FOTETFEV Saturday, September 5, 1908. THE VANCOUVER WORLD SUFFERED TOBTURE FOR 70 YEARS 1C Mm D1AMA Notice of Removal George Stevens, Surgical Irv strument and Physicians' Sup. piles and Cutlery, late of No. 10 Arcade, has removed to No. 6, Granville Mansions, Robson first store West of Granville St.

THE EMPFESS It would he well for the knowing ones who predicted the failure uf the Empress theater, prior to its opening, now almost three months ago, to visit this popular playhouse and watch the hundreds who call at the box office daily and listen to the continual ringing of the office phone, which is, in itself, an indication of the dreire for seats. All this merely goe sto prove one fact, Ions overlooked, that the residents of Vancouver are a theatrical people and will pationize the play, providing the drama is presented in a capable and conscientious manner. Once establish the idea that an effort is being made along these lines and tho results are immediately obtained; this ii why the Empress is taxed to its uj most capacity at every performance. Mr. Lawrence and his company of thes pians have proved themselves worthy of patronage, as all have endeavored to make the season a pronounced success.

Manager Walter Sanford has demonstrated that a good stock company can Mr tions and take care of the musical end of a program which promises to be one of genuine entertainment from commencement to end. THE GRIND That good, clenn, musical comedy is popular with the Vancouver theater go ers has been demonstrated by Manager Lewis at the Grand theater during the past fen weeks, which the Lewis A Lake Musical Comedy company have been nlavinr at this ccv little nlavhouse. to packed houses. For next week's bill the management promises a rare musical treat in "A Turkish Harem," which is said to he equally as funny as any of it predecessors. This bill will be followed by the original "Telephone Many catchy musical number will be introduced in the coming week's bill, among them "Milo," by dainty Marjoric Lake and her famous dancing girls; "Hiram," Miss Lake's famous impersonation of a country boy.

Miss Gladys Van's rendition of "A Lemon in the Garden of Love" is said to be immense. The original "Stroll" sextette will also be introduced, making the musical part of the program exceptionally strong. Three performances are given daily at the Grand, with a specially arranged program for labor day. Another feature picture 'ill be run on the new grandiscope, together with a new pictured nuilody, "Someone Thinks of Someone." PANTAGES Labor day will be duly celebrated at the Pantages by the first performance of a new bill that is notaMe for its novel features and the variety of entertainment offered the patrons. Manager George A.

Calvert has excelled himself in the aggregation of talent which he has got together for the coming week, and some of the very best arts on the Pantages circuit will be included in the new bill. The feature act will be supplied by the Three Heumans. They are America's most noted trick and fancy cyclists and have toured the world with their marvelous act, which this season is being seen in vaudeville for the jirst time. They have heretofore been connected with one of the big circuses as a feature act. The Heumans have a bi SizI 81 nights, Wednesday and Saturday mat Commencing Monday, August 31, Frank W.

This is proven by the obtaining of such brilliant plays as "The Girl of the Golden But Mr. Sanford and his associates do not rest satisfied and have already contracted for all of the Cciusco attractions, among which can be mentioned "The Heart of Maryland" end "The Kose of the Eancho." Vancouver will have a very high line of plays to look forward to for the fall and winter season, and with a liberal manag.vmant tion as possessed by Messrs. Lawrence and Sandusky, it is safe to declare that the Empress will play to capacity business for many days to come. It has been found necessary, owing to Ike great demand for seats, to add a special Labor day matinee performance and so "The Girl of the Golden West" will begin her week's run on Mojilay afternoon, Sept. 7.

This famous play will receive a careful production at the hands of Mr. Lawrence and associates, The magnificent scenic effects wll tur paei anything of a like character seen on the local stage. That the lay it elf will prove interesting is a foregone inclusion, as the story deals with the men and women of the west, of which British Columbia is a part. The story centers around the characters found in the rugged mountains of this great empire, where honesty weighed far more than the possession of earthly wealth. Manhood and womanhood were respected and honored by these builders of history and the tiuth ful reproduction of their lives and 'achievements haTe builded one uf the greatest of American plays.

There will be the usnal Wednesday and Saturday matinees, besides the special Labor day matinee on Monday afternoon. THE ORrHECM Manager Donellan will have another strong bill at the Orpheum next week if his plans mature, and they generally do. The bills that will be seen on the coast this season will be iu every way better than those of last season. The west has benefited by the vaudeville war, which has been waging in the east, and several of the big acts even outside of the Orpheum circuit have made up their minds to get away from the scene of strife. i One, possibly more, of these acts will be seen on programs given at the Pender street theater from this time on.

Later in the year all the Orpheum acts may be brought to Vancouver and the theater made into a one night bouse. In that event Sullivan Considine would lease or build a new theater for their ordinary vaudeville. The headliners on Monday will be Welch, Francis 4 Co. in a farcical sketch entitled "The Flip Mr. It has had a great reception on the big eastern circuits, and should make good here.

There are five people in the cast and all are experts in the art of funmaking. For an acrobatic turn the act presented by the Abdullah Troupe of six should be hard to beat. In whirlwind tumbling and gymnastics these Arabs are said to be without a peer. Louis Chevalier Co. will be seen in a comedy sketch, "A Lucky Liar." The story of a husband who endeavors to deceive his wife and gets retribution in the shape of many entanglements, is given a new twist in this cleverly written comedy.

Maie Shaftels, an English comedienne, who has gained quite a reputation in London, will be another feature that Manager Donellan has taken great pains to secure for a British audience, and James F. Sullivan, with several songs that are promised as new, and a monologue of the sparkling variety will be the last of the new acts. I John Van Sycle will be heard in a new ballad with special colored slides and i i Wit of a Premlnsnt Physician Tails How Shs Was Cured Mrs. J. R.

