PARK

Al Reeves Beauty Show opened last night at the Park theatre minus Al himself and 1T the audience missed his smiling countenance, they did not seem to show it as the applause was hearty and continual. Fox and Stew art. the comedians, were not the best that have appeared in the city, and although their lines bring many laughs still the manner in which they were delivered could be improved. They are both hard workers and de- serve credit.
 The chorus was all that could be expected of a beauty show, in fact it was about the best thing In the show The girls were good looking, their costumes new and up to date and they sang quite we'll
 Miss Gibson was greeted with much applause while Eleanor Mar shall, the ingenue, puts her numbers over nicely and pretty. Ada Morse, a Grecian toe dancer, did her part toward entertaining. The show seemed to drag; it needs more action and better comedians to put 1t over the way it ought to go.
 There was one bright spot, how ever, and that was the Big Four" quartet. Their singing was really fine and brought much applause The scenic effects were artistic.
 All in all i-a show is fair, but far from the best on the Columbia wheel. Many of those who saw it last year, when Al Reeves appeared will be anxious to know why he was not pres ent last night and will be interested to know if he will be present tonight. It is expected he will arrive this af- ternoon late from Washington.

Buddy Cheeks-Sparkling Eyes
 Most Women Can Have
says Dr. Edwards, a Well-Known
 Ohio Physician

Dr. F. Nj. Edwards for r years treated scores of women for liver and bowel ailments. During these years he gave to his patients prescription made of few well-known vegetable ingredients mixed with olive oil, naming them Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. You will know them by their olive color.
 These tablets are wonder. workers on the liver and bowels, which cause normal action, carrying off the waste and poison ous matter in ones system.
 If you have pale face, sailow look, dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, headaches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one of Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets nightly for time and note the pleasing results.
 Thousands of women as well as men take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sue. oessful substitute for calomel-now and then just to keep in the pink of conditioni sae and 25c pet box. All druggists.
