vening Ledger Readers
"V Thje Evening Ledger, in the course of its, ten
months' existence, has "put over" some really big things, but
it now records a drowning achievement of its steps upward.
We have induced Kemble, the master portrayer
of human foibles and failings, to bring to you daily genuine heart
throbbing comedy.
Kemble, in thorough sympathy with q,ur pojiay
of iifting newspaper comedy out of the low-brow, slapstick, stage, has
agreed, after constant importunings, to- portray the adventures of the
funniest of his funny characterizations on&
Get-Rich-Quick . Walsingf orcl
What George Harvey has been to the editorial
side of the country's great magazines, Kemble has been to thejurr,
making side. You'll find as: much. difference between the ordinary '
"comics" and "Kemble" comedy as between Weber and Fields and
Willie Collier.

Kemble to the leading newspaper?
in the country. The New York Sun
e-in the top rank seized on it im
mediately. Newspapers kept the
wires hot from Detroit, Buffalo,
New Orleans, St, Paul, Birming

have been signed' up for' "Kemble.
