FACING THE music
PROVES POPULAR
At THE COLUMBIA
Audience Well Pleased With
Players Presentation
J. of Old Comedy.

The Columbia Players romped through
the infectious comedy farce, Facing
:he Music" last night In a way that
made IT feast of mirth. The ancient
comedy was a vehicle that brought
out more talent from the players than
anything during the summer season,
and there was a freshness about the
way the mellow lines were handled and
"a crlspness in the fun of the situations
winch rocked the usual Monday audi
ence with laughter.
: Miss Carrie Thatcher was charming
as Mabel, the curate's wife, Miss
lNellson did excellent work as Nora
ana A. H. Van Buren, made ''the other
Mr.. Smith" screamingly funny char
acter at every entrance. Everette But
Ierneld was an attractive Dick Des-
Ihond' playing the congenial character
surely and with real individuality But
george w. Barber, as pompous Ser
geant Duffel, was the strongest laugh
Ter stimulant of the evening
Many Of those who saw Henry E
Dlxey tool Facing the Music" to in
slant success went TO see 1t in stock
prompted partly by curiosity. And they
were not disappointed. The personnel OF
the company fitted perfectly with the
caste, and the parts had been distribut-
ed with excellent judgment.
Mis- Emelie Melvill, as the servant,
and Miss Jessie Glendenning, as the ac-
tress, went through the story with in
souciant merriment and careful skill.

CHANGING Her FACE
(From the Household Friend)

ANY woman not satisfied with her
complexion can remove it and have
new one. The thin veil OF stihing
half dead cuticle Is an encumbrance
and should be removed to give the
fresh, vigorous young skin under
meath a chance to show itself and to
breathe.
There's a simple old-fashioned home
remedy which will always DO the
work. Get an ounce of pure mercoliz-
ed wax from your druggist and apply
It at night like cold cream, washing
il off in the morning. The mercolide
will gently absorb all the lifeless SKIN
and leave a healthy and beautiful
complexion, as fresh as a child's. Nat
urallv IL takes with It all such facial
blemishes as freckles. tan, moth
PATCHES, sallowness, liver spots. pim-
pies, etc. 1t is pleasant to use enec-
tive and economical. The race so
treated Immediately looks years

Both Arkan- sas senators voted against Lorimer, however, while Tlllman of South Car olina and Thornton of Louisiana, both Democrats, voted 10 seat Lorimer.
 Upon the conclusion of the roll call and the announcement of the result, applause was heard from the galleries, while on the floor Senator Lorimer's friends hastened to tender their congratulations.
 Senator Lorimer did not vote be- cause of his interest in the case, and Senate. Taliaferro was in his seat. but did not respond to his name The vote of Senator Cullom, Mr Lorimers colleague from Illinois. was awaited with great interest. Both sides had claimed him. He voted for Lorimer
