"A World Of Pleasure"

The world OF Pleasure" musical
company, which appears at the Grand
opera house this evenig, gave a per
Torrance in Burlington last evening
of which the Hawk-Eye has the fol
lowing:
The IS. r. O." sign was displayed
early at the Grand opera house last
evening putting everybody in a hap
py frame of mind. Especially the
manager, who has not had many OPP
portunities for displaying that sign SO
dear to the heart of the Snowman of
late. The people came from many
neighboring towns, all the Burlington
patrons were there and some who
would have been there did not arrive
because1they failed to negotiate for
seats in time.
A World of Pleasure, is one Of the
New York shows which are gotten up
especially to relieve the tired business

he can feast his eyes, where he can

There is an astonishing number OF

lions of approval and calls for encores
were the rule.
OF course, there was a vast array OF
pretty girls, clad in most becoming
costumes, and the scenic arrange

There was plenty of fun, and If the
tired business men go to see that
show in New York and then go home,
no doubt they must be ready for an
other day of the hardest grind in the
morning. For whatever else they
may have done. they have given their
minds the required rest. AS "a little

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much a1kali,, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain null
SIZED cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. Its very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonfu1 is all
that is required. It makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-With the

In the last three days there has

President Wilson and Secrs.a-y

secrecy.
The president, admitting that he
does not yet know what action he
will take, has told no one. with the
possible exception of Colonel Hnuse.

At a conference between the presi-
dent and House yesterday, the two
discussed the question of the presi-
dent sending a further peace COM
munication either in formal diplo-
matte style or as confidential mes
sage through American diplomats
abroad What if any decision was
reached is another secret. Despite
official silence, however, there has
been a sudden and vast amount OF
information forthcoming from
"somewhere"-and that somewhere
is suspected to be "Teutonic circles,

"The Heir to the Hoorah."
A comedy to amuse the Riddles is
included in the Grands program for
Saturday. when the feature of he
program will be Lasky's perturbation
of the : famous comedy-drama The
Heir to the Hoorah." Here's a story
OF the old-time, really thrilling west
ern type with as many complexities
as a New York society comedy.
Thomas Meighan and Anita King are
co-stars in the photoplay, which was
written by Paul Armstrong, and as
dramatic sensation, played on
Broadway for more than one. solid
year under Kirk LaShelle's manage
ment.'
Lasky has given this Paramount
picture the superb mounting and at
tention to detail that always charac-
terizes his photoplays. In "The Heir
to Hoorah" there is comedy and
drama to please the most exacting.
VIM. s. Hart gives one Of his usual
powerful characterizations in The
Dawn Maker" at the Grand Sunday
night and there is a truly funny Key
stone farce, Dollars and Sense, IN
which Joe Belmont is featured.-Ad-
