the fender, being a special object for
examination, was found to be in good
condition, and the distance from the
fender to the top of rail was seven
inches.
"The evidence seems to indicate
that Miss Bachelor was struck by the
side OF the car in a way preventing
the operation of the fender, though
witnesses testified that Miss Bachelor
stood upon the track and that the
mOt6rman, seeing an automobile in
the distance. sounded his whistle
very distinctly. This is attested by
several witnesses. and we find no
blame attaching to the operator of
the car.
Miss Bachelos was apparently in
good spirits, her hearing and eye
sight were not defective. according
to the evidence OF Mr.. Hunt. at
whose house she was Staying, and we
are unable to ascribe any reason for
the accident other than confusion
that may have existed in her mind
by reason of the attendant excite
ment prevailing upon the presence
of the group of carol singers. 1t was
in evidence that an automobile was
standing beside the car track, with
its lights directly shining upon the
tracks of the railroad and in a way
SO that its lights would have ten
dency to blind the operator of the
car. The fact. however, stands out
that the electric car was moving at
a comparatively low. rate of speed,
and the rnotormsn applied his brakes
quickly and stopped the car within a
few feet after striking Miss Bach
elor."
The Public Utilities Commissioners
state that they believe that cars
operating in this vicinity should be
equipped with light of higher power
than that which was in operation al
the time of the accident-one that
would throw a CLEAN at least 100 feet
farther than the one in use at that
time.

Alkali in shampoos
Bad For Was ina Hair

Many soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much free alkali, which is
very injurious. as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this Is pure
and entirely greaseless. 1t Is mex
pensiye and beats anything else all
to pieces. You can get this at any
drug store, and few ounces will last
the whole family for months.
Two or three teaspoonfuls Is all
that is required. Simply moisten
your hair with water and rub 1t In
1t makes an abundance of rich
creamy lather. which cleanses thor
ougbly, 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.

Keith CLARK and McCul-
lough.

The closing of several big revues
for the season has thrown exception
ally good entertainers into vaudeville.
Clark and Mccullough, who are head
ing the bill this week at Keith's. and
the first to show here, are undoubtedly
among the leaders in their class.
Bobby Clark, with his original fun
making. has gone up the ladder of
fame in bounds instead of by steps.
His work helped materially in making
living Berlins Music Box Revue
one of the seasons successes. McCul-
Tough is foil for Bobby, and he is a
good one. Two little skits are pre-
sented. the first ''The Interview gives
the pair a chance for a lot of silly
patter with a girl reporter. many Of the
jokes and sayings being at the expense
of the lawmakers on the hill. The
second skit is THE Bath Between" "
Both occupy about forty minutes, and
thirty nine Of them are taken up with
laughter.
The act of Marceile and his sea lion
is unique. Marcelle does not resort to
feeding the animal to get him to go
through his tricks. The act stands out
with unusual prominence.
Other good features on the program
include Millard and Marlin in an
original dancing and talking act that
went over with telling punch; the

Of power and charm. And to say
that Jane Cowl displays the best of
her ability as Juliet is to say that
there has seldom. If ever, been played
Juliet more pleasing than the per-
formance by this lovely and wistful
actress. who seems. indeed. the fair
daughter of Capulet in Shakespeare's
romantic tragedy, which opened last
night at the Shubert- -Belasco Theater.
At the first glimpse of Miss Cowl
as the innocent and totally unso-
phisticated maiden of sixteen sum-
mers one rather wishes for the ac-
tuality of the promise of New York
managers of Juliet by some clever
girl-actress still in her teens. but
before Miss Cowl has carried on for
more than a few brief scenes it
youthful player could imbue the au-
dience with the actual feeling and
appreciation of her many chIIdlike
emotions to better effect Nor could
any less finished tragedienne sur
pass Miss CowI in her more mature
scenes. In the bedroom soliIoquy,
where she works herself up over the
possible outcome of drinking the
sleeping potion, she throws her whole
soul into the scene with an utter
recklessness that thrills with its
reality. The tragic pathos of the
death scene is done with admirable
fervor, and yet with equal ability she
assumes the unrestrained joyousness
OF wild love and an all-consumipe
passion in the balcony scene, SO
often considered the making or
breaking point of the play. The
scene in the moonlight is one of
exquisite naturalness.
Miss Cowl is we'll supported by
Rollo Peters as Romeo. He plays his
part with sureness and ease. His
reading of the lines is flawless and he
makes a perfect counterpart for Miss
Cowl, never attempting to rise to the
display of superior acting. More than
for his playing is he to be praised for
the design Of the production. The
stage settings and scenic effects
reach high-water mark Of art Sim
plicity of design and form combined
with vivid color effects prove an ex-
cellent background for the piece.
Dennis King as Mercutio is dash
ing, debonnaire, jaunty and fiery. He
plays with verve and eagerness. yet
mellowed with delicacy and subtlety
that wins admiration and much ap-
plause.
The cast as a whole is excellent.
Every part is carried off with real
finish. There is not weak member
in the entire cast. Jessie Ralph in
the amusing and playful role of Ju-
lets nurse and Gordon Burby as the
hot-tempered and commanding Capu-
let, Juliet's father. merit special men
