THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, MARCH 21, 1908 6 I iff? Mil " ' The attraction at the Academy of Music Monday night will be Mr. George I). Sweet, and" his big company of popu lar favorites in the celebrated comedy drama. ' The Messenger Boy," with lieu trice Terry in the leading role of Kuxy, a typical type of the New York street waif of the day, whose wit and unconscious comedy, indomitable cour age and natural independence pleases and serves to furnish a realistic char acter in a play full of human interest, varied with thrilling sensations and embellished with music and high-class specialties. As a portrayer of the humorous side of life, Mr. Sweet has lew equals in "A Mesenger Boy." He gives us a set of characters so entirely different form those usually seen in comedies and has conceived situations that are so excruciatingly funny, that namely, that of Constance Pinckney. a spirited young southern girl whose father and brother are officers in Gen eral Lee's army. In this part Miss Emerson will have an opportunity to display her remarkable talents to their utmost. The climaxes being as thrilling as any ever devised. It is in the tense scenes that Miss Emerson is seen at ner best tor sue posseses iu.,a marked degree the power of showing repressed emotion without "tearing passion to tatters." In the love scenes two, she excels, transmitting to them that semmlance of reality without which they frequently prove farcial. The story of the play, in brief, con cerns the efforts of the heroine to as sist her father and brother by carry ing despatches from one branch of the Confederate Army to the other. She HP JT ' ' ' - Si V 1 MARY EMERSON IN "ON PAROLE." although the play has a strong n-ot and is billed as a e.unedy drama, ii con tains mere genuine comedy and elicits more hearty laughters than the fun niest of farce comedies. 'On Parole." One of the emphatic hiis of last seal-urn's New York successes was Louis Evan Hhipman's military romance of the south. 'On Parole," which her man angers have secured for their talented young star, Miss Mary Emerson, who will appear at the Academy of Music Saturday matinee and night. Miss Em erson has long been identified with cos tume plays, having been seen here in recent years in "His Majesty and the Maid" and Will o' the Wisp." In '"On Parole" she will have a part exactly suited to her style and temperament, is : urprised in this dangerous work by young Major Dale of the Union r"or;cs who places her on parole. Love bet veen the two young people ensues but by an unfortunate accident the Major is captured by the confederates anil everything points to his betrayal by the girl he adores, she however be ing guiltless of the deed. Many com plHutions arise culminating with a thrilling scene at the end of the third , act. The fourth act straightens out the plot and all ends happily. The : supposing company includes the. fol lowing well known players: Al Phii- jlips. John Sturgeon. Robert Thorne, ; Wilson Reynolds, William Burdette. i Nellie Marck, Anne Page and Marion JWillard.

I Charlotte theater-goers expected the iShuberts' attraction "The Blue Moon" to he fully up to the standard of their former appearances in this city, and ;many were disappointed last night. Mr. I James T. Powers, as "Private Charles ! Taylor," acting bandmaster of the roy : al iluzzervernugger native band, had I excellent support in Miss Clara Palm er, as "Millicent Leroy, ' a maid, but Hie company was weak. The chorus lacked vigor, snap and training. It was scarcely ever together and with several cracked voices that were pitch ed higher than the rest the selections generally were unpleasant to the ear.

Each of these is constantly supplying to this tissnt or lining, blood to nourish and strengthen it and keep the sj-stem healthy. When the blood becomes infected with catarrhal matter it is not able to fur nish the required amount of healthful properties, but feeds the parts with impurities which disease the membranes and tissues so that they become irritated and inflamed, and Catarrh, with all its disagreeable and dangerous symptoms, is established in the system. There is a constant ringing in the ears, a thin, watery discharge from the nostrils, the breath has an offensive odor, slight fever often accompanies the disease, and gradually the entire health becomes affected and the system tipset and deranged. In its earlier stages, when Catarrh is confined to the nose and throat, sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., are soothing and in a way beneficial, because they are cleanly and usually antiseptic, but such treatment has no curative effect, because it does not reach the blood. To cure Catarrh the blood must be pur ified, and this is just what S. S. S does. It goes down into the circulation and attacks the disease at its foundation ; it removes the cause and makes the blood pure and healthy. Then the blood vessels are filled with fresh, reinvigorated blood, which is carried to all the mucous surfaces and linings, the inflam- , mation and irritation are corrected, the symp toms all disappear, the health is improved and Catarrh i3 permanently cured.
