"DoN'r LIE TO YOUR WIFE"

III Campbell B. Casad. the author of
Don't Lie to Your Wife" which will
be seen at the Odeon Theater Sunday
evening hadn't been arrested for speed
ing his automobile, that merry semi
musical farce would never have been
written. Like all newspaper men when
cornered in some complication, he has
made the most of the opportunity, as
rapidly as the complications of a hui
morous nature occurred to him. The
author while waiting for a bondsman
jotted them down. weaving them ulti-
mately into one of the best farces that
has been offered to the theatergoins
public in a long time.
The scenery is the same model as
used in the four months run at the
Whitney opera house, Chicago, and is
rich and snowy. The supporting cast
are all competent farceurs and types
prevail, and not the least interesting
to the ladies will be the quality of
gowns exhibited during this engage
ment.
There are specialties and musical
numbers introduced during the action

chorus who have received much press

This Frees Your Skin
From Hair or Fuzz
(Toilet Tips)

The method here suggested for the
removal of superfuous hair is quick
and certain and unless the growth is
extremely stubborn, a single application
does the work. Make a stiff paste with
some powdered delatone and water; APP
ply this to the hairy surface and after
about minutes rub it off, wash the
skin and the hairs are gone. To avoid
disappointment, be sure your druggist
sells you delatone.
