MADAME cEcILE" AT APOLLO.

Selwyn and Company present Mad.
m Cecile", the new comedy by Louis
~Anspacher, at Nixon's Apollo Theatre,
this Friday and Saturday evenings and
Saturday matinee.
When DR.. Anspacher gave the the
atre "The Unchastened Woman" a
few seasons back, critics and lovers of
the drama, hailed him as one of Am
er1ca's foremost playwrights and ex-
pressed a certainty that much more
that would be we'll worth while, might
be looked for from him. The new
comedy is the fulfillment of that hope.
Madame Cecile," no matter what
other critics may say of it, will be
sure to attract every bit the attention
as did 1.-The Unchastened Woman
for in it DR.. Anspacher has displayed
the same remarkable technique for
writing that he did in the former sue
cess.
Moreover, in Madame Cecile," DR..
Anspacher has told a story of remark
able interest, through which a set of
characters march, in whom there will
be real, genuine interest for each mo-
ment they occupy the center of Dhe
stage. 1t is, in fact, this power of
characterization, which has made for
so much success in everything that
DR.. Anspacher has written.
For a number of years he has been
one of the best known lecturers in the
United States.
In addition, he has been a teacher,
a preacher and a lawyer. All of them

EVERYBODY'S GUESSING
AS TO "NUMBER ONE

No other motion picture ever has
ing now around the question, who Is
Number One'?", which is the interrOg-
atory title of the serial by Anna Kath-
arine Green, starring Kathleen Clifford,
which is being shown every Friday at
the Strand Theatre.
Number One has become a by
word. Everybody is guessing Mum
Der Ones" identity, and although every
episode of the serial brings new clues,
the question still is unanswered.
who Is Number One" is the kind
of a serial that tells an interesting
story in each episode, so that theatre
goers can pick up the threads of the
mystery end enjoy Anna Katharine
Green's splendid tale even though they
may have missed the earlier chapters.
Every chapter of who Is Number
One'?" contains a thrill" and Kath-
leen Clifford, a dainty daredevil, gains
admirers with each episode. She is
making even a greater success in mo-
ton pictures than was hers as a must
cal comedy star and vaudeville head
liner.
In making who Is Number One'?'
she took an immense amount of pun.
ishment, but after every accident, as
soon as the doctors would let her, she
came right back for more. In a com
ing episode of who Is Number One'?'
she makes a long leap for liberty and
takes a hard fall. In this fall she
broke an arm, and in the following cpl
sode, in order to up her injury,
she carries one hand in a muff or in
her pocket in all of her enc
AS soon as her arm healed she was
called upon to dive from the mast of
a ship while wearing a costly evening
gown. The impact of the water was so
great that she dived right through her
gown and came up without it. Kath-
leen was unhurt, but the gown was a
total loss.

CHAUNCEY oLCoTT AT
APOLLO NEXT WEEK

"Once Upon a Time" the new com
edy in which Cohan and Harris will
present Chauncey Olcott at the Nixon
Apollo Theatre, Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, November IL, 10, IA, mat
inee Wednesday, tells a delightful sto-
ry, punctuated with folk songs, that
Rachel Crothers, it's author, writes so
charmingly and the only Chauncey
sings so Sweetly.
Rachel Crothers it was who furnish
ed Mr.. Olcott with one of his great
triumphs, entitled 1.-The Heart of Pad
dy Whack." Since then Miss Croth-
ers' fame as a writer of plays contain
ing the essential element of heart in
terest has been materially advanced
by Miss Emma Dunn, for whom the
Crothers pen furnished "Old Lady 81"
which is accounted a classic in COM
edy writing.
In Once Upon a Time we are to
see Mr.. Olcott in an Irish-American
character of the whole-souled gener-
Gus type who would part with his last
penny in the service of a friend.
The principal scenes in the comedy
are laid in New York, and it's story
revolves around the hero's efforts to
dispose of a wonderful invention, the
perfecting of which has all but depict
ed the family exchequer.
OF course there is a villain, who, in
the play, all but succeeds in getting
the best of the hero, but who fails in
the end so that the comedy may end
happily as all well constructed come
dies should.
Mr.. Olcott's company this season in
cludes: Edward Fielding, Elmer Gran
din, Miss Elsie Wilson, Miss Jessie
Ralph, Bonnie Marie, and George Bren-
nan.

are occupations which bring n in
intimate touch with the public. They
give a man a keen insight into human
nature and if, as is the case with DR..
Anspacher, he has a gift for writing,
it enables him to present them on the
stage in so true a fashion that they
become something more than mere
figures in a play-they become for the
time, real living, breathing humans in
whose welfare and troubles you find
yourself taking the keenest possible

COUNTY QUORUM COURTS.

