 Hugh Metcalfe developed all the tall ent he was known to possess, during his long and popular career here, when he portrayed the devilish aristO- crat for the first time last night. Not since he was seen as John Ryder, in '.The Lion and the Mouse" a stern, gruff old financier, destined to be soft ened into a human being by the gentle acid of Miss Higgins part, has the big actor chap had such part as he car ried last evening And. not since he scored strongly in that production, will he have enjoyed such a success as he is sure to enjoy as St. Elmo Murray. As Edna Earl, Auden Higgins has difficult part in St. Elmo. Her Shirley Rossmore", which she handled exqui- sitely. had not the depths nor the
 heights which she reached in the Southworth story.
 A good deal of pains had been taken to make the play real and to stir mem ories of the readers of the novel. Grandad Hunts forge was so realistic that one was forced to cough by the smoke-even the drummer beat indus triousiy on his play anvil, during the rendition of The Forge in the Forest"

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, iifeless
 locks and they become dark,
 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses it's color and lusrre, or when it fades. turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive. use only this old-time recipe
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,'' which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides. it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall ing hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that. besides beauti fully darkening the hair after few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap- pearance of ndance.-Advertise- menr.
