the Brandeis theater shortly after
II o'clock.
"Great Scottr' exclaimed Charles
Mast, his stage manager, cts Willie

I Unaware of the eyes upon him
Mr.. Kershell was cutting cart
wheels, eagles and other fancies of
such 81 eaters as Katie Smith. For
eighteen years he was with Mont
gomery and Stone, acting as their
dresser, secretary and general fac
totum. When Mr.. Montgomery
died he continued in the same ca
pacity with Mr.. Stone, and it is said
that there is not a mood or lido
syncracy of his star that he cannot
anticipate.
Cosmo Hanilton's theme in
Scandal" is one of interest-that
merely keeping the body pure does
not mean chastity. His climax at
the end of the second act is as dar-
ing as anything ever put on the
stage. The company now present
ing this delightful comedy at Boyd's
is well calculated to give it proper
effect.
Saranof, assisted by Billy Abbott
and the Winter Garden Violin Girls,
are dividing headline distinction
with Amelia Stone and Amman Kaliz
this week at the Orpheum. They
are appearing in a young musical
comedy by Herman Timberg. 1t
will be recalled that Saranoff has
established himself in musical COM
1edy as we'll as in vaudeville. In re-
gard to Mr.. Abbott, he is an Eng
fish comedian whose fun making
greatly enhances the effectiveness of
the headline offering. Venita Gould
who has the reputation of being the
cleverest in1personator in vaude-
vile, is a conspicuous feature of the
current show.
No play of recent years has RE
peated" with the sensational Sue
cess that has attended the presenta-
tons of Turn to the Right" on its
second and third visits to the prin-
cipal cities this season. The original
company, which includes several
players who have appeared in the
principal roles more than 1000
times, will be seen at the Brandeis
theater January !.
OF the current bill at the Empress
which closes its engagement with
tonight's performances, nothing is
more pleasing than the dancing act,
offered by the Whirlwind Hagens.
The comedy element is provided by
Adams and Guhl, blackface come
dams. The featured act is the COM
edy of life, "The Meanest Man in
the World" presented by Allan
Dinehart.
There is no constitutional amend
ment against woman and song, even
though there is no wine, SO it is safe
to present Girls A la Carte at the

Kiros was held UP and shot by
two highwaymen near Thirteenth

midnight, according to a report
made to the police yesterday by rail-
road men who heard the shot.
Kiros, however, following the hold
up, obeyed the command of the
highwaymen as they left him, to
keep quiet and consequently failed
to make any report on the holdup
and shooting until police talked to
him yesterday concerning the rob
berry.

BULLET REMOVED
FROM HIS HEART
Delicate Operation by Omaha
Surgeon Saves Life OF
Would Be Suicide
Happy End in Sight.

Skillful fingers of a surgeon re-
moved bullet from the heart OF
Steve Zakich, 50 years old, 1881 9
street, who attempted suicide on
January !, and he is now expected
to recover.
The operation was performed Sat
urday at the St. Joseph's hospital by
DR.. George Simanek o..
Steve took the joke of friend,
Chedo Buszo, too seriouslyson New
Years day. When his friends told
him that Mrs. Zakfch had eanother
man" Steve became SO angry that he
drew revolver, shot twice at Chedo
and turned the gun on himself.
Happy Conclusion.
Both of the bullets aimed at Che
do missed. Steve will now recover
from his own wound and letter
iron his wife has convinced him
that she is Still faithful. Which
makes happy conclusion to near
tragedy.
Steve married Dominica Czarovitci
in a little Austrian village six years
ago. Then he came to America to
make his fortune, leaving his wife at
home.
He had been sending money reg
ularly to her and planned to return
at the end of this year, by which
time his accumulated savings will
permit them TO live in comfort.
On New Years day he and his
brother called upon -Chedo Buszo.
Chedo did not knew that Steve
hadn't heard frornMrs. Zakich for
some time, and carelessly remarked
that he had heard she was living
with another man. Steve's rash act
followed
The bullet which Steve fired into
his own chest lodged i'll his heart
Its speed was broken sufficiently by
his ribs to prevent it from piercing
that organ, however.
The death rattle was in his throat
when police rushed him to the hos
pital, but by miracle he rallied and
was alive on Saturday.
He was removed to the operating
room, where DR.. Sinanek demon
strated the possibilities of modern
surgery by resecting three ribs to
the left of the sternum, exposing the
heart, and removing with his fingers
the q caliber bullet which was i'm
bedded in the organ itself.
So Stevc's attempt at suicide was
fortunately a failure, since belated
letter has arrived from his wife,
filled with love and stating that she
will be expecting his return on Jan
nary L 1921. -------

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much
better than anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance Of rich, creamy lather, and
,leanses the hair and scalp thor
,ughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust,
lirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
md it leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You CAT, get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug store.
1t is very cheap, and few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months.
