"MOHICANS' IS COMING
TO GARRICK FOR WEEK

It is not often that handsome
leading man-one OF those curly
haired matinee idols will give up his
hirsute adornment for arts sake. but
in Maurice Tourneur's THE Last OF
the Mohicans," which comes to the
Shubert-Garrick Theater for six days.
starting tomorrow afternoon, you
will have a chance to see many actors
who did that very thing.
Four leading players and fifteen
actors actually shaved their heads in
order to play Indian roles in this
Tourneur special. The craniums are
devoid of all hirsute save for the ia
miliar little topknot. or scalplock, as
the redmen called the small tuft al
lowed to grow to give an enemy a
hand-grip for scalping purposes-if
the enemy is the better man.
Albert Roscoe. who plays Uncas.
the last of the Mohicans, was the first
to lose his beautiful curls at the
studio barber shop. When the razor
slid over his bald knob, he slumped
into the chair moaning, II see where

men tainted them from the front
door, but they only smiled, becaus,
Tourneur paid them a big bonus for
the operation.
The screen result Is excellent.
Roscoe. as Uncas, who is really an
eighth Usage Indian, looks like the
original character in Cooper's famous
book, and Beery, as Magua the ter
rible, is a living image of that hor-
rible person of booklore.

CANNOT LIMIT
SALE OF LIQUOR
poses-Physicians May Prescribe
as They See Fit.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The gov
ernmcnt Is without authority to prohibit
on limit the manufacture and sale of
liquors, wines or beer for beverage
purposes, according to an opinion by the
attorney general made public today by
the Internal revenue bureau. The opin-
ION, one OF the most comprehensive deal
ing with the question of prohibition. cx-
p-csSly states that there must be no
limitation on the. use of liquors except
that prescribed by congress in limiting
the sale Of spirtuous liquors to one pint
for 10 days.
The question of limitation thus. the
opinion said. is left to the good faith of
the physician. Subject to this hmita-
ton the opinion continues. obviously
there has been committed not to the
Judgment of the commissioner of inter
nal revenue and the secretary of the
treasury, but to the professional judg-
ment of the physician the question of the
quantity Of liquor that may be used to,
advantage aS q medicine in each case
As to this question | think the intention
was to leave the physician unfettered by
government control. but subject to be
dealt with criminally and by revocation
OF his permit if he acts in bad faith"
Tho opinion. existence of which be-
came known Sunday is signed by the
then Attorney General Palmer and was
dated March ..

With respect to sale at Wholesale for
non-beveTage purpose, Mr. Palmer said :.
4 am of the opinion that there is no au-
th0rity to limit the number of permits

whole because the commissioner or sec
