FRANCES WILLIAMS
 IN STELLAR ROLE
Appears as Stella Dallas With
 Poli Players
tBy Herald Rsviewer)

From the heights of comedy drama last week. Miss Frances Will Hams of the Poli Players, this week plunges into the heart rending role of Stella Dallas and gives an inter- pretation of this tragic, sympathetic and altogether human mother role that is q treat to watch. Miss Will Hams is the big star of Stella Dallas and her work causes many ln the audience 10 openly wipe away the tears that at times cannot help but dim the eye. Miss Williams is ably supported by Ruth Lyons as Laurel Dallas and Walter Scott Weeks in the character role of Ed Mum. friend of Stella. who in the end turns out to be physical and moral wreck from the effects of drink and dope. In fact. Mr. Weeks acting Of the drug addict is so excellent that it sends shudder through the audi ence. His work is supreme in this part. Miss Lyons, a black haired, black eyed little miss makes her debut with the Poli Players as Laur- el Dallas and in her first major role with this company makes a distinct hit. Her work is convincing and svmpathetic. In her lighter mo- ments she is the typical. carefree young girl and in the more tragic parts she is the disillusioncd daugh- ter driven to hate the mother she always had loved.
 Others in the case include Patsy Ann O'Neal as the charming Mrs. Morrison, Edmund Abbey as Steph- en Dallas, Fanny Ray as Eftie, friend of Stella. Jay Ray as Mortley Smith, 3 lawyer, Adrienne Earle as Nancy Diggott and Harry Fisher as her brother and Robert Perry as the young Englishman. q guest at Mrs Morrison's house party.
 Miss Mildred Quigley Of this city has her most ambitious ro!o thus far with the Poli Players as Mrs. Hol- land, cold hlooded society matron, and later appears in the role or maid. Miss Quigley is excellent in her characterizations Vincent Cole man has the role of Richard Gros- mover, enamoured of Laurel Dallas.
 The story Of Stella Dallas needs little explanation. IL is too we'll known. but the work of Miss Will Hams in portrayins the mother whose sole desire is to have her daughter have the best chance for happiness even to the extent ot ln- tentionally deporting herself in such a way that the daughter Will leave her and live elsewhere where her advantages will be greater IS con- v;ncinr and altogether compelling.
 Next week the company presents "Jimmy's Wimmin . with Miss Ann Merrick in one of the, leading roles and Miss Williams again featured

AT THE PALACE

Bryant Washburn. who appears in With Sitting Bull at the Spirit Lake Massacre" which will be shown at the Palace tonight. is one of his finest bits of work.

Don't Put Powder
 on Baby s Face

Doctors say that powder just az gravates the trouble when you use it on baby's sore and intlamed but tocks. A mild. soothing ointment like ProX is better for it is healing. It protects the tender skin from ir- ritating discharges and banishes the rash almost instantly.
 Use ProN, too. when the baby is constipated or has diarrhoea-in- troducing it with the patent nozzle that comes with each package. You will find ProN valuable help when- ever baby cries at stool-for that is nearly always a sign of wrong con- dition that ProX can remedy. AL ways heals the soreness promptly.
 Keep ProX in haby's kit. You can get it at all druggists.

 Crime is not on the increase" de clared the warden as he stepped out of office. That is, the crimes that were rampant in the early days. The world, as far as the seasoned and atro- ciOus crimes are concerned. is getting better. The prohibition law is re, sponsible for marked increase in crime as far as the youth of the coun- try is concerned.

ject of timing. 1t is enough here
to say the player never will be a
golfer of class unless he can time
the swing so that the club face hits
the ball when il Is faced properly
and travelling at the right speed.
II only makes matters worse TO ap-
ply muscular exertion In order 10
get the right distance. Beyond the
necessary point, muscle Is not able
to add a particle to the efficacy Of
a golf swing. Almost anyone is
strong enough. The whole secret.
provided the elements of a good
swing are present, is in the timing.
Very few golfers are able to work
out the secret of timing for them
selves. The only thing for the
adult golfer TO do Is to take his
troubles TO the professional. The
child may learn timing instructive.
