was a perfectly respectable affair.

who might have attended under
the impression that it suggested
possibility OF shocks not to be dis

man existence with which we are
all familiar, simply dressing old
stuff in a new atmosphere, send
ing home the punches in a fashion
that causes US to forgive the crudi-
ties that now and then obtrude
themselves. Mr.. White styles his
entertainment a musical revue, but
there is no attempt to feature vocal
display, although the chorus sings
capably what numbers it has, and
there are two members of the
cast, Victoria Herbert and Wade
Booth, who are satisfying in the
chief singing roles. Mr.. White and
Ann Pennington head the company,
though leaving the task of enter
tanning largely to the responsible
ity of others. Both are dancers
who have attained perfection in
their art Miss Pennington in
cludes her doll dance, which she
executes atop a piano, the instru-
ment playing automatically the
while she is performing. 1t is the
prettiest thing Miss Pennington
does in the show.

Mother Pictures.

Mother pictures that reflect real
stories of life are few and far be
tween That because photoplay
producers generally are more COM
mercial than artistic. 'Humor-
esque" made money. So did ''Over
the Hill" and THE Old Nest.
Those films projected the self-abne-
CATION of mothers, yet pictures the
heroines as women of purpose and
stout heart. Most other mother
pictures have suffered from maud
lin sentiment, the drama being han
died with the idea that the greater
number of tears the greater num-

be ready to shrek at the mention

can see in serious light is The

movie develops such a sense of hu-

Simply get an ounce of Othine-

and few applications should
show you how easy it is to rid
yourself of the homely freckles and
get a beautiful complexion. Rarely
is more than once ounce needed for
the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for

money back if it fails to remove
