About o0% of all hair troubles are traced to in-
fected Sebum 1t is an oil that forms at the roots Of
the hair Its natural function is to supply the hair

for bacteria. 1t clings to hair and destroys it. 1t
lodges in hair folcles and plugs them Then germs
by the millions start to feed upon the hair. Semi
badness is marked Then comes total badness.
You can see this Sebum on your scalp, in the form
Of an oily excretion Or, when dried, dandruff
But it does mot kill the roots. Hence when you
move it, new hair grows. This is scientific fact

 IL Is not hard to understand how Pollock came to write The Fool to those who think somewhat along the lines laid out in the action-sUrprls- ingly many. Every one or us has some of the things which Pollocks s hero strives for Some of us attain them.
 But this Is not a sermon, rather 8 review of a sermon called play.

It Is claimed. displayed on 8 screen.
 While massive settings and gor- geous costuming make of the picture riot of splendor. these are but background for thrilling, tensely interesting love story which IS never for a moment overshadowed by the spectacular clements of the picture, and which Is never for a moment dull. Situation follows situation In rapid succession and practically every situation furnishes 9 thrill.
 The story opens at a court ball Lon S Barthoiomew's Eve. held by Catherine de Medici to disarm eus- picion. She manages that evening to secure the signature of her weak son. Charles TX, to a proclamation decreeing the massacre of the Huguenots. Rupert de Vrieac and his hereditary enemy engage in 8 duel In with De Vrieac Is victorious. but places La Roche under obligation by sparing his life.

At the castle of La Roche. De Vrieac Is subjected to much humiliation at the hands of La Roche and his beautiful sister, Yeoland dc Breux. but finally. after 8 desperate encounter with a wolf. saves the life of the invalid sister of his tormentors.
 Later Yoeland, guarded by De Vrieac. goes to visit her cousin. and there meets the despicable Due de Tours, who seeks to win her. De vrieao saves her after a desperate battle in which De Tours Is killed Later, at the request of Yoeland, De vrieac Is released from his oath of servitude, and the avowal of love between the young couple brings to an end the fsud between the two families.
