BILLIE RITCHIE AT THE PALACE
"AF1'ER HER MILLIONS"

It's here! after Her Millions" the
widest comedy riot that ever was per-
mltted to escape from a producing
studio. It's all jammed into three reels
"tnree reels of hilarious fun while
billie Ritchie, Pathe Lehrman and Ger
trude selby are on the screen.
Billie Ritchie is one of Natures own
comedians In fact 1t is to laugh when
one merely looks at him. Those feet
those clothes, those grimaces! When
Billie Ritchie is slammed head-on into
three reels of rib tickling, side-split-
| ting and ack-breaking comedy, it's
time to draw the curtain
II a shame to subject laughter-lov-
ing souls to such a strain upon their
+slSsitnS organs, but it's too late now,
! ana the Universal can only apologize
IN advance for the cracked ribs. As a
let me die laughing"
what's it all about? Billie Ritchie
| only knows. 1t starts somewhere and
ends somewhere, but just what's be-
| tween even those who, doubled up in
| their seats, try to follow the plot can
not tell It's one of those comedies
whefe, squlnt-eyed with laughter, you
try to follow the next grand slam and
throw your head back, only to miss the
not tamale finale which sends YOUR
neighbor into Mysteries. It's the sort
or comedy scream which makes the
lady in the next seat put her handker-
chief in her mouth. And the sort of a
tricky face cracker which causes said
lady like lady to explode the next mo-
ment, while the tightly wadded hand
kerchief is elected and hits the bald
headed man in the front row a terrific
slap on his glazed dome. See Billie
Ritehie in After Her Millions in ad-
tisement.

USING SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very spar
ingly, If at all. If you want to keep
your hair looking It's best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub 1t in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather which rinses out easily. re-
moving every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive OIL The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and
1t leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous.
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsitied cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, and few
ounces will supply every member
of the family for months,-Adver-

STORY RITEN'
BY the Messenger BOY

Commuters are animals from the
country that come to town to make
their bread and butter and keep the
wheels of life movin, They are both
mail and femail, of all ages, sizes col
ors and dispositions-but mostly sweet
from livin in the country.
Commuters in Harrisburg are a very
big tribe that come and so whenever
the whsle blows mornin and night.
They come between seven and eight
O'Clock, or thereabouts, from north,
east, west and south, by steam, elee-
tric, gas, or hoof-power to work in
the skyskrapers and factries of our
charmin city, bringin the fresh breezes
ana brains OF the country districts to
keep things movin here.
They plug away all mornin, eat a
donut at noon, then work some more
til p. m. and carry their WEAKNESS
back to wence they came to sleep and
get some more refreshments for the
mex days labers. Commutin is a con-
tinooal round of plesure with varia-
Shuns of eatin, Sleepin workin, ridin
in the cars, and enJoyin life.
Harrisburg commuters live in River
side, PaXtang, Sibletown, Lemoyne,
Enola, Highspire, Penbrook, Dauphin,
West Fairview, Linglestown, Punkin-
vile, Camp Hill, Rockville, and all up
and down the Lebanon valley, and tho
Cumberland, and along the nobel Sus-
quehanna. Some live in cottages, farm
houses bungelos, or tents, and almost
all have hot-and- cold water, bath, and
electrick lights, telefone and back
yards-in fact, all but the smoke and
street cleanin, the same as Harris
burgers have.
A commuter breathes steam heat
in the city and then fills up on fresh
air while he's sleepin in the country.
He gets up at 4.30, goes out to milk
the cows, feeds the chickens, car
ries slop to the hogs, pump tree tubs
of water for the old lady, then eats
his breaSfus and runs for the car.
When he gets back in the evenin, he
does his chores again, then pulls off
his shoes, eats supper and begins to
snore.
A commuter is on the jump all day,
therefore enjoys life, and knows how
to count his blessins. He lives in II
house with q front porch all around,
where he can sit in the evenin and
watch the stars and the fireflies. and
feel the gentil breezes softly BLOWN in
his ears.

force. Motorcycle officers get many
hurry calls in month. One of the
two men who answer these calls is
Paul G. Schelhas. He is q newcomer
in the police business, but since his
advent as q city guardian of the peace
has won many laurels for special duty.
Motorcycle officers are supposed to
get on scene of a riot or fight at
once. This sometimes brings these
emergency officers into lively mix-ups.
Paul Schelhas has had his uniform
badly torn, has been beaten up and
was once put out of commission in his
efforts to break up a fight. He is re-
ferred to as "the young officer with
the iron nerve" One of the thrilling
experiences of this attache was in
stopping a runaway on Front street
and saving the life of boy.
Paul g. Schelhas was born March
IL, 1886. He was educated in Har,
risburg public schools and started
work when a boy at the Harrisburg
shoe factory. For q time he was clerk
In the shifting department at the
pennsylvania Steel Company and was
employed as repairman for the Elliott
Fisher Typewriter Company in New
York city. He was appointed a patrol
man by Mayor e. S. Meals, March Q.
and was retained by Mayor John K
Royal. Because of his exceptional
ability in getting on the job he was
made motorcycle officer During a.
Vorable weather motorcycle officers
ride over the city three times each
day.

Although "Robin Hood" is twenty
three years old, and Reginald de Koven

the first time that he has lent his name
to any company presenting his operas.
The de Koven Opera Company, headed
by Ivy Scott of the Century Grand

and evening, and, radical as it may
seem, Mr.. de Koven is authority for the
statement that the vocal balance and
caliber of the present company, suits
him better than did the original Bos-

that in those days there was certain
amount of catering to the comedians
