a. surprise" This is lot Of things.
This something new that I have
been talking about is scene in a
graveyard and has a high comedy
percentage.
Then Miss Codee does a scene
that she says she saw in an Apache
place in Paris. It is all done in
French, so that none of the effect
is lost, but so great is the dramatic
value that it needs no interpreta-
ton.
Florence Vernon and Company
are connected in some way with
Miss Codee. Miss Vernon is dane
err of some talent and she is as
sisted by Jack Deakin and Billy
Byron in a skit that they present.
There is another fellow who clowns
through his act and is with Miss
Codee.
1.-THE Four of U.s." a quartette, do
some yodeling and songs of the old
time kind. They also put words to
one of the better known of Rigo-
lette songs. They also help out in
Miss Goddess acts and play the part
of some of the dead persons and are
in the cafe scene.
That is why say that Miss Codee
is a marvellous woman.
On the same bill are Eileen and
Marjorie who have some new ideas
to put forth in regards to ttmbling.
These two young ladies do most of
the turns on their heads and have
some novelty falls that are quite
amusing.

Man at Hooks Drug Store, Illinois

are calling daily to find out for
themselves about this surprising new
Konjola compound. =
1.-THE action of Konjola was sur
prising in my case" continued Mr..
Hockersmith, because it cleansed
my whole system and built me up in
so many ways that I am feeling bet
ter than I have for the past five or
six years."
my main trouble had been con-
stipation, from which I suffered for
twenty years, and am stating the
facts when I tell you that Konjola
proved to be just what had needed
to Danish the poisons which caused
my whole system to be upset for
years.
my stomach was also giving me
a lot of trouble, and I could hardly
find a thing to eat which would
agree with me. My food would
sour, ferment and bloat me so that
I felt stuffed up and sometimes had
a hot, feverish sensation from my
throat to the pit of my stomach
Frequent headaches and bilious at
tacks would overcome me, and be-
sides, very seldom got a decent
nights rest. In the mornings
would get up feeling like I was al
beaten down. Finally, all these
miseries Slapped my strength so thai
my health was a complete wreck.
"As soon as I found out that thi'
Konjola was made up of juices from
plants, such as roots, herbs, ETC.,
decided to try it, and now that

American conference today.
Both were presented at a meet
ing of the conmittee\ on Pan
American Union affairs.
On one side was Charles Evans

of interests to bring about better
ment of conditions. On the other
was DR.. Honorio Puerreydon, Ar

duction Of trade barriers and Gus

Hughes speech was directed to-
ward the Mexican proposal for re-

He opposed change in the COM

stressed necessity of a permanent

FAST BURLESQUE

1.-THE Girls From the Follies" is
billed as the fastest burlesque show
on the circuit. I believe it. In fact

it is so fast that it is nearly i'm
possible to distinguish the words of
the songs. The redeeming feature
to it is the action is swift and that
is something.
Gladys Clarke is nearly the whole
show. She is very versatile
young woman playing musical in
struments and singing and many
other things. She instills some art
by doing a classical dance and hav-
ing the chorus in some poses that
border on the classical.
This show is run somewhat differ
entity than most of its ilk, having all
the leads, that is the women, on the
stage at the same time. Not just
once, but in nearly every ensemble
do they lead the chorus.
Fred Bender is chief among the
comedians and although he gets
into the risque more than once,
the show is clean. At least when I
saw it.
This is good burlesque.
