You'U Get Rid of
 Blackheads Sure

There is one simple. safe and sure way that never fails to get rid of blackheads, that is to dissolve them.
 To do this get two ounces of calonite powder from any drug store--sprinkle n little on a hot. wet cloth-rub over the blackheads briskly-wash the parts and you will be surprised how the blackheads have disappeared. Big blackheads, little blackheads, no matter where they are, simply dissolve and disappear Black heads are mixture of dust and dirt and secretions thek form in the pores of the skin. The calonite powder and the water dissolve the blackheads so they wash right out. leaving the pores free and clean and in their natural condition.-Adv.

WELCOME
REVUE

Down at the Gayety this week,
Harring Hastings is putting his
''Eilk Stocking Revue" to the acid
test of q Washington audience,
and IL incessant laughter and APP
plause are indicative Of success 1t
il fully up to the mark. It is In
the usual two acts and q dozen
or more colorful scenes, and q
capable company Of burlesquers
put it over In great shape.
The outstanding figure is Frank
x. silk, tramp comedian, whose
brand Of fun is Irresistible. SILK
had the entire house laughing last
night on his first appearance in q
freak layout, and kept things hum
ming throughout the performance.
Diminutive Jean Carr got a big
hand with her dancing and was
huge success as "gold digger"
Billie La Monte and the two Busch
sisters showed brightly as dancers.
The latter were particularly effec-
tive in an Oriental dance. Helen
Kennedy has the principal song
numbers, and was well received.
Bob Carney and Earl Root intro
duced some novel dancing steps,
while Frank Martin and Billy
Wallace rounded out the cast.
The Roletta brothers play the
piano-accordion like masters, while
Helen Kennedy, between her song
numbers, nddled to everybody's
satisfaction.
The scantily attired chorus is
about the best dancing aggregation
seen on Ninth street this season.

Let Your Head
Rule Your Heart

HE esteemed Horatio AlgeT
exponent Of the ambitions or
young American boyhood,
never dreamed when he wrote do
and Dare series, that it's not
always wise to ''do and dare"
Take, for example, Daniel Car
son Goodman's latest screen opus
titled "The Daring Years. coming
to Crandall's Central Theater on
Thanksgiving.
Had the young hero of "The
Daring Years. played by Charles
Emmett Mack, allowed his head
to rule in place of his heart, cat,
astrophe would have been averted,
and much misery and heartache
saved those he loved. But like
all youth, this lovable but thought
less boy plunged recklessly into
an illicit love affair. regardless Of
consequences, deaf to the plead
ings of his adoring mother and
the anguish and misery he brought
to q lovely girl who worshipped
him.
The Daring Years" proves that
true love is the only thing worth
while, and that ''do and dare" is
q good maxim between the pages
of a book only.

house, Manager Bill Fowler will
have Iots.Of company In his little
entertainment parlOr this week.
The offering is guidepost to
musical comedy producers. Old
Doc Ziegfeld took q pretty girl
who can sing, dance and act, added
two good comedians, chorus
above par and sprinkled them with
the sugar OF song, jest and stage
tinsel. Then he had q model mu-
sical comedy.
Perhaps before the phase OF nam
ing musical shows after girls dies
out, some producer with the
leonine courage OF his convictions
will caTdidly christen his opus
cinderella and the world will
: gasp. It has become the tradition
that every show with q girl name
has q Cinderella theme, but no.
body yet has brought the fight out
in the open. Producers let their
shows be named Irene, Han.

must take into consideration the
fact that Sally played q mater
nal role in starting many, many
girl-name shows along the golden
track.
Miss Miller dances brilliantly,
sings sweetly and Cinderellas most
acceptably, ana everyone likes her.
But the asparagus wreath goes 10
Signor Enrol, the gentleman with
macaroni legs. He ravisles the
comedy honors OF the show, and
comes pretty near to being the
whole thing. Walter Catlett, high

laughing at the last one he told or
the one before that. Kathlene

Of the Catlettian shafts. Paul
Frawley, q persorAble young man,
sings opposite Miss Miller, who
have we failed to mention? has
the title role. Mr.. Frawley sings
well, but he makes faces when he
does.
The butterfly ballet Is q beautiful
spectacle. Most OF the large chorus
are typical Ziegfeld girls and seem
to be amused at the show. The
song hits OF sally are too well
known to washington to require
specific mention. Sally and
Signor Enrol in particular must
be seen by anyone who values a
good show. DO try to come!

DID, -FnShiOned Girl Role
Suits Miss DAUieS

brought the young actress world
wide fame in when Knighthood
Was in FloweAT' The role of
Patricia is even more difficult
than that Of Princess Mary and
requires even more finesse and
delicacy in the handling.
For during most Of the picture
Patricia is girl masquerading
as boy. Imagine the difficulty
OF assuming a boyish swagger,
yet at the same time experience
ing all the feelings of q young
girl falling in loVe-and having
to keep the fact completely hid
den. This is what Patricia has
to do, and Miss Davies handles
the role with supr eme artistry.
