Percy Hemus Comes to Topeka Audi
torium November IS.


"An institution. New York Times.
admirable art New York Trib-
une.
These four little words from the
two leading musical critics of Amer
lea, published following Percy Hemus'
recent recital in New York City,
clearly suggest the wonderful artistry
of this popular American baritone,
in the title role of Mozart's opera,
1.-THE Impresario."
Few artists in American musical
life have enjoyed the lavish praise
that has been accorded Mr.. Hemus.
The Cleveland, Ohio, Press recently
referred to him as 1.-The master song
interpreter" Magnificent in dramatic
fervor," said the Buffalo Courier. "Hc
justifies the term recital as few sing
ers do" exclaimed the Kansas City
Star following Mr.. Hemus' appearance
there.
Percy Hemus is known from coast
to coast as a singer and interpreter of
songs, a master of English diction and
an artist bearing a true message. His
voice is one of remarkable fine timbre,
of unusual beauty, flexibility,. reson-
ance and power. He sings at all times
with delightful ease.
Percy Hemus will be heard at the
Topeka Auditorium Wednesday eve
ming. November 16, under the auspices
of the Woman's club. Tickets are
now on sale at Jenkins.

PARSONS HAS MOVIE STAR
Ia Su Pitts Now Working With Ethel
Clayton in Hollywood Studio.


Parsons, Kan, Oct 31-After two
and half years Ia Su Pitts, the Par
sons motion picture actress, is back on
the Paramount lot again at Holly
wood, Cal, doing a character role in
Ethel Clayton's new picture directed
by Paul Powell, For the Defense"
How Could You Jean" and THE
Little Princess with Mary Pickford
and "A Modern Musketeer" with Doug
las Fairbanks are among the pictures
in which the clever Miss Pitts ap-
peared for Aircraft. Prior to that she
appeared in fifteen comedies with La
Sale and worked for Universal, Brent
wood and Robertson-Cole. She also
did a part in Men, Women and
Money" for Paramount, in which
Ethel Clayton was star.
Parsons is the birthplace of Miss
Pitts. who developed an original vein
of character deHneation, that of the
somewhat gawky, awkward girl who
has, however, depths of character and
at times manifests real charm and
even beauty. Her present role is one
demanding considerable histrionic tai
ent, and as Miss Pitts is adept she
will doubtless do it full justice.
Jennie Dunn, the character, is
girl who falls into evil ways and does
time for theft. She is befriended by
Anna woodstock (Miss ClaytOn) and
thereby develops the drama of the
story. in which Jennie is arrested for
the murder of Kasimtr, hypnotist,
PLAYED by Bertram Grassby. A big
court room scene and the trial are
episodes of unusual interest in the
production. Elmer Rice wrote the
pIav which Beulah Marie Dix adapted
for the screen.

GOOD HEALTH HINTS
Oklahoma Farmer Gives Sound Ad vice on Avoiding Sickness Used Black k-Draught
 30 Year.

Cameron, Okla.-T have used Thedford's Black Draught for about thirty years, and certainly ought to know by this time what a good med1- cine it is," says MT. T. l.. Bostier, a well-known farmer of this place. MT. Bostier has passed his three-score-and- tenth year, but declares his health still is good, "and I can say Black Draught did its part"
 Where there is lot of malaria, . liver medicine Is necessity, and have never found one better than Black -Draught," continues the Okla- homan. Tt is one that I know to be reliable. sure use 1t for the liver. stomach. constipation. indigestion. and 1t has done me world of good. We use 1t for the family. and 1t gives satisfaction.
 Most trouble, or sickness. comes from the liver, and If taken in time can be avoided. That is why use Black -Draught as l do. am much pleased with results obtained"
 Thedfords Black-Draught is purely vegetable. It acts on the bowels, gent ly stimulating the liver, and helps tn- crease the normal flow of bile into tho intestines. It assists in the digestion of food, and relieves constipation in prompt and natural way.
 Ask your druggist for a package to- day. Insist on Thedford's. NCc139
