Rivals Her Daughter
In Youthful Beauty

A well-known society matron
whose youthful beauty is so well
preserved that she is regarded as
her daughters rival in this respect
though she does not pose as such
attributes her girlish complexion
chiefly to two things. She says:
Il am convinced that many cos
metics, by overlooking the skin and
pores. tend to age the complexion.
MercOlized wax has just the oppo-
site effect. 1t Keeps the pores
clean. permitting them to breathe.

and which give the complexion that

cream, for a week or so. washing 1t

ANNA PAvLowA DANCES

The Pavlowa Ballet. Inc. made Its ap.
pearance at the Metropolitan Opera House
last night. A frivolous person might as
sune that the letters "Inc." stood for
incorporated Legally this may be
true. Those who saw last nights per-
formance will swear that the letters stand
for "lncomparable," and they will be
right. At II o'clock, throwing all thoughts
of committing trains, street cars and
mathis to the winds the spectators forgot
themselves far enough to demand a repe-
titlon of the "Gavotte Pavlowa." A quar-
ter of an hour later they demanded an
encore of the famous "Bacchanaie." The
house was crowded, the spectators highly
appreciatve end the ballet was perfect.
Something of an innovation was the
appearance of the members of the COM
pany in evening dress, albeit not modern,
clothes. The dances in this costume were
of today, and many hearts beat faster
at the prospect of being able to dance
as NJ. Clustlne dances or Mile. Svirskaia.
But the finest things in the program were
those dances in which artificiality Is car
ried to its perfect extreme. Where no
emotion. but grace alone enters. Such
was the "Puppen-Fee" and some of the
advertisements. But to pick projections
out of perfection Is quite useless.

COLD NORTHUMBERLAND

Philadelphia accorded its customary
generous welcome to Denman Thompson's 8
"The Old Homestead" which was pre-
sented by capable company at the Wal
nut Street Theatre last night. Several
persons who have been playing the same
parts in the piece for many years ap-
peared In the cast and added in n great
measure to the success of the play
There is probably no stage production
which creeps into the hearts of Philadel-
phia audiences as does THE Old Home
stead" 1t Is for this reason the house
was crowded last night. and 1t Is safe
to say at least half of the audience had
seen the piece many times before.
Edward t.. Snader, as the familiar
"down-east' farmer. Joshua Whltcomb,
easily found favor with the audience by
the capable manner in which he portrayed
the lovable character of Uncle Josh"
Mrs. Maggie Breyer, as Aunt Matilda,
acted with a grace and motherly charm
which captvated every person.
Harry Robinson and Charles H.
Clarke. who interpreted the characters
Of Cy Prime and Seth Perkins. were al
ways I'm high favor. Without these two
venerable actors no production of 1.-THE
Old Homestead" would be complete. They
have played the piece for so many years
they are a part Of it. and in consequence
their work is of the best.
The other members OF the company
acted In manner creditable TO the char
acters they interpreted
The old New England story will never
grow too old for sincere appreciation. The
double quartet which is always a feature
OF the piece, easily sang its way into the
hearts of the audience.

The dance is the thing. II matters not
whether the lines mean anything or
whether the music is catchy or original
Just sprinkle about literally lot of de-

This was evident last night at the open

Doctor Thorne as those undesirable in

Stella Mayhem, as Adelaide Fontaine, Is

their debut in Philadelphia yesterday at
