Belasco.

To Mss Frances Starr. the wonderful
Young actress who last night at the
Belasco theater created the title role
of 'Marie-Od0e in Edward Knob
1auch's new play, must be given credit
for a success that stamps her versa
tile star of the 6rst magnitude. Her
creation will stand as one of the most
beautiful woman characterizations of
rhe stage. Mr.. Belasco himself, in a
brief speech following a great volume
of continuous applause after the second
act. admitted he WIS prouder Of her

The bill at Keith's Theater this week
is one of all-round excellence, at least
five of the numbers being close to-
gether in the matter of popularity and
applause. Arthur Printc, ventriloquist
who mas been seen here before, pre-
sents something fresh in the way of
stage settings and amusing chatter. A
clever bit of good acting, singing and
effective stage setting is offered by
William Burr and Daphne Hope in "a

warmth of her love. Beyond these her

New National.

Miss Billie Burke returned to Wash

Theater in a. new comedy by catherine
Chisholm Cushing in four acts, entitled
Jerry" Miss Burke is 'Jerry-dl-
minutive for Geraldine-a mischieVous.
hoydenish young thing from Chicago.
who, on a visit to Philadelphia, falls
in love with a man old enough to DC
her father who has been engaged for
twenty years to her aunt. HOW sne
captures him, the manner of her Whlri-
wind but childish wooing and the far
cical situations that develop are the
story of the play.
Miss Cushing has written a play that
as a drama seems one act too long but
as portraiture or study of developed
character is a we'll rounded whole.
When Jerry. by pretending in the
third act to take poison, brings to her
arms the man she loves. the play IS
over, but the fourth act informs every
one in the audience who is in SYM
pathy with Jerry what becomes OF
her in later years. and as almost every
one in last nights audience was IN TINS
category the result was pFobapiJ salis-
flying.
There isn't dull moment in the play.
No matter how severely it may be nee
essary to strain the imagination in the
second act to accept as plausible the
possibility of man Identifying one
woman's voice among a number over u
telephone, it. is not until long after the
curtain is down that this faise note IN
the song of the machinery is fecaileu.
Again, in the third act, when the man
Jerry loves comes so suddenly to her
arms after having previously repulsed
her. one is inclined to wish that there
might have been Il circumstance or Il
speech to render this love ma-'ng more
convincing But these items are slight.
and as they make no lasting impress
sion an entertaining evening Is al
forded.
In Jerry Miss Burke has a play that
suits her exactly, and. apparently, the
other seven parts in the comedy suit
those who support them to a dot. Miss
Selene johnson is Joan Doubleday. "a
and Miss Alice John is Harriet
Townsend, the worldly and unsympa-
thetic mother of Jerry. These two con-
tribute what sentiment, unmiNed with
laughter. there is in the play, the aunt
in the first act, when she brings out
some of the tragedy in the lives of
women who wait years for promised
men to break down the barriers of
lenS engagements, and the mother. in
the last act, when she takes to her
heart the child, Jerry, whom she has
never cherished.
Selley Hall is Montague Wade. the
man Jerry loves and wins from her
aunt: H. Lawrence Leyton is Peter
Flagg. a Kansas Cityan, who borders on
the Anglo-maniac. but is d comedian
and not farceur. Minor parts are

Tidal Basin Gates Tempered With.

Notices have been posted at the in
let and outlet gates of the tidal basin
in Potomac Park. giving warning that
any person found tampcrinS with tho
mechanism of the gates will be prose-
cuted to the extent Of the law. The
gates are operated automatically by
the tides and their mechanism is COM
plicated and costly. Recently it was
found that some one had been tamper-
ing with them and II has become nee
essary to guard them more carefully.
1t is believed that the mischief Was
done by boys with no intention of
wrecking the gates. II was by good
luck only. il Is said, that no serious
damage resulted.

Sure Way to Get
Rid of DandruH

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruT completely
and that is to dissolve 1t. This de-
stroys 1t entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain. or
binary liquid arvon: apply 1t at
night when retiring: use enough to
uoisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Ry morning most. If not all, of
YOUR dandruH will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and entire
ly destroy every single sign and
trace of 1t no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too. that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop Instantly. and your hair will
be fluffy. lustrous. glossy. silky and
soft. and look and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. IT is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.
