The
upsets of
'All children are subject to little
upsets. They come at unexpected
times. They seem twice as serious
in the dead of night. But there’s
one form of comfort on which a
mother can always rely; good old
Castoria. This pure vegetable
preparation can’t harm the tiniest
infant. Yet mild as it is, it soothes
a restless, fretful baby like nothing
else. Its quick relief soon sees the
youngster comfortable once more,
back to sleep. Even an attack of
colic, cr diarrhea, yields to the
soothing influence of Castoria.
Keep Castoria in mind, and keep
a bottle in the house—always.
Give a few drops to any child
whose tongue is coated, or whose
breath is bad. Continue with
Castoria until the child is grown I
Hvjtry drugstore has Castoria; the
genuine has Chas. H. Fletcher’s
signature on the wrapper.

agreement recorded at the Philadel

Three Mothers Agree
When mother is tired, nervous or ill the
whole home is upset. For her family’s sake,
every mother wants to be well and strong.
These three women tell how Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound helps them
to care for their families.
Mrs. H. Dolhonde,
6318 York St.,
New Orleans, Louisiana
“Before my last baby was
born, I started taking Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. I got such good results
that I named her Catherine
Lydia. I have six older chil
dren and five grandchildren,
too. I am now taking the
Vegetable Compound again
because of my age. I eat and
sleep better and l do all my
housework, and my washing.
I will do my best to answer
letters."
Mrs. Harold Goodnow
36 Cane St.,
Fitchburg, Massachusetts
“I cannot praise your medi
cine enough. After my baby
came I was rundown. 1 had to
go to bed often through the
day. I took three bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound and I felt like a
different woman. If any mother
has those tired feelings I advise
her to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.’’
Mrs. Lloyd R. Biasing,
115 So. Ohio St.,
Anaheim, California
“After my baby came I was
so nervous and tired that I felt
miserable. One day a booklet
was left at our door and after
reading it I decided to try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. I am now on my fourth
bottle and I feel much stronger.
It has helped me in every way
and I feel sure that other
women in rundown condition
will pick up if they will only
take a few bottles."

