PLAZA.
 Tom Moore is the great Conan & Harris stage hit Stop Thief scored a well deserved success at the Plaza last night. It is one of the most sat iSfactory adaptations of a stage play that has ever come through. Instead of throwing the original script ava y and making a picture out of whole cloth, Stop Thief as a photoplay on the stage, the characters are the same and above all as did the original it provides first class entertainment. Tom Moore plays the role of ''Dou- gan,' the crook who is pulling his last job before going straight and makes the most of a good part.

'HFILIOTROPE" TO SHOW
AT FOX'S NEXT WEEK

"Heliotrope," the big picture which
opens at FoX's tomorrow night to
continue through Wednesday Of next
week. is regarded by critics as one
of the greatest pictures of all time.
One of the best compliments paid it
by leading critic was when he, said:
1T is different It is. 1t has two
distinct stories running through it.
One is a romantic story of love. The
other is tragic story of sin, crime
and murder. yet with a saving grace
of a fathers love for his daughter.
Throughout the entire story, these two
incidents run parallel. yet the two
characters never meet. To tell the
story now would mar tho pleasure
of those who will see it for the first
time But it is sufficient to say that it
derives it's title from the delicate per-
fumery used by one Of the leading
characters and the odor of this same
flower serves as an aid in the develop
ment of very thrilling moment
In conjunction with the showing
of "Heliotrope," the vaudeville bill at
the Fox theater the first half of the
week will be featured by Harry Ma
son, the famous, Jewish comedian,
who will appear with his own cast in
a comedy riot entitled Getting the
Money" This is offered in three
scenes, arranged with an eye to- the
spectacular. One episode is boxing
bout between Young sullivan and his
second, Spike McGinnis, with Billy
Roche, famous referee, as the third
man. Three other good acts are
scheduled.> s-.

LEADING AUTHORITIES
NOW SHOW JUST WHAT
ThNbAC REALLY IS

"a, rundown condition." uses the
following expression: 'It is highly
esteemed in loss of appetite during
cGnvalescence from acute diseases"
There are certain other elements
IN Tanlac which, because of their in
fluence upon The appetite, digetsion,
assimilation and elimination, i'm
prove the nutrition and vital actiy-
ity of the tissues and more impor-
tant organs of the body, and pro-
duce that state of general tonicity
which is: called Health,
The United States Dispensatory
makes the following comment re-
garding another ingredient: at
may be used in all cases of pure de-
billty OF the digestive organs or
where general tonic impression is
required. Dyspepsia, atomic govt,
hysteria and intermittent fever are
among the many affections in which
1T has proven useful"
There are certain other ingredi-
ents described in the Dispensatory
and in other standard medical text
books as having a beneficial action
upon the organs of secretion, whose
proper functioning results in the
of the blood streams
passing through them. In this man
ner Objectionable and poisonous in
gradients of the blood are removed
and the entire system invigorated
and vitalized -..
Tanlac was designed primarily
for the correction of disorders of
the stomach, liver and bowels. At
the same time, however, il is a pow
erful reconstructive tonic and body
builder, for it naturally follows that
any medicine that brings about
proper assimilation of the food and
a thorough elimination of the waste
products must, therefore, have far
reaching and most beneficial effect
upon the entire system.
Although Tanlac's claims for SUI
premacy are abundantly supported
by the worlds leading authorities, it
is the people themselves who have
really made Tanlac what it is. Mil
lions upon millions have used it with
gratifying results, and have told
other millions what it has done for
them. That is why Tanlac has be
come the real sensation of the drug
trade in this country and Canada,
and that is also why it is having the
largest sale of any medicine of its
kind in the world today.

Tanlac, the celebrated medicine
which has been accomplishing such
remarkable results throughout this
country and Canada, is composed of
the most beneficial roots and herbs
known to science. The formula is
purely ethical and complies with all
National and State Pure Food and
Drug Laws. Altogether, there are
ten ingredients in Tanlac, each of
which is of recognized therapeutic
value.
Many of these ingredients have
been individually known and used
since civilization first began, and
some of them have been used and
prescribed by leading physicians
everywhere, but until they were
brought together in proper proper
tlon and association, as in the Tan
lac formula, humanity had not here
tofore realized their full value and
effect.
In referring to one of the more
important ingredients of Tanlac, the

been the source of the most valu-
able tonic medicines that have ever
been discovered" In referring to
others of the general tonic drugs
