'OH, BOY' GOOD
MUSICAL COMEDY
Many Enjoy Tuneful Melodies
in Play at Orpheum
Last Night
An entertaining plot and plenty of
fine musical numbers presented by
capable artists make the enjoyable
combination in "Oh, Boy," the musical
comedy presented at the Orpheum
last night.
Without the music, the plot with
the addition of a few more parts to
' cause humorous situations, would be
a fine one for a comedy-drama. In
fact, the story itself contributes more
to the success of the play than the
musical numbers, as some of these are
not up to the standard. Others, how
ever. were tuneful melodies which
were appreciated and the audience
last night called for many encores.
The ones which were the most ap
plauded were: "You Never Knew
About Me, Till the Clouds Roll By,"
"Nesting Time," an excellent comedy
song, and "Words Are Not Needed."
"Flubby Hub, the Cave Man," was an
odd number which also pleased.
Those who saw Ijeona Thompson
last night as Jackie .Sampson, ap
plauded her heartily. She played as
"Modesty" in Hobart's successful pro
duction, "Experience." but her ability
to entertain was evidenced more in
"Oh, Boy." as she had more opportu
nities. Others in the cast who were
called for encores when they appear
ed in song and dance numbers, were
Gertrude Waixel, William Pruette, Jr..
and Charles Knowlden. Mr. Knowlden
and Leona Thompson were heartily
applauded after each offering, and
their parts certainly were well played.
The story itself is about a bachelor
■who gets married and then gets into
nil kinds of trouble because of the
turn of affairs brounht about by a
friend. While "Oh, Boy" cannot be
classed with the best of musical com
edies. it is exceptionally good and is
thoroughly enjoyable.

[Magnesia Baths
For Indigestion
Doctor Recommends Them In Place
of Drugs, Pepsin, Soda or
Artificial Dlgestents '
"Only those in constant touch with
sufferers from indigestion and dys
pepsia can fully realize the harm
done by the improper use of artificial
digestents or drugs like pepsin or
soda pills and tablets in the treatment
of stomach trouble," declares a well
known physician.
In fully nine cases out of ten di
gestive trouble is caused by an excess
of hydrochloric acid in the stomach,
which sours and ferments the food,
creating gas on the stomach and often
causing intense pain or burning.
The forcing of food from stomach
to intestines with artificial digest
ents in such a case is almost criminal
folly as serious intestinal indigestion
may very easily follow. Instead the
stomach should be given a magnesia
bath to clean out the acids, sweeten
the food contents, soothe and allay
inflammation and irritaUon of the
stomach walls and thus permit the
normal healthy digestion of the food.
You can give your acid inflamed
stomach no finer treatment than a
magnesia bath. It is simple, easy
and pleasant to take, cannot injure
the stomach and is not at all expen
sive. Just get a small bottle of Bisur
atod Magnesia (either tablets or pow
der) from G. A. Gorgas or any
druggist, put a teaspoonful of
the powder or two tablets in
a glass of water and drink it
at every meal for a few davs and
your stomach will act and feel fine. It
must be understood that I do not ad
vise the use of such forms of mag
nesia as citrates, acetates, sulphates,
milks or lump magnesia. One of these
might do more harm than good. I be
lieve that nothing but purS blHiirateil
miiKncMln should be used to neutral
ize an acid stomach. This form is not
difficult to obtain. The best drug
gluts have it and in tho bisurated tab
let or powder form it will instantly
•neutralize stomach acidity and insure
pafliless, natural digestion for even
chronic sufferers from stomach
trouble.—Advertisement.

