AMUSE ol e NG Ina Claire .in “Grounds for “ Divorce.” . ) A dramatic essay that mov ‘with spirit through three lively acts, pun- ent with satire on-modern murrluel Frethods and spiced with barbs of tru- fsms against very human inconsisten cles, came to the Shubert-Belasco last night with Ina Claire and Bruce Mc: Rae under the title “Grounds for Divorce.” Although Hungarians may | know how to write such plays with vigor and charm, Guy Bolton clearly demonstrates that he understands the art of putting them into English without losing that intangible yerve necessary to the adequate Pre tation of them. s Four thinga combined to make the Belasco Theater the scene of an en- joyable 150 minutes iast night. One was the vehicle, which—although not brand-new in thema or ‘motivatidg fmpulse—aftorded broad: epportuni- ties for the injection p-to-date dramatic effusions. The second was Jna Claire and Bruce - McRae. The third, the remainder of the cast. And the fourth was Bertram Harrison. Making the last the first. for ex- planatory purposes, let it be known that Bertram knows his .business When it comes tostaging a produc- tion such as this. His first act setting was a masterptece of perfection in balance, a Chinese motif, With. walls done in_appraved style, with/plctur esque Chinese miniature gardens and | Jittle arched bridges; and men iand women_scattered about, predominat- ing. The furnishings harmonized wonderfully well. They did not ob- trude and were such as to attract at- tention less through positive qualities than through' the lack of discordant .

Vext we have Ina and Bru Natural and effervescing with the two romp through their turned lines in a dellciousl sophisticated manner—it get what we mean. Bruce, as Mau- Tice Sorbler, Parisian divorce attor ney, rattling along like an expre train on the subject of the brutality of husbands who do not pay attention to their wives, at the same time do- i ing a masterly work of nexlecting his own spouse while freeing other ladies from males who are not doing half so good a job.

Mr. Va entino’s attention is hereby directed to Georges for instruction and profit. All in all, it's a good evening’s en- tertainment.

PA A Su; ?Njy to End Dandruff There is one sure way that has never falled to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. Tc do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to molsten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and two or three more applications will completely dissolve and en- tirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, all itching and digging of the acalp will stop Instantly, and your hair will be flufry, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred dvertisement.

MENTS Eddie Leonard, the Minstrel The reception accorded Eddie Leon- ard and his.minstrel bunch at Keith's last night must have warmed the cockles of the veteran's heart. From the minute of_his appearance to his final bow, ‘the” applause was unm takable and the weicome had the pearance of “home-coming-week” In a country town. Many personal friends occupled prominent seats and whooped things up to make Eddle work as never before. At the end of his sct he was almost ready to drop from exhaustion. Leonard sang vaerll new songs, but “Rolly-Bolly- Eyes" had to be sung, and a hurricane of applause followed.
