4 SUCCESSFUL REMEDY

All things succeed which really de-
serve to, - which fill a real need,
which prove their worth. The fact
that the famous old root and herb
remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, has for three generations
been relieving dowemn of this country
from the worst forms of female ills
and has won such strong place in
our American homes proves its merit
beyond the question of a doubt. 1t
will well pay any woman who is in
need of such medicine to try it.

NEW SELLING PLAN
STABILIZES GASOLINE
Fuel Administration Changes Prem
ium System at Oil Fields.

A plan has just been made effec-
tive through the United States Fuel
Administration whereby it is hoped
to prevent any radical change in
the price of gasoline and other oil
products. The plan has been per-
fected by the National Petroleum
War Service Committee in cooper
alton with the Fuel Administration
1t has been the custom for va
rious refners to bid against each
other for crude production by pay
ing premiums in excess Of the base
rate for oil as established by the
larger pipe line companies.
The new plan provides maximum
premiums to be paid for oil in the
various fields. 1t arranges, so far
as practicable. for the flow of oil
in existing channels and assures
protection as to prices and supplies
for small refiners. At the same
time 1t will prevent any radical
change in consumers prices due to
the competition which has in
fluenced such prices.

BeIaseo--sForever After.


It was inevitable that the huge asdi-
enee which assembled at the Belasco
last evening should think of Miss
Alice Brady not only as the STAR
and star In her own right-of the re-
markable war melodrama which was
lcarpentered by Owen Davis with an
evident eye for her. own especial and
considerable talents. but as hostess
as well. At the conclusion of an ad-
mirable performance of an unusual
play, cheers as well as applause swept
over the house. and enveloped the
delightful Miss Brady in an aura Of
Enthusiastic approval that was partly
the attestation OF her pronounced per-
sonal popularity, partly appreciation
of her wonderful development as an
actress and partly the reflex of the
play itself.
Miss Brady, It Is clear, not only
! knows play when she sees one. but
knows how to act in one. and the
movies" so far from having warped
the talents which she originally dis
played when she essayed o footlight
career, have given a new accent to
them, heightened her technical pro-
ficiency, and given her mastery of an
individualistic method in emotional
expression.
She played the role of Jennie Clay
ton with convincing skill. She was
called upon for a portrayal OF girllsh-
ness in the first act-a sweet six
teen" type: in the succeeding acts she
gave skillful impersonation of bud
ding womanhood, taking her "over
there" as a Red Cross nurse, and cali
ing for wide range of emotional ex-
preston. She was sincere, convincing,
facile. and at all times ''in charac-
ter" Frankly. no one except her in
innate friends knew that she could
act so well, and she was refresh
ing, an amazing surprise.
Forever After" is a genuine now
city as q war play. In construction
1t owes much to the films: in con-
ception 1t Is clean-cut as a diamond !;
in emotional effects II is. while
frankly melodramatic. enthralling.
In a season of war plays it is likely
to stand far as a commanding box
office proposition. It is so clearly
bound for great popularity that one
can prophesy with assurance.
The cast was one of those richly
satisfying things that are all too
rare in the theater. TED Wayne

In a word. here Is a war play
based upon the recipe that never
fails to, strike the right chord with
the American public-a play in which
youth and love come into their own,
despite the Hun. despite the world
illness of parents, despite all the
hurdles which romance has to jump
before she emerges as victor in the
race-victor in the playhouse. at
least, IL not always in life itself.
