Doctor at 80 Found People
Preferred His Prescription

The basis Of treating sickness has
not changed since DR.. Caldwell left
Medical College in 1875. nor since
he placed on the market the laXa-
tive prescription he had used in
his practice, known to druggists and
the public since 1892, as Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin.
Then, the treatment of constipa-
ton, biliousness, headaches, mental
depression. indigestion, sour stom-
ach and other indispositions that
result from constipation was en-
tirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These
are still the basis of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, which is a combina-
ton of SIENNA and other mild laXa-
tive herbs, with pepsin.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they we're good for
human beings to put into their
system. If grown people want to
use them no one can deny them the
privilege, but they should never be
given to children.
The simpler the remedy for con-
stipation, the safer for the chile
and for you, and the better for the
general health of all. And as you
can get results in a mild and safe
way by using DR.. CaldwelVs Syrup
Pepsin, why take chances with

ries the old wreck for the purpose OF
driving her daughter into good So
ciety" where she thought that said
daughter would get grand product
of a husband.
And here is where we come to the
big understanding that Miss Elliott
has of Stella. Stella was loud
mouthed, even vulgar. She is the
sort of a campaign issue of wife,
She had a reason. Stella adver-
tised herself to the fine friends OF
her daughter. When Stella was all
dressed up, she looked like a zebra
instead Of a covered wagon.
And when Miss Elliott comes on
the stage looking like zebra, she
arrives at that marvellous concep-
ton of character dressing that you
would expect in Leslie Carter
(when she was great and the SYM
pathetic suggestion of Jeanne
Eagles. Miss Elliott looks like
zebra with her black and white loud
creation. THIS is a masterpiece.
give Miss Elliott all credit in the
world for this character of Stella
more than any word Stella could say
And this dress and the discovery
of its loud, bold and terrible
language, is the keynote of the play
This understanding makes the Stella
of Miss Elliott one of the finest in
dividual accomplishments that the
Berkell organization has ever given
this city.
There is voice quality to- Miss
Elliott this week. She is not Miss
Elliott. She is Stella Dallas. Stella
suffered. So does Miss Elliott. Stella
was fraud and Miss Elliott catches
the keynote of that quality. The
combination is gigantic proof that
in such roles Miss Elliott is more
than masterful. She is a discovery.
There are two other very finely
drawn characterizations in Stella
Dallas" The credit goes to the
Helen Morrison of Bernice Marsolais
and to the Ed. Mum of Larry Sulli-
van. It is in the second act that
Miss Marsolais comes forward with
a finely drawn and honest concep-
ton of a widow with money. She
does it, not by dress, but by voice.
And this is great acting. Larry
Sullivan has never been better than
\ he is as the drunken and loud
mouthed Ed. Mum.

Of the Berkell company in the other

venuto Cellini with his loves and
his hates, his despairs and MS
exaltations.
The model, who through her
success with men, became holder
and asked for what she wanted was
played by Marie Adels. Always
cold and practical, with an eye for
her benefits, and yet strangely APP
pealing was the character, seeming
to work from a background into a
foreground with a nearly imper-
ceptable movement.
Alessandro, the Duke of Florence
afraid of his wife and having d
poor memory, furnished a lot of the
comedy. Larry Fletcher played the
part of the duke. He must hang his
enemies, if he thought of it, yet q
pretty face would distract his at
tention at once. Fletcher plays
character here in a mighty gooc
fashion.
This lady, who was not the
Duchess, but the Duke, was pro-
trayed by Charlotte Irwin. The
Duchess loved well and also wisely
keeping the Duke busy trying not
to come into contact with hel

good bit of work here.

Polverino a person you might want
