MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 20, 1010. h.; M THE CITY" 10 BE SEEN TOHIGHT Play In Which Clyde Fitch "Came Back" Is Offering Tonight at the Hcdford Is Gripping Drama Great Second Act. "Tho City," Clyde Fltch'e great drama, will bo seen nt tho Medford tonight and no doubt will prove a groat attraction. "Tho Cly" Is tho play with which Clydo Fitch "camo back." After turning out "Nathan Halo" and "Barbara Frlotchlo" and one or two other playa with body and sentiment, Fitch degenerated Into that long ser ies of bright and chatty, but rapid comedies of manners with which his name Is most often linked. So tho critics, dear amiable creatures as they arc, all told lFtch that It was beyond his ability to write a play with any real emotions or any real blood In It. Fitch took up tho defl and write "Tho City." Tho emotion and tho red blood Is there; some folks may think In oven too generous a meas ure. It is not a play that children should witness. It gets too uncom fortable close to topics that aro not discussed In mixed assemblages. There Is no one obvious moral. Rath- Eagle Point Eaglets Uy A. 0.

Its psy chology Is deep; it Is elaborate with emotion, with genuine human nature and with sympathy. Second Act Great. What makes the play grip Its au ditors so Is Its great second act. It is all action, and the best of action; thoro ia thrill upon thrill; events pile upon one another with bewildering rapidity, and by tho time the curtain goes down tho audience Is literally in a cold perspiration, gripping its seats and gritting its teeth to keep from crying aloud. The act is 40 minutes of masterful melodrama, and when it Is over tho actors and auditors alike aro nervo frazzled and limp.

Boston pronounced tho lino blasphe mous and c nsored out.

As I grew older, my hair com menced to come out, Just a little at first, but gradually more and more, and then began to turn gray. 1 was Induced by the many good reports I had heard of Wycth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy to try a bottle. My hair was quite thin and gray when I began using Sage and Sulphur, and you can imagine my satis faction when I found that it was fast coming back to its natural condition, being thicker, darker and more glossy than it had been for a long time. I continued to use Sage and Sulphur, and my hair is now as heavy, dark and smooth as when I was a girl of sixteen. It is now four years since I commenced using Sage and Sulphur, and my hair is still in splendid condition.
