ly satisfied with the show. Charles
Ray in "A Nine O'Clock Town" gave
nothing but laughter and thrills to his
admirers. The story abounds in those
moments peculiar to Charles Ray, and
he takes advantage OF them in his
own inimitable way. Charles is the
son of merchant in a small country
town and his father decides that his
sons ideas are too extravaganza for a
little town and SO he is sent to New
York. He later returns to wake up
the town as a successful business
manager. This picture is bound to
please everyone. The other feature is
Back to the Woods starring dainty
beautiful Mabel Normand. This photo
play is a comedy drama in which
laughter vies with thrills and the set
tings in which the play is enacted
range all the way from a logging to
the gorgeousness of a Fifth avenue
mansion. Mabel Normand has a role
in which she is enabled to do the
work in which she excells and which,
at the same time, offers her opportuni-
ties for a departure from her usual
transformations. She has been pro-
vided with a, role calculated to delight
her admirers.
oddly enough Mabel Normand is the
only feminine member of the cast in
terpreting this play. 1t is a big play

COMB SAGE TEA IN
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
Look Young! Common Garden Sage
and Sulphur Darkens SO Naturally
Nobody Can Tell

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with Won
derful effect By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get a large bot
tie of this old-t time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens SO naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
It's SO easy to use, too. You simply
dampen comb or soft brush, and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, 1t is restored to it's
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful, This preparation Is a
delightful toilet requisite. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.

to the motion picture world. But then,
D. w. Griffith always performs the
unexpected; it is expected of him, and
THE Great Love" is no exception to
the rule. This remarkable photoplay
