Vivian Prescott, a you up Philadelphia
society girl. The daring young
'driver created a sonBution at the
Vanderbilt cup races by taking a
part in the death dealing course disguised
as a mechanician and riding
'with .Nell Whalon.
Charles Rooae is a starter for tlio
graces and he will be assisted by H.

and 500.000 are expected to witness
pelled to make a minimum speed of
seventy-five* miles per hour for one
lap of'two and uae?lialf miles1 In thu

Unusual interest attaches Itself to
the men composing; the Mercer team.
Bragg and Wlahart driving racing
cars, not because the prise money has
any particular lure for them, but
the sport. They both began their
careers by driving big foreign cars,
which they owned themselves, and
with Ralph De Palmer these men
form one of the strongest aggregations
ever engaged to struggle for
motor supremacy.
Thjey are well known throughout
motordom, and each driver has beard
the cheering thousands on the
Speedway. Wlahart Is a familiar figure
hla hiw u?r?AHflg Bragg hag
driven many great races, and It was
he who was inadvertently the cause
of De Palmer's accident last season
at Milwaukee, which almost resulted
In the death of the latter pilot. He'

Fortified by two weeks of hard
new musical comedy "The Girl fn

tonight at s:ju n-ciocit. '
Everyone connected with the play ,
is enthusiastic and of the opinion
that this new play Is superior to the
Slumberland performances.
Miss Robena Carter who will take
the part of "Lunette" has a wonderfully
sweet ?soprano voice and her
songs in the play are sure to win
great applause. Miss Carter Is one
of -the promising sopranos of the

; Ben Taylor, as usual, has one of i
the leading parts in this "Pink!
Lady" show and Ben claims he will j
deliver the real goods tonight. Miss
Nina Rhodes will assume the part or
"Eunice," her interpretation being!
perfect of this difficult role and for
once we will see this young lady in
a funny character. Everyone knows
what a real commedienne Miss Nina
Is, to see her portray her talents in
this line will indeed be a treat.
The costumes worn at last night's
dress rehearsal were rare gems of
. Tha first act deptels
a stranded theatrical company holding
a dress rehearsal in the living
room of a country hotel. This company
have jumped their board bill at
tho last town, and the sheirff is af-x
ter them. Dolly, who is Miss Ada
Rhodes in the play, has many
strange experiences during the three
acts, and this young lady's ability to
sing, dance and act is well known to
our people.
Tha cast srn?all Miagtorf with
care, each one especially fitted for
the character they are to portray and
with Will Harding, t^aac Hughes,
Jsunes Fowle, Chas. Meekins, John
Cotton Tayloe, Harry Foote and a
chorus of the best looking girls and
boys in W&Bhtagton, surely "The
Girl In Pink" will be a success.

for a threenlay engagement with a
black face slnglug and talking act.
These artists wcro exceedingly clever
entertainers and were very graceful
in - ^beir movements. Their costumes
were among the best that has
ever appeared -on the Lyric stage.
However, these artists received very
little applause. Tholr act was very
refined and fully up to the standard,
apparently a tan act does not
go well with the Lyric andienre.
Today*8 program offers a change
in vaudeville, and a feature class of
motion pictures without extra addition
in price. The main feature being
a-two reel drama made in Ireland
by the Pat he players, who produced
"Romeo & Juliet" and considered to
be equally as good.

A Word to
"The Storekeeper"
The manufacturer who tries
to help you sell his goods after
he has induced you to
. "WK ap on hla ling deserves
your hearty co-operation.
But it Is up to you to decide
whether, the manufacutrer is
actually helping you, or whether
he only thinks he is.
If he is creating a desire for
his product' without creating
an actual demand on your
store for It, his help la of little
. Ml?tn . .
The one big: advantage of
newspaper advertising is that
it creates not only desire, but
actual demand. Most other
mediums stop at desire.
The best kind of advertising
that a manufacturer can
do for your .benefit is local
newspaper advertising. Tell
his salesmen so "next time theycome
around. Show them that
you know by experience the
value of newspaper advertising,
and that yon want all the
branded goods you handle
advertised in a way thht will
bring customers to your store
to ask fog them.
