“Believe me, there’s nothing like Mennen” E.V.D. Paul, who used to ride the range in the cow country, has the real cow- puncher’s slant on shaving. Here’s a letter I got from him recently: “Keeping the beard down on the round-up and riding herd—with al- kall water and a dull blade—is no joke. That's why I prized my Mennen Shaving Cream—and still do—almost ag.much as I did my horse. “Believe me, there's nothing like Mennen. I had all the stubble mowed 5 or 10 minutes before the other boys had stopped howling—with a clean, smooth face that felt bully. Mennen sure softens the whiskers— they just fall away when the old razor starts to go,through. “I've been a Mennen fan since 1914 and I expect to use it as long as my whiskers are rarin’ to grow.” Pretty straight from the shoulder—he knows. You'd talk the same way if you knew. That's why I want to make a proposition. Send me a post card and I’ll send you—FREE=—a special Demonstra- tion Tube of Mennen Shaving Cream. I want you to use it until it’s all gone, because by then I know you'll be a reg- ular Mennen customer for life. % inch on your brush will build the biggest, firmest, wettest bank of lather you eversaw. The ease with which your razor slips through the whiskers will convince you that everything I have said about Dermutation—the Mennen process of absolute beard-softening —is true and then some. Honestly, you'll be amazed at the quick, clean, smooth shave you get—no scraping or pulling—a shave that stays shaved all day. If you don't want to bother to send for the free Demonstration Tube, you can buy a big tube—good for five months of daily shaving— for 50 cents. If it doesn’t thoroughly convert you to Mennen, send me the tube. I'll refund your money, plus postage. eee Now about after shaving. There's nothing quite like Mennen Skin Balm.

It is called “White Wings” and it is magnificently, even superbly, dull. In the hands of a Gilbert, it might have been juicy stuff, for it contains a valid and happy satiric idea; but in the hands of Barry it turns out to be just a bore. Barry has taken a family of white wings, as proud of their genealogical tradition as the present New York descendants of Seventeenth Century Dutch cheese makers are proud of theirs, and has essayed to show them in conflict with the advance of the times, embodied in the invention of the automobile and the consequent gradual disappearance of the all- important road apple. But all that he has got out of this tasty idea is a meandering, strained, repetitious and very amateurish burlesque consisting of a Lew ds’ “Round the Town” horse, some awful puns and some forced shenanigans with stage props. IV “Kata” the Shubert operetta, has some nice tunes by the Bavarian composer who, un- less my informants err, was born Hans Winterfeld, but who has adopted the tonier moniker, Jean Gilbert. It also has a passable libretto and it is sufficiently well staged. Furthermore, its comedy element is not so bad. But, gentle- man of the old school though I am, and ever ready to defend the ladies with my chivalrous Virginia blood, I am yet constrained to protest against casting the leading réle with a lady apparently so advanced in years. Against ladies of advanced y have, in general, nothing; but whe producers cast one of the otherwis estimable creatures for the breath- taking, beautiful and aphrodisiac prince: I fear that I forget myself. Age may be all very well for drama, but musical comedy calls for youth—and at the top of its lungs. There i place for the old girls in drama, but when the band strikes up all genu- inely serious critics and dyed-in-the- wool wsthetes demand something under thirty—both in the matter of years and calf circumference.
