"Tea for Three" Star
and Loney Haskell
Columbia Features

The booking department Of the
Orpheum circuit of which the Co
lumbia theatre is now an import
ant part, has arranged bill to
begin Sunday, containing two ma
jor circuit Orpheum acts which
are headliners on any bill in any
theatre. They are Elsa Ryan, late
star of Peg of My Heart" and
Tea for Three" "Out There" and
a number of musical comedies. and
Loney Haskell, THAT Rascal"
Miss Ryan is making her vaude-
vile debut and for this momentous
occasion she has been provided
with sketch Peg for Short" by
Dion Titherage. She has excellent
support in this offering which is
done in typical vaudeville style
with many attractive situations.
Musical comedies in which Miss
Ryan has played star parts are
THE Toreador." with Francis Will
son, THE Belle of Brittany" with
Frank Daniels, The Kiss Waltz"
and Three Little Maids" with T.
P Huntley. She also toured in
1.-THE Blue Mouse" as star and was
conspicuous in numerous New
York Casino musical productions.
Her advent in vaudeville will be
hailed with delight by patrons of
the two-a-day.
The other big time favorite head
liner will be Loney Haskell. He is
remembered here by many who
have seen him in larger cities and
he appeard at the Grand when that
theatre was on the Orpheum cir

Romance" a Drama
Which Scored Big
Hit at the Majestic

Tom Mix comes to the Majestic
tonight in THE Terror a photo
MAY in which he was booked to
appear here some time ago. The
Terror" is what they call a rip
snorting" western melodrama with
all kinds of gun play and stunts
galore. Mix is in his element in
srhe Terror" which calls for
many hair-raising stunts.
Beginning Sunday for four days
the Majestic will play Doris keane
In Romance" drama which
broke many records in all large
American cities for continuous run.
4 Edward Sheldon is the author ana
his play has created perhaps more
favorable comment than has been
|ayished on any American play in
ten years. Miss keane is Americas
leading emotional star and she
will play the role of the opera
singer in which she created so
much of furore on the stage.
The right for this play passed
into Miss Keane's and her mana
ger, Charles Dillingham's hands
from Winthrop Ames and Lee Shu-
bert. At the time the play was
bought by Miss keane the money
paid was without doubt the largest
amount in actual cash for the
rights of any American play. or for
that matter, for any foreign one
either.
For this consideration. Mr.. Dill
bingham did not, by any manner OF
means, own the play outright. he
merely acquired the managerial
rights to produce the drama and
Mr.. Sheldon was still paid ten
per cent royalty on the gross the
play produced each week.
Many managers contended that
IN view Of this wonderful success
Messrs. Ames and Shubert should
have made very much money by
keeping the rights for the play In
their own hands, but the cold cash
was an extremely tempting offer
and Mr.. Shubert, in accepting. kept
one ear of wisdom to the ground,
for he insisted on having a clause
nut In the contract that Romance"
should be played in Shubert the
aires exclusively throughout the
country.
As a matter of fact. little Miss
Keane, who is as unmercenary an
actress as ever lived. could have

DISAPPEARING BEDS

By Associated Frsss

New York, July 31.-Presidents of Man haitian Island, in their eternal fight for space have perked up their ears at the announcement by New York realty syn dlcate that it will build d S450O00 apart
 ment house, whose distinguishing feat ure will be disappearing beds" off clals of the syndicate are silent as to what form the disappearing beds" will take during the day time. They dismiss the matter by saying that "disappearfng peas and many other labor saving de- vices will be installed"
 Architects, however. have given tnetr opinion on the proposed innovation.
 The beauty of disappearing beds" the architects say, is that the bed cannot disappear while the occupant is lying in Ii on his back, with his knees up and his mouth open. This was the chief draw back to the old-fashioned folding-ped. The architects made this statement to quiet the fears of many New Yorke residents, who had inquired as to wheth- CT the disappearing bees" were similar to the old-fashioned folding-bed, or con- tained any of the latter's cranky and un- certain tendencies.
 The architects say that a ''disappearing bed is bed at night and an oil paint Ing of Gordon setter or something like that in the day time; that it can be slipped under the bathroom floor or tucked away behind the aquarium; or that It may be sunk into a trap-door in the floor, or an oriental rug placed over It, so that the tell-tale cracks may not be seen.

Common garden sage brewed into q heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux uriant Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation improved by thAe addition of other ingredients a larsS bottle, at little cost, at drug stores~e known as ''Wyeths Sage and sulpTir Compound" thus avoiding a lot Of muss.
 While gray faded hair is not sinful we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkenng your hair with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound no one can tell, because it does it so natural ly, so evenly. You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger.-Adv
