SOCIETY APPROVES
POPULAR SHAMPOO

Few of US realize how many prom
fnent society women wash their own
hair" says Mae Martyr in the San
Francisco Gazette. This home sham
pooling is not a fad but is due TO the
Splendid results obtained by the use
Of a popular. -quick-drying shampoo9
nanthrox in a cup of hot water.
This simple shampoo fathers free,y
and cleanses perfectly, being equally
good for all shades of hair. It rinses
easily and leaves the scalp refreshed
fiuffy. Dandruff and scalp irritation
disappear Immediately.
"The fact that the alkai in soap
shampoos has been found to cause
streaky, thin, dull hair may be one OF
the rea sons why society women have
taken SO favorably to this splendid
shampoo in order not only to save
but beautify the hair"

Z
Senator Kern Convinced
That House Also Will

In spite of the fact the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections has
ordered a favorable report on the cam
paign publicity bill, 1t is expected there
will be strong opposition in the Senate
10 its passage. 1t will be urged in some
quarters that the bill is not constitu-
tional for the reason that it reaches to
primary elections. But the trainers OF
the bill are satisfied the bill, II passed.
viii pass the muster of the Supreme
Court.
1t is believed, however. that the bill
will be passed by the Senate, and thet
1t will become a law before the end OF
the next regular session.
p Senator Kern, who, with Senators
Kenyon and Sutherland, shaped up the
bill as il is now drafted, is convinced
The bill provides that every candi-
date for nomination at all primary cleo
tons or at general elections for Repre-
sentative in Congress shall both before
and after the primary or the election

House, full and itemized, showing mon
eys received and disbursed. The sources
of all contributions must be shown, and
such statement shall contain true and
things of value disbursed or used by

sentatives.
AS to candidates for the Senate,
sweeping statements must be filed with

COLUMB|A'S BILL,
THE MELTING POT
WELL PRESENTED
Offering of Zangwill's Great
Drama One of Best
of Season.

Back to the stage OF the Columbia.
where it had its first presentation some
three years ago, came THE Melting
Pot" Israel zangwill's drama of Amer
leans in the making, last evening. A
glance at the program showed no long
list of stars such as were present when
the piece had its initial production, but
that was the only difference noticeable.
for the work of the Columbia Players
stood well the test Of comparison with
that of the original cast.
THE Melting Pot" does not belong to
that class of plays which one would
ordinarily pick out to. produce In stock.
It is a drama of ideas, not of action:
the speeches are long, involved, and
complex, and, unless the acting is OF a
high caliber, the effect of the piece Is
sure to be greatly impaired II not
ruined.
But it is to the credit Of the Players
that they made this drama stand out
beyond their other productions, which
have ranged from melodrama to farce
and they forced the lesson Of the great
Jewish author home to every member
of the audience. This in itself would
be a noteworthy achievement-for the
summer stock audience comes to be
amused, not to be taught-but, in addi-
ton. the individual members of the cast
showed their versatility in more strik-
ing manner than they have done this
season.
A. M. Van Buren,, as David Quixane.
the young Jewish dreamer who prates
of 1.-The crucible of nations" and the
melting pot of the world" contributed
the best characterization OF his season
here, In his lighter moments ne was
delightful and he happily failed 10 over
act the more excited scenes, particular
ly the description of the klchnien mas
sacre, where one might readily be eX-
cused for a little ranting: Opposite MN
was Frances Nelson, as Vera Revendal,
the daughter of the Russian baron, VINO
has come to America to help her peopIe.
Miss Nelson manages to infuse large
voice, particularly into scene with
her father in the third act.
Others in the cast whose contributions
went TO make up a delightful mosaic
were Everett Butterfield, as the elder
Quixane: Frederick Forester. as an
as the orchestra leader: Miss Melville.
as the Irish servant girl-whose intro
duction into the Jewish atmosphere was
nothing short of stroke OF genius
and Miss Louise Muldener, as Frau
Quixane. The last named is a new
of otner work as good as she did last
night. II is to be hoped that she will be
retained.
Taking the production as a whole
the play, the acting, the setting and the
THE Melting Pot' is the best thing
that the Columbia Players have done
this season.

Unique Quartet Heads
Weeks Bill at the Cosmos

A unique musical quartet is one Of
the hits of the Cosmos bill this week,
the Guatemala Banda Marimba The
four play on one instrument, quaint
marimba, which they handle with
great skill and technique. Their rep
ertoire ranges from classical operate
to ragtime selections, and all of them
seem to strike the popular fancy.
Kathleen Devote, a Washington girl,
billed as the dancing monoIogist." is
big favorite. Her offerings of stories
and dances is one of the bright spots
of the show. Another good single Is
Tucker" a double voiced violinist who
offers a real surprise. Several we'll
executed violin solos vary and add to
the act.
A dash of comedy is injected into the
bill through the efforts of the Higgins.
Phelps, Kelley Co., in their one act
farce, "Casey's New job" This is
modernized version of an old minstrel
sketch and has lost none OF its laugh
producing qualities. Fraley and Abbott
proved to be a sprightly pair OF sing
ing and dancing condolences.
The bill, on the whole, is well suited
to the summer season, and the theater
is comfortable at all times thanks to
the cool air plant.

