EMMA CARUS GOOD
AS NEW ATPALACE
Mile. Dazzle Scores at Riverside
New Bills at Brighton
and Columbia.

1t seems like a couple OF decades ago
since Emma Carus started in the va
rieties, but she was Just as young look
ing and as effervescent in spirits at the
Palace yesterday as she was even as
comparatively recently az in the days
OF Hemmerstein's Victoria.
Miss Carus devoted ae much time in
her act to relating her unfortunate VEN
lures In matrimony as 10 anything else.
and the time that wasn't given over TO
husbands was equally divided between
limitations and songs. Miss Carus was
excellent in whatever she tried, includ-
ing dances
Mcintyre and Heath are held over for
a second week because Of their popular
ity, which Is deserved. Trite lines bloom
forth as bits OF original humor by rea-
son o. their manner and their sympathy
with the 1iumor Of the negro is q thing
too infrequent to be passed over. Their
offering this week is Back Home to the
Stable" a new sketch that gives them
full scope for their talents.
Gus Van and Joe Schenck are back
again with a new selection OF songs.
This duo are too widely known to need
special notice of the reason for their
popularity. Lloyd and Wells appear In
Alabama Bound" Frederick v. Bowers
presents his annual song revue. Jack
Wyatt offers a Scotch act. Moran and
Weiser do tricks with hat. and Sea-
bury and Shaw present their 1918 dance
revue.
As the headliner of the new bill at
'the Riverside Theatre. Mild Dazie re-
peated the triumph which she achieved
at the Palace Theatre a few weeks ago.
In these days Of modern dances her
return to an older period for a collec-
ton OF classical steps proved a. happy
experiment. Her selection, Of the older
movements was interspered generously
with the more modern ones which have
won distinct success for her IN her
most recent engagements. Taken alto
gether her review proved an Item which
did much to support the strength of
the whole programme for the current
week. Andrew Tombes and Rena Par
ker. late OF Flo Flo," appear in little
OF everything. and "Moondown," the
Washington Square Players sketch, Is
on the programme.
The New Brighton has an especially
good bill, with John Hyams and Leila
Mcintyre heading the list in their sketch
"Maybloom." Sybil vane is held over
for a second week, and Ben Ryan and
Harriette Lee and Joe jackson are also
on the bill.
THE Liberty Girls is the buriesque
at the Columbia this week. Tho cast Is
headed by Jack Conway. a clever CO.
median. and the chorus Is large and bet
ter looking than the average. The piece
Is we'll staged.

BEST WAY TO WASH THE HAIR

We find you can bring out the beauty
Of your hair to its very best advantage
by washing it with Csnthrox. 1t
makes very simple, inexpensive sham
poo, which cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly Of all the dandrufi, dirt and
excess oil, leaving wonderfully clean,
wholesome feeling. After its use you
will find that the hair dries quickly and
evenly, is never streaked in appearance
and is always bright, soft and fluffy; SO
fluffy, in fact, that it looks more album
dant than it is, and so soft that arrang.
ing it becomes a pleasure. Just use a
teaspoonful of Canthrox, which YOU
can get from any good druggists, dis
solve it in cup of hot water: this makes
a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough 90
1t is easy to apply it to all the hair In
stead OF just the top Of the head. --Adr.
