10 German Effort to Win Ground Taken by Foch Army Fails at Night Paris, Sept. 26.—German troops last night made an effort to regain .' some of the valuable ground recent- j ly won from them by tht French [ neax the western end of the Chemin des Dames. They attacked in the region of the Missy farm, in this j area, but according to to-day's war j office statement the effort was an entire faiure. The statement reads: "In the course of the night the | artillery was active in the region of ; St. Quentin and between the Ailette and the Aisne. "German attacks in the region of i Moissy farm were completely j checked. "On the Vesle front a lively ar tillery fire was maintained. "French troops repulsed German raiding parties in the Champagne and in Lorraine and in the latter re gion carried out an incursion into the German lines," 'WorkWas a Drag' Says a Well-known Farmer. Gives All Credit to Tonall for Restored Health "I had what was supposed to be dropsy. I have farmed all my life. For years work was a drag to me," ; says George E. Sensenig. Gap, R.'D. No. 2, Lancaster county, Pa. "Now after taking four bottles of j Tonall I can work on the farm with I pleasure. My swelling and bloating have all gone. My wife uses it also j and joins with me in praising its' merits. We would not think of go- ! ing without it in our home. The i Roots, Herbs, and Barks, which are j in Tonall can't be beat, when it comes to fixing up a sick person with dropsy or stomach troubles." This testimonial was given July 18, 1918. Tonall is sold at Gorgas' Drug Store, Harrisburg; Hershey's at Her shev, and Martz' at Steelton.

DICKINSON 505-513 N, 13th St. ROTH I'HO.N'ES WEDNESDAY EVENING, ' hahrisburg TELEGRAPH: SEPTEMBER 25, 1918. COMEDY PROVES LAUGH PRODUCER Wcll-Fillod House Is Pleased With Production of "Fair and Warmer" A well-filled house at the Orpheum theater last night exhausted itself laughing at the production of "Fair and Warmer" by Selwyn and Com- pany. That "old friends are best" was shown last night, when the au dience greeted the fourth appearance of the comedy in this city with gales of laughter and much applause The company was a thoroughly capable one, with every part well played. For that reason the comedy was as m'uch appreciated by' those who have seen it previously as by the "first nighters." The comedy is retaining its popularity and is one of the most enjoyable to be offered in years. Paul Irving as Billy Bartlett. the poor worm of a husband who "turn ed," was a scream. Diminutive, too much in love with his wife to differ with her even when she suggested a divorce, won her love forever in a laughable way that also won the audience. Marjorie Roberta Davis as Blanny Wheeler, the innocent wife with whom Billy staged his fall from was constantly delightful to the audience because of her natural ness and sweet impersonation of the unsophisticated wife. Douglas Mc pherson. as Jack Wheeler, her hus band. played his part well. and "fixed" things for poor Billy. Laura Bartlett. Billy's wife, played by Har riet Worthington. was the eternal feminine, and showed how the part should be played, doing always just what she was expected not to do. Others in the cast were Horace Lintz as Phillip Evans, the third man: Marion Bruce, as Tessie, the maid, and William Loughlin and William Mackin. as the moving men. Doing Her Bit in a Novel Way [ ! MISS FLORENCE TIMPONI Miss Florence Tlmponl, a talented I young singer on the Keith vaudeville . i circuit, has taken unto herself an , ! odd method of doing her hit. She is , i collecting old canes, old gloves and , I suitcases, handbags, etc., in fact any . j thing made of leather, for the sol . diers. The canes are used for con [ \alescent soldiers, crippled in war " fare. The gloves are used to make > aviators vests and the heavier leather t of the suitcases, etc.. is used in the protection of the hands in handling J ammunition. . I Miss Timponi will be in Harrisburg .j at the Majestic theater the latter l three days of the present week, and , ! she will carry on a personally con * i ducted drive for the canes and leath '| er while she is working there. A ' | huge box will be placed in the lobby, 1 • and theatergoers are urged to bring . ! with them any kind of old leather or ' t kid that they may have around the ■ house. Wornout gloves are in much I demand. Now that walking sticks are !out of fashion there are several loaf ing around in the average home with i nothing to do. If you are koing to I the Majestic the latter half # of the I week..hunt up that old cane now and take it along with you. You may help out some soldier boy who will be able to walk the quicker through your thoughtfulness. Miss Timponi turns her collections; of wares over to the Red Cross in i cities, and will do so here in case the Red Cross Chapters of the city are | interested in this kind of salvage. Erzberger Holds France Blameless in Charge of Making Belgium Invasion Amsterdam. Sept. 25.—1n his book ! entitled "The League of Nations— The Way to Peace." Mathias Erz ' berger. Clerical member of the Ger j man Reichstag, completely exoner ! ates France from the idea of invad ; ing Belgium, according to the Weser j Zeitung. "Not a single valid documentary I I proof of the intention of France to j cross the frontier can be produced," I says Herr Erzberger. "It is even es ■ tabllshed from the German side that the French plans of mobilization did not provide for entering Belgium." ! | With the presentation of "Eyes of ; Youth," at the Orpheum to-night and • to-morrow, matinee and I -Eyes of night, theatergoers will Yoatli" have an opportunity of witnessing one of the most notable New York successes of last season, and one of the most un usual dramatic novelties that the American stage has produced in recent j years. The play ran for an entire I year at the Maxine Elliott Theater, New Y'ork City, retaining its tremend- | ous popularity to the very end of its ■ engagement and closing only because I ' the players were in need of