Flock Is the widow of one of the best known physicians in London, Ontario. She was treated by her husband and many other medical men yet never received any lasting benefit, Just by accident, she tried a well known remedy, and now, after 70 years of sufr fering, she is well. Read her letter to Fruit a tives Limited: "Dear Sirs, Since my early childhood (and I am now in my seventy third year) I have suffered indescribable tor ment from stomach trouble and lndi gestion, complicated with liver disorder Being the wife of a prominent physician (the late Dr. R. Flock), naturally enough, had a prejudice against proprietary medicines.

I was, however, unable to benefit to any great extent through my lifetime, from iking the ordinary remedies of physicians, being constantly in delicate' health from stom ach disorder and vomiting. Accidental ly I came into possession of a sample of "Fruit a tives" tried them, and found myself wonderfully benefited. I take them now as my only medicine and they are keeping me in the most satisfactory health. 'After finding out the wonderful med icinal qualities of "Fruit a tives" I have recommended them to many of mv friends and acquaintances, who have also had the best results from their use and one lady friend that I have re cently recommended them to, has used them for sciatica, from which she suffered constantly and was unable to pro cure anv remedy that would relieve her. She is now taking "Fruit a tives" and is cured.

"I am glad to be able to recommend Fruit a tives' and will be glad if you will use my name in any way that will be the means of bringing your remedy before the public." (Sgd.) Mrs. J. R. Flock. 316 Dundas Street.

London, Feb. 28, 1908. OF EYE HAS NO SECRET FROM DR. JORDAN By the Aid of Proper Instruments All Defects Are Discovered by Vancouver's Pioneer Optician at 334 Hastings Strset. PROPER GLASSES THEN FITTED Do you ever find it difficult to collect your thoughts to concentrate your mind on the work or study in hand to think clearly and easily? Perhaps you are suffering from what the newspapers call "brain fog." I want you to read what one of America's greatest and best known opticians has to say on this subject Dr.

George M. Gould, of Philadelphia, whose name is almost a household word. "The so called brain fog is a silly myth. The brain does not tire; intellectual work does not hurt under normal conditions. It is eye strain that causes all the brain fog which the newspapers have been exploiting." This conclusive statement will come as news to hundreds of men and women who make a living in pursuits calling for the expenditure of much thought and mental effort.

It is good news, for it shows that improved sight is not only of great physical benefit, but helps the mind in its multitudinous labors. If your eyes are at fault: if you suspect them of causing physical or mental troubles of any kind, do not delay, do not procrastinate corns in today and let me examine them. If I find that you need glasses and I will not proscribe them unless you do I will provide you with a pair of my specially ground prescription lenses that will remedy every defect. NOTICE.

and Sat. at 2:15 MISS MAIE English Comedienne in the novelty and one that must be Been to be appreciated Another somewhat unusual turn on a vaudeville bill is to be presented by Tatum, the noted mind reader and wizard of second sight. This tions of the past, which he makes as well as giving glimpses of the future and telling things they are expecting. Tatum is a recent European booking and has a continental reputation. A musical turn that is strictly high class will be supplied by Ye Olde Home at thc ou'iutm xext week.

a i in a of a Choir. This is a quartette of talented vocalists who go in for straight harmony in their turn and omit the usual comedy efforts used by most quartettes, which are often rather forced. Each of the four is a finished vocal artists and their voices are said to blend superbly Comedy will not be lacking on the bill however. Lester, the great ventriloquist, who is a finished artist in that line, will create no end of laughter during his very amusing turn. He is a ventr.i loquist with original methods and does some remarkable feats in the line of voice control.

Then there will be more music and comedy intermingled when the Clemenzo Bros, get busy. They are team of musical acrobatic clowns and produce music from everything they touch. They have a novel dinner table stunt, popular airs being played on the most surprising article. They ahso in troduce some very clever acrobatic stunts throughout their act. Miss Orma Orton, who has already established her self as a prime, favorite as a vocal ar tist, will have a new illustrated ballad to render next week, entitled "Some day, Sweetheart, Some The mov ing pictures will comprise some new comedy films that will be up to the usual high class and with the orchestral selections will make up a very attractive MAPLE LEAF The introduction of the chronophone into Vancouver has unquestionably been successful, as proved by the crowded houses to be seen nightly at the Maple Leaf theater.

Next week an entire change of program takes place, both in the moving and talking pictures, and in order to further popularize his theater, Mr. Muir has consented to a substantial reduction in the price of admission, one price only prevailing, namely ten cents for children and adults. In addition to a series of humorous pictures, the films will also depict Svme charming scenic effects, taken off the French coast. The talking pictures will render "Waltz Me Around Again, Wil lie," "When the Birds Sing," and "Regiment of Frocks and Mis Holmes, the charming Australian singer, will sing two new songs at each performance. PROF.

CLAY'S MUSICAL CARXIVAL This popular event takes place Saturday next in the Lyric theater (afternoon and evening), and will conclude with the fairy operetta "Bubbles," given by Prof. Clay's junior singing class, fifty number, Miss Elsa Goerlich taking the part of the fairy queen, and Miss Lillian Mangold acting as Bubbles. The Lyric will undoubtedly be packed at both performances, for it will be remembered that the opera house was filled last year, and crowds turned away the year before. The program, from musical standpoint, is of a much higher standard than before and the numbers are very varied. There are over eighty of the professor's pupils taking part; fifty in the operetta "Bubbles," twenty five instrumentalists and ten vocalists, It promises to be a very interesting and attractive entertainment.

Programs can be obtained at any of the stores where tickets are sold and we would recommend those who intend going to book early, as the number tickets is very limited. THE SPORTSMAN'S FAVORITE.
