It is doubtful whether "I'Pagliacci"
could be other than a masterpiece,
considering l-.e circumstances In
which it was written, says the Cleve
land Plain Dealer. As a boy, Leon
cavallo (who;e death was recorded
some time ago) was present at a sub
urban theater in Naples, when he saw
a thrilling love dra.ma enacted in real
life on the stags, while as in the
opera the audience applauded' wildly
what they thought to be Intense
realism. Leoncavallo's father's valet
was the rival lover, and was in th
theater at the time. The actor sent
for him and stabbed him behind the
scenes. There was a further personal
link in the drama. Leoncavallo's
father was a judge, and It fell to his
task to try the actor-murderer and
to sentence him to 20 years' imprison
ment.

TO all who suffer from dandruff, from eczema, itching scalp, falling
hair or any other form of skin ailment that affects the scalp and
the hair, this is a message that positively means deliverance.
After thirty years of practical experiment and trial here is a rem
edy not a tonic merely a remedy that has already worked wonders
right here in this city. It is based on a formula that was
worked out many years ago and one that has been used
with astounding success among the few who were for

'MAMMA'S AFFAIR' GOES ON
Mrs. Morocco Atlaclieii Husband's
Scenery but Later Released It.
NEW YORK. Mrs. Annie T. Mo
rosco, who is suing Oliver M. Mo
rosco, theatrical manager and pro
ducer, in Los Angeles, for separate
maintenance, has brought a suit in
the supreme court here to recover
155,900 from her husband. Mrs. Mo
rosco alleges this is the balance on
169,700 in loans that she made to him
between July, 1916, and September,
191S.
On the ground that Mr. Morosco Is
not a resident of New York, his domi
cile being In California, his wife ob
tained an attachment from Justice
McAvoy against the theatrical man's
property here, to be held as security
' to satisfy any judgment that might be
rendered. Sheriff Knott attached the
scenery of the Morosco company play
ing "Mamma's Affair" at the Shubert
Riviera theater last week.
The sheriff also attached 1360,
which was all that could be found
to the credit of Mr. Morosco at four
banks on whom, a copy of the at
tachment was served.
"Mamma's Affair" had a date in
Buffalo which made the release of
the scenery imperative, however, and
counsel for both sides conferred and
the result was the signing of an
order vacating the attachment against
the scenery.
In her suit in Los Angeles, Mri
Morosco alleges her husband was
cruel. She also mentions an actress
with whom, she says. Mr. Morosco
has been spending much time. The
couple have been interested together
in the leases of several theaters and
productions. Mrs. Morosco com
plained she did not receive a proper
share of the proceeds.
