One of the first deeds accomplished
by Lieutenant Franks was the rescue

effective as the first step in the treat
mcnt Of pneumonia.

"GIRL WITHOUT A CHANCE"
AT OPERA HOUSE MONDAY

First Real Road Show of the Season.
"The Girl Without Chance which
comes to the Opera House next Mon
day Is one of the few real hits Of the
present theatrical season. A reporter
Of this paper in an interview with the
Press Agent OF the company yester-
day, asked that worthy gentleman for
the underlying reason Of his plays
success. Comedy" he replied, Com
edy, that's the answer. Too many
playwrights are presenting only the
morbid side Of life The public likes
to laugh. 7 don't think the average
public cares for farce comedy, there
is not enough "meat" to 1t. The real
reason that "The Girl Without a
Chance" has scored such an emphatic
hit is that the author knew the value
OF a laugh and knew exactly where to
place il to strengthen the piece"
A good laugh in an intensely inter
csting scene has proven a great relief
to us many times. This city is for
tunatc to secure such an attraction
as "Thc Girl Without a Chance" sc
early in It's carecr.-Adv.
