Park Review

Burlesque fans, and persons who like to see good burlesque without going to New York or New Haven to see it. will do well. to take in Rose SydelIs London Bells, with Rose Sy- dell Jr., Mae Leonard, Dolly Davis, Mildred Campbell. Joe Marks and the Chariand, Bridgeport boy. and George Wong, an Oriental, who does several straight bits. Fred Reese, straight, with a pleasing voice, read inee and everybody had a good time
 Each of the feminine principals shared applause honors, Mae Leonard, with a pleasing manner, and the most envied form with the company, early captured her full share of admirers but Miss Sydell, Jr., mighty pretty little girl, and Dolly Davis, full of pep, garnered their share. Mildred aggregation, but persisted in singing the Caruso song which is like waving the Stars and Stripes to get ap- applause.
 Joe Marks is the comedian. He works hard and gets good results. He is funny without getting too rough, is somewhat of an acrobat, and is pleas ingly evident throughout the per formance, which is lengthy. generous, and of great variety. The Romas troupe add a great deal to the en- tainment. Primarily. an acrobatic troupe, each member is versatile; and pA SSSiAN 4eAi- Ait building up other "bits'' throughout the offering.
 Musically, from the viewpoint of coStuming. pep, speed. and smooth running the Rose Syde1l show, is far ahead of any offering of the season. and neither is the comedy weak. Joe Marks is predominant in every com edy scene without getting tiresome. and Fred Reese, doing the straight part, is of the sort that the audience does not feel in the mood of throwing custard pies before the show is over which is the fault of many burlesque shows, and many straight men.
 Mae Leonard's first song, Down Yonder.' and the last effort of Dolly Davis, 'Hortense,' were the applause hits of the show. An unidentified chorister, stepped from the ranks and sang a chorus early in the pro- duction, receiving a hearty reception. The Sydell show is well worth see ing.

Beauty Chats
A TWO MINUTE MANICURE.
By EDNA KENT FORBES

A TWO MINUTE MANICURE.
 Business girls and housewives who are very busy often write complain ing of the bad appearance of their nails and say that they have not the time to go to a professional manicur- ist, and not the time to take care of the nails properly at home If you will learn how you can keep your nails in beautiful condition by spend ing exactly two minutes every day in looking after them. And you do not need a great deal of skill.
 If you have been neglecting the nails you had better start with thorough manicure, for this two min- ute day treatment is to keep the nails in good condition.
 The best time for the two minute manicure is immediately after your bath or after you have washed your hands with hot water and soap. The nails are easily cleansed then and the cuticle is soft.
 As soon as you have dried the nails clean under them with the point of file, then take an orangewood stick with a tiny bit of cotton wrapped around the end and go along the edges of the nail carefully, pushing back the skin.
 Be particular along the sides of the nail to press the skin back gently and firmly since the good appearance of the fingers depends so much upon the smoothnesS of the cuticle here. If the nails are stained or discolored dip the orangewood stick first in either undiluted lemon juice or peroxide. This will bleach at the same time.
 Next take a piece of emery board and go over the nail, quickly filing each one into shape. The days growth IS scarcely perceptIble; you do not have to file the nail shorter, you merely give it a fresh clean edge.
 Anxious Buddy:-As you are only 16 years of age. you will be in better proportion after a few more years of about a girl of your age having some over-develC pment, but it generally corrects itself, given time for the rest of the body to catch up with it.
 E. H. B. :-The origin of black heads is usually an abnormal condf- t1on of the pores, which are being overworked to throw off waste from the system. This coarsens them and as they are generally on the most ex- posed part of the face. they catch soil, which combined with the oM in the skin forms an impact. Black heads do not cause pimples, but they frequently have the same cause, which is internal Arrangement first the skin is trying to eliminate waste from the system, which cannot be completely handled through the other organs For the eyes, try a weak salt water douche each day, using the eye cup, but if the condition does not inn prove quickly, consult an oculist.

This requires considerable time. however, owing to the great number received.

IN THE THEATRES
PLAZA.