Little Rock, Oct. 17.-There seems to be some confusion in the mind of certain icounty officials about the meeting of the county quorum courts. They meet on the fourth Wednesday in October, which this year will be Oct. 24. The last legislature enacted law which will permit the county judge to convene the quorum court in special session whenever an emergen- cy arises. Another important change in the law which will cause the of ficials to watch county finances more closely is that it is expressly de- elared that no county judge can ex- ceed an appropriation for any pur- pose. Heretofore it was possible for the quorum court to appropriate $10,- 900 and build $1OO,0O0 court house. but this is now prohibited. The full amount to be used for any purpose must be appropriated.

SAVE YOUR HAIR
 AND BtAU1IfY IT WITH "DANDERINE"
Spend Few Cents! Dandruff Disap- pears and Hair Stops Con-
 ing Out.
Try This! Hair Gets Beautiful, Wavy and Thick in Few
 Moments.

If you care for heavy hair, that glistens with beauty and is radient with life; has an incomparable soft ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
 Just one application doubles the beauty of your hair, besides it i'm. mediately dissolves every particle of dandruff you cannot have nice, heavy, healthy hair if you have dandruff. This destructive surf robs the hair of it's lustre, it's strength and it very life, and if not overcome it produces fev- erishness and itching of the scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen and die; then the hair falls out fast.
 If your hair has been neglected and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily, get a small bottle of Knowlton's Dan derine at any drug store or toilet coun- ter for few cents; apply little as directed, and ten minutes after you will say this was the best investment you ever made.
 We sincerely believe, regardless of everything else advertised, that if you desire soft, lustrous. beautiful hair and lots of it-no dandruff-no itching scalp and no more falling hair-you must use Knowlton's Danderine. If eventually-why not now Adv.

BERLIN SOCIALISTS
 ARE STANDING PAT

Amsterdam, Oct. IT, British Ad- miralty, per Wireless Press) IA Ger man Socialist newspaper says the So- cialists have decided to vote against the new war credit of 1O,OOO,OOO, ,OOO marks which is to be submitted to the reichstag in December, unless Chan cellor Michaelis resigns.
 Except for the independent Social ists, represented in the reichstag by about 20 deputies who broke away from the party last year, the Socialists have supported the German govern ment throughout the war and voted for the war credits. Detection of the entire Socialist body in the reichstag would represent a serious division, in- asmuch as the Social Democrats and the Independent Socialists combined have 108 seats, a greater number than any other party.

The Vorwaerts of Berlin, the German Socialist organ, declared that the chancellor must go and that the Socialist would oppose him unrelent- ingly

Cincinnati Man Discovers Drug That LoOsens COrns So They Lift
 Out.

Local druggists are having tre- mendous call for freezone, the drug which is said to shrivel corn, root and all, without any pain.
 A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relives the sore- ness at once, and shortly the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out with the fingers.
 This new drug is being dispensed at small cost in quarter ounce bottles, which is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn from ones feet. It is sticky substance which dries at once, and does not inflame or even irritate the surrounding tissue or skin. There is no excuse for anyone invit- ing death by infection or lockjaw from cutting their corns now.-Adv

SHIP EXPLOSION
 DESTROYS U-BOAT

Christiana, Sept. 29.-(Correspond ence of the Associated Press) )-The loss of two German submarines has just become known here. Parts ot one have been found in Kjotvik bay by Captain Odin Berg, fisherman The other was blown up by an explo' sion on board the English ship "Ol i've Branch" while the submarine was lying alongside.
 The Tidings Tegn gives the fol lowing account of Captain Barg's find:
 Captain Berg announced that a submarine lay on the bottom off Kjotvik, four miles north of Hammer fest, and 200 meters from land. Berg thought it could be raised, but the Norwegian patrol boats could not find the wreck and the matter was dropped. Meanwhile, however, Berg has dragged Kjotvik bay on his own account, and has fished up parts of the submarine A private company now proposes to send divers to Kjot- vik and salve it"
 Forty-five men from the "Olive Branch" have arrived at Honnings- vaag. They state that the ship was loaded with ammunition. The u-boat which attacked the sinking ship after the crew had been removed, when suddenly came an explosion, which wrecked the submarine with the loss of the whole crew.
 From Hammerfest comes details of the sufferings of the crew of another English ship, the Hidalgo. All the boats except one were destroyed and two men killed, the remaining 35 men embarked in the remaining boat, which contained good supply of but little water. After 109 hours at sea, the boat reached land, but 13 of the crew had died of exposure.
 Survivors of the English steamer White Coat" have reached F'alken- berg bay after 4S hours at sea in terrible weather. Seven of the P men are in hospitals as result of their experience.
 Survivors of the "Helma" state that the Germans took all the food from their lifeboat, threw their sail over- board and smashed their compass.
