MAORILAND PICTURES.

LON CHANEY’S LATEST. Drama —elemental and primitivein a picturesque Eastern settingsweeps you along “The Road to Mandalay.’' Was Kipling right when he said “Never the twain shall meet?” This dramatic thunderbolt depicts the meeting of East and West—life through Oriental eyes—takes you through the mysterious haunts of Singapore and Mandalay—guides you through the picturesque maze of life in the Far East. And just think of the cast! Lon Chaney —the Man of a thousand faces —in a make-up that defies nature, as “Singapore Joe,” the blind outcast whose name was feared from China to Malay. Owen Moore as “the Admiral,” a renegade naval officer who won redemption through a pure girl. Lois Moran as Rosemary, a flower cherished by everyone in Mandalay, and most of all by her unknown father. H, B. Walthall as Father James, the saintly priest —and brother of Singapore Joe. So jin, noted Japanese actor, as Chinee Charlie Wing, the sinister knife-thrower of the Orient.

YOUTH VIBRATES IN PAULINE

GARON.

There are so few women on tRe stage or screen whose complexions require no make-up, that to find one is a rare occurrence. .Among ’ the few in America is Pauline Garon, appearing in the Banner production ‘ ‘The Love Gamble ’ ’ _to the local theatre on Monday. Miss Garon lias what is known as “spun gold” hair, with a skin of texture so delivate that to touch it is like touching the petals of a flower in early "bloom. “What’s the secret of your complexion, Miss Garonf” asked an interviewer, “I’ve never learned it,” she laughed. , “I think that Topsy, of Uncle Tom’s Cabin fame, had a skin that was like mine in one respect, at least, “It jest jgrowed. ’ ’ Miss Garon seriously attributes, the beauty of her skill to her childhood life in Canada, where it was subje6ted to the cold air in winter and the balmy breezes that cross the great lakes in summer. “You’ll notice, usually, that people who spend much of their time in the open air, are inclined to have lovely skins,” she said. It seems to me that this applies as much to city dwellers as to those who occupy the great open spaces. A good, pure soap, frequent washing—and air—those are all the skin medicines I need —or, for that matter, all that anyone needs, who suffers from no primary skin afflication.!’
