V A V ' Reynolds pera House : -; "' , TUBSPfiY, ' FEB, 2 1 , 11 N ILrf ATH ERS ' ' ' . ft WW 4., J ""IUJ VWV.WW - -- ...... Coming direct from 150 nights at Astor Theatre, New York; 150 nights at Cort Theatre, Chicago. The first and only engagement here. The biggest American play ever written. "Fine Feathers," by Eugene Walter, author of "Paid in Full," "The Easiest Way," "The Wolf," "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," etc. The universal approval of press and public. p Don't fail to see "Fine Feathers" 5c whl LOO j& j& Tuesday Night, February 2, 1915 i - i i Bed, White and Blue. Those who originated the idea of grouping and staging the Red, White and Blue Minstrels had also some very clever notions about cos tumes and scenery. The curtain went up Tuesday night on a very attractive military spectacle, with "Ladies to the center and gents all around." The ends were decorated in burnt cork with such choice spirits as J. P. Morris and I. B. Griffin, reinforced by DeGraffenreid, Whipple and Rogers. ' The entire ensemble appeared in full dress regalia as follows: Mes dames R. E. White, Thad Lee, Misses Katherine Morris, Jo Rippy, Rosa Brown, Edith Quinn, Mary Leita Webster, Beth Rook, Clatie Andrews, Lorene Carter, Bess Beck, Messrs. S. B. Thompson, S. D. Woos ley, W. E. Hudgins, W. W. Moore, li. F. Howard, C. L. Andrews, F. E. Quinn, R. E. White, Casper Isaacs, Calvin McCaw, C. V. Jones. This was the dress circle with the militia stationed to the rear as follows: Calvin Reeser, Fred Nailling,' V. L. Reynolds, Jno. Moody, Jr., Willie Martin, Herbert Quinn, Paul Scott, Dixon Williams, Geo. Monrotus, Luther Morris, Paul Jones. In the center of the group was the interlocutor, Jimmie Boyd, in the braided uniform of the commanding officer. At the command of the musical director, J. H. Nixon, the allies and the invaders opened fire. A hot one was sent to headquarters con cerning the ruling of styles, it being the dictum that clothing must con form to the color of the hair, where upon the burnt cork geniiis on the nd, with very little reflection, -wanted to know what color of cloth ing "Hot Rolls Driskill and Henry Stanfleld should wear?" Of course it wasn't right, but "AH is fair in love in war." From that shells began to fall and the bullets to shower through the audience, and an attempt was made by' General Dynamite Griffin and Commodore Submarine Morris to suspend hostilities until they could get their voices sandpapered. They -wanted the audience to indulge them for a little "bullet," and they got it over all right. By the way they were encored like men who had seen a minstrel, and Ends DeGraf fenreid, Jackson, Whipple and Rog ers also scored. To be more serious, one of the fea tures of the show was the chorus singing, and that was also another clever stroke of the general man ager, C. V. Jones, who promoted this minstrel for the benefit of the First Christian Church Sunday school. The audience was large and the program enjoyed immensely. " Some of the soloists were highly appre ciated, and there were several good ones, assisted by A. L. Garth, who joined in the cabaret scene with a good selection. They were also in quartets and octets. Miss Bess Beck appeared in a read ing number, "The Usual Way," which kept the audience in such a good humor she couldn't get away in the usual way. Superlative. Mrs. Geo. A. Giabs, Sr., this city, is in receipt of a letter from Mer ritt Craft, manager of the Southern Department of the Redpath Bureau, in which that gentleman says speaks of Schildkret's Orchestra as follows: The writer heard Schildkret's Or chestra a week or so ago and can certainly recommend them to you. You need not' hesitate in using the superlatives when speaking of the concert. At Macon, Ga., they play ed two hours and a half to a thou sand people. They surely are fine. "It is a pleasure to know that you were so well pleased with Mr. New ens. It is. quite probable we can ar range an engagement another season if you so desire." UNION CITY'S REPLY.

In Canton, Ohio, famous as the home of President McKinley, Samuel Schild kret and his Hungarian Orchestra were tendered a great ovation during a Decem ber tour through the Buckeye territory. Nearly 5,000 people filled the great audi torium and the demand for encores was so great that the program lasted for two hours and a half. "One of the most enjoyable features of the entertainment was the witty man ner in which the director announced and explained the selections," com ments a Canton paper. During the Canton program as elsewhere during tour, Schildkret appeared in six dif ferent uniforms. On his coat was a medal presented to him by the super intendent of one of Indiana's largest hospitals. "We have so many selections at our command that we could have played all night," remarked Schildkret in speak ing of the great success scored at Can ton. "We are always ready to play any standard selections which the audi ence may request." Miss Mabal Bransford.

The day being well spent all guests left rejoicing and declaring Mrs. Reese and Mr. Austin an ideal host and hostess. Presents were numerous and delightful. Are You Blue? Thousands have come to hear Mc Connell with heavy hearts and feel ing that life was hardly worth the effort and have gone away with the blues dispelled and hope in their hearts, made better and more able to fight the battles of life by the uplifting message of cheer that he so delights to give. If you want to feel glad that you are living and have a share in the battles of life, then hear McConnell Feb. 1. Lincoln McConnell is one of our own "folks. A critic says of him that he is so. Southern that it is the first thing you would say of him. You see it in his Southern charm of manner and hear it in his accent. But the very best thing about him is that he has something to say and knows how to say it. Don't fail to hear McConnell on Monday night, Feb. 1. Three Numbers in February. In order to get Dr. McConnell, we had to forego a Lyceum number in November. When the Redpath Bu reau found that Dr. McConnell could not fill his engagement in that month they offered to substi tute another lecturer, but the com mittee believing the season-ticket holders were entitled Nto the attrac tions as booked when their tickets were purchased, so notified the Bu reau. Consequently there will be only a few days between McConnell and the famous Schildkret's Hunga rian Orchestra. Then near the end of the month we will have Dr. Steiner,, who will come to us from Memphis, where he is to deliver two lectures on consecutive nights for the Nineteenth Century Club.' The Chiropractor Arrested. Dr. T. F. Thomson was indicted at this term of the Circuit Court for prac ticing without a license and Officer Mathis served the papers this week. Dr. Thomson is a disciple of the school of chiropractic and has been practicing his profession in Union City for a year or more. This is the second indictment served on him, and he gave bail Wed nesday in the sum of $2,500 to answer at the next term of Circuit Court. The State of Tennessee provides that phy sicians shall have a license, issued by an examining board, to practice in Tennes see. The practice of osteopathy was introduced and met the same trouble until provisions for that practice were also made. Now comes chiropractic, for which no provisions are made and the courts are to decide the matter. Chiropractic is not the practice of med icine but a mode of spinal column and other adjustments of joints of the body from the distributing nerve centers, made to restore the nerve forces and thereby correct diseased conditions. It is very little different fim osteopathy, except that osteopathy takes a wider raoge of adjustments, according to an authority in osteopathy. But there are no provisions made for the chir. jractic and bis more fortunate brother is pro tected while he is outlawed. Dr. Thomson will very likely appeal to the higher courts and probably to the Legislature for relief. Card of Thanks.
