DeMille, with Geraldine Farrar in the roal of Joan, will begin an engagement of four days next week at the Regent, start ing Monday. Although Miss Farrar a year ago acted in three short photoplays, "Joan the Woman," will mark her first ap pearance as the star in a cinema drama of length sufficient to com prise an entire evening's entertain ment. Ihere is a certain timeliness about the story of Joan of Are. as it has been reported frequently from France that public interest in the Maid of Orleans never was so keen as at the present moment. Although the story or "Joan, the Woman." written for the screen by Jeanie Macphersin, has been carefully guarded, it is said that Mr. DeMille and Miss Karrar have touched upon this feature of modern ism in relating one of the most fasci nating stories of medievalism. Nothing more strikingly portravs the lavishness with which "Joan, the \\ oman," has been staged than men tion of the members of the cast. The hero is played by Wallace lieid; Ho bart Boswortli, as La Hire: Theodore Roberts, a Cauchon; Raymond Hatton. as King Charles VII. and Charles Clary, as La Tremoille.

An added attrac tion on the bill is Bessie Remplev and Company, presenting- the symbolic You, and th act, together with Charles Ledegar, clever come ?j"'? on the tightrope; Lewis and White, two young girls in a daintv song offering, and Mack and Earl, in a breezy song and patter skit, round out the bill.

This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and lis very harmful. Just plain mulsi | fled cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better • than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for sham pooing. as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it In. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes, every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves It fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store.

Miss Thomas has been called by Harrison Fisher "The most beautiful American show girl." Tills play, produced under the direction of Thomas H. Ince, contains many beau tiful settings, most of them being laid at Palm Beach, the fashionable winter resort. Olive Thomas, the star. Is probably the most photograpned beauty of the day, being one of the celebrated "Midnight Krolic" girls on New York's well known roof garden. To-morrow only. Triangle will offer a drama of love and politics, "Her Ex cellency. the Governor," starring Wil fred Lucas and Elda Miller. Friday and Saturday the Greater Vitagraph will present an unusual drama of diplomtic intrigue, "The Message of the Mouse," by George Randolph Chester. It is not unusual for photodraniatic ptrtists to be seen in dual roles, but the versatile j I'nnnlr Ward at Lasky-Paramount the Hegent To-day star, Fannie Ward, goes these one better by appearing in three characters in her forthcoming produc tion, "The Crystal Gazer." which will be the feature attraction at the Re gent to-day. Miss Ward in this un usual story, plays as the mother and two daughters, and with her splendid dramatic ability, gives each a dis tinct characterization, and at no time is one confused as to their identity. To those'unfamiliar with lumbering operations in the big tree districts of California. the announcement that Wallace Reid and Kathlyn Williams will be seen to-morrow in "Big Tim ber," will be of unusual interest. "His Bridal Night." in which Fred erick V. Bowers is to star this season is one of the promised the "lll* atrical good things of th Bridal year, and will be presented Mght" at the Orpheum for an en- , gagement of one night, next Monday. It lias tested the capacity of all the theaters in the larger cities. "His Bridal Night" is an ingenious farce in which one of two twins is married, quarrels with her husband on their wedding flay and convinces herself that she loves another. Where upon the other twin, who really loves the other young man, pretends to be the bride, which causes many some what risque complications. These are said to have been handled so skillfully by Margaret Mayo, whose "Twin' Beds" is well remembered, that they give no offense. It was played last year as a straight farce, but the management decided this year to make it a musical comedy and engag ed Mr. Bowers, whose song hits have made his name famous throughout the land, to write the music as well as to play the leading role. The twins of the play will be played by the Warren Twins, whose wonderful like ness and dramatic ability fit them for the part. Alma Youlin will sing the prima donna role. Others prominent in the cast are: Sue Talmage, Harry Lillford. Billy Wayne and Milton Daw son. A chorus of pretty girls will aid in the musical and dancing numbers. El Coto, the xylophone player, who is the feature act on the bill at Pax tang this week is one of Paxtang the few musicians in vau- I'ark deville who ever-succeeds Bill in attracting more than passing notice. But it is different with El Coto. He has won himself an enviable reputation in every quarter of the world where vaudeville is played and all be cause no other artist ever succeeded In getting quite so much real music out of the xylophone as he does. An other act on the park bill that is at tracting considerable attention is Jeane St. Anne, the French soldier singer. Not only is Jeane St. Anne an excellent singer, but the fact that he was wounded while serving in the French army during the present war wins him much enthusiastic applause from the park audiences. Other acts on the park bill are: Bothwell Brown and Company, in a spectacular dancing offering; George Moore, the clown Juggler, and the Cycling McNutts, in a whirlwind com edy bicycle act that is about the fastest act of its kind in the business. To-morrow evening an elaborate fireworks display will be shown at the partk. A varied as well as a beau tiful assortment of bombs and rockets will make up a large part of the pro gram. together with numerous set pieces of special design.

The prices fixed by the President for coal in Pennsylvania are $2 a ton for run-of-mine coal, 12.25 for prepared sizes and J1.75 for screenings or slack.

In a Pittsburgh cold storage warehouse sixteen cans of eggs out of shell were found that were unfit for food and tliev were tagged and are being watched by agents that they are not sold for food purposes. It has been a practice of some bak ers to use rotten eggs in baking but the raids on the Philadelphia shops disclosed four offenders who were immediately prosecuted. In ad dition six other arrests for the sale of rotten eggs were made. A new brand of grape Juice has been found to be bleached with sul phur dioxide. WA It WORK DISSOLVES FIRM New York.

A Word of Prices and How to Meet Them The average increased cost of production in 53 different lines of merchandise, ranging from silks to hosiery has been over 2 1 per cent. Transportation charges have, also greatly increased and continues to increase. Our Army and Navy are taking thousands of workers from the normal production of goods. We are not only financing a great portion of the civilized world but we are being called upon to feed the people of war ridden countries. , / These are a few causes for high prices, which we believe have not reached high level. And so Bowman's will try to meet the conditions help fully. . We have been preparing with interior remodeling to facilitate the handling of a larger volume of business and with heavy advanced buying to such a degree, that we fully expect to do the largest business in our history. There will be plenty of money circulating in Harrisburg. We will carry more complete lines of moderate priced not cheap—goods than ever before. We will carry fine merchandise of course; but plenty of the better goods at popular prices. There will be a lessening of profits distinctly to your advantage. And in presenting goods of reliability at very moderate prices, together with superior service, we believe that we shall perform a patriotic duty. Our advice to you is to buy in reasonable quantities for reasonably future requirements, for merchandise cannot cost less in any event for a long time to come —and is practically certain to cost more. usefulness, satisfaction and economy.
