Seen IN Big FEATURE
William J. Ferguson was member OF
Cast When Lincoln Was Shot
VIII Be Seen This Evening

William ]. Ferguson, who will be
seen at the Washington Theater
this evening in the big feature
"The Deep Purple" is one of the vet
erans of the stage.
Mr.. Ferguson saw the murder of
Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes
Booth at Ford's Therter, Washington,
on the night of April IA, 1865. He was
one of the actors in "Our American
Cousin" the comedy that was in pro-
gress when the assassination occurred.
Mr.. Ferguson has been on the stage
continuously since the close of the
Civil War. During the past theatrical
season, he had an important role in
"The Little Whopper." a musical conf
edy that had long run on Broadway.
Although nearly seventy-five years old,
Mr.. Ferguson is not only still active
on the stage but in the motion picture
field as we'll.
That he is a good actor is seen by
the fact that he has ben successful in
holding place on the stage and on
the screen despite his advanced years.
His age and the fact that he was an
actor in the play which the lamented
Lincoln was witnessing when shot,
will probably bring out many this
evening" to see "The Deep Purple.

According to the Good Health
magazine 1.-The orange is one of ma
lures finest gifts to man. Orange
juice contains predigested food in a
most delicious and attractive form,
ready for immediate absorption and
utilization. The amount of food con-
tanned in a single large orange is
about equivalent to that found in a
half slice of bread, but it differs from
bread in that it needs no digestion
while bread, before it can be used in
energizing and strengthening the
body must undergo digestion for sew
eral hours. 1t is for this reason
that oranges are so refreshing to an
exhausted or feeble person" Flori.
