DELIGHTFULLY DIFFERENT,
"FLORA BELLA" IS BIG HIT
By Far Best Musical Comedy Which
Has Appeared Here This Season?
Florence Webber Has Wonderful
Personality.
Delightfully different and distinctive
among the many other musical
comedies which have appeared in
'",1 l AA- ?????? woo fllO HPT
unanoue mis scaouu, n?a vuv r?.
formance of "Flora Bella," at the
Academy of Music, matinee and
night, Saturday. Miss Florence Webber,
late star in "Naughty Marietta"
* completely captivated her audiences
and succeeded in making the show
the best which has come South this
year.
Possessing a beautiful voice and a
personality, which fairly seemed to
create her part, Miss Webber displayed
talent where dramatic acting
was called for and fully measured
up to the standards set for her by
advance notices.
John R. Phillips, co-star with Miss
Webber, failed to approach the pace
set by other members of the company,
but doubtless that fact was
due to the unusual brilliancy of his
opposite.
Mildred Shelley, as LaRene, dancer
at the Golden Calf Restaurant,
was a wonder. Robert Buchanan,
Miss Shelley's dancing partner was
also good, but the grace and vivacity
of Miss Shelley brought rounds
of applause from the audience and
they were forced to respond to encore
after encore.
The comedy role was ably and
humorously handled by John L.
Kearney, who took the part of Count
Sergley Weronzeff. Mr. Kearney succeeded
in more than supplying the
necessary amount of fun to make
"Flora Bella" a success.

proved upon.
The play begins in the counti
home of Prince Nicholas Demidoi
The prince has grown tired of h
domestic, pious little wife and lonj
for excitement and things away froi
the hum drum, everyday existent
of married life.
He finally decides to leave hon
for several weeks and seek a danct
who had become noted throughoi
Russia through her performance i
a certain restaurant known as tt
"Sign of the Golden Calf."
Before leaving hoine, Manja Den
idoff (Florence Webber) who is Prii
cess Demidoff, but formerly wj
Flora Bella, is sought out by her o)
manager and begged to return him 1
a place in the world, lost through h<
disappearance 12 months prior 1
that time.
The Princess decided to return 1
the old life for one night only an
gives Kosonoff, the manager, he
consent to appear at the "Sign c
the Golden Calf" the next night.
When Kosonoff leaves he forgel
to take with him a picture of Floi
Bella, in tights.
Prince Demidoff comes into th
rcom, and finds the picture, seesthi
it is his wife and begin to reproac
her, when her father, John 1
Kearney, in the role of Count Serj
ley Weronzeff, comes to the resui
and explains that the picture is c
Manja's twin sister, a disgracefi
woman, who is a famous dancer.
The prince sets out to find th
dancer and his wife slips away t
the same time to assume the roll
which she once played in the restai
rant.
They meet, but through her ur
usual vivacity and daring, so unlik
Princess Demidoff, she succeeds i
fooling the prince and makes hii

is By just being a plain, true, wo^
man, and showing him that she loved
? !j
;e him better than anything else in
the world, Manja revives the love
for her in Demidoff's heart and he
casts aside all fascination which the
'I dancer had for him.
The curtain rings down on the filp
nal scene as Manja sings one of
Flora Bella's love songs, and the
prince wakes to the realization that
Flora Bella and his wife are one and
1_ the same persons, and that his wife
is not the cold, uninteresting domesd

headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and
all sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment
you feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces
of Jad Salts, from any good drug
store here, take a tablespoonful in
.1 glass of water before breakfast for
and is harmless to flush clogged kida
few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia,
neys and stimulate them to norma]
activity. It also neutralizes the acidt
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water
drink which everybody
should take now and then to keep

A well-known local druggist says
he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.?Adv.
