the five foremost leaders of young peo
ple in Methodism and is known as an
institute instructor from coast to
coast. He will be assisted by a corps
of capable teachers, who, with him,

SOAP IS BAD
FOR THE HAIR
Soap shoulil he used very sparing
ly, it' at all, if you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps ,
ami prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This ilries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it-
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanyt oil;
(which is pure and greaseless) it is
cheaper and better than soap or any- j
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will i
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with l
water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dnst, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it lenves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, brigjit, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
(it must be mulsified, plain cocoa
nut oil will not do) at any phar
macy, and a few ounces will supply
every one in the family for months.

"Diplomacy"
The coining of any one of Charles
Frohman's stars is always an occasion
of interest in the course of a local the
atrical season, but the arrival of three
at once, and this three distinguished
and established players, becomes some
thing of an unusual event. The re
markable announcement is made that
Mr. Frohman's "tri-star" combina
tion, William Gillette, Blanche Bates
aival Marie Doro will be seen at the
Majestic Wednesday evening, May 19,
iu the revival of Victorien Sardou's
"Diplomacy." The association of the
three players is in itself a tribute to
Mr. Frohman's diplomacy, tact and
powers of persuasion, for to complete
the trio it was necessary to bring Mr.
Gillette out of a retirement which at
one time promised to be permanent. He
has not acted since 1910.—Adv. *
Lusitania Picture To-day
The moving picture of the Lusitania
sailing front New York on her ill-fated
trip across the Atlantic, which was
shown at the Colonial Theatre yester
day, will be continued as part of the
new program at the "Busy Corner"
playhouse to-day. This picture cre
ated a great deal of interest and at
tracted large crowds to the Colonial at
all shows yesterday. The heudliner
on the new bill of vaudeville present
ed the latter half of the week at the
Colonial is headed by the Monte Carlo
Girls, a musical comedy organization,
presenting the sort of spectacular act
that always draws big houses to the
Colonial. The rest of the bill includes
Millicent Doris, a singing comedienne;
Morris and Wilson in a comedy sketch
and Deodata in an exhibition of magic
and illusion.—Adv. *
Victoria Theatre
To-day is bargain day at the Vic
toria and a bill of an exceptional
character has been arranged. The spe
cial offering, "The High Hand," is
a powerful silent drama iu five parts
and features one of America's' great
screen artists, Mr. Carlyle Blackwoll.
"Monsieur Wickola Dupree," a two
part Thanhouser, and "A Bear Af
fair," a rip-roaring Keystone comedy,
will also be shown. To-morrow we
will present for 'the first time in this
city that great plav that is world fa
mous, "The Devil.'' This remarkable
production taken from Franz Molnar's
powerful book, features Miss Bessie
Barriseale as "Isabella."—Adv. *
Palace Theatre To-day
"Wild Irish Rose," a Gold Seal two
reel drama showing at the Palace to
day, reea.lls in many of its details the
tragic romance of the great English au
thor, William Makepeace Thackeray.
Thackeray married early in life and
soon after his wife went hopelessly in
sane. The author never married after
ward and during his life paid sad pil
grimages to his demented bride. Al
though feled in both America and the
British Isles wherever he went and en_-
couraged by some of the wealthiest
women in both countries, Thackeray
never took much interests in women
thereatfer. His sorrow tinged all his
works. ,
In "Wild Irish Rose," a young
Irish nobleman's wife goes insane soon
after her marriage. Living strictly up
to the laws of his church, the young
lord refuses to marry again, although
in love with a charming lass. For
years he faithfully attends his insane
wife and only turns to the lass, who
loves him, when his wife dies at last in
delirium.
"Wild Irish Rose'' is a charming
story, charmingly told by the princi
pals, Cleo Madison and Joe King, who
plays the part of Captain Roderick
Allen, of Her Majesty's Cavalry.
George H. Hall has written a play
which should appeal to those'who like
an old-fashioned romantic drama of
the "old country." Charles Giblvu,
the director, has produced it fn sur
roundings which rival those of Kil
larney.
"The Heart Breakers," with
Charles Ogle and Isabel Vernon, in
two parts, is also shown to-day with
other good single reels.—Adv. *
