FLORA BELLA AT
THE NIXON JULY 10

John Cort's beautiful Urban pro-
duction of Flora Bella" the musi-
cal comedy triumph bearing this sea-
sons stamp of approval from the Ca
sino theater, New York, will come to
the Nixon Opera House Tuesday, July
10.
Flora Bella" is one of those musi-
cal offerings that delight the ear with
tuneful, lifting melodies; that delight
the eye with fair women and brave
men who sing and dance their way
along with fine spirit and grace,
against rich, colorful settings of the
Urban school, and which plays that
big compliment to the intelligence of
audiences by furnishing an interest
ing plot. The piece stands out from
dozen other musical comedies that
come and go because it is satisfying
from whatever angle you may choose
to look at it. The play moves with a
dash and go that holds right up to the
final curtain. Flora Bella" tells
story of a young neglected wife who
makes her husband fall desperately
in love with her by returning to her
former gay life and posing as her
own twin sister. 1t is part in which
a Monna donna revels, now as an art
full coquette of the dance hall, now
as the demure stay-at-home wife of a
ennuied prince, and it is difficult to
say in which capacity Miss Eleanor
Henry is most charming. The book is
by Felix Doermann, revised and
adapted by Cosmo Hamilton and Doro-
thy Donnelly. The lyrics are by Percy
Waxman and the score by Charles
Cuvillier and Milton Schwarzwald.
There are twenty musical numbers,
which include "Good-Day Goodnight"
1T is Very Hard to Bring Up Father"
"Cat and Mouse" Young Men Take
a Tip From Me-" Love is a Dance"
Flora Bella" You're the GIRL
Give Me All of YOU Adam" and
Creep, Creep. the Worlds Asleep"
Mr. Cort has selected an excellent
cast quite in keeping with the "Cort
Standard" The company seen here
will be practically the original cast,
which includes Eleanor Henry, Lily
Leonhard, Guy ]. Sampsell, Irving
Brooks, Robt. O'Connor, Josephine
Mortimer H. Weldon, Kate
Stout, Adolph Link, Gilbert Clayton,
the famous dancing team of Grant and
Wing, and the most fascinating chorus
ever lured from "The Great White
Way"

PATRIOTIC SUNDAY
WILL BE OBSERVED

Patriotic Sunday is to be observed
next Sunday in all the Sunday schools
of the United States. in response to an
appeal by President Wilson to observe
the day by generous giving to the Red
Cross.
President Wilson's letter follows:
ITO the officers, teachers and schol-
ars of the Sunday schools of the
United States of America:
The present insistent' call of our
beloved country must be heard and
answered by every citizen of the
United States in proportion to his or
her ability to maintain the national
honor. Many citizens will render their
aid by force of arms on the battle
field. while others will make the ma
ton strong by their patriotic gifts and
support of the common cause. 1t is
therefore highly fitting that the Sum
day schools of the nation should OBJ
serve a special patriotic day, and on
this occasion should make a special
contribution to the American Red
Cross for the alleviation of the suffer-
ing entailed by the prosecution of the
present war. 1t is my earnest hope
that, your generosity may be unstint-
ed in this. the hour of the nations
need, and that this special day may
mean much to you in the undertaking
of the cause for which our beloved
land now contends.

CONTRACTORS
ARE SUED
carey-Reed Company, Of Lexington,
is Sued by Merchant Of This
City.

Mr.. J. NJ. Shields who conducts q
grocery store on East Main street
has instituted suit through Attor-
ney w. A. Samuels, against the
Carey Reed Company, of Licking
ton, for $1,000 damages. The petit
ton states that Shields is engaged
in the grocery business on a street
that the city entered into a contract
with the said company to improve
and that said contract stated that
the work was to be completed with
in 12O working days from August
LIST, that said contract has not as
yet been completed, that the side
walk and streets have been kept
filed with dirt, etc, and that as
most of plaintiffs business comes
from country people who are now
unable to get to his place of bust
ness as said street is closed. 1t is
reported that several more suits
will be instituted against the com
pany. Under the contract with the
city the said Cared Reed Company
is required to pay the sum of so
per day after the expiration of the
I20 working day contract and as
said contract has expired it is I'M
derst0od that the city will require
the contractors to live up to their
! agreement.
j The work on the streets here was
handled in very Indifferent man
ner, the contractors failing to start
until very late in the fall and then
working only a few men. The city
officials requested that work start
early but were unable to get the
contractors on the job. With part
of Sycamore and Main streets
blockaded for several months and
with the probability of being block
ed for several more to come it has
certainly been working a hardship
not only on the residents of the
Streets but the merchants who de,
liver goods to those sections, as il
is, often necessary to send two mer
with each wagon, one to watch tho
wagon while the other delivers the
merchandise. This is especially
necessarily at night.
