Popular Actress in "Young Romance"
at the Regent Theatre To-day
To-day is the last to see one of the
Lasky productions in moving pictures
where Edith Taliaferro is preiftnited as
the charming Broadway star in
"Young Romance." Founded on the

A modern photo-comedy of romantic
youth.
The Regent theatre is certainly
! showing some of the most wonderful
j moving pictures in the world to-day.
| Equal to the Metropolitan cities where
! people are paying big prices.
"Young Romance" tells the humor
; ous and appealing love story of two
! department store clerks, a girl and a
' young man —Nellie and Tom. They
j have never met at the store but both
go to the same fashionable seaside re
j sort during vacation week, each de
! termined, under false colors and as
j sumed names, to taste, for once in a
| life time, the pleasures of wealth and
! society. Nellie, (played by Edith Talia
. ferro) pretends to be a Fifth Avenue
heiress, and is pursued by an unscrupu
lous fake count, from whom she is
rescued by Tom. They fall in love but
separate because they are both unwill
ing to confess their deceptions. How
ever, they meet under normal condi
-1 tions the very first day they return to
\ work—and everything ends happily.

THE HAIR BEAUTY
THAT BELOHBS TO YOU
8o many who have long known
that hair beauty was certain to fol
low upqn systematic hair care have
been loath to commence what they
mistakenly think too much trouble.
Proper hair care means only keeping
the scalp and hair perfectly clean by
use of some preparation made for
shampooing, not for general cleans
ing. Von can enjoy the best that is
known for about three cents a sham
poo by getting a package of Canthrox
from your druggist. Dissolve a tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water and
your shampoo is ready. After its
use the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruff, excess oil ami
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap
pear. Your hair will be so fluffy
that it will look much heavier than
it is. Its luster and softness will
also delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which insures
hair growth.—Adv.
