OLD TIME FAvoRITE LOSES
NONE or IT'S POPULARITY
The Ever Popular Prince Of Piissn
Pleases Good Audience

Although It has been on the
boards longer than some Of Us e
member, "The Prince Of Pilsen' Is
still one Of the topnotchers, noth
from an audience and a box Office
view point.
The Perry J. Kelly offering Of the
'ePrince Of Pilsen" was show COM
plete in every respect and showed
the finishing touches SO often lack
ing in shows Of this kind. The lions
share of the honors were carried off
by Walter James, Marie Baldwin
and Ella May Bassett. These three
performers were in excellent voice
last night and their numbers called
forth vigorous applause. Of course
Charles Horn, as Hans Warner, the
Cincinnati Brewer came in for the
big honors in g comedy way, ard his
song s'In Zinzinnati" was big hit.
Take it altogether, "The Prince
Of Pilsen" is a show that you wish
you had seen, when YOU hear about
it the next day.

PURITY

Purity is a picture play Of rare
charm, 'of exquisite beauty and Of
superb entertainment. It unfolds 9
story, based on q poetic idyll, that
is as powerful as it is startling. Il
carries one back thousands of years
to the day when ali life was in har-
nony with nature itself; when all
was pure and virtuous; when human
minds were unframed and bodies
unadorncd. Passing thru the times
of ancient Greek mythology, we see
the unfortunate Pandora release
Evil upon earth with all the conse-
ouent strife and sorrow. Again, as
times GOES on, we come to modern
society with all its false morality.
Powerful in its arraignment of
mawkish prudery; singing in its
rebuke of false social customs,
sPurity" will strip your mind and
heart of all deceptive ideals and
leave in it's place this golden
thought: Mature, unadorned, is es-
sentiallv pure and beautiful"
This picture viii be shown at the
Arcade on Monday.

My Heart" Olivier Morosco's
charming play of love. romance,
which playgoers will have the pleas
ure to view here for the second
time at the Evangeline Theatre, on
next Thursday, February 18th, one
is forced to the conclusion that J.
Hartley Manners, the author Of this
gem, because Of the simplicity Of
his theme, has found the keynote Of
the public's desire to be entertain
ed. The intense interest Of his play
is in its pointed dialogue and the
frank unfolding Of his skillfully
drawn characters.
Mrs. Chichester, her daughter
Ethel and her son Alaric, Of un-
questioned position and friends with
the aristrocracy Of England, are
dumbfounded on June morning
to learn they have been reduced
form affluence to direct poverty by
q failure of a London bank. They
are of the type Of snobs to whom
loss Of wealth means social ostra-
cism.
While her mother and children
are taking over their misfortune.

headed, elfinish, chit of a girl; hez

LITTLE MARY SUNSHINE

The play starts in a cherries,
hope forsaken room in tenement
in the slums. Little Mary seems to
have been neglected when the joy
Of life was distributed, for her
mother has a sorrow and a weak
heart, and her father taste for
drink and a strong temper. Father
comes home in pretty bad shape and
frightens mother, whose heart stops
for all time. He then runs off, leav-
ing little Mary all alone. Some nei-
ghbor tells Mary that Mothers
gone to Heaven" and Mary, who
was fond Of mother, starts out to
hunt her up. She gets tired, though,
after while, and creeps into a
standing automobile, where she
covers herself with the rug. There
she is found by Bob Daley, who,
having celebrated with the boys and
been turned down by his fiancee
therefore, is returning home more
sober each minute. Bob's parents
take care of the tyke, who, after q
couple Of baths, something to eat,
and a romp in the garden, displays
such an inclination to agree with
life that she is promptly rechristen-
ed Little Mary Sunshine" She has
the most wonderful dream about a
bear, and works with Bob's dad to
bring about a reconciliation between
Bob and his best beloved.

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY. SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its Natu-
raj Color, Gloss and At
tractivenesS.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove revela-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound at any drug
store all ready for use. This is the
old time recipe improved by the ad-
dition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your. hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just damp
en- sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luXuriant.
This preparation is a delightful toi-
let requisite and is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.
