sparkling dialogue nf the original, be

of unmistakably American origin.
Mr. Harris has surrounded the star

Hdmnnd Hreese, who assumed the role
of the jealous husliand at extremely
short notice. Next to Miss Claire's his

U has been a long time since a Xew

more genuinely amusing than Barry
Baxter's moment of inebriety, l'erhaps
the sight of what was supposed to be

tears to the eyes of a sophisticated
audience, but it only served to stimu
late waves of hilarious laughter. I-.'ven
his disrobing scene was robbed of any
suggestiveness, for. goodness knows,

complaisant father looked and acted
his part in perfection.
The curtain rose promptly at half

unstinted thanks. The three scenes

Henry W. S&vago asks
'WHKItE ARE OUt YOUNG AMER
ICAN 81NGKRS?"
I was somewhat amused by a para
graph I received from the press pub
licity bureau of the Henry W. Savagi
offices, asking the question: "Where
are our young American singers?" The
department must have overlooked the
fact that we have one producing man
ager of musical productions who has
been encouraging the American sing
ers. I refer to Ralph Dunbar, who re
cently held a scaivco In our midst and
picked a number of promising voices
for his next season Robin Hood Cum
Win?.
"The trouble with the avcrago pro
ducer of cither musical .of dramatic
shows Is that he hasn't the courage o
his convictions. He may hoar a slug

ambillous young person, anxious to
give to the world his or her best en

public will contribute to the box offlo

Lundguist Says His Only Re
gret About Tanlac Is He
Did Not Get Is Sooner.
The big thrill of David Belasco's play, "The Heart of Maryland,"
lias been more than duplicated In the Vitagraph big special production
of the drama, In which Catherine Calvert heads an all-star cast For
this scene a real church and bell were used, aiyl the heroine swung over
the boustops facing real danger in order that the spectacular thrill
might bo produced.
"The only regret I have about Tan- !
lap is that I did not get it sooner, lor it
mainly put me in fine shape in a very
short time." said John R. Lundguict,
East Twenty-third Street, North1
Portland, Ore.
"My trouble started with the Influ
enza, and ever since I had It, until
Tanlac straightened me out, I was in
I a run-down and miserable condition. I
ate hardly enough to keep a bird alive,
and even the small amount I did eat
used to cause me hours of suffering
afterwards.
"Tanlac d'd for me what all the
other medicines failed to do and I am
strong for it. It toned up my system
gave me new life and energy, and al
though I eat anything I want now I
never have a sign of indigestion. Tan
lac is certainly In a class by itself."
Tanlac is sold in Pendleton by
Thompsons Drug Store and fey lead

In all tho hoteis and restaurants a
