EMMETT CORRIGAN IN
GREAT DRAMA FOX'S

TO lay down ones life for ones
friend is an easy heroism compared
with the sacrifice which inspires the
story of "Greater Love Hath No
Man" Varge takes the guilt of man
The does not love on his shoulders.
Why does he do it? Every one be-
lieves him innocent, even the judge
and the jury who condemn him on
the strength of his own confession.
Despite his repeated assertions Of
guilt, the rumor of his innocence per-
Vades the Denitentiary. He endures
his punishment stolidly until love en-
ters his cell. Then he breaks Jail and
well, it all ends happily. This is a
story of surprising interest-it grips
you, enthralls you, and holds you
spellbound. All this is explained in
Frank l.. Packard's novel story en-
titled "Greater Love Hath No Man."
which opens this afternoon a two day
engagement at Foxs and in which
Emmett Corrigan, the disting uished
dramatic star makes his screen debut.
In conjunction with the above
dramtic gem the latest chapter of
The Romance of Elaine' and an eX-
cellent comedy will round out a two
hour performance that is par excel
lence. There are but two or three
episodes yet to be shown of this in
teresting serial story, and as we en-
ter upon the closing chapters the in
terest gains and there is much specu-
lation as to the outcome OF this serial
which is a sequel to "The Exploits of
Elaine" and Fox patrons who have
followed this story should not miss
the last few chapters and receive a
m otion- picture treat that will be re-
corded as the finest administered to
the theatergoirg public in many
moons

| Miss Pierce threw back her head
and laughed.
MY dear no cold cream makes

the advertisement that proclaims it's
virtue in that respect tells the shining
truth. The massage may stimulate
hair roots bit but as for the cream
acting as an inducement to the
growth of hair, that's a fallacy. But
how the cold creamers do cash in on
it! 1 wonder why milk dealers don't

do you know why? Because ammon

off the outer skin layer, and with it

Cold creams are divided into two
classes, the vanishing cream, which
has glycerine as it's base, and cleansing

Doesn't a greasy cold cream make
a naturally oily complexion more so -
I asked.
No Oil in the skin is secreted by
an oil gland into an oil duct for the
purpose of keeping the skin from
cracking and breaking. If there is too
much oil it is because the oil glands
are abnormal, but rubbing oil in from
the outside is not going to affect the
output of oil by the glands.
Money Mas .gcd Away.
ooh, its mostly humbug. you see,
and it all comes down to what / said
before, that cold cream is merely
vehicle for massage. I'll tell you the

man who works several good hard
hours for a dollar or, two and then
sees it the next day on his wifes dres-

worse still on her cheeks in little
round pink spots.

Anne Pierce Deals Death Blow

Dr. Wieys Fright Hand Man" Describes Use OF Cos

her Miss Pierce, l believe.

she's right bower and the joker in

with Dr. Wiley about all the things
that later they boost or discourage.
Great American Farce.
Anne Pierce, besides having brown
eyes, has red cheeks, and that may
be the reason she feels SO strongly
about cosmetics. But of course that
reason is only mplimcntary to the
real reason-which is that she knows
what She is talking about. FOR cos

worth two cents to them and probably
cost very little more than that.
cold cream, YOU know, has very
little value except for the massage
that comes with it. And think how
much it costs, seventN-five cents ana
one dollar for a small jar! Plain old
theatrical cold cream at so or 50
cents a pound would be just as good
though of course it doesn't come with
violets all over the lid and a sweet
smell. But there is sort of theatre
cal cold cream that has nice, cool

Skin Food Never Was.
81 said the message was the only
value, but there is, too, the softening
of the outer skin. But feeding the
skin? Nonsense. There's no such
thing. Skin food can no more be ap-
piled externally than can muscle food
or nerve food, There was a court de-
cision on that once and the court de-
clared that a claim to feed the skin
externally was a false claim and that
the firm was guilty Of fraudulent rep
resentatiOn.
Nov, it may be all right to use
pink dyed stuff to become beautiful,
but a much surer way is to dig in the
garden or sweep the house with the
windows open. Beauty may be skin
deep, but skin depends upon what's
