HAUBER THEATRE.

 Brilliant and attractive Alice Brady is coming to the Hauber theatre on Thursday in Darkest Russia," the most remarkable feature issued since the start of the war. .The feature is so very remarkable because it shows the pre-revolution conditions in Russia with such absolute truthfulness and forecasts the fight and coming victory of the liberty loving people.
 Miss Brady's role in this great pie ture is especially appealing. She DOT trays the character of a young musi- clan who is called on to play "God Save the Car" before a big assembl- age. She refuses to do so and as the result is sent to Siberia. The manner in which she becomes an agel of mercy to the other exiles and the manner in which she finally is reunited to her lover forms an intense and entertain ing play. Darkest Russia is releas- ed by the. World Film corporation.

Try Thi. If You
 Have Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruf completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it en- tirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon :; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisfen the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not ali, of your dandruff will be gone, and three pr four more applications will completely dis- solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find, too. that ali itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair i!, will alt. be e.a auy iusttreus hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store.> :: It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail.

 Pine Bluff, May 7, 1917. "Editor of The Daily Graphic, City.
 Dear Sir:-This is to thank you and the judges for their kind con- sideration in the Buy at Home essay contest. I also wish to thank the manager of the contest for the way in which it was carried on.

 Third Prize Winner C0l0red.
 The winner of the third prize of $5 proved to be co1ored boy-Joshua Bivens of 1613 West Second avenue. This discovery serves to further em- phasize the fairness with which the contest was conducted and the awards made. The identity of the authors was not known to the judges, who passed on the essays according to the merits, making awards by number. The incident also serves to show what education is doing for the negroes. Joshua's essay was not only good enough, in the opinion of the judges, to win third prize, but it was one of the few type-written essays submitted, and rouuirod little 61itinp
 The winner of the second prize of $10 was Bernard Simon, whose essay was printed in The Graphic on April 15. Young Simon's paper was con- sidered by many the best published up othe time of the announcement of the awards.
