I coughed night and day, but iter taking the third bottle of the Discovery' the cough began to cease and I lay down for the first night's sleep in six weeks. I then wrote to Dr. Fierce and took specially prepared medicines for about three months.

Alma Reubens in "Diane of the Green Van" will be the attraction at the Muse today and tomorrow. The picture tells of a rich girl who was an heiress, but didn't care much about it. She came close to being a royal princess, but she didn't know about that. Three men sought her, one for her riches, one for the throne and the other -because he loved her. It took cave man tactics to win her, she was won that way and liked it. This, and more, happened to a girl who grew bored with society and money and ran away in a green van to find contentment. The picture is from the $10,000 prize story, "Diane of the Green Van," and it is the first produced by Alma Reubens' own company. Marguerite Clark, appearing as Sylvia, in "Three Men and a Girl" at the Rialto today and the re mainder of this week, has a charm ing sort of real Clark story in which three men, respectively designated by Sylvia-as the "big, middle-size and little bear," flee to the country to escape the society of women. Then comes Sylvia, who frustrates her marriage to an old man by run ning away; and her introduction into their society proves them to be shams as far as hating women is concerned. All fall in love with her, but she accepted only one of them, the "little beac," as she called him, and both are happy.

There will be a matinee this afternoon. Chin Chin bids fair to become the Uncle Tom's Cabin of the musical comedy world more popular each year and losing none of its glamor through season in, season out pre sentation.