 One of the most delightful pictures seen here in many weeks is Proxies Cosmopolitan production released by Paramount which was shown al theme deals with a reformed crook who is determined to live straight and who has a hard time realizing his desire He manages to do so, however, despite his many oDsta cles and finally wins out in his great strug- gle. The picture is not only enter taining but has the quality of uplift as we'll Norma Kerry is the lead ing man ,and his work was lately ad- mitted. Playing opposite him is Zeena keefe, charming star. The support generally was excellent while the pro duction directed by George D. Baker is highly artistic.
 1.-The Love Knight" with a quartet of boys with excellent singing voices. was a hit last night. A pretty girl fits into the picture and with songs and dances greatly enhances the of fering. Coffman and Carroll in 'Tdo Tones of Brown also scored heavily yesterday. Lizette and Rooney in a clever comedy singing and dancing skit did unusually we'll. Other acts completed a good bill.
 Baseball scores are announced by Innings at all matinee performances. LYRIC
 Two Fisted Love,' which is con cluding its run at the Lyric this week, IS pIOSGdIHeu as d play III 1Our punches," and that's what it is-for every act contains a real wallop. De Witt Newing, the author. has done for the stage the same thing that Babe Ruth has done for baseball. AL though newcomer to dramatic fields, Newing shows in 1.-TWO FiSted Love- that he has mastered the art of knocking dramatic home run. Added interest is taken in Two F'isted Love" because of the fact that representatives of the Shuberts were here Monday night and highly praised the play, recommending it for New Another feature that has proved popular is the reading of worlds ser ies returns at the matinee perform ances. The Lyric has special leased where the worlds championship is being fought out. No additional charge has been made for this bulle- tin service to patrons. Next week the Lyric will present I the dramatic Hawaiian success, "A Daughter of the Sum-" a play in which tears ming1e with smiles. and the scene is laid in the seductive South | Sea Isles.

Efficient Housekeeping
THE HOUSEKEEPER'S PERSPEC-
 TIVE
By LAURA A. HERMAN.


 When an artist starts to pain an object. he must take into considera- tion the angle from which he sees it; this angle he terms perspective. angle or perspective" from which the housekeeper looks upon life.
 The average housekeeper's perspec- tive IS apt to be too stationary That is, she never changes her perspective gets new perspective Her housework holds her pretty close to the home, and she has few diversions to lead her thoughts away from her self-or away from what her neigh bors are thinking!
 It is a pathetic fact that the ma jority of housewives, especially in small towns, live in terror of What over small errors they make, and suffer keenly over public disapproval of some foolish thing they have done. I have known women who have ac- tually regretted for years some slight mistake they have made which has gone round the town."
 Yet if those same women had been able to jaunt off somewhere on a tive'' they would have come home and laughed at the suggestion that they once brooded over a mere noth- ing. Indeed, I can cite just such an instance from real life:
 A friend of mine who lives in a small town once made the mistake Of severely criticiZing the way one of her neighborS brought up her children; the woman to whom she made this criticism was false and promptly told the neighbor what my friend had said of her way of training children This started a little ,feud between the fam flies and other women took sides" When my friend walked down street, the neighbor whom she had criticlz- ed would no longer bow to her. Nat urally my friend was very unhappy hn n mo Gh live near me) and asked my advice I replied, "Go away for little while. Things always blow over."
 My friend took my advice and went to the shore for a month in the sum- mer. When she returned to her home, she wrote me the following paragraph: of getting on with ones neighbors- And .that is-to get away from them for short intervals, now and then. If one stays at home all the time, one gets to magnifying everything they say and think I was keeping too close to my housework and to my limited little life. I came home with a smile, and everybody was willing to smile with me-. But if I'd stayed at all, and then nobody would have smiled with me. Even the neigh Dor I criticized, likes me now"
 All of which boils down to this truth: that if a person wears a jaunty air-an air that says, My little mistakes aren't very bad, after all~- then the world is going to be con vinced but if a person takes his faults too seriously then the world is going to take them seriously too. And one of the best ways to get that ''jaunty air. is to get a change of scene and change of thought.
 I believe that housekeepers should make more visits, should take two- weeks vacation each year just as the business woman does, and should ire quently manage to spend entire days away from the home for the purpose of shopping, going to the theatre or sightseeing. She, of all women. needs to "get new perspective frequently.

