There are many women who, when
cold weather approaches, put on ar

wrong, of course, both for beauty and
health. Some Skins are sensitive to

BIG COMPANY COMING
AMERICAN THEATER
BELLINGHAM

Irving Berlin's international syn
copated musical success, entitled.
Watch Your Step" which broke ALL
of last seasons touring records for
musical entertainment, will be pres
ented at the American Theater in
rockingham next Friday, Dec. :, for
one night.
Everyone associated with the pro-
dlction of Watch Your Step" has
won an enviable fame in their part
;cular field, and this musical play is
described as their joint masterpiece.
Mr.. Berlin, who has given tic pub
lie some of the most prolific LIZ
Ii rs the modern stage has known,
formed an idea that a musical show,
written wholly in syncopated time,
wolld catch the popular fancy of the
atregoers. He sliced upon the idea
with enthusiasm, and not long after
completed the score and lyrics. Then
the book was intrusted to Harry B.
Smith, and none could have made
better selection. Then came the sell
ection of men and women to stage
the play. The most noted were sec
ured Mr.. Dillingham; commissioned
Leon Bakst to paint the production,
r. H. Burnside of the New York Hip
podrome to produce it, and Helen
Dryden, designer of all the covers
for Vogue" to design and furnish
the costumes. The trio was given
carteblanche. The result was suffic-
lent to give theatergoers a distinct
surprise.
1t was the first time that a rag
time musical play had ever been Off
cred for public approval. That it was
a genuine success is proven by the
fact that it played in New York near
ly an entire season, in Chicago for
three months, in Philadelphia for
three months, and in Boston for three
months There are rs in the cast,
including the famous English pony
ballet, and the Levidski Russian dan
GERS. There is no question about
this being the most stupendous mus
ical comedy organization that has
ever been sent to the far West by a
New York producer.

who hears or reads them? Yet this

that might accomplish much in deed
and action. A lack of skill in the use
of these tools of thought may serve

for in peace times Germany is over
run with soldiers,
There were no young men to be
seen, of course, nor even middle
aged men. But there was no univer-
sal spread of mourning in wearing
apparel, for, although practically ev-
cry woman in Berlin had seen death
enter her family at least once, and
the majority of them had felt its bit
terness many times. yet little black
was worn. There was no appear
ance of universal sorrow, either, al
though there was a deeper gravity in
the air than before the war.
The amusements kept up, although
no musical comedies were billed. The
cinematographs kept open only from
to p. m. so as to save the light.
The price of admission at the cheap

about a quarter. One heard no pop

grand opera performances were CIV

they had were rather dispirited.

These things are typical of what
