Annie H m It dwell A Co. It it "Mutt A Jeff iri a" New Guise". . After to seasons of Veritable triumph, Gus Hill comes back for a third season With This perennial suc cess, "Mutt and Jeff" in an entire new dress. "In Panama" is the title of the story that is to form a back ground for Hud Fisher's inimitablel characters, which easilyl assume the credit "f the greatest and most dur able succt?s o fthe cartoon world. The new production is an innovation of play ehraftman's work, embodying about all the real meat of standard amusements. The thrill of ' the melodrama, the side splitting situa tions of the farce comedy, the extrav agance and tinseled brilliancy of travesty and the' harmonious art of musical comedy, not forgetting a scenic production, electrically em bellished, including some startling mechanical effects that over-shadow all previous attempts at realism. Con trary to the penerall Idea of produc ing managers to frame up their of fering for the second and third year cheaply, and "clean up," speaking in the parlance of the profession; Mr. Hill has spent more money and great er energy in this season's "Mutt & Jeff," than on cither Of the previous productions, so great is his faith in the lasting qualities of the cartoon play. In this season's entertainment, there isn't a thing left but "Mutt and Jeft." The story, music, lyrics, scen ery and electrical effects are all new. gome startling mechanical transfor mations are shown with a genuine thrill. Mr. Hill has selected a cast Superior in every respect to any he has yet been able to offer. All in lal "Mutt & Jeff" .will surely live up to the title of the one great big hit of the show world and "it will go some." It comes to' the Auditorium, matinee and night on next Tuesday, October 14. Secure seats in advance is an old cry, but in this case it is very neces sary a "Mutt & Jeft" always play to over flowing houses. Prices for the night performance are 50 cents, 75 cents and $1. The matinee prices are BO cents, 75 cents and 25 cents for children-. Seats are now selling at Allison's for both performances. Annie Russell's Old English Comedy Company. One of the most difficult tasks of A CLERGYfllAN'S STORY Came Near Losing His Life-How He Escaped Jhe following VT-& Fum letter was re ceived by The Peruna Co, from Rev. Q. "W. Rob .. crts, R. R. 2, Box S7, Hartsell, Ala bama, under date of April 2, 1S04, which Is exactly nine years ago. He says: "l take pleasure in In forming you of what your Pe runs, has done. REV. C W. ROBEHTS. for me after R.R.2.Bw2T. three years of HrtU, Aim. suffering. I had tried the treatment of several doctors, also home rem edies but they failed and all hope had gone. My friends, like myself, thought I was In the last stages of consumption. "My daughter brought me a bottle of Peruna and plead with me to try it. I had got so weak I had lost my voice, and I thought It no use. That was In May, 1902. I began to take it, according to directions. I wrote to you, and you gave me your kind advice. . . . . "I soon felt better, my cough began to give way, and the expectoration lessened. I nave taken fourteen bot tles. . I feel well, eat hearty, eleep oundly, weigh as, much as t ever did, do considerable work on my farm, and attend : to my other business. My friends seem astonished at my re covery. : "I wish to thank you for your kind advice and the books you have sent me. I shall ever praise your medicine and hope that you may -enjoy a long life." . It will be observed that Rev. Rob erta waited two years after he began to use Peruna, before he wrote the above letter to The Peruna Co. So that hia apparent recovery could not possibly have been temporary relief. In a later letter to The Peruna Co., dated September 22, 19061 Rev. Rob erts says: "I am a great friend of Peruna, By the use of Dr. Hartman's advice I am here to-day, able to be with my family and attend to my business." . We quote from another letter, dated December 10, 19C6: 1 praise Peruna to all the etch. The people know my case, and they praise it also." In a letter dated November 12, 1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: "Pe runa gave me back my life ten year affo. All hiy acquaintances know that. I am certainly thankful to you for your kindness." f In a later letter, dated January lit 1(10, ha says: "1 shall ever In the future, as lti the -past, be ready to speak In praise of Peruna to all suf ferers. . 1 believe my miraculous cure has been the means of many others 1 being cured In this county." . From a letter of September 8, 1911, we quote a few words: "I am still among the living. As to Peruna,- I do not feel that I have words' to el press the faith I have In Its merits. I feel that Peruna has been the means, through the kind providence of God, Of prolonging my life tot more than ten years." We quote a still later letter, October 81, 1912. . He says: "I took a severe, cold three weeks ago. I at once sent for Peruna. Hav? been taking It two weeks. I am now better. I consider that Peruna has carried me over a dozen years of life. I always stand ready to answer any question In ref erence to Peruna." We quote from his last letter, dated January 1, 1913: "Dear Friends: I wish this bright New Years to ex press my thanks to you for your kindness. Trusting that you may have a successful and happy year, and that your medicine may prove a blessing to many as. It has to me, I am yours as ever, O. W. Roberts, Hartsell, Alabama, R. F. D. 2, Box 27,"': . . . . It Is not necessary for us to add any words to this story. The elo quence and pathos of these letters are more convincing than arguments or affidavits. Who can doubt the clergyman's story? Who can doubt that Peruna saved hia life? Every home should be provided wlth the last edition df the "Ills of Life," sent free by the Peruna Co, Columbus, Ohio. all had that knld. of training; and it is said that tty succeed in produc ing the required ensemble effects. There -is a grpat deal of robust fun In these olid comedies, but there is also the dominating note of refine ment and old-time elegance which is brought out both by the personality and the distinctive schooling of. the years; and Miss Henrietta Ooodwin, an English ingenue of distinction. Miss Russell's own charming person ality and delicate art fit her rdmlf ably for the role she plays in the Goldsmith comedy. The ticket sale will . open' next Monday at Allison's.