VAGADONDS LABOR
UNDER HAND|CAPS
ON OPENING NIGHT
"Trelawny of the Wells"
Artistically Presented De-
spite Drawbacks.

The vagabonds necessarily possessed a
high degree of artistic skill to win their
way to the hearts of the audience al
the Belasco last night in spite of the
many handicaps which embarrassed
them in presenting Pinero's delicious
comedy, "Trelawny of the Wells" That
they did thus win their way was made
abundantly evident by the many curtain
calls which greeted the players at the
end of every act.
While the part of Sir William Cover
is not lengthy one, IT is of crucial i'm
portance. and when at the end of the
first act It was announced that Mr.. Mel
been taken Ill and that Lionel Belmore,
who had already begun a convincing
presentc ton of James Teller, would
double up and render the irascible
Cover also, the audience was prepared
for a much more lame and impotent
characterization than they got. The
real feeling, the genuine ability with
which he read the lines, In spite of the
fact that he had to carry the manu-
script in his hand, won hearty applause
from a sympathetic audience.
The new leading man, Percy Standing.
in the role of Arthur Cover. who turns
play actor to win the hand Of Rose Ire
laWny, made distinctly favorable i'm
preston. The restraint, the finish OF
his acting, together with the necessary
amount of masculine good looks. were
entirely satisfying, and the public looks
forward with pleasure to seeing him in
a number Of plays during the remainder
of the season.
Mrs. Hopkins. as Rose Trelawny DOS
sesses a Winsome naturalness. particu-
larly we'll suited to the part, and easily
deserved the honors OF the evening.
1t Is no easy matter for a good actor
to represent a bad one. The situation
presents an interesting field for specula-
ton If 1t would not be better to secure
lot OF real transformers for the &C.
casion. Charles Hopkins, for instance,
Is very far from being a transformer,
and yet did any son of Thespis ever
really lend himself, in all seriousness,
TO such eXaggerations as Mr.. Hopkins
gave us as Augustus Gadd? Perhaps
so. At all events he made the part
amusing, which Is the end in view.
And in the case of Miss Virginia Pear
son as Avonla Bunn-she will have to
label her costume. IL seems. as inten-
tionally slattern before certain members
Of an average audience will see the
point. AS a bad actorine she certainly
was a good actress.
Allowances must be made for the ac-
cident OF the evening. and this explains
the long waits between acts-particular-
ly the first and second-but doubtless all
will go well for the remainder Of the
week

JANE ABERCROMD|E
Wins PRAISE WITH
HER MARGUERITE
Divides Honors at the Ma
tional With Herbert
Waterous.

Jane Abercrombie and Herbert Wat
erous divided the honors in the
Aborn Grand Opera Companys pre-
sentation of Faust" at the New ma
tional Theater last night Miss Abb
ercrombie made an ideal Marguerite.
She sang delightfully."- throughout and
brought her work to a notable cli-
max in the last act in her singing of
Marguerite's well-known prayer.
Mr.. Waterous, who has been sing
ing secondary roles for the past few
weeks. had a fine opportunity last
night as Mephistopheles. to show the
possibilities of his voice. He made
the most of the opportunity and gave
one Of the strongest and most pleas
ing interpretations OF that role ever
heard here.
Leonid Samoloff had the title role
and handled the part in a mastery
way. The clarity OF his tenor har-
monized well with the clear quality
Of Miss Abercrombie's soprano The
part tonight and tomorrow night will
be sung by Salvatore Sciaretti and Mr..
Samoloff will sing again tomorrow
afternoon.
Edith Bradford sang the part of
Seibel and was very pleasing In her
portrayal of the young lover of Mar
guerite. William G. Stewart, as VAL
entine, was not quite up to the stand
ard he has set for himself in the last
few operas. except in the fourth act,
when he made fine effort in the duel
scene with Faust. Marie Louise Rog-
ers and Jack ONeill completed the
cast as Martha and Wagner. Caesar
SoderO had charge OF the orchestra
The usual full house greeted Faust"
There were many demands for en-
cores OF the familiar gems" of Gou-
mods masterpiece. but inasmuch as
the opera is not a short one, no rep
etitions were given. The chorus show
ed need of further rehearsing, but
on the whole sang the tunefui and
stirring choruses with good effect
