MINSTRELS WIN
MUCH APPLAUSE
Neil O'Brien's Entertainers
Have Fine Program of
Songs uiul Comedy
Bring along a good inlnatral show,
get the people to the thoator to enjoy
the entertainment, and you'll see
hundreds and hundreds in laughter
much of the tlnio or heartily ap
plauding the song nuntborß. Nell
O'Brien and his band of minstrels at
the Orpheum last night just uncorked
all kinds of merriment for the audi
ence and the hilarity at times almost
reached a riot. The reason—lt was a
fine minstrel show. *
Vaughn Comfort was Interlocutor,
and assisting him were somo lino
comedians and vocalists. The witty
repartee and the Jokes in the iirst
{>art of the offering were equal to the
>est offered in Harrlsburg. Some of
the favorite songs were "Pray For
Sunshine." "Roll on Missouri."
•"Way Down in Alabama." "You'll
Be There to Meet Them" —this one
had a number of encores; "Only a
Rose in No Man's Land" and "What
Have You Done." The first part
ended with a tableaux of American
gunners.
Four short comedy offerings were
given as the second part of the enter
tainment. Billy Van Allen, A. B.
Rains, "Sugurfoot" Galtney. Louis
Tracy, William Doran, Fred Miller
and others gave a dancing story in
poetry which made a big hit. It in
cluded some fine eccentrie and acro
batic dancing. "Meatless Day," a
laughable sketch in a restaurant;
'•Coontown Divorcons," a scene in a
lawyer's office, and "The Big Brother
Club," a musical satire, were given
to close tho program.

THE MAJESTIC
From the variety of fun offered at
the Majestic the first half of the
week, the bill should be an attractive
one to theatergoers. Ranging all the
way from the standard vaudeville
act to tho most laughable picture of
domestic woes, the offerings were
brimful of mirth.
Among the favorites on tho bill
are Herbert Denton and Florence
Hackett, who, in ••Poughkeepsie,"
present a highly entertaining and i
frolicsome, if somewhat true, trav-j
rsty on domestic- relations. Tho
troubles of the married man are
shown up in a manner that, while
never humorous in real life, makes

The intense loneliness of a young country girl in a city of 5,000.000

MacCurdy's famous play, "A Little Girl in a Big City," which will again be

fore the public to-day has a bigger appeal than this simple tale, which re
cites the experiences of a little country girl who visits the great metropo- j
lis for the purpose of earning her own livelihood, and it is safe to predict i
that capacity houses will be the rule at every performance.
one of the most laughable pieces on
the stage.
1 Fred Ardath and his comedy
school in "The Singing School" is
one long scream. Unlike many other
acts based upon the plan of a sieging
group, "The Singing School" has
much more to commend it. The
i piece is so full of ridiculous inci

! at which to laugh at each turn, that
I the act may be classed with good
| farce. To be appreciated it must be

Phina and her Picks has also

. "Don't take off the khaki, just

will appeal to returned and retired
officers of the United States Army.

General Clement has recently re
turned from active service on the
western battle front, where he was
sent to study conditions of trench
warfare. When he had submitted a
report to the War Department, which
was sent to General Pershing, Major
General Clement received a personal
letter from Pershing congratulating
him on his splendid review of condi
tions at the front.
During the trouble on the southern
border two years ago, General Clem
ent, as Major General, was in com
mand of the Pennsylvania Division,
known as the Seventh Division, while
in service at the border. He was in
command of the Twenty-eighth Di
vision at Camp Hancock last year.
General Clement is Grand Com
mander of the Knights Templar, a
member of the Rotary Club of Sun
bury, and a prominent attorney at
the bar in Pennsylvania. He will
become Scoutmaster of a troop of
Scouts at St Matthew's Episcopal
Church of Sunbury, where for thirty
one years he has bpen superintendent
of the Sunday school.
The acceptance of a position as
Scoutmaster by General Clement has
made it difficult for other men to
refuse a like call on the ground of
multiplicity of duties, as General
Clement in addition to an extensive
law practice has been ohairman of
the Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign
fur his district and has been identi
fied with every war-work activity
since his return from the front.

these organized boys in khaki if there

turning army men can find in this a
great opportunity. The Scout uni
form, in fact, is much like the army

"Blues" or Look Pale, Haggard
and Worn, Need More Iron In
Their Blood to Strengthen Their Nerves
and Put Color in Their Cheeks, Says Dr. Ken-
neth K. Mac Alpine, Prominent New York Surgeon
and Former Adjunct Professor New York Post
Graduate Medical School and Hospital.
With the divorce courts showing
an ever increasing number of homes
broken up often through woman's
highly nervous state —with thou
sands of women leaving their bus
iness positions or unable to attend to
their household duties because of
their weakened run-down conditions,
and still others whose constant'com
plaining make life a burden to them
selves and ttf their families, It should
be especially interesting to the pub
lic generally to read the opinion of
such a medical authority as Dr. Ken
neth K. Mac Alpine, a prominent New
York surgean, member of the New
York State Medical Society and for
16 years Adjunct Professor of the
New York Post Graduate Medical
School aitd I lospltal, who tells below
how by increasing the supply of iron
in the blood, women may become
stronger, healthier and more suc
cessful in the home, social and bus
iness life.
Dr. Mac Alpine says: "In my opinion
practically nine out of every ton wo
men who suffer from 'Nerves' can im
prove their health, strength, vitality
and general appearance by getting
more Iron in their blood. You can
tell the women whoso blood is rich
in strength-giving Iron, they are the
beautiful, healthy, rosy-cheeked ones,
radiant with life, vim and energy—
envied and sought after everywhere
they go. Yet despite all that has been
said and written by < physicians about
the alarming iron deficiency In the
blood of the average American wo
man of to-day, there are still thous
ands who need something to increase
their red blood corpuscles and build
up their strength and endurance
and are either careless of their con
dition or do not know What to take.
In my opinion there Is nothing bet
ter than organic Iron —Nuxated Iron
—to help make healthy, full-blooded,
beautiful women. By enriching the
blood and Increating its oxygen carry
ing power Nuxated Iron will often
trasform the flabby flesh, toneless
tissues, ami palid cheecks of nervous,
run-down women into a glow of
health and make them look years
younger within a surprisingly short
time.
Dr. George F. Baker, formerly Physician and Surgeon in Monmouth Memorial Hospital of New
Jersey, says: "During convalescence from SPANISH INFLUENZA (La Grippe) I find Nux
ated Iron to be of great benefit."

In commenting upon Dr. Mac A
lpine's article on "Nerves," Dr. Ferdi
nand King, a New York Physician
and Medical Authority, says: "Such
words coming from so high a medical
authority as Dr. Mac Alpine must
carry great weight with every think
ing person. 1 regard Dr. Mac Alpine
as one of the most careful and con
servative of physicians and if I had
an operation to be performed on my
self I know of no other surgeon whom
1 would rather have perfrom it. 1
fully agree with Dr. Mac Alpine that
there can be no healthy, rosy-cheeked
women without Iron. 1 have strongly
emphasized the tact that doctors
should prescribe more organic Iron—
Nuxated Iron—for their nervous, run
down. weak, haggard looking wpmen
patients. Anaemia—lron deficiency—
Is the greutest curse to tlie health,
