NEW CHORUS GIRL
TYPE IN "39 EAST

There have been chorus girls and
chorus girls depicted on the. screen,
and invariably they have been of the
same type-beautiful, seductive crea-
lures, gowned in the latest Partisan
fashion, leading prize dog on the
leash, with host of millionaires ever
at their feet clamoring to give them
all their hearts desire. Constance
Binney creates new type of chorus
girl in her portrayal of Penelope
Penn in .39 East" the Rachael Gro
theirs play shown in picture form this
week at the Kenworthy Theatre.
Miss Binney, delightfully."- herself,
sweet and demure, portrays the role
of a daughter of poor minister, who
has been brought up in a careful
though old-fashiened manner, and
goes to the city to make her fortune.
Contrary to the story of most chorus
girls. it was only after she failed to
obtain other employment that she was
forced to utilize her church choir
training in the ranks of the chorus.
However, association with the sophis-
ticated "gold diggers" of the chorus
did not faint Penelope, and even when
she became a premiere danseuse she
remained a sweet and wholesome girl.
John S. Robertson, of CDR. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde" fame, directed the
production. Reginald Denny is the
leading man.

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody Can Tell When You Darker
Gray, Faded Hair With
Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect. By asking at any
drug store for Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound, you will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, 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 ap-
plied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at q time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is restored
to It's natural color and looks glossy,
soft and beautiful.

that more than $4,000 will be dis
