There are reds, probably danger

they are not half as dangerous as the
prating pseudo patriots who. under
the guise of Americanism, are preach

and to whom our church parlors and
other public forums have hitherto
been open.
"Many, perhaps most, OF the agita-

nary liquid arvon; apply IL at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
By morning, most If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone. and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace OF II, no matter
how much dandrun you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging OF the scalp will stop
instantly. and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy. silky And soft, and

Spanish Revue and
Marie Cahill Please.

We started this morning to save
carfare TO sunny Spain. There were
. Aot of singers and dancers at b. II.
keith's last night who are said TO
hail from the land OF the grape and
olive The program said In reference
to each dance that this or that gyra-
tion was popular In the streets and
csfes OF certain parts OF the country.
IL that II so, then we are, content TO
spend the remainder OF our three
score years and ten there. Added TO
this. we understand that there Is no
eighteenth amendment IN Alfonso's
land.
A bevy J OF dangerous brunettss,
who can sing and dance. and three
male dancers who do not look like
collar advertisement models provide
a distinctly enjoyable program OF
songs in their native tongue. inter-
spersed frequently with peppy dances
10 the click OF the uAual .castanets.
The revue was reminiscent OF the
Land OF JOY" seen some time ago In
Washington.
Marie CahilI. one OF the favorites
OF big time. was on deck with a
chatty monologue. some clever songs.
and q brand new line OF "Cahillisms." Z"
She has q way wi her, has Marie. and
she slips from chat to song and back
again without doing enough OF either
TO tire the audience.
The second act deserves moro than
trite mention. Lubia Meroff. assisted
by Sonia and Ben Merofr, sing and
dance. They sing u bit in English,
and dance a bit in American style,
while Ben plays the cello in pleasing
manner. Then. apparently tired OF
new-fangled ways, they appear in
Russian costume and sing and dance
after the fashion OF the old Russland,
which was evidently highly pleasing
to the audience.
Something unusual Is the dumb
or frst act. A moving man has a
dream, and throws his partner around
in a most amazing fashion. The au-
dience is divided fifty-fifty on opinion
as to whether the partner is man
or dummy. he is thrown about so
much like a limp dishcloth. Note.
He turns out to be n regular mani.
The Leightons have an old act.
at least tho songs are old, being a
lot of those BLUE" things. sung in
that peculiar minor tone and draggy
cadence that characterizes the long
list of Indigo" vocalisms. 1t Is not
what they sing but how they sing
IT that makes such a hit OF their act.
Hugh Herbert and company pre-.
sent a skit. mind Your Own Busi-
ness" 1t drags somewhat, but is en-
livened frequently by Mr.. Herbert's
dialogue and mannerisms.
Rockwell and Fox attempt to do
nut" stuff, and make rather a fall
ure of 1t. Their humor is strained
and forced. The redeeming featur.
OF the act is the amazing amount ot
music that Rockwell produces from
ten-cent tin whistle. assisted by his
partner on a banjo.
One OF the most pleasing numbers
on the bill was that OF Ann Gray. a
winsome miss who sings delightfully."-
and who is a virtuoso on that most
beautiful Of instruments. the harp
Her well chosen program earned fol
her repeated calls.
House features conclude a bill that
Is enjoyable in the main.

THE CAST

There are all the essentials Of a
delightful musical comedy In this
production, but IT needs touching up
In numerous dull spots and a more
,ympathetic cast before IL will ever
be registered as one of Broadway's
1870 hits.
As a primary fault the plot Is too
transparent. Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Mitchell reach that point in connu-
bal bliss when both feel they would
be better mated with affnities. They
decide to arrange a divorce OF con-
venience and while the legal details
are pending both soul mates come to
their country home on a weekend
invitation. Around this situation the
action ccnters with the happy result
inevitable from the outset
II Is hard to resist a belief that
eventually this piece will go, never
theless, for IL boasts none OF the tire

dressed to the legal limit Indeed, II
has chorus handsomely gowned and
