The Arnorer's Faith

TT LOOKS very much as if Amer
L lea owed Grace Georges produc-
ton of Bernard Shaw's remarkable
comedy, "Major Barbara"-after 10
years of lying fallow on the book
shelves-to the Great War. For
the portions that American audi
ences have found most interesting
are undoubtedly the remarks of
Andrew Undershaft, munition
maker. Here is the faith of the
armorer as Undershaft explains it:
To give arms to all men who
offer an honest price for them,
without respect Of persons or prin-
ciples; to aristocrat and republl-
itaiist and Socialist, to Protestant
and Catholic, to burglar and police
man, to black man. white man ana
yellow man, to all sorts and condi,,
tions, all natlonalities, all faiths, all
The first Undershaft wrote up In
his shop: "If God gave the hand.
let no man withhold the sword"
The second wrote up: All nave

heaven the victory" The fourth

1Rl group of three plays OF exceptional
weight and magnitude. on which the reputa-

was first established and still mainly rests
The first of the three. completed in 1908,
the authors 47th year, was Man and Su-
perman." which has never been performed
in its prodigious entirety in America, nor
in England until the present year The
second. John Bulls Other Island" fol-

demands on the audience, but the demands

theatre exhausted. but felt the better for
It and came again. The second act. the Sal

garded in that way. It may be said to be the
most successful Of all the authors plays.
The possibility Of using the wooing OF a
mans soul for his salvation as a substitute
for the hachneyed wooing OF a handsome
young gentleman for the sake OF marrying
him had occurred TO Bernard Shaw many
years before, when. in the course OF his
campaign for Socialism. he had often found
himself on Sunday mornings addressing
Socialist meeting in the open air in London
or in the provinces, while the Salvation
Army was at work on the same ground.
He had frequently. at the conclusion OF his
own meeting. Joined the crowd around the
Salvation lassies and watched their work
and studied their methods sympathetically.
Many OF them sang. with great effect, songs
in which the drama of salvation was pre-

between a brutal and drunken husband and

HEART OF JENNIFERU
 IS GREAT PHOTOPLAY
Miss Hazel Dawn, i'll Title Part Enthrals Audiences at the
 Royal Theatre.

Previous to her appearance in Tine Heart of Jennifer," the latest produc- tion of the Famous Players Film com pany, on the Paramount Program, now at the Royal, Hazel Dawn had ap- peared three times on the screen, in three vitally different types of imper- sonation, and each time adding appre- ciably to her rapidly growing number of admirers. But in "The Heart Of Jennifer" she combines the qualities that distinguished each of her former character creations, so that this role may be termed her most complete screen success to date.
 The plot of this strong five-part fea- ture from the pen of Edith Barnard Lelano is novel and compelling. Some of the situations are startling in their originality, and taken as a whole the
Bisbee daily review., 1916-02-11

story is unconventional and refresh ing.
 Miss Dawn, appearing in the title part, renders a captivating and win some characterization of Jennifer. The role itself calls for a complete com prehension of dramatic art, and Miss Dawn interprets the character with evident understanding of it's many possibilities.
 James Kirkwood directed the pro0- uction and appears in Miss Dawns leading support. Russell Basset. as her father, and Irene Howley, as the sister of her husband, offer splendid support to the star.
 It is conservative prediction that after her appearance in The Heart of Jennifer" Miss Dawn will be conceded place in the very front rank of i'm portant stars of the legitimate stage who have transferred their talents to the screen.
 The subject will remain at the Royal today and tonight.

Pandruff Soon q
 Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for 1t will starve your hair and ruin 1t if you don't
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve 1t, then you destroy 1t entirely. To do this, get about four ounces Of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when re- tiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub 1t in gently with the finger tips
 By morning, most if not all. of your dandruff will be gone. and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of 1t.
 You will find, too, that all itching and .digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails.