ADJUSTMENTS
THE MAN WHO'' |S
 COLUMBIA FEATURE

Life was no fudge sundae for Bed ford Mills. though his romance at first gave promise of it.. He discov- cred that all the girl he loved re- quired of him was that he become famous overnight-tha.t he be "A Man Who" If you don't believe she set him a man S. sized job, try it. But first see Bert Lytell in this fun niest of all screen comedies, The Man Who" feature film play at Mauk's Columbia theater today, Fri day and Saturday.
 The story. by Lloyd Osborne, will be remembered by Saturday Evening Post readers as one of the most de- lightful stories of many seasons. It was adapted to the screen by Max well Karger.
 Mir Lyten enacts the role of Bed ford Mills, the New York bank clerk Broke the Shoe Trust" Beddy's ann bition to become a Man Who is in spired by his desire to win the favor of Helen Jessop daughter of an old New York family, who has no use for men who were just nice and or dinary." So Beddy decides to go about faultlessly dressed, except that his feet are always bare as a protest against the high price of shoes.

THE PENALTY OPENS
 AT THESTRAND TODAY

A dynamic dramatic triumph is an- nounced by the Strand for a three days engagement starting with the matinee this afternoon in the state ment that Goldwyn's production of Gouvernor Morris remarkable story of the San Francisco underworld, The Penalty will hold the screen. with Lon Clancy in the role of "Bliz- gard" the legless man. Chaney's characterization in this production is unquestionably one of the most diff ficult, the most powerful and the most extraordinary the silver sheet has ever known.
 Taking San Francisco as the locale, the story concerns a man who when a boy was injured in a traffic acci- dent, the attending physician ampu- tating his limbs. The unfortunate lad learns that the operation was en- tirely unnecessary, and he grows to manhood with the thirst for revenge gnawing his soul. He becomes the most feared power in the underworld, the master mind which directs the operations of band of crooks whose depreciation extend to every part of the city. Steadily Blizzard" builds his terrible scheme for revenge, for he has sworn that San Francisco has ruined his life, and San Francisco shall pay.
 The climaxes are tremendous, while Lon Chaney's work is utterly amaz- ing. The study is an epic in char acter work. The Penalty" is one of the really big accomplishments of the screen, and judging from the ad- vance interest manifested by the Strand clientele, will enjoy an ex- ceptional engagement during this run.
 The Fox News will be among the added attractions.

NEW RIVER SWOLLEN
 BY HEAVY SHOWERS

PEORIA, Aug. 24.-The oldest of the old timers in this section say they never saw so great a volume of wa ter in New river as it carried last Sunday. Its channel is changed in many places as much as a half mile from it's original course all along the Marinette project. and no estimate of. the property damage can be made at present. At its crest it splashed over the Santa Fe bridge, but did not damage it, nor the Grand avenue crossing
 Thirty acres of a ranch belonging to w. S. King, two miles west of Peoria, were washed away.
 There was not much rain in the Agua Fria watershed. apparently. as that river did not carry much water.
 Car Lost in Asua Fria
 W. J. Osborne. accompanied by his wife and daughter, Dorothea, who have been in the neighborhood of Prescott during the rast month, left last Saturday for their home here. They succeeded in crossing New River on the Black Canyon road on Saturday before the storm hit them. They spent Sunday and Monday making their way into Peoria, arriv ing late last night. MT. Osborne re- ports the Black Canyon road has been rendered impossible until re- paired.
 After the party had been lowed across the Agua F'ria Saturday col ored man driving a new Dodge car toward Prescott decided that he could make the crossing under his own power. While re was in mid stream a wall of water about two feet high struck his car. stalling it, and before he could get assistance the river had risen so much it carried the car down stream, finally sub merging it entirely. The driver barely escaped drowning.
