CAREY'S CHICKENS"
SUCCESSFUL ON THE SIAGE

II heard one of Billy Sundays most
talked of sermonr in Boston q few
weeks ago. but l found more religion
when 1 saw Mother Carey's Chickens
last night" remarked a resident of
Portland, Maine, of Mrs. Virgins lat-
est play, which has been given to
crowded houses in different cities since
it's first performance in Poughkeepsie,
New York. some weeks ago. The play
is taken from the famous book of the
same name, and those wEo have en-
joved the simple philosophy, the de-
iicious humor, and tender romance of
the book will find it faithfully trans
ferred to the stage. 1t has been said
that the greatest test of the writer's
art is to give plausibility to difficult
or seemingly impossible situations.
Any one who has seen this little
comedy of Ecme" will be tempted 10
believe that it takes a greater art to
present on the written page or on the
stage the things of every day with
such emphasis of the finer shades that
humor and home details are seen to
support genuine feeling and sentiment.
The same rare qualities are to be
found in all of Mrs. Virgins work,
and her latest book, The Romance of
a Christmas Card" continues in de-
mand, even though the season around
which the story centers has passed.

Dandruff Soon
 Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it 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 it, then you destroy it 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 it 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 diss solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it.
 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 idandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails.

The Associated Charities come to the rescue of George Taylor. whose home burned Thursday night.
 George Taylor, a negro, who lived at Fifteenth and Missouri streets was compelled to walk from his nome leaving it in flames, managing only to save an old trunk of very little value.
 Taylor is known as very hard working negro, having worked for some time for the Standard Lumber company of this city. Several months ago Taylor was compelled to lay off working on account of rheumatism which confined him to his home for some time. He then resumed work at the Standard mill.
 Before Taylor took sick he carried insurance on his household goods to the amount of $300.00 which would easily have replaced his loss, but during his sickness he got behind and let his insurance drop thus caus- ing him. to call upon the Associated Charities for assistance, which was very gladly given.
 Taylor stated taat if he was ever sick again, he would under no cir cumstances let his insurance get be hind. Just think. for the small sum per year this would have saved this negro from humiliation, and many others as we'll.
 Now the best thing for you to do, is to insure, your household goods today

Wednesday and Thursday-Montagu
 Love Adds to Fame as Rasputin.

The New York Journel says: "Mon- tagu Love arises to the heights of his splendid career in his portrayal of the greatest imposter tho world has ever known-the men who tumbled over the Russian throne. His acting in the title role in 'Rasputin, The Black Monk the World Picture Brady-Made, which is being presented at the Park theater, is masterpiece.
 "Years ago William Lackay startl- ed theatre-goers with his interpreta- tion of Svengali in 'Trilby.' Montagc Loves Rasputin promises to create as great a sensation. It is a wonderful piece of character acting.
 "Mr. Love's conception of Rasputin lis not the repulsive creature that he is commonly painted. Instead, he makes him fascinating barbarian with a pair of wonderful eyes of such hyp- notic power that one gaze into then, is sufficient to blast the future of any unsuspecting woman. Inasmuch as Rasputin's whole career was dominat- ed by his influence over women, Mr.
 Love's delineation of the role is prob
 ably the correct one. Unquestion-
 ably it is theb est so far seen and is sure to create a sensation everywhere
 as it is doing at the Park theatre
 where the Brady picture was present
 ed for the first time on Wednesday
 night before an enormous crowd.
 "The out standing feature of Ras-
 putin, The Black Monk,' is the excel lent acting. Although MT. Loves
 work is quite sufficient to make tho
 picture big success, he is most abl, supported. The work of Irving Cum mings as Prince Yusupoff. the cousin
 of the Czar, who was either directly or indirectly responsible for the ent
 of Rasputin, is spndid.
 "He, too, has what seems to be thu correct conception of the role. Arthur Ashley, as Raff, the revolutionist, wht was betrayed by Rasputin; June Ell vidge, and his wife; Julia Dean, a. Mime. Zirubova, and Henry Hull, al Kernesky, are excellent.
 \ sRasputin, The Black Monk wa produced under the personal direction of MT. Brady. The photography is con sistenly good. many of the scenes be ing wonderfully beautiful. It is 3 pic ture we'll worth seeing and will un doubtedly enjoy | long run. :"
