"His Brother's Keep- V.:r!$ or" frnm his nwn nen. and in which flil he, will be seen at the Academy mat- N! cf;t mee ana nignt, on w euueaurtj, " nary 24, if many of the critics of the 'kX larger cities visited by the organiza tion are to be believed. Tiio tVIqv k in four acts, with a! - powerful theme for its foundation, and is said to be most skillfully han dled by both the author and the pre senting company. Its characters are drawn true to life, and the lesson it teaches while driven home as though hy barbed darts, is told in an inter esting manner, so that one feels that he has been amused instead of ser monized. In brief the plot deals with a doc tor who rather than stray from the path "which his high ideals of honor and ethics have led him in, to save the family name, marries his adopted sister, whom his younger brother has made love to, betrayed and . deserted te marry his employer's daughter; later the big brother who has never experienced any romance in his life, he being, as he thinks, past that stage, falls in love with another wom an, but is still too much of a gentle man to leave the girl or apply to the divorce courts, a promise she exacted from him before allowing him to make the sacrifice. In unravelling the story ' many intense arid sympa thetic moments are experienced, at the same time there are several of its characters whose humor lends much to lighten the more tragic pe riods. Mr. Lyle D. Andrews, who presents Mr. Edeson. has given the play an elaborate dress, and offers one of the best supporting companies seen in the modern drama this season, among whom may be found the Messrs. Hallet Bosworth, Wilfred Lytell, Henry Hamill, K. Mattus and the Misses DeWolfe Newcombe, Ada C. Neviell, Helen Barnes, Mrs. L.yteii and others. dance and foolishness act, later to be capped by Master Wayland, in his im itation of Charlie v Chaplin and song and dance. The last event, a won derfully realistic scenic and mechani cal electrical bathing , scene at At lantic City as copied from the New York. Hippodrome show, was indeed a wonderful illusion, with the pretty maidens, disporting themselves in the waves. This really wonderful show goes on for the last time tonight, a brand ne wshow being presented tomorrow matinee. ROYAL'S SHOW A BIG ONE. Lew Jac Williams and his all-star aggregation of Yankee Doodle Girls and Comedy Players, put on one of the very best shows of the entire season at the Royal yesterday after noon, and judging from remarks heard after the first performance it is really the best liked bunch of the season. This show is possessed of absolute ly the most comely bunch of girls that have been seen in Wilmington this season, and who is there man or woman dho does not delight in ieasting their eyes on feminine beau ty? They're here, and what is more, they are able to act and to perform. They form the niftiest, best-trained land best-voiced dancing and singing chorus of many a day, and their num bers are full of the bang and snap that puts them over big every per formance. Lew Jac Williams, the popular mat rinee musical comedy star, made a dis tinct hit with everyone, especially; the feminine element ; ' the "Waylahds gave many a laugh in their song, "THE STING OF VICTORY." Henry Walthall, the powerful and dominant figure in that greatest of all pictures. "The Birth of a Nation," comes to the Grand tomorrow in a mammoth six-reel Essanay - super drama, "The Sting of Victory," one of the most powerful characteriza tions that this wonderful screen ac tor has ever portrayed on the cellu loid. This is a Walthall picture in every sense. Walthall plays two different and contrasting roles and plays them remarkably well, the play being de signed to bring out his very best work, and he has been given a great opportunity to show jttst how fine an actor he really is. He plays the role of two brothers, well contrasted. The character of the 'older brother is em phasized and of this youth who clings to his principles even when he must sacrifice for them ali he holds dear, and in this portrayal he has drawn a distinct and sympathetic portrait in his best manner. ' It is a story of the Civil War, a role that lovers of Walthall in "The Birth of a Nation," will welcome. In his duties as military commander he tries to be just even when passing sentence upon those dear to him. Im agine the chance for superb acting when his own brother is brought be for heiiu accused of murder, he is f ready to sentence him to death un less he is proved innocent. The sting of victory comes when the girl he loves turns from him and weds another and the pathos and suspense of the final scenes are among the most touching ever screen ed Walker.

IF BACK (Special to The Dispatch.) I New Bern, Jan. 16. New Bern mat j devotees have grown tired of heavy- j weight wrestling bouts and there has j been such an insistent demand for more of the middleweight matches that the management of tthe bouts here have decided to revive' these for a . period. The first match will take place at Stanly Hall next Thursday night when Max Smith, the local fa vorite, will meet John Kilonis, the Greek demon. ! Max is too well known here to de 1 scribe his ability further than to say : that when it comes down to, real hard J work and true effort he is- there with ' the goods and when a crowd of fans go out to see him wrestle they are ; assured there will be no crooked , work going on; and that if he is ! thrown the other, man will just be a better chap. Kilonis .is well known here and is i known to be a wrestler of ability and there is not; the least doubt but that the bout will prove to be a big success.

Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally You Eat Meat Regularly. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake bv flush ing the kidneys occasionally, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full cf sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kid neys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disor ders. Tad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effer vescent Uthia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding seri ous kidney complications.