 Mir and Mrs Brown left Fl Paso Sunday afternoon on the Golden State Limited for California, and. when he bade goodby to his friends, he was in perfect health. The trip to California was a business one and was to last only a few days.
 News of MT. Browns death reached the office of Garnett King, general passenger agent, after g o'clock Wed nesday morning and the information was received with COTTON and surprise in all the departments, as MT. Brown had shown no indications of declin- ing health. Mrs Brown was with her husband at the time of his death. but as yet none of the particulars of the last illness has been received in Fl PaSo. MT. King stated that IL was likely that the body would be accom- panied here by MT. and Mrs. Eugene Fox. vho were in Los Angeles on their honeymoon.

ARIZONA LEADERS ARE GETTING READY FOR
 BIG CONVENTION
Men of All Parties Interested In Selection of Delegates Who Will Be Chosen for St. Louis and Chicago Meets.

PHOENIX, Feb. 10.-Both of the old parties are lining up for the 1916 pres sidential race in Arizona. It is consid- cred probable that the Democrats will again hold district primaries for the selection of delegates to the St. Louis convention, while the Republicans will probably choose delegates at a conyen- tion to be hald in Tucson about April. Chairman Kibbey of the Republican state committee expects to call meet ing soon to fix the time and mapner of selection of delegates. A meeting of the Democratic committee is sched- uled for some time this month. The Republicans are in favor of holding q convention at either Phoenix or Tue son.
 There is no dearth of candidates on either side. All of the Democratic federal office holders would like to go to St. Louis. Governor Hunts admir- CTS think that he should head the del egation but the governor does not want to get into the presidential fight.
 Here is a slate prepared by prom inent Democrat at the capital: George Stoneman, Phoenix; J. s. Douglas, Douglas; Nose Drachman, Tucson; Mulford Winson, Yuma; J. J. flaw kins. Prescott; Andrew Kimball, Thatcher. If district primary IS held, it is probable that there will be several contests. Reese M. Ling wants to be national committeeman again.
 On the Republican side, there are few candidates for delegate to the Chi cago convention who have come out in the open. Here in Pima, Judge Campbell and Tom Dichey have been mentioned in Phoenix, Judge Sloan and Dwight B. Heard are spoken of. In Prescott E. s. Clark and Judge Frank O. Smith are being considered. Fred s. Breen of Flagstaff would like to go as well as Tom Maddock of Will Hams. The latter is secretary of the state committee and an avowed Hughes man.
 Down in Cochise, Charles A. Over lock and John Mason Ross would both like to go. MT Overlook is for an un- instructed delegation and is inclined to favor Hughes. M. E. Cassidy may be the Republican National Commit teeman, succeeding Ralph Cameron.
 In Nogales, A. H. DeReimer has been spoken of as either delegate or an alternate. Ph. Freudenthal will probably be the choice of both Gila and Graham counties for delegate to the convention. He is one of the best party workers in that section and has never held public office.
 In case the Republican and Pro gressives get together, Captain John c. Greenway of Warren would probab- Iy be the favorite of Progressives for a delegate to the convention.

ENGRAvINGs WEAR OUT.

Nearly all private library books to- day are extensively illustrated and mostly with half-tone engravings. These plates being made of copper, wear out rapidly.
 Purchasers of a new work always win in the matter of perfect letter press as we'll as price and up-to-date material. The time to buy a standard work is when it is new. Always make the salesman show the copyright date and don't be influenced to buy an old out-of-date publication with indistinct illustrations from worn out engrav- ings.

TO CLEAR
 A PIMPLY SKIN
Pimples are Impurities Seeking an Outlet Through Skin
 Pores.

Outlet Through Skin
 Pores.
 Pimples. sores and boils usually re- suit from toxins, poisons and impuri- ties which are generated in the bowels and then absorbed into the blood through the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body.
 It is the function of the kidneys to filter impurities from the blood and cast them out in the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels ere ate more toxins and impurities than the kidneys can eliminate, then the blood uses the skin pores as the next best means of getting rid of these im- purities which often breaks out all over the skin in the form of pimples.
 The surest way to clear the skin of these eruptions says a noted au- thority, is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot water each morning before breakfast for one week. This will prevent the formation of toxins in the bowels. It also stimulates the kidneys to normal activity. thus coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing 1naIskin af pirnples >, gisIad. $allssis Inexpensive. harmless ;hd is made from the acid of grapes find lemon juice, combined with lithia.
