But you can get them to eating heartily In a few days by giving them Vlnol, our delicious ton ic, In teaspoonful doses. There Is a book in every package that tells exact ly what to do for such children. "Seven years ago when my little girl was two years old," says Mrs. Carl Wittenberg of Brooklyn, "she was quite delicate and we gave her Vinol. It helped her so much that this spring when the doctor said she had weak lungs and needed blood, I knew Vlnol would do her good again. I started her on it right away and it does her far more good than all the doctor's medicines. I feel like we are putting new life into our little girl when we give her Vinol." Children like to tke Vinol for the taste is pleasant, and we guarantee that Vinol will build them up and make them strong if it does not, we give back your money. Leo H.

IS OR IS NOT RICHMOND If Its Attendance at the Leading Theatrical Attrac tions Is a Criterion, Then It Isn't. Maybe We Don't Know Any Better. BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. If Richmond gets nothing in the the atrical way next season but "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and "Peck's Bad Boy," It is Its own fault. Frequently has it been animadverted upon of late that famous corporal's guard out to the best theatric offering of the season. it is a fact that people say "noth ing good ever comes to this town." This isn't true. 1 Some very good things come here. They have been pointed out so in sistently at least in this column that it isn't worth while to recapitu late. When Mr. Sommers gave up the lease of the Gennett, which he had held for three years, he did so because he had "operated" this theater at a loss during this entire time and was tired out with the whole thing. During his regime he had brought here many of the leading stars and or ganizations of the country including Otis Skinner, Kyrle Beliew.Mrs. Fiske. J. E. Dodson, James K. Hackett, Blanche Walsh, Frances Starr and oth ers of their ilk, with a number of com ic opera and musical comedy stars, musical organizations and terpsicho rean celebrities, among the latter the Russian Symphony orchestra and the Russian Imperial Ballet no better, and much better, than tne average city of its size. This year Mr. Murray has sought to do as well by the town but so far the only thing that "paid out" was "The Girl of My Dreams" and, be it said, one of the most delightful and idyllic of musical comedies. Of all the other things here this year not one has paid for the coming. Wednesday night a small audience greeted the famous Irish Players. This organization has appeared so far in Boston. New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Richmond and Indianapolis and goes on to Chicago where it stays for four weeks, going to one or two middle western cities before reaching Chicago where their theater is not open before the first of February. Those who see in the Irish Players nothing but a presentation of the peas ant and middle class life of the coun try, do not see their dramatic signifi cance. In the three short comedies present ed here were embodied some of the most profound and subtle social truths. They were not Irish traits, qualities, manifestations but those of humani ty. Through the perfect presentation of insularity, universality in effect was achieved. Through a provincial setting, life in its catholicity was pictured. Through the depiction of a limited emotional scale was heard the cry of the world. And this would not have been so, if the art which impinged it before the vision had not been so flawless. This is dramatic art in its apogee. All those critics of the contempora neous stage should have been present at the performance. Especially those of the stage's manifestation in Rich mond. - Here was an opportunity to see the representatives of a dramatic and lit erary movement that has attracted at tention on two continents. The papers, the magazines, every printed rag of publicity has been full of it. Ignorance or it on the part of the average intel ligent, educated citizen seems unpar donable, and, indeed, impossible. That crassness which is suspicious of every theatric "offering" that comes to town thinking that it could not pos sibly be "original" is an evidence of a certain unsophistication. While it is true the public is handed out many theatric gold bricks it is, in the end, the people's own fault. If they demand the genuine and knew the genuine when they saw it, or knew it without seeing it the spurious would not so often be foisted on them. The trouble is people are always try ing to get bargains in amusements as well as in merchandise. No Suffering Yets! The unnatural suffering of so many women at times can be relieved by a little care and proper help. Beecham's Pills give just the assistance needed.

ART SWM M&rtt A HIGH-BROV; TOWIi? How delighted they are when they get a good thing cheap. And, after a time, they haunt the bargain sales alone. The prices in the "legitimate" thea tres of the size of the Gennett are not entirely controlled by the local man agement. Every contract has Its own conditions. And they are based on a general estimate. Managers have to strike an average. They can't let every local "rube" manager dictate their prices. Prices are set according to what is called "capacity." In the Gennett there are less than a thousand seats. Therefore, with a theatrical organi zation of the first class, the highest prices (except in extraordinary cases like the Russian Imperial Ballet), are generally two dollars. If the theatre were larger the prices would be lower. But the attitude of the public is amusing. In instance, when Daniel Ftohman's company in "Thy Neighbors Wife," j a charming comedy, visited Richmond 1 the highest priced seat was put at ! $1.50 as a concession to this same local management. And with what result? A packed house? By no means. A few scattered ones here and there. And certain of the public the ones who kick the hardest against the twe dollar prices, saying that we are being robbed and bullywhacked said they j didn't attend as they didn't suppose it was any- good because the highest priced seat was only $1.50. So there you are. This column was asked why it didn't "roast" the Aborn Grand Opera Com pany on account of the shabbiness ot its scenic appurtenances ahd 'be cause the personnel of its chorus i had the general appearance of being recruited from the black-band society For this reason. "Martha" and, indeed, that clasr of musical-theatric presentation callec "grand" opera, which also includet "light" opera is concerned, broadly, with principals. The chorus is so subsidiary as tc count for little. Its entire elimination in fact, would not destroy the effect o: the interest. The principals, in this instance, wer; well cast. They were not, as erroneousl; thought, "understudies." The Aborn people do not carry ur derstudies. They have different sets of princi pals some are cast for one opera some for another. Jane Abercrombic who sang the principle role here, 1, one of their best known sopranoes. I "Madame Butterfly" had been put ot here, as intended by the company bui which was changed when they fount it had previously been given in Rich mond, a different set of principak would have appeared. As defective as the setting of "Mar tha" was nonetheless it was a good thing for the town to have this stand ard opera presented. And the princi pals were good. If the town is ever going to get to a theatric shake-down bo me discrimina tion must be shown in the throwing of brickbats and bouquets. If things are bad and heaven knows they're bad enough "roast" em. If there is any good In them, fer ret It out and comment on It. In the matter of the Irish Players, however, no matter whether you liked them or didn't like them they were good. That remains. And the fact that this town had the ! opportunity to see this famous organl- !zatlon of hlstrions who mark the be ' ginning of an epoch In the history of BRAZILIAN BALM "The Old Reliable" is magic for coughs, grip, croup, asthma, catarrh and quick consumption to the last stage. KILLS THE GERMSI fJti Street the contemporaneous drama and are therefor Important or Interesting ev en if lacking. In supreme excellence which they do not and draw its own conclusions, and that only a beggarly few took advantage of It, is sufficient commentary. The truth is, as has been said be fore, Richmond Is a Joke and a fake in matters pertaining to art. It poses on its little pedestal, bow ing and smirking and saying what a great man am I and proceeds to pull out a good many rotten plums of its own growing. Richmond is not an art center. Never was. Might have been but won't be. And it Is because it Is crass, crude, provincial, insular, complacent, ego tistic, cud-chewing. And plain, una dorned ignorant. People yowl "knocker" Is It because you hit the bullseye? Wow. Knollenberg's Three Hour Sale, Saturday morning, 8 to 11.
