Give The Stomach
 A Chance To Work

We can't expect the stomach to act normally if the natural avenues of elimination are blocked so it cannot dispose of its refuse. When the bowels are constipated the stomach is called upon forw ork beyond it's ca pacity and the result is bloat, belch- ing, headache, and discomfort gener- ally, and, unless the condition is promptly relieved, serious illness.
 An effective remedy for constipa ton Is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. It is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts. on the bowels in a gentle, natural manner, without gripping or other pain or dis comfort affording speedy relief. Get a bottle of Dr. Caldwe1I's Syrup Pep sin from your druggist and have it in the house when you need 1t; it costs only fifty cents and is the ideal fam fly remedy, mild enough for children and old people, yet sufficiently pow erful for the strongest constitution. A trial bottlef1 free of charge, can be ob- tained by writing to Dr. w. B. Cald- well, 456 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois.

PLAZA

The Plaza was damned last night and, although we were very much en- unused with the vaudeville program, the management had arranged, the main center of interest for the folks around us seemed to be Rex Beach's s great dramatic production on the screen, "The Auction Block"
 Those who went to see "The Auction Block certainly got their moneys worth, for it is one of those types that holds your interest gagged -and-bound right up until the final climax. It's g. credit to Rex Beach and to the di- rector who staged it and for real, punchy situations we have never seen better cinema adaptation of book version.
 The vaudeville, as we stated before, pleased us immensely, and Martini and Maximilian handed us any num- Der of hale and healthy laughs with their burlesque of a magical act. Martini put over the tricks and Max imilian spoiled all of them by show ing the audience how they were done, but 1t was certainly funny and Maxi milian's makeup was a positive work of art.
 The Hoyt, Hyans Trio were big fla vorites The former burlesque come dian was remembered although he had done away with most of the gro tesque character. The comedy was original and screamingly funny and the artistry added to the offering by both the charming appearance and voice of the girl member greatly en- hanced it.
 Another "knock-out'' was register ed by Curry and Graham, very clever, neat and sweet-voiced pair who put over a singing, talking and dancing skit that brings the Irish and the Scotch dialect into play with very l good effect.
 Then came pair of knockabout | acrobats with an act that could be featured on any bill and do some real crowd gathering for it is as good as any if not the best of it's kind in the | business.
 The Sidney Drew comedy rounded out a bill that will unquestionably pack the Plaza for three days.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
POLI'S

Miss LaBelle Titcomb appeared at Polrs. She brought with her yester- day her latest and most perfect revue of the songs and dances of various nations. She brought a diversity of youth, beauty and dancing marvels. She also brought scenery that is mag nificent This revue charms the eye, the ear and the most delicate sense of the artistic.
 Its parallel also runs on the screen where Bessie Barriscale is shown in "The Cast of" through five reels of intense romance filled with human in- terest and that comedy which goes to make life happy amidst seeming troubles. All lovers of real art will enjoy this offering.
 Harold Selman & Company, with a cast of three dramatic artists offer a fascinating bit of truism from the life of the bigger cities. It is an under world piece that has a flavor of the slums yet the moral tone of the churchly.
 Allanson, internationally famous, mimic and ballancer, opened for the first time in Bridgeport an act which mas all the COlOrlnB or Ino IHOSC DSdO- tiful European scenic displays. A night scene on the river gives him wide opportunity to infuse humorous pantomime, while his display of agility acts as a counter charm.
 Herschall Hendler, talented pianist, assisted by a charming and snappy woman assistant, comes from the or chestra circle and accomplishes one of the most artistic performances at the piano that recently has been seen. He injects much humor into his per formance without detracting from the artistic.
 Armstrong and Stearns, a diverting pair, offer a concoction of song and character impersonations that brought the most vociferous applause to their effort.
 Animated news carries the spectator through the bigger happenings in America.

LYRIC

With the close of the popular com edy farce Rolling Stonesy' drawing near patrons of the Lyric theatre beautiful as well as those who are not regular patrons, but enjoy a really good performance, are requested to reserve their seats for the four re- maining performances tonight, to. morrow night and two matinees Already there has been a large ad- vance sale and many reservations have been made giving indication that the late corners will be obliged Ito content themselves with what are left. This is, however, not a hard ship as a full view of the stage can be had from all parts of the house but there are still a few choice seats left.
 Rolling Stones' has scored an al- most instantaneous success as DOT trayed by the ever-popular PoH Play- CTS. With the addition of extra lines and features the production is con- siderably improved over the original The scenic effects are realistic, es- pecially in the first act when an ex- act reproduction of the Clark street hridge in Chicago Is shown. There are also other features all of which combined make the performance one of the best that the Pon Players have ever attempted.
 Next week they will interpret that popular. comedy Nothing But tht Truth" in which young man, DOT.
