A MIXED BILL AND
MIXED RESULTS AT KEITH'S.

The current bill at B. F. Keith's is a
badly arranged affair, as the bill Is lop-
sided with comedy and music. Some Of
the acts hit the Keith standard and
others do not
George y. Brown, who bills himself
In the modest terms OF the champion
walker, shows how he walks off the
miles on a treadmill and also stages a
walking contest with a woman, who IS
also on a treadmill. This walking con-
lest IS put over in real showman's way
md the audience becomes nearly as eX-
cited as the walkers.
Ben Smith appears before a setting 10
represent a Pullman sleeper and wins
the confidence of the audience by telling
them about the people who are supposed
TO be asleep. Smith. who bills himself
as the "rotund travelling man." comes
into his own with song called Sweet
heart Blues" That song made him one
OF the favorites of the bill. lie has a
pleasing personality and knows how far
to go with the audience.
Nat Navarro opens the act with an
assistant and impression is given that
it IS going to be one Of the regulation
gymnastic offerings. Suddenly NazarrO
changes the color scheme OF his act by
bringing onto the stage two negro boys.
They look like boys OF the streets who
know how to roll the bones and floor a
copper. The dark individuals are called
Buck and Bubbles. These two colored
youngsters are not on the stage two
minutes until Navarro is forgotten. Buck
rags" the piano and does some natural
Glowing. Bubbles sings several songs
and manages to get them over. but when
Bubbles starts TO dance he is a king
bee. These two lads are atural and are
the hit of the snow. Buck and Bubbles
do not need Nat Nazarro TO bring them
on the big time. as these two lads are
a clean knockout"

White and Harry Sratton resort to the

This season the scene takes place in the

Whites reputation as a funmaker.
That the public is still falling strong

the fact that a maiden. rather large

AIMS TO LIVE 100
Fight Against Old Age
Uses a Simple Plan


In June, 1913, II. II. Won Schlick
of 210 Third avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa,
could be seen any day visiting prom
inent Pittsburgh business men in
their downtown Offices. He carried
satchel, and his arrival was always
greeted by smile indicating vel
come. These men were his custo-
mers. They drank at his fountain
Of youth" They accredited him
with a new lease of life and the
healthy condition of their families.
From his satchel Won Schlck
pulled out a box. He caressed it
tenderly. This was his secret
Where did he get it?
That is the story every reader Of
this article should memorize. Mr.
Won Schlick had knowledge Of the
secret and process for making this
marvellous health product for Is
years. 1t came to him when he was
sick, when he had stomach trouble
and felt like victim of the hook
worm. One day his friend, Boris
Marokeff, an old Bulgarian, came
to him and said:
"Mr. Won Schltck, why are you I'll?
If you follow my advice you will be
on your feet tomorrow, and you will
never permit yourself to get in that
condition again" This Bulgarian was
So years old and a fine representa-
tive of his long lived countrymen.
He gave to Won Schlick a package of
herbs, including leaves, bark, flow
ers, roots, seed, plants and berries.
He showed Won Schlick how to mix
it and he told him to go home and
take a hot cupful of these herbs.
Won Schlick's recovery began from
that moment. Next day he felt like
different man. He was exhilar-
ated. He made another cupful and
he soon commenced to take on
strength. Soon he was at work
again, cheerful and happy, and he
was the marvel of his friends.
He secured from Marokeff the Sc
cret for making this herb tea, and
he felt it was his mission to assist
others. In his neighborhood he gave
this herb tea to many and they all
came back for more. Soon his
friends insisted that he give them
this herb tea in quantity. Won
Schlick found that his time was oc-
cupied making up these herbs and
when he was asked by his friends
to prepare it for sale, he finally
did so.
Only merit and results could have
accomplished what Bulgarian Blood
Tea has in the past eight years.
During the influenza epidemic of
1918-19-20, thousands of sufferers
from this dread disease found
prompt relief by using Bulgarian
Blood Tea. Taken steam hot helps
to break up a cold and guard against
Influenza and Pneumonia.
All druggists now keep Bulgarian
Blood Tea In stock, but owing to the
enormous demand immediate appli-
cation to your druggist is urged on
account Of the limited supply Dis
tributors are authorized to return
the full purchase price if it does not
prove to be highly beneficial to the
health. This evidence of faith in
the power Of Bulgarian Blood Tea
is the guarantee of H H. Won
Schlick, President of the Marvel
Products Company, sole manufac-
turers, Marvel Building, Pittsburgh,
Pa, who authorize this public an
nouncement, Advertisement.

gerous man in Europe is neither Com

like his father and grandfather be-
fore him, keeps a store where safes
are sold This in itself is not an un-
lawful profession, but he inherited
from his father, besides the small
store Off the Piazza di Spragna, the
knack of being capable of opening any
safe in the world with the help of
bit of stiff wire.
Never in his life has he been forced
to break a safe open. He has been
summoned by people Of all nations and
professional men TO open safes that
had damned. But not only private In
dividualS call him; the other day King
Victor Emmanuel needed his services.
The king had left his keys in his pri-
vate safe, where his wonderful cOllec-
ton of coins is kept. He was worried
as his favOrite amusement every day
is rearranging these coins. He was very
much worried until they told him that
a specialist for safes lived in Rome
and would be called to the royal villa.
His Real Name Withheld.

secret, as the tax collector would levy

that he was called to the villa)

wire, felt with the wire inside, deli
'ately twisted it here and there, then
'pened the safe door.
