GREAT AUDIENCE GREETS SINGERS (Continued From First rage.) vorltes," and before the concert was concluded there was only one great big regret In the groat big house - that they were not both to sing again to-day. whereas neither of them will sing again. House "Hose nt Gluck." Next of th?5 artl*ts to appear was Mate. Alma Gluck, who had already suhg her trnv deep Into the heart* ??( nil Itlchmond. The house simply "rose at her." and went wild when she kfsscd her hands to it In gracious apprecia? tion of Us Joyous welcome. And tlicn came stately Mine. Louise Homer, who ha/1 poured out hei glorious voice to us on two or?'ie: occasions, and whom the house also loved and greeted wltS great applause. Each of them sang. and. In ;<1I sin? cerity. It is Impossible to saj whi< h of them deserves Ihe higher praise, or which of them the audience grew most enthusiastic over, it narrows down to a question of taste?purely the personal conation. Mme. Gluck, I eking more than ever like an etching of llellcu, a bit Blin? derer than before, with most of the charm In the world In lier witching personality, sang the aria, "Pepuls Jour," from Charpentier's "Louise," in her vob-e of crystal and gold. lh? pUr est, sweetest, warmest vol e that ws have heard in many years. She took her very high notes with the quality, the beauty, that pervadas her entire voice; she sang with the same graeelul charm with which she bewitched us last year, and mad" us quite under? stand why she Is the most popular grand opera soprano in America to; lay, and then. In response to the wild ap? plause of the home, came back * and *ang the little Scotch song. "My Lad? die-." with as much softness, stntplh Ity and tenderness as if she were not a glittering star of opera, but had suntj simple little srnqrs all lo r llf ?. Thpj,. later, she sang the Irlo "roin "Fajlgt" with Mr. .Torn and Mr. Whttehlll, i,,st sji perfectly as she did last year, and, still later. "The Last Kose <,f Summer." In the "Martha" number, with little ??? - companlment save that of tha,harp, un? til one could almost see the leaves drop. After this she saiig Cad man's Jewel of a song. "From t!,,.

The blood does not contain the necessary quantity of rich, red corpuscles, and is therefore a weak, u-atery stream -which cannot afford sufficient nourishment to sustain the System in ordinary health. A poorly nourished body cannot resist disease, fc'nd this explains why so many persons are attacked by & spell of sickness when the use of a good tonic would have prevented the trouble. In S. S. S. will be found both blood-cleansing and tonio qualities combined. It builds up weak constitutions by removing all impurities and germs from the blood, thus supplying a certain means ior restoring strength and invigorating the system. The healthful, vegetable ingredients of which E.S. S. is composed make it splendidly fitted to the needs of those systems which are delicate from uny cause. It is Nature's Perfect Tonic, free from all harmful minerals, a safe ana pleasant acting medicine for persons of every age. B. S. S. rids the body of that tirod, worn-out feoling so common at this season, Improves tho appetite and digosr.ion, tones up the stomach, acts with pleasing effects c:i the nervous system, and reinviporates every portion of the body.

As a pro- j j test against the use of tobacco by the I I employes of the manufacturing com- < panics, followers of Wilbur Glenn!

A sec nd clash between the church pco plc and tin- Independents was predicted at the auditorium meeting, in which Vollva urged his followers to protect their women and children from the "tobacco-smoking curs," as he stigma? tised the Independents. Klder P. M. Royal and Joseph Bishop were the most seriously injured In the prayer meeting light. Both were badly beaten, and It Is thought Bishop's skull was fractured.

