ty? In fact, many are leading ladies
just because of their attractive locks.
Inquiry among them discloses the fact
that they bring out all the natural

putting a teaspoOnful OF canthrox
which (they get from the druggist)
in a cup Of hot water and applying
this instead of soap. This full cup
of shampoo liquid is enough SO it is
easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead OF just the top OF the head
After its use, the hair dries rapidly
with uniform color. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely

LOVE SMoOTHES THE WAY
Erich Man, Poor Man." At Polls,
Has Dramatic Romance.

Love finds a way to smooth many
difficulties in Erich Man, Poor Man."
which is the Poll attraction this
week. The play is made up OF four
acts filled with surprises and the
story tells of the plight of Bah, who,
when a baby, was left by her dying
mother in the care of a Mrs. Tilney.
An old gentleman by the name of
Mapleson, who boards with Mrs. Til
ney, becomes much attached to the
baby.
when Bah has reached the age of
sixteen, Mapleson has grown to love
her as his own. His greatest a nbi-
ton is to have her wear diamonds
and pearls and be very happy. In
order to accomplish this he FORCES
letters and papers which smuggle
Bah into the home of the rich Peter
Reeston where, for a time, she lives
as q long-lost member of the family.
This disagrees with the plans of
DeCourcey Lloyd, Beeston's son-in-
law, who for a monetary considera-
tion induces one of Mrs. Tilney's
bOarders to help him prove the forg-
cry. Bah is returned to her former
surroundings, but not before she has
become engaged to David Lloyd, heir
to the Beeston millions. She renews
her friendship with Bayard Varick,
another boarder, to whom she had be-
come attached before her social ele-
walton.
The rest of the story concerns her
decision as to rich man or poor man,
and the fate OF the good MIR. Maple
son.

sweet sixteen" role Of Bah admir-
ably, and William P. Carleton took care
of the Varick part Howard Lang

Mr.. Mapleson with telling effect. J.
