=Woman s Danger Signals=i
Hot flashes—dizziness, fainting spells, headache, bearing-down
feeling and ills of a kindred nature—are nature's danger signals.
The female disturbance or irregularity back of these calls for help,
should have immediate care and attention. Otherwise the delicate
female constitution soon breaks down.

In that theater during 1914.
Some strong attractions have al

Lytell-Vaughan season at the Alca
zar, and others are awaiting Mr. Da
vis' arrival at Gotham to conclude
negotiations. Owing to the unprece
dented dullness in eastern theatricals
just now, and the prospect of its con
tinuance throughout the current win
ter, the Alcazar expects to secure a
number of high class magnets that
could not have been engaged to ap
pear in any except "two dollar
houses" before the slump occurred.
Just as soon as Mr. Davis has closed
contracts, a list of whom and what
he has booked will be announced.

FEW FOLKS HAVE |
GRAY JIB NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are
Using Recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur
Hair that loses Its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless. Is caused by a lack of sul
phur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up a mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade of hair
which is so attractive, use only this
old time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy," which dark
ens the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell It has
been applied. Besides, It takes off
dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall
ing hair. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with lt and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears; but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
is that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after a few applications, it
also brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives it an appearance of abund
ance. Agents, Owl Drug.Company.—

Irish Play
Shows Life
On Old Sod
"Malachi Desmond," Greeted by
Large Audience, Is Well
Presented
"Malachi Desmond.'" a picture of
present day life on the "old sod," and
its author. Seumas O'Brien, were
greeted by a large audinece in the
Knight's of Columbus auditorium last
night ,and the Irish Singers and
Players club of the city, through
whose efforts the play and author
were presented, made a master stroke
for the benefit of the Irish theater,
which it is hoped to establish here
shortly.
Few actresses of the present would
ever attempt a character that passes
In the play's development from the
ago of 17 to that of 40, and fewer
still could ever make the passing con
vincing in its representation. That
Mrs. Fiske does this in "The High
Road" at the Columbia theater is an
unconscious tribute to the sheer art
istry with which she pictures Edward
Sheldon's remarkable heroine.
"The High Road" is a big drama,
and our most distinguished actress
makes of it a great human document.
Because of Its particular appeal to
women it has been one of jthe most
potent matinee plays In which Mrs.
Fiske has ever appeared.
The Alice Lloyd company of enter
tainers has more than caught the
favor of San Francisco theater goers.
Capacity houses at night have been
the rule rather than the exception and
the daily matinees are attracting
large audiences. The dainty come
dienne. Alice Lloyd, and Frank Fo
garty. "the Dublin minstrel," are a
show unto themselves. "Dance Mad,"
the big terpsichorean act, is a tre
mendous hit. The final performance
will be given Sunday night.
"Quo Vadis" is drawing large
crowds to the new Tlvoli this week.
This George Kline filmization of the
great novel is declared to be one of
the finest pictures ever attempted. It
shows all the great scenes in the book
with remarkable fidelity of detail.

WHISPERING
IN THE
WINGS
Hundreds have been turned away j
from Grauman's Imperial theater at
every performance since last Sunday,
when the film version of Jack Lon
don's famous story of the Pacific,
"The Sea Wolf," was first presented.
It is easily one of the-most realistic
Aimed version of a novel. In which is
vividly displayed the spirit of the
ocean, that has .ever been seen here.
The characterization of "Wolf" Lar
sen, in the hands of Hobart Bosworth,
is a masterly portrayal.
"The Sea Wolf" will be seen at
Grauman's Imperial up to and includ
ing Saturday night. Commencing Sun
day, the world's classic masterpiece,
"Les Miserables," by Victor Hugo,
France's greatest author, will be
shown for the flrst time.

The Empress bill this week flour
ishes with an abundance of comedy,
music and novelty offerings. The fit
ting feature of the season is a little j
playlet called "Louis' Christmas." j
Edna Aug. the charming little come- '
dienne. offers an original bit of act
ing entitled "Folks is Folks." The
Dancing Mars and five other features
make up a splendid bill.
Beginning next Sunday afternoon a
spectacular musical novelty will top
the bill. "The Bower of Melody," in
which there are 10 ef the most tal
ented musicians in vaudeville with a
carload of special scenery.
* * *
The most pretentious aquatic spec
tacle in vaudeville will be presented
at the Orpheum next Sunday with
John F. Conroy as its principal fea
ture. He is surely worthy of his title,
"The World's Greatest Life Saver,"
for he has rescued 137 persons from a
watery grave. Mr. Conroy is assisted
by two charming girls, both very
beautiful and magnificently developed.
Ed Gallagher and Bob Carlin will
present the nautical travesty. "Be
fore the Mast."
A performance that is entirely
unique and along lines peculiar to it
self will be offered by Bert Levy, "The
Famous Artist Entertainer." By an
arrangement of lights and lenses the
marks he draws on a small disc are
enlarged and thrown "on a white
screen. Several other new acts also
are included.
* * *
"In Laughland," Bothwell Browne's
rollicking musical tabloid, is proving
one of the breeziest productions
which has been presented before the
Pantages footlights in many a month.
Alexander Kaminsky, the Imperial
Russian violinist, is creating a posi
tive furore with his splendid clasajfiai
program. "The Sacrflee." a stirrVhg
romance of modern Mexico, is one of
■the hits of the bill.
Next week's show will have a
gorgeous scenic dancing tragedy en
titled "The Princess of Kama" for
its headliner. The cast, which is a
large one, numbers several well
known local society girls. Charlie
Reilly, a prime local favorite on both
sides of the bay, will offer for
flrst time on any stage a beautifnir
playlet of the emerald green, 'The
Bells of Shandon." Reilly will be
supported by a cast of eight.

"The Girl in the Taxi," a three act
mixture of mirth and melody, is to
be presented at the Alcazar next
Monday evening and throughout the
week, with Evelyn Vaughan and Bert
Lytell leading the stock company and
several specially engaged artists, in
cluding the popular singing comedi
enne. Myrtle Dingwall.
All the principals will be heard in
song. Mr. Lytell and Miss Dingwall
are sure to be pleasing in the prett<
duet, "Kiss Me," and the popular lead
ing man is scheduled to sing "A Mem
ber of the Midnight Crew." "When
a Maid Comes Knocking at Tour
Heart" is the prettiest number in
Miss Vaughan's selection.

"The Common Law." the clever dra
matization of Robert W. Chambers'
greatly discussed novel of the same
name, has created the same sensation
here as in the other cities where It
has been produced and is playing to
crowded houses at the Savoy theater.
The play is a faithful presentation of
the love which a well to do artist of
aristocratic lineage and his beautiful
model, Valeric WesL have for each
other and of her desire to make him
happy in her own way.
It is a capable and willing little
company that has been sent to the
coast by Producer A. H. Woods to In
terpret "The Common Law" and
George Kelly, who was last seen here
in "The Virginian," makes a manTy
and likeable Louis Neville, the artist,
while Virginia Berry is cast to a
nicety as Valeric West. T
"The Common Law ' will be contin
ued at the Savoy theater all of next
week, with a matinee on Sunday and
bargain matinees Wednesday and Sat
urday.