The word expectant is used advisedly, for while nearly everybody In that audience ex? pected lg tilings of Miss UaVerne, few bell ved that so finished a per formani e of a really great play could bo given with so short a time in which to [prepare. "Ann Boyd" Is of the type of drama which might be called pastoral, but one. fgrsrets that It Is a play at all, being entirely occupied In the men and women who live their lives on the stage. The success was spontaneous and was evident from the moment the cuttalu ros,. on the first act. with Haby Kj^icn eying a line of stockings which sliA (Baby Kauen Is a boy. but In the plilv he is a sha) has placed over till htftrlh in the hop/i that Santa Claus ?ei ;?? forgot it was just Thanksgiving or/? not Christmas, and fill them up wl'i good things. lolien tho Schuberts, after reading the manuscript of the play written by Miss IxiYcrne, accepted 11 and ugrced to put the play on thu road next sea? son, with the author as tho alar, they did a wise thins- liven "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" and "Mrs. Wlgga ?f tho Cabbage Patch" ?will bo forgotten ?when tho people get to know "Ann | Uoyd." She Is the embodiment of all | that Is good In life. Warring all of the time between the Inherent good which ever asserts Itself and a desire, for rewnge upon the woman who has turned her happy married life Into an arid waste of lonely struggling, tho better part of her always bobs up se? renely and asserts Itself In causing her to pick up a street waif and 'educate him, In paying for an operation which I la to save the life of her bitterest en [ omy, and Anally In saving the daughter of this bitterest enemy from tho ma? chinations of a not ovrrly conscientious young man. Miss l/aVerne mokes the part stand nut prominently and gl\es it that motherly touch which Is bound to ap? peal. She Is Ann Boyd. Every move? ment, every Intonation, every volun? tary Impulse, portray the woman who The World's Favorite Bottled Beer What made it so? - QUALITY and PURITY; 173,184,600 Bottles sold in 1911.

Richmond, Va. has suffer id and who knor.vs It. yet Is willing to battle gamely on to win vic? tory In the end. She Is tho finished uctress, who makes one forget that sho lives In the world of make-believe, an,i presents the character 6o forcibly that It actually lives. In appreciation of her efforts Miss l.aVerno wns the recipient of many bouquets, including a magnificent horseshoe, done in roses and carnations, a gilt from the lieal lodge of T. M A.s Not only that, but so Insistent was her Hu<*ience that at the elose of the third set was com? pelled to make a speech, which she did neatly and gracefully, thanking every? body, from Sain Ca hen, the stage car? penter, to little Ixxy Bernstein, the small I it hustling property master. Hut Miss La Verne, no matter how one may want to dwell on her good qualities, la not the whole show. There Is \V. s. Thome, the leading man, husband of Ann Boyd, who believes th? stories told about his wife and leaves her, to return finally, after learning the truth, and ask forgiveness. A Hu shed \ actor Is Mr. Thdrne, and though doing a char.vter part. Impressed everybody with his work. He was effective In every scene. Clcahey Mathews, the juvenile of I the organization, as Luk. King, the adopted waif, who had made good, was a distinct hit and many a mall- j nee girl Is going to suffer heartaches | over this good looking young man. I Lorlmer Johnson, the stage director I ivmnot be praised too much. In ad? dition to his hard work In directing the company, he did a bit of character work as Sam Homlnway, which went straight to the people In the seats out in fr#ont. Hal Castle ami Hal Chester, both clever young men, scored Individual lilts and before the summer Is over are going to bo heard from. Of the women, next, of course, to Miss I<a Verne, comes Parke Patton, the In? genue, who calls H'chmond home, she was everything which advance notices hud said of her, had just to see this sprightly, in city and vivacious little miss Is worth the price of ad? mission. My, what a favorite she is going to be; indeed, has already he . em, if the Howes* she received last night anil the applause she brought forth, are any in'iic-Jtlon. Julia Ne? ville, in the thankless part of Jane Homlnway, the troublemaker, scored a success. A clever woman, with an eye to the fitness of things, she Is one of the most Important cogs In the company, making it "A-ell balanced -ml adding to tho play Just that touch of contrast without which the character of Aim would lose much- Donah Benrino as Mary Wnycroft, the one tine friend of Ann's, fell Into con? genial paths and got every bit out of the part thru anybody could possibly get. The play, as stated, is largely a sermon, it preaches, yet is not preachy. There is never u dull mo? ment, anil the philosophy of It all goes Straight home, to the heart and mind, and sometimes to the eyes- As for the company, it Is a hit. and it Is going to be In Richmond for many, many more weeks to come. The pro? duction does credit to th'o man who made it possible, Sam Cahen, and that wizard of the saw and humnu-r has taken tho audience almost to Broad? way. The same can be said of the property man, the electrician, and In fact the entire stage crew. The waits last night were not long, and not a soul outside of those in the secret could possibly have told that it was a first night's performance. "Ann Boyd Is going to pack tho BljOU all week, Just a.s Lucille La Verne and her players will pack the Academy each week during 'the rest of the season. They deserve It.
