Although the title is suggestive of mythology, the p'ay Itself Is a comedy of the briskest, most startling type, and even to the most casual theatergoer its delightful ly fantastic treatment merely enhances its charm. Thla piece relates the experiences of a faun or wood god. who forsakes bla native haunts of wilds and forests and William Kaveraham, Who Upeas la "The Kiaa," at Hellig The ater Tonight. streams for the super-cultivated and restrained aurroundlng3 ot modern so ciety. The distinguishing features of the ensuing story are a healthy op timism, a gay Joyousness in every phase of life, and a pointed wholesome ness that combine to make a delicious comedy surprise. One can readily im agine the humorous possibilities of suddenly introducing a fearless, dis cerning creature from another world into a sphere where nearly everything is restrained, and many clrcumstauces markedly wrong. Above all. Mr. Knoblauch's faun is a messenger of happiness, and he takes a primitive pleasure in spreading de light, banishing trouble and breeding Joy according to the strnlghtforward creed of nature's world. Few plays of recent years have been more thor oughly and legitimately amusing and at the same time contained so much that makes for mental stimulus. In his creation of this unique stage character Sir. Faversham has been credited with one of the comedy achievements ot .the generation, bringing- again Into conspicuous evidence the gift for comedy that was so hap pily manifested in his superb portrayal of Algy In "Lord and Lady Alg3"."

MRS. BAKER TELLS OF ACCL DENT TO CAUPATHIA. Vessel That Aided Titanic Snrvlvor Herself in Danger Only Two Years Ago. With the heroic rescue work which was done by the Carpathla in the Ti tanic disaster, Mrs. LaRelne Helen Baker, prominent economist and suffra gist of Spokane, who Is at the Mult nomah Hotel, tells of a disaster to that ship Itself two years aco several hun dred miles off the coast of Seotlanfl when the vessel was rescued by the steamer Carpanla, of the Allan line. "The heroic work which the Carpa thla did In the dreadful disaster to the Titanic recalls that it was only two years ago this Spring when the Car pathla itself sent out frantic cries for help, when both of her propellers were broken." said Mrs. Baker. "With a heavy passenger list, the Carp.nla. Just ready to enter the Glasgow harbor, heard the crle for help, and we turned back with the shores of Scotland al most in sight, and made out more than 300 miles .in a wild sea to rescue the passengers of the Carpathia. The Car pathla was reached after a day and a half and its passengers were frantic, some having been locked In thr ir state rooms and cabins. Tt took the Carpania when the sour bile, clogged up waste and poisonous matter have been gently but thoroughly moved on and out of your system, without nausea, griping or weakness. Tour head will be clear, complexion rosy, breath sweet, stomach regulated: no more constipation, gases, pains and aches. It is simply a matter of keeping your stomach, liver and bowels clean and regular. Then you will always be well always look and feel your best. But get the genuine the old reli able.

"The captain of the Carpathia. who was, I believe, the same captain who so heroically aided the Titanic wae the last to leave the boat. "While that was a. minor accident, compared with the terrible catastrophe of he Titanic, I can well Imagine the horror felt by the victims of the wreck as well as by the passengers on the rescuing ship. One has no conception of a panic at sea. A panic on land is as child play In comparison. Short rations, hair-raising fear, hope against fate, and an Insane excitement make an ac cident at sea an experience that will never be forgotten." Mrs. Baker Is a personal friend of William T. Stead, editor of the London Review of Reviews, v.-lio went down with the Titanic. Mrs. Paker had dined with Mr. Stead, the veteran militant editor, shortly before his departure for America early in February. "Mr. Stead was such a courageous man that I am quite sure that he is sending a written message to the world written and handed to some likely survivor, after he knew that the boat was golnc down, and that many of the NEW STRENGTH FOR OLD BACKS The greatest discomforts of old age are poor i":n"" ' stiff, achy joints and urinary ins Verv often these troubles come from a weakening of the kidneys. The kidneys have a heavy task dur ing a long life of filtering the blood and keeping the body free from the irritating effects of uric acid. Kidney weakness usually gets little attention and it is no wonder if the kidneys break down. And when the kidneys are sluggish and weaK, there is little comfort. Backache is likely to become a con stant trouble, lameness in the morn ing, pains when stooping or lifting, restlessness at night, too frequent and painful passages of the kidney secre tions, and persistent languor. Rheumatic pains, stiff Joints, dijszy spells and weakness of sight and hear ing are often due to the excess of uric acid in the blood.