Base American Flotilla In Bfltlah
Waters.—(Correspondence of The
Associated Press.) —The smallest
American sailor in the whole Euro
pean flotilla has the place of honor
in the orchestra at the Sailors' Olub
House here, and plays the biggest
bas viol that has ever been seen In
Ireland. He comes from Chicago,
and his instrument overtops him by
a clean two feet when they are stand
ing side by side. When he is seated,
he is completely hidden beyond the
instrument.
There are thirty-five pieces In the |
American orchestra, and by special >
arrangement with publishers in!
America, they receive proofsheets of j
all the latest American music and
are playing It In their hut on the)
shores of Ireland almost before it
has appeared in New York.
The orchestra leader Is a pay-clerk
on the flagship of the flotilla who
devotes several hours each day to
practicing new music with his ambi
tious musicians. They must learn a
new set of music each week to go
with the ever-changing bills of en
tertainment provided for the sailors.
The leader is an organizer who has
by sheer perseverance whipped into
shape an orchestra that delights the
men of the flotilla. British and
American naval and British military
officers of high rank are among the
most appreciative in the audiences
of every Friday and Saturday night.
Moving pictures are always a part
of these shows, the comics being f.s-.
pecially welcomed by the sailors
whose loud guffaws, are in them-.
selves enough to produce a laugh.
The newest feature, suggested l>y the
orchestra leader, Is the singing by
the entire audience of the latest
American songs. The words are
thrown on a large screen and are
sung with a will by the sailors.
In these audiences of between 500
and 600 there always is a generous
sprinkling of British sailors and sol
diers who are urged to avail them
selves of all the privileges of the
clubhouses. Thev can even sleep there
overnight in large domitories pro
vided for all men in either branch of
service who may have overnight lib
erty from ship, or barracks. For a
clean, comfortable bed and a shower
bath the nominal charge of a shilling
is made. The best food ashore is
cooked on the premises and served at
' cost price.
New scenery made in London is
the latest addition vto the club. It
was put in place iV the flagship's
carpenters whose ha\diwork Is seen
In manv parts of the t\ub. The iron
workers from the sa\ie ship have
also done their first\shore work
since leaving the Unitixl States by
erecting a steel hut to\ house the
moving picture machine Vnd its op-
I erator. The fire laws required this
I little detail.
The only discordant note in con
nection with the ciub comes from the
native population because they are
not permitted to view its wonders.
They must be content to stand out
side and listen to the music an l } the
laughter of the happy men in uni
form. It was explained to them Mint
their own town council asked that
the public be barred. The request
was made at the behest of the pro
prietors of the town's two little pic
ture theaters who saw a threatened
loss of patronage.

FINALE OF ACT 1 IN "ROBINSON CRUSOE, JR.," WITH AL JOLSON, AT THE ORPHEUM
Al. Jolson and the big Winter Garden show, "Robinson Crusoe, Jr.." a notable musical extravaganza, wltn a brilliant east of supporting speci
alists, will be the attraction at the Orpheum Theater to-morrow #venlng. "Robinson Crusoe, Jr.," was a Broadway hit and maintained its prestige
as a box office recordbreaker throughout one of the most notable tours of amusement history, which is now drawing to a close. •
Al. Jolson needs no introduction, but it may be interesting to know that his role of (Jood Friday in the story book spectacle is a thorough
ly happy one, and affords a legitimate and consistent reason for the appearance of a blackface star in a whiteface production. His experiences, too,
with cannibals, pirates, sprites and unheard of things that crop up only on a desert isle offer unlimited opportunities for fun and frolic.
In the company are: Uwrence D'Orsay, of "The Earl of Pawtucket" fame; Kitty Doner, described as "the dancing toast of the Great White
Way;" Mabel Wlthee, Bowers, Crooker and Walters, noted "rubes" of vaudeville; Grace and Berkes, Robert Ryles, Harry Kearley, William Kinlsy,
Trixie Raymond and many others.
The production is said to bo unusually elaborate, the entire company numbering nearly 200, and with its beautiful scenery and costumes
making a capacity load for a special train.

