At the Orpheum

In glancing over the choice Keith
plums supporting the -Four Marx Broth
ers and company in their pretentious
musical comedy at the Orpheum this
week. one can t overlook Van and
Schenck, the monarchs of song, who
seem more popular this week than ever
before. Van and. Schenck are two
young fellows, who have splendid voices
and the happy faculty of infusing an
originality into their work, that brands
them quite unique from any act of the
kind we have seen. Whether they are
harmonizing In new hits or old favor
ties, Van and Schenck always score a
hit rock solid on account of their fine
melody and pleasing manner in the
rendition of their songs. One of them
is a piano player of marked ability and
his partner is comedian. If the song
is a comedy number, Gus Van makes
the most of it and wins the laughs
without any ridiculous makeup. Gus
Van is a real comedian and he doesn u
need 'em
This duo is popular in every city
where high class Keith vaudeville is to
be found. And they are especially popu-
lar in Harrisburg. Despite the fact
that the Orpheum s bill is unusually
clever and therefore eliciting much ap-
plause, it can be truthfully admitted
that Van and Schenek walk away with
the bills big noise. They are singing
all the songs that goes with their new
act and up to the present time Orphe-
um audiences have demanded all their
encores at each performance. The Four
Marx Brothers and Company in "Home
Again with a company of sixteen and
four distinct stage settings, rs the
most pretentious act the Orpheum has
seen. Incidentally, it is the most clever.

USE COCOANUT OIL
FOR WASHING HAIR

Ii you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. just plain mulsifed
coeoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better
than soap or anything else you can
use for shsmpooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky. bright. fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified coeoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.
