An Easy Way to Remove Dandruff If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if vou don't. The best way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it. To do this, just apply a little Liquid Arvon at night before retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp, and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications should completely re- move every sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get Liquid Arvon at any drug store. A four- ounce bottle is usually all that is needed. The B. L. Watkins Co., Cleveland, Ohio. Exury adtertherment in PHOTOFPLAY MAGAZINE ts puarantced. PuHorortay MAGAzinE—ADVERTISING SECTION — FANS | HAVE KNOWN By ROBERT E. SHERWOOD Il.—The Neglected Lover S I sat down in a more or lees deserted section of the balcony, I received a mean look from a youth who, together with his girl, occupied the seats directly in front of me, The twa of them were so close together that they could easily have occupied one seat if the usher hadn't been watching them, The theater was dark and fairly empty, and the lovelorm swain was evidently at- tempting to make the most of those ficet- ing moments that he was spending with his lady friend; and she was not unresponsive. In fact, they were haying a pleasant spoon. He therefore resented my intrusion, But he was soon to forget about me, for just after I arrived the feature picture started, and the lover was confronted with competition from an Opposite source. It was John Barrymore in “The Lotus Eater,” As the star's name was flashed on the ecreen, the girl cried out gleefully and shingily. “Yea, Bo!" and IT knew then and there that the hapless young man was in for a bad evening. “Why the "Yea Bo’ stuff?” he asked, “Don't you see who's in the pitcher?” The youth evidently had not. “Why, it's Jack Barrymore!” her empha- sis was extreme. “Jack Barrymore!” “Whonell’s Jack Barrymore?” inquired the irreverent youth “I never heard of him in pitchers.” ‘Say"—her voice flamed with scormm— “T spose you never heard of Warren Hard- ing or General Powhing or Babe Ruth or—" “Listen, kid. I didn’t mean it, Don’t you see, I was Aidding?” He tried to laugh it off, but wasn't very convincing. “Well, save your kidding for someone else,” she conceded. He took her hand and leaned clocer, whis- pering something in her ear which I de- liberately tried not to hear. ae Cate ww ‘Li ye “A hair-cut, ch! Jack Barrymore a dry, mirthless laugh. get a hair-cut!" She gave Suddenly she emitted a joyful squeal, and almost jumped from her chair. “Oooo lookit!” she cried, That's him!" “That's whom?” “That's hint, Jack Barrymore, you hick, Ooo, fookit him, Lookit those eves, that profile, that throat!” “He looks to me like a ham,” was the youth’s caustic observation. He might as well have cast aspersions on the American flag. “Say, listen to me, Ed Necker,” said the girl, in a voice that carried far and car- ried authority, “you shut up this minute, or I'll never speak to you ugain, Never—as long as I tive!” Ed was only slightly chastened. “Well, why don’t he get a hair-cut?” he asked. The girl, for a moment, was stunned by the enormity of this insult, “A heir-cut, eh! A HAIR-cut! Jack Barrymore get a HAIR-CUT!” She gave vent to a dry, mirthiess, and highly ingult- ing laugh, snorted, and then relapsed into a frigid silence that Jasted throughout the rest of the picture. Ed attempted to reason with her, and snid “Lissen, honey,” several times, but she paid no attention to his pleas. Her only response was 2 series of tremulously ecstatic sizhs, delivered in the direction of the sereen whenever the divine John succeeded in sil- houetting his profile against the setting sun. Finally, when the picture came to an end, and the pair left the theater, I could see — at feast three feet of daylight between them. — *> * & ‘ “There he is, Ed Necker has a new girl now, and he occasionally brings her to our Jocal movie palace, but only to see films of which Ben Turpin, Will Rogers, Bull Montana, or “Snookey” are the stars.
