~ NovemBer 17, 1923. SJAZZING ROUND THE WORLD. | (Continued from page 2.) Here endeth my chronicle of. Kenya Colony. I left a cheery, warm-hearted optimistic community with great Lepr: and with a hope that after our tour of the world I Imay be able—with my confréres—to return there. Our visit was somewhat damped by the death of Mrs. :«Greswolde-Williams, wife of our host, whose kindness was ;alluded to in a previous article. Just before this occurred He Had Found Out lthat a certain variety artist—not in our company—was ‘temporarily ‘‘up against it.’ Mr. Williams gave him a : fifteen-guinea gramophone for his little boy, and a hundred pound cheque for himself. He and his family gave us what we valued just as much—their hearty good fellowship, ' abounding hospitality and an assurance that we had added new and valued friends td an ever-widening circle. * * * I am writing this letter on board-ship, bound for Bombay. lIn my next letter I may have something to tell you about _the voyage. ' x . * * Arrived at Bombay. Blimy! ain’t it ’ot! (as David Balfour’s soldier remarked when he put his hand on the ' sun-seorched rock.) Pr | MAIL-WEEK IN LONDON (Continued from Page 10.) ; The official responsible for the administration of _ Bottomley’s affairs in bankruptcy has since obtained an 1 interlozutory injunction against the further issue of the | diary, so let’s hope that will finish the incident altogether. Norman Lindsay’s Art. | A representative exhibition of Australian Art has been opened to-day at Burlington House by H.R.H. the Duke _ of Connaught and shows every sign of becoming one of the biggest attractions of the “‘ little season ’’ just beginning. : The cause of it all is the inclusion of several canvases by Norman Lindsay, all of them said to outdo Doré and his compeers; which on arrival a few weeks ago were held up _ by the Customs, resulting in quite some screaming from the housetops by our artists of the ultra variety. You may get some idea of Norman Lindsay’s opinions from the fact that in three of the pictures now shown here he has sought 1 to ‘‘ pose the pale nihilism of Christianity against the pride of body and spirit.’’ From what we are told, the accent should ‘be on ‘‘ body ’’; yet at the same time it is impossible to withhold praise of his wonderful imaginative and dramatic gifts, his masterly draughtsmanship and command » of the palette. He has illustrated editions of Petronius, > Rabelais, Casanova, Boccaccio and Villon—the literary gods of his cult—and there we shall perhaps find the key to his philosophy. A New Russian Troupe. At the Scala Theatre a Russian Cabaret troupe working on exactly the same lines as the unforgettable ChauveSouris, are regaling us with a dozen artistic esquisses. They call themselves the Blue Bird Company, but have no , affinity with the famed Belgian poet. M. J. Yuzshny is a _ delightfully inconsequential and witty conférencier. ‘‘ Head Over Heels.” I have also been to see ‘‘ Head Over Hecls’’ at the Adelphi, but was not at all impressed by it. What one can admire though is the way the performers do _ their damnedest to make you overlook the weaknesses of the plot and music by exerting every nerve, trick, wile and artifice they can muster to add brilliance to their efforts. Arthur Pusey, who went to South Africa to play Dick in the film of ‘‘ The Blue Lagoon,’’ here makes his début on the musical stage—he is a very acceptable recruit. Mabel Sealby is very dainty and saucy as a Cockney clowness. And W. H. Berry is—W. H. Berry, convulsing the house with his lightest word and rolling the most expressive eyes in British theatredom.

ENDURED SEVEN YEARS OF AGONY AND THEN OBTAINED INSTANT RELIEF BY TAKING De WITT’S PILLS GOOD ADVICE FOR EVERY SUFFERING READER. OU can easily tell if you have kidney trouble, for as soon as your kidneys become weak they allow uric acid to escape into your system, and the hard acid crystals cause aches and pains such as :— Backache or Lumbago Pains in Shoulders or Loins Groin Pains or Sciatica Swollen Joints Aching Muscles or Stiffness. At first there may be just sharp twinges of pain, but if you neglect these or employ wrongful treatment, you may soon become helpless and crippled hee Mrs. E. Samuels, of 77 Regent Street, Aberaman, who suffered for over seven years before she heard of De Witt’s Pills or realised that her sufferings were due to kidney trouble. days. Guarantee A box of the genuine De Witt’s Kidney and . Bladder Pille will only cost you $/6 at any chemist shop, and we invite you to get a box and take them regularly for three ys. If they fail to give convincing proof of their ability to cure, you simply return the remainder of the pills to The De Witt Laboratories, $1 Loop Street, Capetown, and we will refund your $/6 and your postage, so that the trial will cost you nothing. ‘‘Sometimes when trying to do my housework,” writes Mrs. Samuels, ‘‘ terrible pains like a knife cuting into my back would make me faint and helpless, and I have often stood still in the street, feeling I dare not move another step. I had become weak, ill and depressed when I heard of De Witt’s Pills, and I scarcely thought they would help me, but they quickly gave me relief, and in a few days I was cured.” Let Mrs. Samuels’ case be a warning to you. Consider the cause of your ailment for a moment, or ask your doctor, and you will realise that so long as your kidneys remain weak and inactive your rheumatic tioubles cannot be cured. Embrocations cannot reach your kidneys, but De Witt’s Pills can, and if you will be persuaded to get a box from your chemist to-day, you will obtain instant relief, and in a few days your trouble will be cured. — Two More Triumphs for De Witt’s.. FROM NEWLANDS. ‘‘For 8 years I suffered with bladder trouble and pains in my back,’’ writes Mrs. C. Ackermann, Governor’s Lane, Newlands, ‘‘and I was laid up for weeks at a time, but, although other remedies had failed, De Witt’s Pills soon banished all the pain and restored my health.” FROM MATTABAS. “I can honestly recommend De Witt’s Pills for rheumatism : and backache,” writes Baron 0. Cederstrom, Ilopewell, P.O. Mattabas. ‘* I have used them myself and recommended friends, and_ excellent have always been obtained.” From all over the world people write in the same strain testifying to the efficacy of De Witt’s Pills, and from time to time we publish, by permission, extracts from these letters so that suffering readers may benefit by the experiences of others who have been cured.
