Do you Ichoto that more real danger
lurks in a common cold than iu auy
other of the minor ailments? The safe
way is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, a thoroughly reliable preparation, and rid yoursalf of the cold as
quickly as possible. This remedy is for
sale bv R. H. Cressy.

In the "Heart Breakers," the latest
of musical comedies from the Princess
Theatre, Ohicago, the authors have
evolved a rather unique idea. A
group of young New Yorkers, who
have suffered the "Amourous Jilt"
pledge themselves to eternal singleness, and united as a club, swear revenge on every feminine heart breaker. The methods of the club are
novel. The victim amid romantic
surroundings is made the object of
the skin deep adoration of a-member
of the club, who wins her trusting
heart, kisses her and then laughs at
her and tells her that he Mvas only
joking. The scheme works out all
right until tlie club's mater, none
other than George Damerel, late of
"Merry Widow" fame, tries to enmesh the "girl" Miss Myrtle Vail, in
his insiduous net. In wearing the
toils he falls desperately in love with
her, and follows her to her mountain
fastness in the Adirondacks, invades
the place, faces an irate father, breaks
his pledge to the club and gives her a
real, soulful kiss, forswearing bache-
lordoni. Of course, the apostasy of
the head of the club destroys it then
and there, and the futility of man's
attempting to punish lha flirtatious
woman is demonstrated.
Manager Mort H. Singer, undtir
whose personal supervision the piece
is produced has spared no expense to
make this the most pleasing of his
many successes.
"The Heart Breakers" will be seen
at the Whitney Theatre, Ann Arbor,
on Saturday, February 15, matinee
and night. A company of fifty is
carried, and the chorus has been the
subject of many favorable comments,
for like all the Singer choruses, the
girls are both pretty and vivacious.
Among the song hits are, "My Honolulu Honey Lou," "Your Eyes, Your
Smile and You," "The Tale of the
Bashful Bumble Bee," "If I Had A
Hundred Hearts" and many others.
The piece is in two acts, the first taking place at the Saxon Club, in New
York, and the second-* at Munger
Castle in the Adirondacks.
A'll interurban cars held for performances. Tickets may be procured
by phoning the box ofiice, No. 480.
