though with hilarious differences.
 It is said that the great honors of the performance go to Miss Waffle Martin as the pretty and engaging Elsie Darling, to Miss Lottie Bru- nelle as the spirited and yet majestic Georgina Kettle, to Miss Georgia liar vey as the eccentric Mime. Mafroppo, to MT. Dave Ferguson as the ire pressible Al Cleveland, and chiefly to that excellent comedian, Mir. Burford Hampden, who is the Eddie of the ti- tie.
 The humor of the play is said to be largely due to the striking contracts of the diminutive Eddie and his state ly bride who are balanced by the doll like Elsie and her big, hulking hus- band.
 The music is described as being re- fined ragtime, but it is also stated that the lyrics by Mir Kern have ryth- mic charm and never tire the ear.
 Very Good Eddie," even during the most torrid of the dog days, never failed to play to absolute capacity in New York during the hot weather, in door entertainment can be put to.
 Prices 25c Q s1.50. Seat sale to- day at 10 a. m.