In New York
Fred Stone Has Forgotten AH About
Ilia Broken Bones—He's An In
teresting Man. and Here are
Some Facts on Him
New York-Ringsiding with seme
of our notables. ... As most every
one knows by this time. Fred Stone
is back in the lap of his adoring
Broadway public. Small sign of his
famous airplane crack-up remains.
And so, surrounded by his entire
family of pebbles, a few close-up
items concerning this nationally fa
vored clown can be jotted down:
He still goes up to his Connecti
cut farm on weekends, and de
mands his beloved raisin pie.
His taste in reading runs to west
ern stories. Rex Beach northwest
tales and thrillers with cowboy flnv
or. For, after all, he came out of
Colorado. And if you've forgotten
his chapter in a colorful life, re
call that Fred's first, job was that
of a bootblack when boots were
boots and not pumps or oxfords.
The reward, in spite of the high
boot styles of the time, was 5
cents, which was a lot of money.
A traveling wagon show caught
'.:ls eye, and he was off and away
with it. The wagon show people
thought he was a mean foot shuffler
and he rot along very well, thank
you. Dr ?ting through the west, he
found himself in Cheyenne and
took to broncho riding, vacationing
with the wild west sand the round
ups.
Thus he finally arrived in the
theater, joining a stock company in
Oalveston. Hence back to the
traveling shows, joining up with a
medicine show, a minstrel outfit
and finally a vaudeville outfit. And
so, gradually, into the theater.
• • *
He still likes to ride and may
take another crack at polo. Or
again, he may not, depending on
the condition of his broken bones.
He’d wear a golf suit all the time,
if he had his way about it. Limits
himself to two cigars a day, except
on special occasions, such as at
tending a banquet or a family din
ner.
Admits he likes to sleep and finds
Sunday afternoons offer a swell op
portunity for relaxing.
Amityville is his favorite town,
since it is filled with family asso
ciations. Dorothy, for instance,
was born there. When in New York,
he makes his residence at Forest
Hills, which Is handv to Freeport,
where the “old folks" live.
Has never forgotten how to shoot
and may be caught at time practic
ing up in the galleries of Broadway.
Because his presence is generally
discovered and a crowd gathers,
he goes to the more obscure shoot
ing emporiums.
Is one of the few Broadway stars
who doesn’t cany a cane and wear
spats. And never did.
Has a terrific yen for parlor
tricks, which he generally winds
up by exhibiting at his perform
ances. Handerchief tricks, particu
larly those in which a kerchief dis
appears up a sleeve, or something,
are his favorites. Rope tricks are
"right up his alley.”
He still carries his pilot's license
and is more than passingly proud
of It. He's never forgotten the rail
road men who pulled what was left
of him out from under the wreck of
the plane and carried him seven
mlle6 to a hospital. Because he knew
what it was to shine shoes, he al
ways gives bootblacks a neat tip. He
likes to go around in golf knickers,
and if he had his way he’d adopt
them as the national costume.
Once he was asked what he con
sidered the funniest story he had
ever heard. . . . “If I could re
member it, I’d use it in my show,”
was his answer.
Does he like the receptions of the
Broadway crowds? Dun’t esk!
New York—Ringsiding with our
celebrities. . . .Introducing today,
Marc Connelly! As though he need
ed K. ,
Overnight Connelly has become
the ranking playwright of Broad
way, thanks to “Green Pastures,
hailed from Harlem to Avenue A as
the play of plays fills year.
Last heard of in a big way five
years ago, when he wrote “The
Beggar on Horseback,” collaborat
ing: in those days with George
Kautman, not such a bad show con
structor himself.
One of Connelly’s weaknesses has
remained a desire to keep his nose
close to the old newspaper grind
stone, since he was a reporter of no
small caliber. So zestful has he been
to writ? pieces for the papers that
an old desk he once used is kept
for him. He arrives as faithfully as
though he had not become an im
portant personage. He is allowed to
scribble a column of theatrical gos
sip each week that he feels like
writing it, which is practically every
Sunday.
When the collaboration arrange
ment with Kaufman blew up. it
looked for a time as though Con
nelly might find it a bit difficult to
go alone. Kaufman turned in sev
eral hits all by himself but Con
nelly tried twice and both fell short
of the bis box-office mark. The vil
lage pessimists began to Jabber that
he couldn’t work without a prep.
Then Rollin Kirby, the artist, in
froduced him to Roark Bradford's
book. “Old Man Adam and His Chil
lun." The notion that this would
be a g-and old play would not leave
Connelly. For more than a year
he had be:n working on it.
Finally he went to New’ Orleans
to meet Eradford and visit the tit
le negro churches thereabouts. He
found himself In a church where
white men were net wanted, but
where he was accepted as a guest
because of Bradford's introduction.
Both writers dropped a dollar bill
;n th? collecTon box. thus swelling
”ne evening’s income so materially
that a sperial benediction was pro
nounced by th° darky parson and
^hc two “notable guests” wer?
asked to address the congregation.

crowd called loudly for the author
It s ems that in hta collaborating
days. Connelly had made a pact
with Kaufman that If either ever
responded to a curtain call ihe oth
er coutd take a pot shot at him
from Row A, And Kaufman was in
Row A. He finally was carried on
stage.
During the progress of the show
Connelly behaved like a couple oi
Alpine climbers. Realizing that the
play ran a bit too long he was “all
over the house'’ seeing how the
various scenes looked from various
angles. He is said to have run up
and down stairs 30 times a perform
ance for three nights.

New York—If It isn’t too early 01
too late to engage in prophesies, my
guess Is that you’ll see Marcus Hei
inan. one time head of the Or
phpum Circuit, carrying out the very
elaborate theater plans that A, L
Erlangcr had made Just before his
death.
I am told that a giant produc
ing syndicate had just about beer
formed to handle the plays of the
new and young producers. Recog
nizing the value of talking picture
and radio rights, a special depart
ment had been planned to handle
the screen negotiations once the
dramas had been nationally ad
vertised by sending them on the
pounds of the Erlunger theaters.
A Philadelphia theater had re
cently been acquired, with this
elaborate program in mind, and
six more Manhattan theaters were
being negotiated for when the
"lone wolf’ of the entertainment
world was stricken.

