---------1------ BEST THEATRE,

"Magda,' the first production of Clara kimball Young's own company, was presented at the Best theatre yes terday and again today. In playing the role of Sudermann's heroine, Miss Young undertakes part which has been portrayed by both Duse and Bern hardt. And she does well with it. She successfully overcomes any tempta- ; tion to play up the purely pictorial possibilities of the part and presents it in it's dramatic strength. The theatri- 1 callv effective secenes of the story represent Miss Young's best screen acting.
 As for the play and it's suitability for screening Mazda was one of the leaders of that vast army of heroines who slammed the deor and walked out, l out into the night to lead their own i lives.
 Margaret Turnbull has adapted the 1 drama to what are evidently con- sidered the needs of film audiences. In Magda's love affair with the student she has made her appear the conven- tlonal betrayed girl, lured into a false i marriage, thereby adding greatly to the singers responsibility. And if Mazda flung the defiant ratort to her ! father when he tried to force her n- to marriage to save her honor, if she confronted the old man with the uues- tion "How do you know ha was the only one?" she didn't do it in a sub title.
 1 Instead the father falls dead when she exclams, "Locked doors cannot terrify me- The other line was prob ably kept off the screen on the prn- ciple that if it was blow to the hero ines father. it would very likely be equally as shocking to the audience.
 But Miss Young acts the real, in- tense Mazda instead of the dapted one, and it is her work that makes the pie
 ture worth seeing. It is in tn, scenes which are closer to the spirit of the original that she eXcels.

HAUBER THEATRE.

'Maciste's' feats of strength" says the Philadelphia Evning telegram, in speaking of the lengthy engagement of the The Marvellous Maciste" in that city, "alone gave several thrill ing situations and some were unusual and unexpected as to cause cries of surprises from those who saw the per fOrmance"
 The tremendous hit which the pop ular Italian Giant has scored in ''1ha Marvellous Maciste,' his last great work in pictures before eulist;ng in the war, has made this siX-reol fea- ture, distributed by General Film tompanv . new miestone in fimdom. The high class melodrama, clevarly tihged with comedy. is sc novel and full of the unexpected it becomes high class entertainment for the most crit ical Something entirely new in the way of pictures is guaranteed to those who see "I'he Marvellous Macista" at the Haubor theatre today. In addition to this tht regular Blubira will he shown featuring Violet Mersereary in ' M0rkan's Raiders.

 USE ARKANSAS COAL

Little Rock, March 11.--H. c. Couch, federal fuel Administrator for Arkansas, is working on plans to S. cure orders from the government for Arkansas coal. If the government will take the surplus for the next six ty days, it will enable the mines to continue operating and avoid the con- sequent loss of production. With the coming of warm. weather, the demand for domestic consumption is greatly reduced, and unless the government, which was in great need of coal to move it's shipping should, take over large contracts, th9 mines will be fore ed to shut dewn for time.

Sure Way To Get
 Rid Of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruf completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it en- tirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon j; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. no matter how much dandruf you may have.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail.

"Ruozen First Meant "Drrnk."

The word "booze'' came to us before ihe fourteenth century, seemingly from the Dutch, in the form "bous" or "bouse." At that time, as noun or verb, it meant merely drink" and tc speak of a gentleman as housing" his wine was not libelous or even deroga. .ory, writes Robert r. Utter in liar. pers Magazine. Somehow 1t acquired the added suggestion of excess and bad company, and by the time of Shakespeare we find 1t in glossarles of the argot of thieves and gypsies. The process may be understood when we think of the sinister meaning we often nttach to the simple word drink" which might conceivably run the same cfiurse if Ue misuse # often enough.

After taking part in the ill-starred expedition of the Pretender to Scotland, he obtained a commis- sion of colonel in the army of Spain. Being Protestant. his promotion was barred in that country, and he offered his sword to Emperor Peter II. of Russia. He took part in several cam paigns and his ability and valor ob- tained for him the rank of general and the reputation of being the ablest officer in the Czar's forces.
 Keith resigned in 1747 and entered the Prussian army as a field mar shal. He was favorite of Freder- icls the Great, with whom he travelled through Germany, Poland and Hun gary. Keith especially pleased Fred erick by inventing military game. and that monarch had thousands of armed men cast in metal, by which he could arrange sieges and battles, Keith took part in all the great bat ties of that period, and often ex- pressed the wish that he might die in battle. His wish was fulfilled. One of the finest tributes ever paid to the honesty of any man was that of 1 George Keith to his brother. the Marshal: My brother has left me a | noble heritage ;after having overrun | Bohemia at the head of a large army, | I have found only seventy dollars in his purse"

 The battle was even at the end of the first quarter and there was little to choose between the contending teams, In the second period, how ever, the local team got down to bus iness, and took the ball into their op- ponents' territory. It was kept there for the remainder of the game. The Hartford aggregation became danger ous in only the third quarter. They were kept from scoring by some fine defensive team work on the part of the local line men,