ish manner that is

ing in support of Al. |
Jolson in "Robinson Crusoe. Jr., and |
there is a reason.
The big organization will roll into j
this city on a special train of fifteen
cars with sleeping and diningcar ser- ]
vice for every soul aboard from star
to humblest chorus girl. As it comes j
I l rom nearby, the question will natur- t
11 v arise, why all this expense when ,
Other theatrical organizations invari
ably make the "jump" as a daylight
trip with the regular equipment fur
r.islied by the railroad?
The answer is found in the frequent
reference to the "beauty squad" and
"beauty brigade" to be found in all
the announcements relating to the at
traction. Beauty is the fundamental
appeal that gives the show unparal
leled vogue, and it is the protection
of beautv that compels the manage
ment to indulge in unusual expenses.
Dazzling blondes and dashing bru
nettes are alike prone to fhde, and
there is no greater safeguard against
that process than comfortable sur
roundings. Long, tedious trips, in
stuffy railroad coaches and all that
sort of thing are regarded by the
management as the factors capable
of working great havoc —hence a dis
play of extravagant lavishness in pro
viding comforts such as are enjoyed
by few travelers. "Robinson Crusoe,
Jr.." appears at the Orpheum to-mor
row evening.
"The Girl Without a Chance," which
comes to the Orpheum. Saturday,
matinee and night, is said
"The Cilrl to be one of unusual in-
Wlthout a terest in every particu
l bunce" lar. It possesses every
element to stir the inter
est of the audience and at times cre
ates in them unparalleled enthusiasm.
The story pictures in the first act a
little home in Italy, which is visited
by a couple of American tourists. The
girl becomes infatuated with one of
them which results in her downfall.
The American deserts her and returns
to his qwn country, where twenty
years afterward he comes in contact
with a daughter of his unfortunate
victim. He is then a leading charac
ter in the oolice department and very
closely allied to the underworld, many
of such characters figuring promi
nently in the play. There is a vein
of humor running all through it, serv
• ing excellently to relieve the inten
i sity of the dramatic situation. A story
like this is bound to get the attention
of all lovers of drama.
Announcement is made that G. M.
Anderson and L. Lawrence Weber will
present "Nothing but
"Nothing but the Truth" at the Or
the Truth" pheum on Monday
evening. Nothing
but the Truth" played a solid year to
capacity houses at the Longacre
Theater, in New York City, outliving
any farce produced in Manhattan last
season.
Tho p'ay, which is by James Mont
gomery. is based upon a most unique
idea that tends to keep its audiences
in gales of laughter from the moment
the curtain rises to the last word.
It is announced a brilliant company
of farceurs has been assembled and
the producers are certain to give our
theater patrons something to remem
ber in the way of farce comedy.
It was Snookums, whose only
means of expression was "Da-da," in
"The Newlyweds
"The and Their Baby."
Grown-Up Ilaby" Well, Snookums
has grown up
and everybody knows him as Happy
now, and his further adventures, all
of them amusing ones, will be brought
to the Orpheum Theater on Tuesday,
matinee and night, when one of the
newest and brightest of musical car
toons, "The Newlyweds' Grown-Up
Baby," is booked as the attraction.
Eugene Walter, author of "The
Knife," which the Messrs. Shubert
will present at
Timely Comedy the Orphsum
Acts na "Barrage" next Wednesday
fevenlng, in re
cently discussing the merits of this
sensational melodrama, attributes its
great success to the comedy that
screens the heavier parts of the play.
He says the lighter moments act as
"barrage" for the real action of the
piece, which strikes home to the audi
ence with even greater force.
Barrage fire Is being successfully
used by the allies to cover the ad
vance of their pitposts. It Is some
thing new even in modern warfare.

The characters and the situations of "The Girl Without a Chance" art
presented without artificiality and in a manner that is perfectly logical
tense and with a good, round measure of warm, human sympathy.
Mr. Walter is one of the few authors
who are quick to take advantage of
new words and situations.
"The word 'barrage,'" Mr. "Walter
says, "Is the exact definition of what
comedy is to a heavy play. "The
Knife' Is not a comedy-drama; it is
a melodrama in every seixse of the
word, and yet the few periods of
humor that are employed at the
psychological moment, act as success
ful barrage for the sledgehammer
drives of breathless action which fol
low."

at the Colonial ported by a com
pany of ten clever
entertainers, are presenting a minia
ture musical comedy entitled "The
Art Studio." The piece is replete
with amusing situations, and the song
numbers are said to be tuneful and
catchy. The stage settings and cos
tumes are very elaborate, and the act
Is well presented and Is entertaining
throughout. Newhoff and Phelps, old
favorites, are also Included on the
bill. This clever young couple pos
sess pleasing personalities and good
voices, and their song numbers are
put over In a delightful manner. They
also have a line of comedy that puts
the audience into a good humor. Rog

singing and dancing act; Lightning

roster.
"Paradise Garden" opens a two-day

and the story,
based on George Gibb's novel of the
same title, is a psychological study of
a boy raised in the seclusion of a large
estate, according to the provisions of
his father's will, and not allowed even
to see anyone of the opposite sex un
til he is 21. Before he reaches his
majority, however, a beautiful girl
wanders into "Parndise Garden," and
then the action of the play moves
with great rapidity. Harold Lock
wood, in the role of Jerry Benham,
the boy on whom this experiment is
tried, is all that can be desired. As
usual, he gives a sincere portrayal of
the character which, in less capable
