SAXAPHONE QUARTET
 KEENEY FAVORITES

Prominent among the vaudeville at fractions at Keeney's this week is the act of the Darling Saxaphone Four. a quartet of talented young ladies. These clever musicians give most entertaining concert on the saxaph one and interpolate vocal numbers, using several of the popular songs of the day Louis Howe gives a remarkable exhibition as a contortionist and Mar garet Tantzer and company appear to advantage in a singing and talking sketch.
 There are several good film feat- ures for the balance of the week. To- night there will be the latest episode in '"The Mystery of the Double Cross : Tonight. Friday and Saturday, Charlie Chaplin will be seen in ''The Cure." and Owen Moore will make his bow from the screen in "A Girl Like That"

If you were set down in a shop any where with your eyes closed, and asked to tell what kind of a shop it was, couldn't you almost always guess by the aid of your nose?

 ''The Sight Seers'' an entirely new Blutch Cooper burlesque, is packing the Grand theater this week. This is a two-act musical comedy with Q chorus of exceptional beauty, vau- deville of merit and book that is written by Billy K. Wells. a we'll known writer who knows his busi- ness. MT. Cooper personally directed the staging of the production. and and the cast is headed by such comedy stars as Will '. Kennedy and Jack Miller. Kennedy is noted for his true to life ''rube" impersonations and this season is gaining new laurels for his clever work.

 That Undeflnable Smell of the .Apoth-
 ecafy Shop.
 The apothecary shop is another example of a distinctive but unan- alyzable odor. It seems to me that the soda fountain contributes an in- f1uence that dominates that odor but I am not sure. It is certainly a most wonderful blend in which one catches suggestions of coap, of toothpaste. of toiletpowder and the dry vague frag- rance of a thousand drugs Last time I was in an apothecarys shop sniffed so hard and so thoughtfully in an attempt to analyze this subtle odor that suddenly found the clerk looking at me suspic;ously.

urient their top leaves the better they are: therefore it is we'll to plant spring turnips in rich soil If they grow slowly they tend to become woody and bitter.
 Because turnips need moisture it follows that they need freduent cul- ttvation. for much hoeing makes the surface of the ground dusty and saves the moisture in the ground from drying out.
 Turntp rows even in a back yard garden where space is limited should be 16 to IS inches apart to allow the rank teps to spread out and still leave room for cultivation. A half ounce of seed will plant 100 feet of row. Plant the seeds half inch deep. Because of the tendency of spring turnips to lose quality in warm weather 1t is we'll to plant only a small portion of the total bed at once, planting again at intervals.
 When plants are we'll up thin them. so that they stand or inches apart. The immature plants thus pulled out can be cooked for greens.

The Tur1lip.

"on the 14th. day of July, sow your turnips wet or dry" runs the old farm rhyme; but the ancient author of the verse doubtless never knew of the advantages of garden turnips Ah the spring says todays garden instruction from the National Emergency Food Garden commission, with which this paper is cooperating in the effort to make American cities self-sufacient in war as far as veget- able food is concerned.
 In fact you may not only sow your turnips early-as soon as the soil is ready for any crop-but preferably wait for wet day. Damp ground makes the turnip seed sprout well.
 Turnips are one Of the easiest of all garden crops to grow, and they produce abundantly for each square food of soil devoted to them. Give turnips moist soil and cool weather in the spring and they will mature in about 60 days or earlier. The faster they grow and the more lux

News For 7hedtergoers and Women Readers
MISS FAIRFAX TALKS ON FILM ACTING
 

Miss Geraldine Farrar, who will appear at the Lyceum in Cecil B. DeMille's film version of the life story of Joan of Arc, entitled Joan the Woman" recently discussed the differences between the arts of mo- tion and grand opera acting. The picture will be shown at the Lyceum theater three days sAarting Monday, May z, with matinee daily.
 There is something so different about creating role for the camera and creating a part for the opera, said Miss Farrar. "The two arts are not so closely allied as one would think. With the& opera there are weeks of preparation, to be sure, and then comes the premier. It is true that great latitude is allowed on the operatic stage for the development of character and to the broadening of effects. But after all. the fundamen- tals of the performance continue the same in its various repetitions.
 "The past summer has been a revelation to me. For nearly three months many hours every day and sometimes far into the night I have watched the story develop from an idea into a massive production. Il think MT. DeMille has done wonder full things and believe the scenario by Miss Jeanie MacPherson to be a revelation to those who doubt that a long picture must rely on its spec tacular features to the exclusion of it's heart interest. It is true that throughout this picture there are va rious extraordinary spectacles, such as the battle scenes in the siege of Orleans, but one never loses sight of the central figures. her hopes, her ambitions her disappointments and her failures"
 While Miss Farrar was in Cali fornia during the past summer she startled her friends by appearing at the studio one morning with her hair clipped to length just above her shoulders. Her beautiful black locks had been sacrificed to the cause of art: the photograph herewith clearly showing to what length the prima donna went in order the more accu- rately to look the part of Joan of Arc. Popular prices will prevail in this city for the first time.

 A smothered sound, almost like a groan, startled me. and then the door slammed shut.
 ''What was that?" asked IS there any one there"
 My father raised his head. No, there is no one there," he said, See, the wind is rising It must have been that which slammed the door. think I would better shut the window.
 He moved over to the window, which Lillian had kept partly ajar for air, and closed it. Then he returned to my bedside.
 There is one thing must ask you to do my child". he said hesitatingly, ''andy that is to keep secret the fact that instead of being Robert Gordon, I am in reality Charles Robert Cor don Spencer, and your father. Or course your husband must know and Mrs. Underwood. as her husband Is going with me to South America. But should advise very strongly against the knowledge coming into the possession of anyone else.
 T cannot explain to you now why dropped part of my name. or why I exact this promise" he went on. but it is imperative that do ask it and that you heed the request. You will respect my wishes in this matter, will you not, my daughter?"
 It was all very suited. almost melo- dramatic, but my father was so much in earnest that readily gave the promise he asked. With a look of relief he took .. package rom ms pocket and handed it to me.
 Keep this carefully" he said. Tt contains all the data which you will need in case of my death. Rumor says that I am a. very rich man. As usual rumor is wrong, but I have enough so that you will always be comfortable. And for fear that some thing might happen to you in my absence I have placed to your ac- count in the Knickerbocker money enough for any emergency, also for any extra spending money you may wish.