Incidentally, since penning a sort
of obituary a few days ago. a tor
rent of anecdote has come down
upon my desk.
The more amusing chanters have
to do with the theatrically htstorlc
production of "Ben Hur.” As the old
timers will remember, this Biblical
drama ran, and ran and ran. Yet,
within a day of its production. Er
langer figured that he was going
to take a tremendous loss. A few
weeks before It went on. he tried
to stop it. Soothsayers of the
theater pleaded with him that U
couldn’t possibly catch on. Inves
tigation showed that the costumes
and scenery makers had already
gone so far that there was no
stopping.
One story goes that one of the
extras appeared in Erlanger’s
office on day to complain that he
was tired of appearing In “Ben
Hur.”
"I don’t recall having heard ot
you. How long have you been
with the show?” asked the pro
ducer.
“No wonder you don’t. I’ve
been in it seven years now. And
I’ve been the guy under the can
vas who made the ocean wave. I
started as a school kid. and Fm
grown up now. It seems to me I
should be promoted . . . ought
to be allowed to lead a horse on
the stage or carry a spear, or do
something that would be seen by
the audience.” complained the
visitors. “You know. I started out
to be an actor and I’d like to
think I was advancing in the pro
fession.”

sociated with George Tyler in the
presentation of several revivals, as
well as new comedies. The return of
William Gillette, in “Sherlock
Holmes,’’ was one of the revivals.
So was Mrs. Fiske's appearance in
"The Rivals.”
At any rate, these two theatrical
figures got together something like
40 years ago. According to Tyler’s
story, he thought it would be a swell
idea to give an open air production
of “As You Like It” in Asbury Park
Unfortunately Tyler had but lit
tle money. And even with Robert
Mantell heading the cast, the pro
ceeds were insufficient to pay off
the all-star cast.
One of the actors, by the way
was William Muldoon, who later
became famous as an athletic
trainer, and even in those days
was quite a wrestler and fighter
When Tyler turned the cast loose
at half pav, the angered Muldoon
got on his trail. Tyler went into
hiding. Sneaking out one day, he
appeared at the Klaw and Er
langer booking offices, his money
gene and his ambition trimmed
Seemingly he was a failure. But
even as the office attaches were
twitting him about his “open air’
show', Erlanger tossed a fat op
portunity his way — an oppor
tunity that all the kidders were
after.
“Because,” said Erlanger. “1
like men who try big things
While the rest of these fellows
sit around and draw salaries, you
stepped o*t and really tried some
thing.”

Bride Tells Her Secret
“POR a young bride of twenty
Jl one to lose her vitality and pep
is disastrous, almost a sacrilege,”
says Mrs. George E. Pillow, of
Franklin, Va. “That, however," she
continues, "is just what I did."
"I had only been married a few
months to an athletic husband, who
went everywhere and did every
thing. I tried to keep up with his
pace, and simply collapsed under the
strain. I never was really ill; just
sallow-skinned, depressed, and life
less. Swimming, dancing, golf, I just
couldn’t face them. When I began to
lose my clear complexion, I waa
desperate.
“Then one day a girl friend came
to pay me a visit. In the bottom of
her little bag of clothes lay a crystal
clear bottle—Nujol! A short wo
man-to-woman talk a telephone
call to a neighboring drug store— and
my future happiness was settled.
“That was a year ago. Now I too
am never without Nujol, which has
brightened and cleansed my body
like a cake of pure soap. I eat, sleep,
swim, and hike with the enthusiasm
of a child. My complexion is all it
used to be—and best of all—I am
my husband’s little pal again."
The wonderful thing about crystal
clear Nujol ia that it in not a medi

necessary to call the fire department
to evict It. Violent fiutterlngs of his
wings and a barrage of bird language
attracted neighbors, for its tail was
frozen to the woodwork. The fire de
partment sent a laddbr to the scene
and freed the bird with the loss of a
few tall feathers.
