THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

a mighty rich man is not all roses
and also that a career is not just
filled with rainbowS. 1t gives Miss
Taliaferro an opportunity to put
sincerity into her acting to that de-
gree which does eliminate the
hokum melodrama to big degree.
This act is nicely set although
there was some curtain trouble
when I saw it Monday afternoon.
The company is adequate, much
better, in fact, than we get in four
a-day vaudeville. Good dramatic
sketches are few and far between
these days.
Irving and CLANCY, man and
woman, have an eccentric dance
routine which is as individual as the
way they deliver it. Both are good
dancers.
Some old f1ddlers with much OF
the country actually taken out of
them because they are clever show
mem stage a contest with three
modern jazz players. The act is so
managed by the man who controls
the act on the stage that the old
f1ddlerS get the best breaks. The
act is a novelty. And Of course the
old fiddlerS are better players and
showmen than the modern players.
Winchester and Ross go in for
eccentric fun. They have a brand
of groteSque comedy that sells with
ease. Bud Snyder and company try

DRUGS EXCITE
THE KIDNEYS,

Take Salts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache.

The American men and women
must guard constantly against kid
ney trouble because we often eat
too much rich food. Our blood is
filed with acids which the kidneys
strive to filter out; they weaken
from overwork, become sluggish, the
eliminative tissues clog and the re-
suit is kidney trouble, bladder weak
ness and a general decline in
health
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts; if you
suffer with sick headache, or dizzy,
nervous spells, acid stomach, or if
you have rheumatism when the
weather is bad, begin drinking lots
of good soft water and get from
your pharmacist about four ounces
of Jad Salts. Take a tablespoonful
in a glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kid
neys may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in the system so
they no longer are a source OF irri-
tation, thus aften relieving bladder
disorders.

bers; he has fair voice. This is a
good dance act.
Murray Harris and Harry Pepper
have comedy skit which shows one
man trying to teach the other sales
manship. Harris is the more serious
of the two while Pepper is the
comedian. Pepper uses the old
hokum in his part, but he has some
new expressions that are funny. The
comedy Of these two men is fast, but
it is good.
AS a novelty there is Miacahua,
who walks tight wire and does not
use a pole or an umbrella to balance
herself with. All through the act
she is on the wire and most of the
time in the middle of it. Among
other things, this woman does the
black bottom and skips rope while
in the middle of the wire. A clever
act that has the element of some
thing different to it.

UNIVERSITY SHOW
COMES TO THIS CITY

The hit of the Jordan River Revue
last night at the Murat was a foot
ball drill done by the girls of the
chorus, all in tap dancing. The vari-
GUS formations and the calling of
signals was all done by means of
the dance.
Among other features of the show
was a sister act, comprised of
Geneva Cocherell, June Jackson and
Gayle Walker, that sang several
''blues." They were in both the
opening and closing acts of the
show. There was a toe dancer that
was good and one of the bowery
dances that was burleSqued. Very
good.
The theme OF the show was a
young college man that had taken
screen tests and went to Hollywood
to be an actor. Before he had left
the school a movie vamp had made
his sweetheart jealous and the
young man got his fraternity pin
back. After some time in Holly
wood the actor gets discouraged and

playing at the Mutual this week.
This girl is featured as the leading
dancer. She really can dance with
out making it seem obscene, but she
is not so much of a singer, although
she was personality enough.
The leading comedian is Fred
Reeb, who has been here before.
Reeb has a comedy of the sure-fire
kind and is a good burlesque come
dian.
The chorus of this show has some
steps that differ from the usual
steps of the chorus. One of the
girls is a toe dancer Of some fair
ability.
Other members of the show are
above the average of most burlesque
companies. The show is well CO.'S
