THE
COUGH OR COLD
THAT HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to seri.
Gus trouble. You can stop them now with
Creomulsion, an emulsi6ed creosote that
is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is new
medical discovery with two-fold action; it
soothes and heals the inhamed membranes
and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog-
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per-
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and
inflammation, while the creosote goes on
to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the scat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
DCreomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms of respiratory diseases, and is
excellent for building up the system after
colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough
or cold is not relieved after taking accord
ing to directions. Ask your druggist. (adv.l

Claire a Dancer of Note

THE rise of Claire Luce, one Of the
= featured players Of Ziegfeld "Fol-
lies" has been extraordinary.
Miss Luce is blond and sinuous and
has a cosmopolitan manner which
isn't often acquired after years Of
travel abroad. She is young and wise,
expert and thorough and teeming with
Imagination.
Her first appearance on Broadway
was as a speciality dancer in Little
Jesse James," After a. brief appear
ance in this production she was Sc
lected as the featured dancer In
Dear Sir" and upon the closing of
that play she went Immediately into
THE Music Box" as featured dancer
again.
Here her blond beauty, lithesome
figure and extraordinary dancing
prowess won her national fame.
Before long she came to the atten.
ton of Florenz Ziegfeld, who engaged
her for his palm Beach Nights" I"
which was prepared at an enormous
cost.
Miss Luce appeared in two speciality
numbers of her own creation and de.
sign. One of them, broadway In
dian," was study in counterpoint
rhythm, lighting effects and acrobatic
dexterity. and revealed Miss Luce as
one of Americas foremost eccentric
and graceful dancers. 1t is only nat
ural. therefore, that Mr.. Ziegfeld
should have selected her for the Zieg-
field 'Follies."

(Which play in your repertoire,

THAT there is nothing new under

and they certainly enjoyed them

All Of which recalls one wild night
over at kernan's about 20 years ago
when Joe Howard was starting to
mount the ladder of fame. He had
written a song entitled Hello. My
Baby" and Dot Davenport, down at
the old Riiou. had the words printed
on slips of paper and distributed
through the house nightly. AS a
result burlesque patrons knew the
song by the time Howard came here
with his company. Thinking his song
was new, he asked the packed house.
a ma tor!ty of which were Georgetown
students, to join in the chorus. When
he reached the chorus Howard was
dumfounded at the volume of voices
that carried the air. and he plainly
showed it, But he had started some
thing that got beyond his control. as
liquor was then sold al the old variety
house.
The curtain was lowered and lights
turned off, but the crowd kept on
singing, Hello. My Baby" and al.
though Hughey Herman threatened
20 call the police, he was wise enough
TO take no action. Finally, realizing
the humor of the situation. the lights
