LOCAL FAVORITE IN

Mabel Bert. Who Plays Characte
Woman. Well Known Actress.

Mabel Bert. who will be seen AS Ma"
Bascom in Turn to the Right at the
New National Theater New Years week,
has played 80 many sweet old roles that
she says she would be lost in any other
kind Of stage work.
Last season she was seen a. the dear
Miss Pritchard in Daddy Long Legs"
at the National and she has been here
many times as the mother in Ben Hur "
Recently while playing the role Of Mrs.
Bascom in Turn to the Right!' in New
York during the absence of Miss Chester.
who created the part there, q new assist
ant stage manager made the criticism
that Miss Bert's wig wasn't as conyinc-
ing as that worn by Miss Chester. There
was a laugh from everyone within hear
ing for as the manager gently explained
Miss Berts wig was her own beautiful
white hair. -
Miss Bert Is distinguished not only for
her dignined stage presence but also for
her silvery sweet voice. When a young
girl she was often advised to leave the
dramatic profession for the opera stage.
but she even then declared that some
day that lyric voice" would stand her
In good stead when she was playing old
ladies'. The prediction came true and
that same lyric voice now brings many
a tear when as Ma Bascom, the silver
haired woman. pronounces a benediction

BeIa.co-Annette KeIIermnnn

Starting tonight, and with a matinee
today. "A Daughter of the Gods" 9TH
Annette kellerTnann will begin the Bec-
ond week Of its enga cement at the Be-
lasco. The Grand Opera Orchestra which
accompanies the picture has proven a
big feature. There will be performances
each afternoon and each night during
the week.
This beautiful fantasy might continue
here for weeks il one judged from the
attendance, which gives promise Of
eclipsing anything in the way Of patron
age in this city in years Those who have
seen the wonderful picture appreciate
why this should be so.
1t is due to the genius ard patience OF
William Fox that "A Daughter Of the
Gods was made possible. for those about
him were discourag ged, due to the op-
position that was met with in the way
Of hurricanes, floods, plaques and earth
quakes.
1t seemed that on the island at ia
maica that Mr.. Fox took over for the
purpose of production all the elements
seemed to Vent their spite: but he rebuilt
the moment after nature destroyed and
1t seemed that after 4 long battle the
elements gave in TO this mans Job-lIke
patience and persistence. In the face of
all these drawbacks, he erected from
barren land a magic city in its creation
Where pestilential swamps held sway a
city Of minaret-topped palaces. quaint
bazaars and imposing edifices took their
place.

Proper Food

A change of diet is very essential for dogs suffering from skin complaint, and there can be no question but that large number of these cases are really brought about by unsuitable food Ladies are the great offenders in this regard, and in many cases it seems almost i'm possible to persuade ladies that the giving of all sorts of unnatural foods to their pets Is a cruelty and not kindness. When a dog has skin complaint let him be put at once on the plainest of plain foods. Give him some coarse brown bread and water, with little raw meat. Raw meat is a natural food for dogs, and brown bread will keep their systems in order; while, with regard to drink, in- stead of giving them milk and things of that sort, let them have water. Plain food, and not too much of it, is essential to successful treatment of dogs with skin complaint. So, too, is exercise, the more exercise a dog has the better, and then regular grooming. Nature intended the coats of dogs to be a protection from cold especially those of the long-haired varieties, and the more outdoor exercise and grooming they get the better dogs are as regards their coats and their skins. It will suffice to point out here that in the treatment of skin complaint plenty of exercise and plenty of grooming, to- gether with plain food, are essential to success
