UNEXPECTED SCENE AND ORPHEUM
PLAYLET PLEASE FIRST-NIGHTERS
FROM THE NEW TORK WORLD. APRIL 10, '93.
ATE FRYING PAN FULL OF
BACON EVERY EVENING
Feat Performed By Guides Impossible
For New Yorkers Stxya Cooper.
The headquarters of L. T. Cooper, the
young man who claims that the stom
achs of many Americans are degenerate,
has presented a scene of unusual activ
ity for tho past few days.
Cooper with his assistants Is meeting
the public at rr'sent in New York. The
success he has had in other cities seems
to have followed him here, for an aston
ishing number of people. ar calling to
have his theory and medicines explained
to them. , , . , ,
nv.,.,.aiv oftornnnn wlien Interviewed.
rooper said: "I am often asked if my
medicine is good for kidney trouble, or
liver complaint, or rheumatism, or a
dozen other- diseases too numerous to
mention. These are hard questions to
answer. Frankly, ray treatment Is for
the stomach, and for rhe sfomach alone,
but If the function of digestion is be
ing properly performed very few people
can oe sick. . . m .B- ,
'The stomach Is the seat of life. The
entire system depends upon its action.
Why are there so many half-sick people
today? It is because the stoma6h of a
man or woman who lives a shut-up life
day after day. taking little or no exer
cise in the fresh air, cannot digest the
amount of food that is forced upon tt.
It gradually grows weaker under these
circumstances, and nervousness, kidney
trouble, rheumatism, etc.. Is the result.
"I am successful with my treatment
because the medlcl.he cleans out the
food tracts that have become clogged,
gets the digestive organs regulated and
Jives nature a chance. Give nature a
chance, that's the secret of health.
"Last year I was on a fishing trip In
Northern Minnesota. I had two guides
spent their lives In the woods
who had
trapping, hunting and fishing. When
night came these men wauld eat a fry
ing pan full of bacon, pouring the
greas over great hunks of a soggy sort
of bread. The sight of these, slabs of
bacon would sicken most New Yorkers,
but these men munched It down with
a relish and then rolled up In a blanket
and slept like logs. They never knew
they had a stomach, so perfectly did the
fastrlc juices perform their function,
askect them if they were ever sick.
They both laughml at the Idea. 'Never
had a minute's sickness,' they said.
"Modern conditions make it Impos
sible for people to live as these men
live, but If they get their digestions in
shnpe there will be mighty little rheu
matism or kidney trouble or liver com
plaint. I do not believe in taking medi
cine unless it Is necessary, but if a man
o woman is suffering with what Is
called 'a general run-down condition,'
and what I call ' played-out stomach,'
will take Cooper's New Discovery for
six weeks, I can assure them they will
need no more medicine for many months
to come.
" 'The proof of the pudding Is In the
eating.' 1 have been in New York only
two weeks. Today I have had a doien
people call and thank me for my 'won
derful medicine.' as they call it. These
are only the first. Such people will call
by hundreds before I leave.
Cooper's Xew Discovery Is now. on
sale at leading drug stores through
out the United States. It has made
a remarkable record. Ask
druggist (or it.

The curtain goes up In one of the
acts at the Orpheum this week and
shows the stage without settings, car
penters at work, stage hands loafing
among the "props" and wings. For a
second the audience fears that the
stage manager has forgotten himself.
Then an old man hobbles out of a
dressing room door and approaches the
footlights, remonstrating with the stage
hands over the terrible noise the work
man is making. It is the beginning of
a little sketch called "The Opera
Singer," in which Homer Llnd appears
and sings several songs in a wonderful
baritone voice. '
Llnd has a David Warfleld walk,
wears a David Warfield cape and is
looking for his long lost daughter. Just
like the "Music Master." Incidentally,
he gets several opportunities to. use his
voice In songs in which Mr. Llnd made
a decided hit. There are laughs, many
of them, and little Incidents of human
interest throughout the sketch. Imi
tations are sometimes better than the
original. You should see and hear Llnd
before vou pass your opinion.
"Superstition," a playlet. In wWTch
a fortune teller, a politician and a
newspaper reporter apear. was received
with enthustasm last night. Charles W.
Bowser as Big Jim Kingston, the polV
tician. Is overheard to make certain re
mnrks to Kloteau, an astrologer (Miss
Rilith Hlnkle). which might be used
against him in the paper for which the
reporter worKS i ne nwsimper
shows his hand, ininKing
great story.
"Telephone
he
man
has a
your managing editor,'
Big Jim says, "and tell him to raise
your salary. You are a good man."
The reporter asks tho politician what
he has to do with the Morning Scream.
"Do with It?" replies the politician
"Why, I bought the paper this morn
ing.
There isn't a dull turn at the Or
pheum this week. Arthur Lo. Vine and
Edmund Leonard put on an automobile
horse play act in which the chauffeur
and the tramp do a little bit of every
thing. The tramp Juggles cigars and
matches and hats the chauffeur tries
to repair the machine. Explosions and
other things follow.
Miss Sue Smith, "The American
Girl." sings German, Italian and good
United States songs and makes a hit
She annealed to the gallery particularly
because she asked the boys up there to
help her In whistling songs. And the
boys did their part, you may depend on
It.
Miss La Petite Mignnn, about as hlg
as a minute and as lively as a ilee,
sings Cohan songs, mimics Anna Held
and Just gets the audience going on ac
count of hec sprightllness.
Snyder and Buckley, musical come
dians, Introduce a lot of new stunts,
including antics with two stuffed cats,
who have eyes and yells Just like live
eats at night.
George Hermann and Park Byers
have what Is called "The Clown's
Dream." which gives Mr. Hermann an
oportunlty to do a skeleton dance and
some contortions that had the big first
night audience wondering Imw he ever
lives to do It more tnan mice, nyors,

RECOVERS
The recovery Is reported of Mr. Z.
Lawton. of 264 Fifth avenue, San" Fran
cisco. The case Is especially Interest
ing, due to the fact that the books de
clare chronic Bright's Disease Incurable?
and rive city pnyslclans had passed on
the case and diagnosed It as Bright's
Disease. That it was in the chronic
stage may be known from the fact ttuit
It was of several years' standing.
The usual symptoms found In extreme
cases were reported excessive dropsy,
enlarged heart and towards the last the
patient could onlv sleep sitting up. For
six weevs ne siept in a cnair. his
weight dropped to 120 pounds.
Mr. Lawton had a cousin. Mrs. W. E.
Hoover of Auburn, Cal., who also had
an advanced case of Bright's. She had
been tapped three times when she heard
of Fulton's Renal Compound, sent for It
and made a fine recovery. This Interest
ed Lawton in th treatment and resulted
In his recovery also. While he does not
consider It yet complete the dropsy has
ben eliminated and he nas regained his
lost weight and has been back! to busi
ness for some tlm.-
He la a Mason, a member or Excelsior
lodge, and many members will recollect
his serious predicament and that thev
thought , they would be called upon to
pass him over.
