"The Ham Tree"
There is a plot to "The Ham Tree"
which comes to the Majestic to-morrow
afternoon and night, and it tells of the
fortunes of these two comical fellows,
one of whom is supposed to know the
lopes of the show business, while the
other has been induced to give up a
"Good job takin' care of horses,"
that he may shine on the stage. They
join the "Georgia Minstrels" and in
four days the show "goes broke."
Then comes the big scene wherein they
are found "counting the ties." Alex
ander's 'lamentations as he sits on a
trunk reflecting on his fatal mistake
is as usual the hit of the play. With
out his partner or the "man who led
him astray," it would never And such
favor, *0 that, the combination is a
big winner.
In his revival this year John Cort
has given "The Ham Tree" a mag
nificent production and surrounded his
stars with a notable cast including Ed
ward Wade. Arthur Barry, Otto John
son, Edward S. Holden, Norman Wood
ward, Mildred Beverly, Hazel Follis,
Eddie Lew Kraner, Jack Bell, Ted
Holmes and Lulu Wells. —Adv.*
"Twin Beds"
There is a delicious touch of fem
inity in the retiring scene of "Twin
Beds" when dainty and charming
Margaret Boland prepares to woo
slumber. In a robe de nuit that makes
the feminine portion of the audience
gasp with envy, and her slender feet
shoved into red leather Spanish mules,
6he affrightedly explores the dark
oh asms under each twin bed, and to
her intense relief and the unqualified
enjoyment of the audience there is no
dreadful man there. With such little
touches of human nature that brings
'Twin Beds" home to all of us, wheth
er we have the misfortune to be
apartment house dwellers or not.
Selwyn & Company are sending
"Twin Beds" to the Majestic for a
return engagement next Friday after
noon and evening, with an exception
ally talented and finely balanced cast,
comprising Miss Boland, Roland B.
Lee, Marion Lord, August .\ramini,
Georgie Drew Mendum, Jane Seymour
and J. M. Byrnes.—Adv.*
Big Mnsical Comedy at Colonial
An audience that packed the popu
lar playhouse to the doors last evening
Mijoved "The Bachelor Dinner" at the
Colonial Theatre. This is a big musi
eal comedy act, the biggest in fact that
was ever presented at the Colonial.
There are thirteen people in the cast,
Including clever principals and a beau
ty chorus of well drilled girls who
would do justice to the front row in
any high priced musical show on the
road. The question uppermost in the
minds of last night's audience seemed
to be how the theatre could present
A Bald Head Only Indicates
that the scalp has been neglected. We
recommend that you use

Kills the germ that causes the hair to
fall out and will keep the scalp healthy.

act has everything that goes to make
a musical comedy act popular. It has
a good story, lots of good comedy,
pretty music and dances. The girls
have cerv pretty costumes which they
change with frequency. There arc
three other acts on the same bill, and
the management looks forward to doing
a record-breaking half week. —Adv. *
At the Eegent
Two big stars, Howard Estabrook
and Barbara Tennant, will make their
appearance at the Eegent theatre to
day in " M 'Lisa,'' produced froai the
story of Bret Harte. The production
will be presented ir live parts, made
up of dozens of beautiful and thrilling
scenes, and shown at an expense of
thousands of dollars. The play is a
Shubert feature and tells the story of
a young girl, Melissa Smith, whose
father committed suicide when his gold
claftu, Smith's Pocket, failed to produce
porperly. M "Lisa is cared for by rela

to school and falls in love with the
schoolmaster, Gray. A strange man se

the play is finally brought to a happy
ending To-morrow's attraction will
be a tour-reel playlet, "C. O. D.," in

