t “All the actors and animals are home
grown people” is the announcement made
by the Sherman Elks about their coming
* big “66 Ranch and Humbug Circus” which
will be presented June 5th by an all local
cast, under direction of Henry Roquemore,
the professional local talent director.
There will be a cast of 50 seen in the
“shows,” which will be given under a big
water-proof tent seating 2200 people, lo-
cated at Walnut street on T. & P, lot and
the Sherman Elks promise the biggest,

“Atonement” at Topic Today.
Startling and striking, shot through
with the fire uud glamour that is part
and parcel of everything the French
do, “Atonement,” the first of the
Brady-Intemational Service—World-
Pictures is a brilliant attraction with
(which, to Inaugurate this service by
means of which the leading French
One of the largest crowds of the
season witnessed the |day given by
the Junior High School pupils at the
0|iera house last evening. ItespUe the
ninny threatening clouds appearing
before the o|ieiibig of the oiiera house
doors, at llm appointed hour every
sint had'been'taken and many were
standing.
A definite, distinct and interesting
prologue of the play was given by Dor-
atliy Ney, which gave all a better un-
derstanding of each act, of-yvbich there
were three.
The,small actors anil actresses wlio
gave to the Sherman r»eople “Pixie’s
Triumph" In such a delightful and in-
Icreating manner are to Is- highly com-
plimented for their pleasing, unassum-
ing singe presence, ns each individual
seemed lo bo In sueh perfect sympathy
and understanding with the personal-
ity of the fairy-land personage whom
they represented, that the audience
was prone to forget that these wee
fairies and pixies wcer our own Sher-
man boys and girls Instead of the inys
torlous, frolicsome J little creatures
over whom Dame Forrest had full con-
trol.
Special mention should lie made of
Queen of the Fairies, Miss Jt-att Cara
way, and the King of tlm Pixies. IlHinp
ton Abney..both staunch contender*
for (he throne of Fairyland. Tin
Qiten in iter gala costume of whit*
ermine with deep golden trimmings,
wearing a lovely crown of preeiou*
Jewels in true imjierlnl style, was truly
majestic. *
King Scissors was dressed similar lo
his associate elfs. In a suit of deep
red and green with the high red lint,
and was girded about with his hand
some silver belt, which held Hit
Sword Royal.
Two Intermission dunces, a Greek
dance and that of the typical SpanlsJ
maidens, were the subject of much fa
voruble cun men t, but the number ol
the evening which was received with
the greatest applause was the soldlet
drill, Nevlll Harrington acting as cap
tain of some twenty stalwart young
sters hi a fifteen minute march on thi
stage, putting his “company" through
many of the various drills of a regu
lur army.
John Edgar Derden in a number “a’
his own", was called back 'to the stag*
thrice, so pleased was the large crowt
with the many witty and iiopulai
.songs, hs well ns amusing puns and
jokes oti members of the audience and
local business firms.
Tb(f finale was a number of musical
selections rendered by a saxaphont
quintette composed of Leland Smith
Dick D’Bannon, Aubrey Smith, Henry
Ball and Roy Ball, with Miss France
Nelson at the piano. Miss Nelson de-
serves much praise as having been
chief factor in promoting the success
of la«t evening’s affair as she has
presided at the/plano daily (luring ov
cry rehearsal and next to those humo
dlutely in charge has been a most
faithful worker. Music wa« furnished
during the Intermissions by the Mor
Ion orchestra.
The entire play was under the su
per vision of Miss Annie Weaver Jones
musical director of the public school*
of this city, and Miss Ethel Cox. prin
cipal of the Junior High School. Eacl’
of the other teachers of the Frankllr
have worked diligently with the v«t
pils also, which accounts for the sue
cess of tlm evening and they are ti
lie complimented for the results ob
tained.
If you suffer backache, sleepless
nights, tired, dull days and distressing
urinary disorders, don't experiment.
Read tills twice-told testimony. It's
Sherman evidence—doubly proven.
Mrs. J. A. Brown, 922 N. Throckmor-
ton St., Sherman, says: “A bail cold
left me with an acute attack of kidney
trouble, which settled in my back and
hips. At times, the pain shot to all
sirts of my body and my head uchcil
lor hours at a time. 1 also had dl/.z)
spells, my sight blurred ami black
specks seemed lo flout before uic.
Two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills,
procured from the Craycruft-Stlnswi
Drug Co. checked the trouble autl gave
ilje liaqk my health." (Statement giv-
en September J, 1912.)
Mrs. Brown said In May. 1913: "The
benefit Doan's Kidney l’llls gave t
has been lusting.”
