Dramatic Clubs Final Effort
The three plays which the Dramatic
Club viii present this year on May 24.
as its final effort, are indeed unusual
productions. t"The Gods of the Noun
tain by Dansany, carries US to the
Orient, but gives US a bit of philosophy
and satire that is universal The slow
cadence Of the lines is well brought out
by the leading character-Louise Jack
son, '24-who interprets her part with
much Skill AS the ring leader of five
beggars, she eonceiyes the clever idea
Of having her men pretend that they
are gods, and thus fool the people Of the
city into bringing them great sacrifices
Of meats. fruits and wines. Lured by
the prospect of much food. the beggars
readily fall in with the plan, but many
are the tense moments that arise, when
they fear that their deception has been
discovered. The real dramatic moment
comes. however, when the true gods
appear on the scene, and turn their beg
gar minaics to stone images.
The second play to be produced is
"Simoom" by Strindberg. Here we have
a tense, psychological problem that re-
auires great dramatic effort. The part
Of Biskra, the sorceress, is played so
intently By Ethel Ferguson, %, that
one almost feels the hypnotic spell cast
upon the young French soldier. Will
liam Broughall. 2l. who plays the part
Of this young lieutenant, works his
audience up 10 a high pitch as he suf-
fers his tragic end. This is truly a
dramatic feat; for very few artists are
willing To present death TO an audience.
In vivid contrast to these plays
stands THE Maker Of Dreams by
Downs. Here we have all Of the charm
and allurement of an ideal love scene.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair In
good condition, be careful what you
wash IL with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Mulsined cocoanut
oil shampoo (which is pure and en-
tirefy greaseless), is much better
than anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and RUB II in. One or two tea
spoonfuls of Mulsihed will make an
abundance OF rich. creamy lather,
and cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily
and removes every particle OF dust.
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and IL
leaves IT fine and silky, bright fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t
Is very cheap. and few ounces is
enough to last everyone In the fam
lily for months. Be sure your drug
gist gives you Mulsified.
