bering life both in general and as
a type.
Miss Elliott is doing a study in
general that is a credit to her abil-
ity and her position as leading
woman. She has caught the true
spirit of life, and I am sure that
as you read this, she has corrected
her error in the last scene Of the
third act.
What ever trouble there was in
the Berkell production of The
Barker" on the opening night hap
pened in the third act. Milton
Byron up to this last scene CT the
third act has caught at various
times the true character Of
nifty" but he lost it at times. 1t
was not an even Characterization.
In the third act, second scene, BY
ron lost his character Also did
Idabelle Arnold as the snake
charmer. Up to that time, Miss
Arnold had created an individual
which would live for months in
the memory of the audience.
And do not overlook the real
work of Bob Fay as Sailor" West,
the lad who puts pictures" upon
the arms of men. Here is rare
work on the part of Fay. Real, ter
ribly real. just a bit, but he lifts
it.
When Mildred Hastings was the
tough old Nav" who knew life
under the carnival top, she was
wonderful, but she, too, got out of
character in her sentimental mo-
ments in the third act This third
act is a tough baby, But am sure
that this is all corrected now.
Others in the cast include: Larry
Sullivan, william Worswick, Wayne
Anderson, Harry HoXworth, Robert
st. Clair, William v. Hull, Bcrnice
NIarsolais and some Hawaiian
players.
William Hull as technical director
has done his best job ever in this
city in the way that ne has caught
the atmosphere of the carnival.
When I consider the play and the
various elements of realism that
are envolvRI in the numerous char
acterizations, I honestly feel that
"The Barker" is the high note of
all the productions that Berkell has
given this city.
Here is a great study and it
should play to capacity. Don't be
afraid of life. See 1.-THE Barker"

Starving ToDeath
Many Persons Get No
NOurishment From Food

Thousands of people who are pale,
thin, weak and run down are liter
ally starving to death because their
system in it's weakened condition is
unable to take up the nourishment
which the food they eat contains.
To such people Father Johns Medl-
cine is of great value because it has
vast food value and the pure,
wholesome nourishment which 1t
contains is easily taken up by the
weakened system and turned into
tissue, muscle and flesh.

and helps along the comedy of
Burns The last man is the
Egyptian.
Another comedy skit of an en-
tirely different type is that of Nola
and Wynn st. Glars. There is
show girl and a girl from the
Sticks" who has stage aspirations.
The "hick" girl is the better of the
two, both as singer and a dancer.
She also has more personality. The
greatest part of the act is a
burlesQue on grand opera singing
and eccentric dancing. A good
comedy act.
Here is an acrobatic act that has
one real distinguishing mark. The
Les JardyS have as a finale a stunt
called the Human Fan" 1t is done
on a pole with the man holding it

act is done on pole, but is medi-

befre the curtain. The girl is "of"

man tries to make her acquaint-
ance. There is some Snappy dia-
log here, but rather falls off when
they start to sing their thought.
The girl has a good voice and the
man a fair one. The selection of
songs fit in with the theme Of the
skit.
A Scotchman tells lot of stories
about himself and his brother Will
lie, Willie, according to Neil Kirk,
seems to spend most of his time
drinking with all and everybody.
Some of the stories are very funny.
Kirk also sings several Scotch songs.
He has a very fair voice.

POLITICS
(As Seen By a NesO Castle Countian)

e Another thing, very few here con
| slider that Mr.. du Pont, ever ha
been very much of a Republican
and that the party is not sustaining
even the loss of his vote in his per
, sonal declaration that he will sup
port Smith for the Presidency.
AS for other political revelation:
scarcely a day passes but that some
political herald rushes into the fore.
front and announces that another
political Richmond, has buckled on
his armor and entered the list to do
battle for some fair Office for which
he-himself of course-feels he is
especially qualified and to which he
has preferred claim.
It is pretty generally known, by
those who do not take everything
for granted that is handed out for
consumption by would be party
leaders, that there is a great game
of political discrimination being
played against the unwary. For in
stance, one is flashing the pretense
of being for the denomination of the
present Governor, while another
who is always found in the final
windup to be hooked up with the
party just alluded to is audibly pre-
tending to be for C. D. Buck, for the
Office of chief executive. The fact
is, however, that neither is for the
present Governor, nor for Mr.. Buck,
for Governor, but both are playing
the gloved hand game for one of
their own number. And this will
most likely come out in the conven-
ton wash if the scheme can be made
possible and the political suds holds
out.
Some time ago the same parties
were pretending to be favorable to
Mr.. Shorts candidacy, fortunately,
however, for that gentleman, their
pretentions were not taken serious
ly. Mr.. Short is one of the unwary.
At this time DR.. L. Heisler Ball
seems to be the only announced
candidate for the Office of U. S. SEN
ator, and it looks as though he were
gaining strength.
There is one thing about the doc
tor, he can go before the people of
this State and say that he gave them
the best he was capable of while in
the United States Senate. He was
always on the job and supported the
National Administration in all it's
DR.. Ball has a large fol-
lowing in this County. Even those
who oppose him respect him for his
ability and party loyalty.

COME BACK FOR RAILROAD
TRAVEL

During recent years, the railroads
have had to suffer sharp competi.
ton in their passenger business
from the use of the automobile. Mil
lions of families, who used to go on
summer vacation outings by rail
now bowl along over the roads with
their automobiles, while the pas
senger train that used to carry them
may be partly empty.
During recent years, the roads in
many sections have become crowd
ed, and with all the congestion in
cities through which motor travel
lers have to pass, there is some
tendency for many of these people
to use the railroads more. By MAX
ing railroad service attractive, the
railroads can get back considerable
passenger business they used to
have.
The way to get it back is to ad-
vertise. They need publicity as
much as any line of business. Such
advertising should dwell upon the
comforts of railroad travel, the
speed with which distances are
covered, the fine scenery through
which the line passes. The rail-
roads that call public attention to
the good service rendered by their
trains, seem attractive to the pub
lie, and people like to travel on
them.
Sufficient room on the trains is a
great encouragement to travel. If
the traveller wants to ride in the
day coach but always has to share
his seat with someone, he is apt to |
feel cramped. Plenty of room for
plenty of room for bag
gage, make the journey seem COM
Portable.
Passengers get impatient, if a
train drags along without getting to
it's destination on time. The trains
that speed along without too many |
stops make a journey seem pleas
ant. The main thing is to get there
on time, for it is the unexpected |
delay that frets. But if the pass
enger gets to his destination at the |
hour and minute the timetable
states, he is content, and feels he
has had his moneys worth.
