BEST THEATRE.

Today-Peggy Hyland, the beautfai
and accomplished photoplayer, will BE-
seen again in fine Greater Vitagrapa
feature, "The Enemy" This photo
play is based upon the novel of thu
same name by George Randolph Ches-
ter and Lillian Chester, which has
been read by million people When
the story was published serially in
Hearst's Magazine. "The Enemy" WITH
it's deep human appeal, will be hailed
as one of the most powerful produc-
tons that Vitagraph has ever pre-
scented. It deals with whiskey, the
enemy to one man, the mans fight 20
down it, of his victory, of his down.:
fall through the perfidy Of a woman
who wanted him and would rather
ruin him than let another woman have
him, and it shows in a most graphic
way the fate of the man when he
realized that his ene..1y had downeo
him once more. Charles Kent, James
Swayne Gordon and other Vitagrapl
favorites have leading roles in this
production.
Tomorrow-One of the most diff
cult tasks ever undertaken by the
I4asky company was the securing o.
types for its adaptation of "Oliver
Twist, which will be the Paramount
picture at the Best theatre with the
charming Marie Doro us Oliver, sup
ported by an excellent cast.

In the evening at Mercy hospital you
hear from all over the house the little
bedtime voices, and the sound blends
into something sweet and dear which
hardly forms itself into words. To you
who have not heard it, it would seem
the strangest sort Of music, coming
from all the wards and rooms and
balconies around you-on the lower
floor, on the upper, and sounding up
and down the stairs wherever you
might be. 1t is just the quiet little
chatter Of many, many children
ready for sleep, and the doctors and
nurses have heard it every night for
20 years, and they wonder why tits.

Besides the interesting theatrical
scenes the play has number of other
very striking and dramatic parts. At
one plada the playwright, broken and
mentally unbalanced over the death
of his wife, plunges from a boat and
is rescued in a spectacular manner.
Another particularly striking part OF
the play is the appearance on TIL
screen of an allegorical vision. The
evil one tempts the theatrical mama

spirit appears strikes new and
unique note in picture making.

Sure Way To Get
Rid OF Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff 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 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 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 all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a 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.
