THE STRAND

Within the Law" was shown on the screen in the Strand theatre last night to most appreciative audience and won an ovation seldom accorded a motion picture play.
 It Is the picturization of Bayard Veiller's celebrated melodramatic stage success and unfolds the-story of Mary Turner, the little shop girl who Is railroaded up the river" for a three year stretch for something she dd not do. How she is released and seeks vengeance on society and espe- cially on Glider the department store owner who lis instrumental in caus- ing the arrest and bringing about the conviction of the girl is thri1lingly told. t M
 Alice Joyce, a screen star of re- nown portrays in her inirnitable man ner the role of Mary Turner, the shop girl. Miss Joyce can we'll be proud of her wonderful Interpretation of this role which has cen played on the speaking stage by such brilliant stars as Jane Cowl, Margaret Ellington, Helen Ware. Emily Stevens. Clara Joel and Catherine Tower. With mo- bile, and expressive features and with unusually effective gestures, Miss Joyce portrays the sorrows and vic- tories of Mary Turner in a me st con vincing manner.

PLAZA

We saw Mary Pickford's latest screen triumph at the Plaza last night. It is entitled "A Romance of the Red woodsf, and we noticed that Cecil B.. DeMille was mentioned as being di- rector. A combination that might suggest synonym for the plural of genius. Mary Pickford and Cecil B. DeMilie ! tn | nding their efforts to the success of motion picture. Each seeking to outdo the other in the re- spective lines and the spectator the profitse, if there is such.
 The story of play carried us back to California in the days of first rush for gold, we believe it was in '49. It is quite different both in character of play and in method of construction to what charming Mary Pickford has be- fore given her talents, but we think it is her best work for it serves her as a means of establishing her dra- matic ability and not simply her pre- dominating winsome that appeals so to the young fol--s. It is the type of play that men and women of all akes as well as. children of all ages will appreciate, and, as we intimated before, it is credit to both Miss Pick ford and MT. DeMille.
 In conjunction with the Pickford attraction Is an 0. Henry Story enti- tied Rolling Stones.'' Here's pie ture that struck as being one that should demand the admiration of those who relish Limitation of whole some literary gems.

To Keep the Face
 Fresh, Clear, Youthful

More important than the cosmetic care of the complexion is it's physical care. To keep the face clear, fresh, youthful, there's nothing better than ordinary mercolized waz. It absorbs the soiled or faded worn-out skin particles. Cosmetics simply add un- wholesomeness to the complexion. That's the difference. By all means, acquire the mercolized wax habit. It's so easy to get an ounce of the wax at the druggists, apply at night like cold cream and wash it off next morning. There's no detention indoors, the old skin coming off so gradually no one suspects you're using anything. When in a week or two the a1luringly youth full, roselike underskin is fully in view well, you won't want, or need, a makeup complexion after that. It must be apparent that this process means complete riddance of all cu- taneous b1emishes, like freckles, pim- pies, b1otches and blackheads.
 For a wrinkled, loose or saggy skin, a face bath made by dissolving an ounce of powdered, saxolite in a half pint witch hazel, surpasses massage cream and everything else for re- sults It's action is instantaneous, and perfectly harmless. It improves fac ial contour wonderfully.

New Method Removes
 SuperHuous Hair Roots!

Have you tried everything" for that annoying hairy or fuzzy growth and about given up in despair? Well, there's just one thing more to try, and you. must try it, because it is the one home treatment that reaches the very root of such troubles. The new pro- cess is not to be compared at all with depflatory, electrical or any other method you've ever heard of. It is different because it actually removes roots and all-you see the roots with your< own eyes.
 Just get stick of phelactine from your druggist, follow the simple in structions, and if 1t doesn't do exactly as stated you can have your money back without question. Phelactine is odorless, non-irritating, and can be used with entire safetp-you could even eat it with impunity It is an instantaneous method.

BOYS FROM LOCAL SCHOOLS
BREAK FOR THE FARM

A number of boys from the local
high school have been given leave Of
absence for the rest of the school
year for an opportunity to assist in
farm work in response to an appeal
recently sent out by Governor Cox.
Most of the boys will work on their
fathers land and there will be keen
rivalry to see which one can aid in
helping to raise the most corn to the
acre. They will no doubt, put into
practice the agricultural aid they
have obtained under the direction OF
Leroy Jenkins, head of the manual
training department, and of the num-
who will return to school in the fall,
will have much to tell of their work
and it's results. Several on the list
are seniors and the others are fresh
men, sopnomoIes and juniors. They
will be- ,,iven credit for their work.
The list is as follows: Stanley Yam

PROHIBITION WAVE HITS
OLD new YORK
Conservative Sun Turns Bat
terieS on Alcohol.

New York-The Prohibition wave
in the South and West has hit this
metropolis. Prohibition is dis
cussed in clubs, business houses, and
hotel lobbys. Even the newspapers
do not hesitate to declare that it is
not impossible for Prohibition to
overwhelm New York City. Some
mornings ago the entire city gasped
on reading the following in the Sun
which has never been considered
friendly to Prohibition:
"King Alcohol's record is sorry
one. Wherever his commercial ex-
ploitation has been undertaken-and
where has it not "a story Of
wretched villainy has been written.
The custodians of his business inter
ests have shown themselves ready
always and everywhere to ally them
selves with the worst elements of the
community. Wherever a direputable
den needed friend one of the Kings
fatuous men was sure to volunteer.
Wherever conditions became so bad
that community rose in wrath to
abate intolerable nuisances one of his
court was at hand to combat cleanli-
ness and bolster up vice. Wherever
weakness and ignorance gave some
little sign of striving for better
things some retainer of this arrogant
monarch was at hand to stifle it. Not
bad cause lacked support from his
well-stuffed Golfers, not good
movement enlisted their assistance.
Corruption has recruited its first
lieutenants, its captains, its generals
in chief from his train; every oppor-
tunity for dirty work has been seized
by them greedily; every indecency
Of business, of policies, of humanity
at large has been bolstered and up
held by his retainers."
