Who's Your F00orite?
iIahi0n Hamilton

This actor deserves all the sue
cess which has crowned his efforts
in motion pictures. He Is qualified
by nature as we'll as in technical
education to impersonate characters
dealing with mental and physical
strength and we cannot recall any
performance given by Mr. Hamilton
in which he has failed to carry con-
Hietion and satisfaction to the. au-
dience.
Mr. Hamilton is a graduate from
the Maryland Agricultural college.
He began his professional career be-
fere the feotlfghts where he APP
peared with Maxine Elliott in The

production, t0Vernigh
It was but step from the stage to
the screen and Mr.. Hamilton took 1t
with flying eolors. His success in
"Earthbounds made his name a
household word and it was really
due to his efforts that this picture
became successful. His work in
DADDY Long Legs" Half a Chance"
"a Christian" and "A Fool There
Was" served to enhance his fame as
a screen star.

PRODUCTION
AMERICA
RECORD

In no other line. OF research and
production was America more re-
solreeful during the great war than
in chemical laboratory work, made
necessary by the tremendous demands
upon all American production and be-
cause of the shutting off of many
imports by war conditions.
Perhaps no industry was harder hit
for a time than the talking machine
industry, because all recording blanks
had been supplied before the war
by Germany.
With the elimination of the German
supply the Columbia c,raphophone
company. according to Rhodes-Car-
roll Furniture company, local Column
ba distributor. employed the most
expert chemists available, who, after
months of research produced a wax
as good in every respect as that
from Germany, and in many ways
superior to it.

New Britain Marine on
 Duty in SantO Domingo

Washington, Feb. 27.-Among the
 U. s. marines who were recently as-
 signed to duty in tl:e West Indies is
 Harold Carl Granquist, son of Mrs. Hulda Granquist, 313 Stanley street, New Britain, who is now on duty with the U. s. Marines in Santo Domingo. He will remain in chat republic for an indefinite period as the Marines will be withdrawn rom that country as soon as permanent government Is established.
 Granquist joined the Marines at Boston, Mass, October IF. 1922. For several months he was stationed at Paris Island, s. c. Later he em- parked on a naval vessel for service in the West Indies, and he is now with the second brigade of Marines which makes it's headquarters in the Dominican capital.
 Santo Domingo was troubled with political disturbances prior to 1916, when the Marines occupied that country to maintain order. Tn sub sequent years the country has devel- oped rapidly and outbreaks of law lessness are now things of the past. The country is famed for its relics of who landed there on his first voyage to America in 1492, and the Marines find much to interest them in viewing the old fortresses and ruins, reminiscent of the early Spanish occupation.

 Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsi- fed in a cup or glass with a little warm water is all that is required. Simp ply moisten the hair with water and rub the Mulsified cocoanut oil in. IL makes an abundance of rich, creamy father. cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly. and is soft, fresh looking bright. fluffy. wavy. and easy to manage. Besides. it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Re sure your druggist gives you Mulsifled.
