"The Storm. :"

1.-THE STORM" the Langdon McCor-
mick headline attraction at
Keith's this week, Is one of the mod
ern productions Of the stage, made
possible now because 1t is possible to
reproduce natural phenomena on the
stage realistically with lights and
electrical effects.
Thue enough, some twenty years
ago, the American stage was satu-
rated with melodramas of the Theo-
dore Kramer-Owen Davis type, but
these pieces were crudely and in most
instances haphazardly mounted.
The Storm" unlike these older
and somewhat archaic affairs, de-
ponds upon a real dramatic fash from
nature herself for its plot and it's
thrill-a forest of flaming, burning
and suffocating pandemonium.
And only the modern inventions,
discoveries and projections Of elec-
trical wizards have permitted Lang
don Mccormick to stage the play with
the effectiveness that is absolutely
necessary for it's success The vaude-
vile version of the play is somewhat
abbreviated.
Mr.. Mccormick, once a Washington
resident, found inspiration for writ
ing THE Storm" in a forest fire he
witnessed in the great northwest
some years ago.

NATI0NAL-Alice Brady in "Zan-
der the Great"

The Easter week attraction at the
National will be Alice Brady in per-
son IN a new American comedy, en-
titled "Zander the Great" the work
of Salisbury Field. 1t is in a prologue
and three acts, and it IS essentially
American in theme and locale.
An item OF additional interest is
that Miss Brady is now under the
Charles Frohman management. The
casting and the production of ''Zander
the Great" have had the benefit OF the
supervision Of Gilbert Miller, manag-
ing director Of the Frohman company.
The leading player in support OF Miss
Brady IS jerome Patrick.
Miss Brady has impressed her large
public by a successful management of
serious roles. In "Zander the Great"
she will be seen in a role which, while
affording her opportunity TO indulge
in tense and dramatic passages. is, as
a whole, charged with fresh and org
inal qualities of comedy. 1t is rich in
racy human interest.

men say that boyhood days were the
happy days" said Mr. Quinton. and
what wonderful thing it is to go back
to the old home town.
Mr. .Qunton declared that the boy

were several sons in the Old Tesla
ment that were fully as bad as Cain,
but Prof. White pointed out that the
sons We're fully redeemed in the New

New York Physician Perfeets Harm.
less Method Of Reducing Weight

The loss of as much as a pound Of
excess flesh day with no harmful
results Is the record made by many
patients of DR.. N. 3. Newman, a IL
censed practicing physician of 1856
Fifth Avenue, New York, who an
nounces that he has perfected
treatment, which has quickly rid fat
people of excess weight. What is
more remarkable is the Doctors
statement that he has successfully
tieated thousands of patients for fat
reduction with no change of diet or
unnecessary exercise. 1t is also said
that fat people who suffer from
chfphic rheumatism, govt. asthma
and high blood pressure obtain great
relief from the reduction Of their
superfiuous flesh. Realizing that this
sounds almost too good to be true
the Doctor has offered to send with
out charge to any one who will write
him, free trial treatment to prove
his claims. If you want to rid yoar-
self of superfiuous fat write him
