This is the old time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredient. m .., . While wispy, grif, faded hair is not inful, we all desire to retain our youth ful appearance and attractiveness.

Not withstanding the intense heat, how ever, a general air of good natured humor prevailed at the studio, due to a great extent to the unfailing gaiety of the diminutive star erself who is a general favorite. During the after noon. Director Kaufman had several gallons of Ice cream sent in, which the "boches" extras and the star alike, consumed with gusto and rel ish. The picture will run oft the reel as smoothly and coolly as if the ther mometer had been at a normal posi tion, and when It appears at the Ant lers theatre tonight It will doubtless win instant success for itself, as It is a wonderful version of the very popu lar play as it appeared on Broadway.