a rest.' "Eyes of Youth" is best described as | a dramatic fantasy in three acts and I I four episodes. It was written by Max j Marcin and Charles Guernon. Its story ! deals with the mythical experiences of Gina Ashling, a young girl, who, J on the threshold of life is compelled to choose one of several careers that ' are offered her. In her uncertainty a 1 poor Hindu appears and through the medium of a crystal, enables her to | read her own heart, and thereby her ! future. She sees in the crystal the various results of every choice she ! might make. Each act begins in the . hqme of Gina, is followed by a transi | tion to the episode of the crystal, and ! then returns to the world of reality, i Four crystal episodes are visualized | in the course of the play. "Eyes of i j Y'outh" is. however, by no means an ' episodic play: it is a progressive I , story, essentially dramatic and thrill- | | ing. of a girl's search for truth. It p reveals in a picturesque and extraor- , I dinary narrative, a remarkable spir itual lesson. The production is an ef fective one and the splendid cast in- I eludes twenty-five metropolitan play- | ess. headed by Mabel Brownell. I Booth Tarkington has two nephews. I That is the real origin of the play I "Seventeen," which ! i "Seventeen" comes to the Orpheum ) on Friday evening. These nephews achieved the tragic comic age of seventeen and started their uncle pondering on what a dif- j fioult world this is to the idealism of ; romantic youth. He was deeply in sympathy with his nephews, for he remembered himself at their age, but he couldn't help seeing the funny side of their troubles, i Rolling the two nephews into one. | I he christened the fiction lad William ; Sylmanus Baxter. Jr., and presented | him to the public in a series of short ] stories in the Metropolitan Magazine. Then, under the title of "Seventeen," | the stories appeared in book form j and have run through many editions. The public, guided by Mr. Tarking- ! ton's genius, sees both sides of Wil- i lie Baxter's troubles and follows the chronicle of this delightfully human young hero with both laughter and tears. More than the customary interest shown In a theatrical production is evinced in A. H. Woods' "Bnalnesa forthcoming production of Before "Business Before Pleas- Plensnre" ure," the great New York comedy hit of the season 1917-1918, which will he presented at the Orpheum Theater on Saturday for . an engagement of one night only. . i "Abe" Potash and "Mawruss" Perl mutter, the central characters of "Business Before Pleasure,' are too afmiliar to theatergoers the world over to need any further Introduction, and the fame of their current vehicle In which they played for month after month to capacity audiences at the Eltlnge Theater, New York, has al ready gone before them. 'Business Be fore Pleasure" is the work of Mon tague Glass, creator of the original characters, and Jules Eckert Good man, the noted playwright. It con tinues the further episodes In the de lightful and exciting career of "Abe" Potash and "Mawruss" Perlmutter, the former cloak and suit partners, but now more Imposing, more quarrel some, more amusing and more philo sophical than ever as moving picture / Use McNeil's Cold Tablets. Adr. | Mabel Brownell in "Eyes of Youth" j Which Opens at the Orpheum Tonight I * C ' . ~~ " " •> V ' -s • ' " ♦ ♦ Miss Mabel Brownell, who will be seen in the leading role of "Eyfes of youth" at the Orpheum to-riight and to-morrow matinee and night, was the original choice of the Messrs. Shubert for the role of the heroine, "Gina Ashling." Through arrangements previously made and contracts thereto which had to be honored. Miss Brownell did not at first play the [ part, but she has her opportunity now and is making the most of it. Her I performance in the stellar role is reported to be very fine, indeed, i Miss Brownell was the discoverer of "Eyes of Youth" and was the means of bringing Charlee Guernon, its author, to the attention of Messrs. Shubert and A. H. Woods, the sponsors of the production. I producers. It is as movie magnates that they are presented in "Business I Before Pleasure." and as such literally furnish a laugh to the line. Their ex perience with their- first and only vampire is provocative of more laugh- | ter than is found in a dozen average | comedy sucesses. Not since the days of "Floradora.' so 'tis said, has there been a light I musical entertainment j "Oh, Boy" that has caught the pub- ! lie fancy as instantane- j ously and as securely as "Oh, Boy," i which comes to the Orpheum next j Tuesday evening. This fact is empha sized by the records established in i other cities. "Oh. Boy' is now playing i its second season in New York and ; is in its sixth month of popularity in Chicago. The company which will present this Comstock-Elliott production at , the Orpheum comes direct from two i years at the Princess Theater, New ; York, and is the same big production and cast, including: Anna Wheaton, j Marie Carroll, Edna May Oliver, Au gusta Haviland. Charles Compton, Harold Crane, Harry Quealy, Stephen ' Maley, Ethel Forde. Helen Frances. Margaret Mason, Jack Raeffel, Ralph O'Brien. "Jack" Merritt and others. Jerome Kern's music and a book of genuine comedy by Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse have put "Oh. Boy," in ' a position that would be difficult to equal. The production of the piece is picturesque and in excellent taste, and the entire performance is made ~ up of a spirit of youth and enthusiasm that is decidedly refreshing. < It is understood that one of the com ing attractions booked at the Orpheum Theater, will be "The "The Naughty Wife." the big Naughty farce hit which played one Wife" entire season at the Har- ! ris Theater, New York, and ! which will he seen here on Wednes day. October 2, for a matinee and night only. Reeva Greenwood and Frederick : Sumner, who play the leading roles in the farce, are said to have won the ! unqualified approval of the news- j paper critics.
