Stomach Disorders
First Revealed by
Coated Tongue

Your tongue is nothing more
than the upper end Of your stom-
ach and intestines. It is the first
thing your doctor looks at. It tells
at a glance the condition Of your
digestive system and physicians
say that 900 of all sickness starts
with stomach and bowel trouble.
A coated tongue is a danger sig
nal of those digestive disorders
which lead tn so many kinds Of
serious illness. It tells why the
least exertion tires you out; why
you have pains in the bowels, gas,
sour stomach, dizzy spells.
Coating on the tongue Is q sign
that you need Tanlac-the medi.
cine which has helped thousands
who were physical wrecks from
stomach and bowel troubles-who
had "tried everything" in vain and
about given up hope.
Tanlac contains no mineral
drugs; it is made Of banks, herbs
and roots. Get q bottle from your
druggist today. Your money back
If it doesn't help you.

Long Apprenticeship

fitted with 126 kitchen chairs and a
wheeZy piano.
At last, in December Of 1907. she Sc
cured her FIRST engagement in a vaude-
vile theater, playing for an entire week
for the princely salary Of $3.50, less 5
per cent for the agents commission.
1t so happened that one day, when
appearing in the olio of q burlesque
show, her trunk, containing her darby
makeup, failed to arrive and she was
forced to appear in whiteface.
This proved the turning point in her
| career. She was not again to appear
in blackface. Unfettered by the con-
cealing coat of burnt cork, she was able
to "get over" her comedy points to bet
ter advantage.
Thus, beginning in 1909, she ascend
ed to the topmost heights in her pro-
feSsion, headlining vaudeville bills in
| every important vaudeville theater in
America and appearing as well in the
principal theaters Of the British Isles.
Sandwiched between her vaudeville
appearances, she appeared in a number
of musical comedies and acted as star
entertainer and mistress of ceremonies
at various important night clubs, such
as Researchers, in New York, where
the Sophie Tucker room was named
after her; at the Playground, which she
owned; at the Rendezvous, In Chicago,
and finally at the famous Kit Kat Club,
in London, where she attained q posi-
ton in the affections of English society
such rs has never before been attained
by any American performer.

Local Stage and Screen
Notes Gathered ArOund Washington PlayhOnSeS

! players be heard in every corner of
| the auditorium The problem was an
old one to legitimate theaters: it was
| very new to the movies. While the
sound reproducing machinery had
plenty of power to hurl the tiniest
whispered word into the next county
If need be, theater managers had to
remember to keep the voices natural
and within q reasonable volume.
The Metropolitan, along with thou
| sands of other houses in the country.
has experimental considerably in the
past few months with different phases
of acoustics. For one thing, the type
Of screen used had to be entirely
changed. Whereas the old screen for
silent films was a semi-solid affair. the
new type must be porous to permit the
issuance Of sound from the back-stagc
| apparatus. The Metropolitan has tried
several different kinds.
The placement of the sound horns is
another important matter A great
| difference is made by throwing the
voices and musical accompaniment
from different angles of projection. Put
them low down behind the screen and
the voices seem to come from the
actors feet: too high, and the words
| appear to spring from above their heads
To find the exact and logical point of
projection is not an easy thing.
| A considerable difference exists be-
tween the volume of sound needed when
the house is full as compared with an
empty auditorium. Such is, of course,
the case with legitimate theaters, too.
To control the intensity OF the sound as
dictated by the degree of acoustics pro-
vided by the presence of the spectators
| themselves the reproducing mechanism
is equipped with "fader,'' which grad
yates volume from whisper to a roar.

COPHIE TUCKER, 'last of the red
~ hot mammas," as she is billed, has
entered talking pictures and stars in
"Honky Tonk."
She is recognized as one Of the
worlds most effective singers Of popu-
lar songs. The story of her theatrical
career takes one from long appren-
ticeship in cheap New York motion
picture theaters, where, in blackface
and nondescript clothes, she coon
shouted" 20 times a day to q position
as the leading headliner of American
vaudeville.
In her younger days Sophie's parents
conducted a hotel and restaurant in
Hartford, Conn. and she served as
dish washer, waitress and entertainer.
Often she RECALLED the customers with a
lusty song between the soup and the
wiener schnitzel, eliciting the praise of
the delighted patrons and inquiries as
to why she did not 60 on the stage.
Eventually she did, though the proc
ess was not without its difficulties. Un-
able to overcome the objections of her
parents, Sophie ran away from home
in the dead of night and proceeded to
New York, where she accepted a posi-
ton as entertainer in a German cafe in
the heart of the then Tenderloin dis
trict.
It was many months before she Sc
cured job singing In an unpretentious
picture show, and thus introduced for
the first time the idea of combining
motion pictures and vaudeville. The
theater was a dtlapidated store show"