BOW GERMANY WOULD VIEW
UNITED STATES-JAPAN WAR
Berlin, April 23, Via London, 12.48
P. M.—The "Post" in an editorial ar
ticle entitled, "The American Trou
bles," casts doubt upon the genuine
ness of the accident which caused the
grounding of the Japanese cruiser
Asama in Turtle bay, Lower Califor
nia.
The paper says there are two pos
sible explanations of this incident.
One is an effort to put pressure upon
Washington to relieve the situation at
Pekin, while the other is an attempt to
secure a naval base in Mexico. This
would touch America's sorest point,
the paper says, namely, the Monroe doc
trine. America must either give Ja
pan a free hand in China or demand
that Japan leave Mexico. This would
mean war.
Continuing, the paper says:
"Germany would view such a war
with mixed feelings. While we do not
desire a victory of the yellow race over
the white, nevertheless America has no
claim to the love or respect of the
Americans. We would be satisfied to
know that this country, which first be
came a state at an expenditure of Ger
man blood and German energy, should,
from its political condition of unsyma
thetic contentment, come to know the
bitter necessities of war."
Auto Kills Prostrato Man
Stroudsburg, April 23.—Warren

CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead of
Drugs
It takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient, instead
of resorting to the usual list of medi
cines.
Some truly scientific physicians recog
nize and treat conditions as they are
and should be treated. Here's an in
stance:
"Four years ago I was taken with
severe gastritis and nothing would stay
on my stomach, so that I was on the
verge of starvation.
"I heard of a doctor who had a sum
mer cottage near me —a speicalists from
N. Y., and, as a last hope, sent for him.
"After he examined me carefully he
advised me to try a small quantity of
Grape-Nuts at first, then aii my stomach
became strongor to eat more.
"I kept at it and gradually bfegan to
have color in my face, memory became
clear, where before everything seemed a
blank. My limbs got stronger and I
could walk. So I steadily recovered.
"Now after a year on Grape-Nuts I
weigh 153 lbs. My people were sur
prised at the way I grew fleshy and
strong on this food."

one appears from time to time. They

FULL CREW REPEALER
FKJHT SHIFTS TO SENATE
Both the friends and the enemies of
the full crow repealer bill, which passed
the House this week, arc keeping ta>bs
on the measure, which is now in the
Railroad Committee of the Senate, of
which Senator Endsley is the chair
man.
Senator Endsley said this morning
that the bill will receive due considera
tion by 'hia- committee early next week,
and it is probable that if a hearing is
asked by either side it will be granted.
He thinks, however, the Senate commit
tee is pretty well informed on the
measure, as its members sat with the
House Committee on Railroads when
the bill w»s given a public hearing,
aud were posted on all of its provisions.
In the event of the bill being re
ported out next Tuesday it may be
considered on final passage on Tuesday
of the following week.
The railroad trainmen have their
committee constantly on the alert and
will endeavor to kill the bill in the
Senate. Tho railroad companies are
just as watchful, their representatives
being in the Senate tvery day.
FOSS WINS ON STOCKS
Ex-Governor Said to Have Made More
Than $400,000
Boston, Mass., April 23.—Eugene
Noble Foss, three times Governor of
Massachusetts, long known as a shrewd
speculator, has been on the right side
of the recent phenomenal rising market
and is said to have cleaned up between
$400,000 and $500,000, according to
current reports in State street and po
litical circles.
Politicians see in his big winning
the reason why Mr. Foss has practical
ly decided to take another plunge in
the political arena, this time as a can
didate for the Republican- nomination
for Governor on tho prohibition issue.
When the ex-Governor is "flush" he
lias never hesitated to spend money in
politics for his own political benefit,
although he never gave very lavishly
to the Democratic campaign funds.
Mr. Foss said last night that all his
stock transactions are entirely private.
"The public is not interested in this
matter,'' he declared.
"Just As Good" As Duffy's
Does Not Exist
When one's health is in question, it makes no difference what
the dealer says, don't accept a substitute for
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
It is made and sold for medicinal, not beverage purposes. And
remember, the manufacturer who advertises an article of com
merce to-day does so in the knowledge that he has a superior
product to offer—he can afford to tell about it.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an absolutely pure tonic stimu
lant which should be f.i every home. You may easily tell the
genuine; the shape of the bottle is patented and is always the
same; look for the name The Duffy Malt Whiskey Company on
the glass ; look on the label and neck-strap for the celebrated
trade-mark of the "Old Chemist," and be sure seal is over the
cork. All this for your protection when
