Today-"Sweet Kitty Bellairs,' as reviewed by w. Stephen Bush, is a charming story told about the inter- esting people who lived in p;ctur- esque age. May Murray, the star of the play, finds the part of a very beautiful and lively girl much to her taste. Miss Murray made a dainty, lovable Kitty Bellairs; she was, as the French put it, tires femme" Her girlish graces, her innocent witchery, her sweet roguishness are bound to captivate every audience. The young people will be delighted beyond meas ure of course, but May Murray's rem dition Of the coquettish little beauty will win smiles from the males and females of all ages.
 The ever-conscientious efforts of tke art director, Alfred Buckland, in beautifying pictures and choosing the best possible settings indoors and out doors. are very much in evidence ir this delightful feature. There was 8 variety of those pretty and move lighting effects which help to charac- terize the Lasky school of motion picture art.

Alkali Makes Soap
 Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is just plain null si6ed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or any, thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a. teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, cleanses thor oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
