WEDNESDAY 'EVENING, APRIL 28, 1920 SPRETTY BABY® HAD: MANY ‘CUSTOMERS AT GRAND THEATRE Don Lanning, Chief Funmaker of Show; Makes Decided Hit at Grand Don Lanning, chief comedian of “Pretty Baby” the musical comedy which showed at the Grand theatre last-night, was the whole show and he kept the audience which witnessed the performance in a continuous rip- ple of Jaughter. Many times the rip~ Dle broke into a roar as the infectious funmaker performed some particular- 1y amusing antic. There was little semblance of a plot to the show but it could be call- ed an eight act vaudeville bill. The remainder ,of the characters in the cast merely served as a background for Lanning whose humor proved to be irresistable. The chorus was ex- ceptionally good being made up of ‘youth and beauty accomplished in song and dance. The costumes used were both clever and lavish and at times scanty. Without a comedian of the calibre of Don Lanning the show would have Yost its value. He has everything necessary to make a comedian. He can dance,.he can sing and he has the expression which seems to re-- flect humor. The manner in which Te carried out his part made the au- diencé feel that he was performing for his own personal fun and not for the money there was in it. No spe- cial mention need be made as to any certain act. in which he starred. Ev- ery. move he made was closely fol- lowed by everyone in the audience and every act a feature. Jean Gaynor as leading lady, show- od remarkable talent and was well received by her auditors. Tom Wil- liamms as Mr. Morris displayed ex- «ceptional talent in song but gave too much stress to the “stagey” talk in “his part and was not well understood at times. The quartette numbers met with ‘hearty approval and the selections rendered showed well blended . har- monious voices. The whole bill was mmade up of catchy songs which go to make well satisfied ‘customers’ as Lanning called those present. ¢ Northwgltern News :CATTLE BREEDERS MEET TADAY Faribault, .

In Ne- braska as always where there has been any test of popular approval of Wood’s candidacy, he has run first or second, yielding first place to John- son only in Michigan and Nebraska, where he was a close second,. defeat- ing all other candidates. . But the New Jersey and Ohio primaries are coming next Tuesday and Indiana on the following Tuesday, where there will be a different verdict. The primary vote was: ‘Minnesota—Wood, 12,627; John- son, 8,517; Hoover, 4,481;* Lowden, 3,5610. South Dakota—Wood,’ Lowden, 25,701; Johnson, Poindexter, 990. Michigan—Johnson, Wood, 83,747; Lowden, Hoover, 41,544, \Wisconsin—LaFollette, 7,389; Wood, 2,156; Hoover, 1,612; John- son, 912; Lowden, 326. Illingis—Lowden, 222,982; Wood, 158,101; Johnson, 45,583. Nebraska—Johnson, 24,416; Wood 18,805; Perghing 12,521. This is a wonderful demonstration of the nation-wide interest and earn- est approval of the American people in favor of Wood’s candidacy. In all parts of the country, in all sorts of places, among all sorts of people, his candidacy is strong ‘and his showing will mean his final indorse- ment in June at the Chicago con- vention.

E. Proctor, of 717 W. First St., Los Angeles, Calif., when speaking of | the splendid results she had obtained from the medicine. “To think that I should have suffered for so many years, and spent hundreds of dollars in vain efforts to get relief and then find complete relief after taking only four bottles of Tanlac, seems too good to be true.” : “Yes, indeed; for years and years I suffered terribly from stomach trouble. Everything I ate seemed to form gas and so affected my heart and breathing that I would have pal- pitation and would turn purple in the face.in my efforts to get my breath. These attacks caused me intense suf- fering and were so bad that I was frequently confined to my bed and would have to be attended by some member of the family for fear I should succumb during one of the attacks. 3 “] got awfully thin and was so weak that I had to give up all house- hold_duties: I often went for two weeks at a time without getting a good night's ‘sleep--and as a conse- quence became very nervous and low: spirited.

It consisted of small splin- ters of wood with tips of some substance that burst into flame when rubbed on a rough surface. If you can procure some of them for me, I shall be grateful.” It was many years after matches were generally made in Europe before they were seen throughout America.
