Certain-teed Covers More Surface
Per Gallon

YOU need less Certain-teed to cover
a given area than you do ordinary
paints and varnishes, because the ingre-
dents in Certain-teed are highest quail
ity, are properly proportional, and are
thoroughly ground and mixed by
machinery that makes no mistakes.
These things also account for the fact
that Certain-teed has greater hiding
power, retains its color and lasts
longer than ordinary paint products.

JOHN STEEL IN VAUDEVILLE.

John Steel, said to the most prom
inent of all American tenors came
to the stage from a church choir.
MIR. Steel has a magnificent voice,
in fact, there are few tenors Of
his quality and range to be found
anywhere. 1t was natural that he
could not sing in the obscurity of
choir very long. The fashionable
Fifth avenue church of which he
was soloist attracted more attention
because of it's choir than for any
other reason and among those who
came to hear the much discussed
tenor was Mary Garden. and Mary
Garden Immediately made Mr.. Steel
an offer to join the Chicago Opera
Company. He. however. did not
consider II advisable to go into
opera until he had other stage ex-
perience. but the rewards of the
stage are so much greater than
those OF the choir. that he decided
to accept the profession. He had
no difficulty in finding an opening.
Most every manager made him an
offer. Florenz Ziegfeld succeeded
in attaining his services and prac-
tically starred him In the last edi-
ton of The Follies."
Vaudeville also wanted John Steel,
but he wanted to act as well as sing
and so he considered a musical COM
edy engagement preferable to begin
With but he promised at the conclu-
sion of the season with the "Follies"
TO enter the two-a-day. The Follies"
LAS closed and Mr.. Steel has kept his
promise. therefore, the celebrated
American tenor is to be heard in the
two-a-day. 1t IL highly probable that
when he has had the experience con-
sidered necessary for an operate
career, he will follow in the footsteps
OF Dorothy Jardon, Rosa Ponzello,
Capolican, and step from vaudeville
into grand opera.

Mullen, clad in a regulation pro-

Harbor safely and was about to give

MelM1cholia With
Miss |oyce's Role

Alice Joyce, star in "The Scarab
Ring" which will be the featured at
traction at Moore's Rialto theater all
week. besinning today. Is a chang ID
person the moment she enters the
studio. She endeavors to lose herself
In the character and is often forgetful
OF all about her. This was particularly
noticeable In the scenes of THE
Scarab Ring" which took place in the
Tombs prison. The heroine Is he'd
for trial on circumstantial evideu &C
and Is placed In q cell In the Tom ps.
From the moment Miss Joyce
reached the scene where she was ac-
cused. she became detected. A natural
melancholia spread over her. She
walked out OF the set like one In a
trance and when confined to her cell
sat absorbed in deep thought.
Even between scenes when other
members of the company were enjov-
ing themselves with laughter and
frivolities, Miss Joyce sat silent, her
head bowed and her eyes looking into
the distance as II buried in thought.
This is but one Instance where the
star has lost herself In a role and
remained so until the final scene OF
the day had been shot. She lives In
the character until the end OF the
play and for this reason Alice Joyce
has risen to heights which few attain
and IL known as star who Il IN a
class by herself.

with such popular approval and sup
port that. due to the impossibility of
accommodating the crowds unable to
obtain admission to date. arrange
ments have been made whereby the
showing will be continued another
seven days, beginning today.
Thousands of Washingtonians saw
the first feature on the program in
the making. hundreds appearing in
some OF the scenes every one of which
was taken locally and every member
OF the cast appearing being a resident
of this city. "a Romance of Wash
ington" has already furnished n lot
of fun and mirth for all who have
seen II and will undoubtedly prove
just as popular throughout the cur
rent week. Many prominent citizens
appear in the production, none being
seen to better advantage than the
President and Mrs. Harding, who
graciously consented to be photo
sraphed together with two OF the
principals in one of the scenes.
THE Heart OF Maryland" with
beautiful Catherine Calvert in the
stellar role. which is the second
large feature, has likewise met with
en- enthusiastic reception. One of the
really great pictures Of the day, the
elm has many advantages over the
stage production in that scenes have
been visualized which were merely
