THE SOWERS"


 Miss Blanche Sweet is presented at the Strand on Friday and Saturday with her latest picture, 'The Sowers." based on the novel by Henry Seton Merriman.
 Blanche Sweet heads typical Lasky cast In this story of Russian intrigue. Her principal assistants are Theodore Rob- erts and Thomas Meighan. Certainly it would be hard to find in single picture a stronger array of talent
 When we say that the pictures, as a whole will grip your audience, we are referring especially to the excellent work of the cast, for although the theme is thrown against the background of a struggle for political freedom in Russia, 1t must be conferred that, ex- cept for a few early scenes, there is noth- ing profoundly Russian about the atmos- phere of the production.
 It is really an appealing love story, bounded on all sides by convenient" sit- nations.
 But 1t assuredly carries appeal built out of the gilt-edged work of the principals, the beautiful Lasky lighting effects, and careful direction by William c. DeMille.
 The action works slowly toward cli- max, easily recognized and powerful. when it comes. Here Karin Miss Sweetl reveals the hiding place, of important papers which contain the revolutionists' plans. s!.e does so to save her beloved Prince Alexis (Meighan) from further maltreatment at the hands of the secret police.
 Then follows quickly the denouement. Count Strannik of the secret police es- capes With the papers, and goes to a hut where he is to meet the princess, whom Alexis married under compulsion from the Czar. Karins father (Roberts), the girl and the prince follow, and there is a fight in the darkness, the princess being con- veniently killed, while Strannik escapes.
 Then Karin and the prince are free to pursue the course of their love- which had been interrupted by the enforced mar riage of Alexis and. together with Karin's father, they flee the country.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-04-02

Charles Chaplin made new style of mustache. taught it, to rise and fall on a movie screen, and is. drawing s670,0O0 a year for his pains.s He has just signed a one-year contract with the Mutual Film corporation to make one two-part comedy a month, in consideration of $15O,000 advance bonus and $1O,O00 a week.
 If he continues in his frugal habits Charles should be well on the way to millionairedom by 1917. Excepting the flat salary of. $1, 100000 year that was paid John Hays Hammond by the Gug- genheim's. Chaplin's s67O,OoO likely is the biggest salary grabbed off by any pub lie person outside of royalty. The Pres ident of the United States is paid $75 900 a year. The chief justice of the su- preme court gets s15.OOO each of the as- sociate justices $14,5O0. Governor Edward F. Dunne of Illinois, highest paid of all the state chief executives, receives s12,- O0O as does the Vice President of the united States and each member of Pres ident- Wilson's cabinet. Members of Con- gress get $7500; judges of the federal courts are paid even less.
 The 96 senators of the United States dHu the 45o representatives, in Congress receive in salary $3,9S2,500 a year. Chap- lin's salary is nearly r per cent of that vast sum. The supreme court justices are paid s131,00O year--just 19.5 per cent of Chaplin's S retainer. The combined pay of Congress, the President and the su- preme court is $4,1SS, 800. Chaplins salary equals 16 per cent of that huge total. It is equivalent to s3 per cent of the payroll or the Senate, the most powerful legis- lative body in the world.
 But, wildly extravagant as yearly sal ary of $67O,O0O may sound, it falls into it's proper relation in the scale of receipts and disbursements when the profits made out of Chaplin pictures are consid- cred. Recently the premier humorist of the shadow stage made 10 pictures for Essanay, for which he was paid SIS. .OOC salary and a cash bonus of $l00,000, and for the first 21 days theatre use of these reels Essanay is paid $4SS.750 Eight of the 10 reels have been released and are still running-and being paid for daily It rates proportionate to those quoted two are yet to be shown to the public. It would seem, then, that here is case where the laborer Is worthy of his hire.
 Ave it really looks as though Charles earns his coin.

AUDREY"

Tomorrow and Tuesday Audrey" a five-part Famous Players-Paramount feature, in which Miss Pauline Frederick is starred, will be shown at the Strand
 Mary Johnston's celebrated novel gives Pauline Frederick role new for her. that of an unsophistcated girl of the woods. Miss Frederick acquits herself admirably, the principal merit of her act ing here being the right use of restraint in expressing powerful emotions.
 This ability of hers added to the nat ural appeal of the character itself and Miss Frederick's beauty, captures the spectator at once.
 The story is laid in the south, of course. and this makes possible some beautiful settings, in the choice of which Director Robert G. Vignola exercised excellent dis crimination.
 A sleepy river with giant. moss-covered trees reflected in the water. and luxur- iant semi-tropcal undergrowth round- about. needs only Miss Frederick. attired in Audrey's tattered garb, rowing skiff. to make the whole perfect picture.
 There are several of these scenes. and they lend distinct charm.

Why Society Women

Few realize how many society Wom-

cause it is a fad. but because they wish
to obtain the greatest possible hair
beauty and be sure they are not using
anything harmful The thousands who
have found that in washing the hair Il
is never wise to use a makeshift ous
is always advisable to use a prepara-s
ton made for shsmpooing only, say
they get the best results from a
simple homemade canthrox mixture
You can enjoy this, the best that is
known. for about three cents sham
poo by getting some canthrox from
your druggist. and dissolving tea
spoonful in a cup Of hot water Your
shampoo is now ready. After its use
the hair dries rapidly with uniform
color Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are
dissolved and entirely disappear Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its lustre and
softness will also delight you. while the
stimulated scalp gains the health which
insures hair growth.-AdT.
