tion of Season at This The
ater Pleases Large Crowd.

Edward Milton Royles The souaw
Man" at the Columbia Theater this
week. the offering of the Columbia
Players, is the most finished production
yet given by this sterling company. and
weH mciited the applause OF the ca
racity audience which greeted the ini-
tDtl performance. There were no rough
spots. and the play moved smoothly
pnd evcnly during the four acts.
Opportunity Is given for many bits
OF character portrayals, and the CO.
lunibla Players rise In each instance
TO the occosioii and present a truly ex-
cellent performances. The play as given
last night compared favorahly In every
way with the lraversham production
seen here before. There is not the lea st
suggestion OF oyeractIng In any Of the
ehar''cttLs takenJby the Columbia Play
eVery sense of the word.
The Squaw Man is the story of an
English captain. James Wynnegate, who
leaves home and family to shoulder
the blame of an embezzlement OF funds
committed by his cousin, Henry. The
crime is self-confessed, and Jim leaves
Tor Americanin order to shield Henry's
wife, whom he loves. AS Jim Carston,
ranchman, Jim makes his appearance
two years later, and is saved three
times by Nat-u-rich, an Indian girl
Jim marries the girl, and in the third
act. seven years later, Is owner OF q
ranch and lives the life OF a squaw man.
A child is born to the ranch owner
and the news of Henry's death is
brought to Carston. Henry's wife comes
to take Jim back to England, and the
ranchman Is compromised by his posi-
ton in life, but rises to the occasion,
and manfully decides to accept the life
he has mapped out for himself.
Edward H. Robins takes the part of
the Squaw Man and makes a manly,
sympathetic role of the character. Miss
Nelson, a Nat-u-rfch, the Indian
mother, has few lines, but scores heav-
lily In her part. The character studies,
OF which there are many, are taken
care OF In excellent manner by the
other members of the company. Julia

Proper Care of Hair
and Complexion

Cleanliness of the scalp means every
thing in growing and preserving beau
tifui head of hair, as only from a clean
scalp will healthy hair grow. By wash
ing the hair with a teaspoonful of can
throx dissolved in a cup of hot water,
immaculate cleanliness results; scalp
discomfort and dandrun are removed
instantly. the hair dries quickly and
takes on a most admirable huffiness and
luster without any tendency to become
streaky, brittle or harsh.
Any woman who uses n spurmax To-
ton instead of face oowder will have
no occasion TO complain of a shiny nose
or sallow, oily skin. This wonderful
skin whitener and complexion beautifier
Is best made by dissolving 1 ounces of
spurmax In u pint witch hazel (or hot
water) then adding teaspoonfuls g!y-
