New Drug Store Opened in Hotel "A Drug Store for Every body" Is Slogan of Fonte nelle Pharmacy. Something new and distinctive In drug stores is the new Fontenelle 1'harmacy, which has opened at the Hotel Fontenelle comer.

I happened to read the other dav bout i'hyllis Haver and some of the other beautiful bathers going in for more "serious sturf," and it recalled to me a memorable day in my cine matic career, A day spent with Marie l'revost. The day. the day, on which she wore, for the last time publicly that is, her bathing suit! 1 remember being awed almost to death at the mere idea of any one caring enough for the drama to give up a bathing suit in w hich one looked as the world knows Marie l'revost looked in hers. However, the sacrifice was ob served with rites! There was a lire i,.ti . i ti,. a,..,.. i l.VIVI Vl'lllJ 41 .11,11. 4 IIU llrtlllVV I rose to the sky and roared the might ;of surrender.

And not a tear from Maricl After all, when one has macksennetted in a bathing suit to the almost audible ap plause of the fan public for four years; when one has been acclaimed as a bathing beauty with the most capital B's ever recorded, it does take courage to cast aside the praise (and the paraphernalia). "I want to do something," Miss "Looks are accidental," Marie Prevost. declares Frevojt said, "not just stand around and look something. To look some thing is more or less accidental and no credit to me. Bathing girl pie tures were jolly but jolly is all.

Glad Songs of Ak-Sar-Ben Glories Choruses Prepared for Pageant Use Hold Color ful Melodies and Dramatic Charm and Should Delight the Listening Multitudes. 5: 1 Final Clean-Up Involving Dresses worth to $29.50 at sJ Exchanges Hgj pjj r ijjjsj Approvals J Returns , J By JEAN P. DUFFIELD. The knights of Ak-Sar-Ben have recently published four of -the choruses front the pageant "Coronado in Quivera," which is to be .produced at Ak-Sar-Ben field September 18 and 19. Of these, the text is by Hartley B. Alexander of the Univer sity of Nebraska, and the music by Henry Purmort Eames, formerly of Omaha and Lincoln, and now a resi dent of Chicago. The four choruses are entitled "Hail to the City," "Pot of Gold," "The Co.nquistadores," and "Far and Clear," all done in a neat 12-page booklet made to retail at 50 cents. The cover is decorated with a picture of Coronado and hia armored cavalcade with the Omaha skyline in the distance. The whole is printed in the Ak-Sar-Ben colors pleasantly modified to meet the re quirements ot an, artistic ensemble. And the .colors are by no means cc.nfined to" the title page. Read the music through and you will find a wealth of colorful melody and spark ling rhythms with a harmonic invest ment of varied chromatic shades. Mr. Eames has succeeded in writing music of gracious charm, light, with out being trivial; full of character, yet without a tinge of pedantry. He has served his melodies up with a plenti ful garnishment of (Spanish sauce, quite in keeping with the nature of the text. And if, as you play them, you catch intangible and evanescent echoes of 'Carmen," of "La Boheme," even of "The Valkyrie," you must at least grant that there is some thing in having a line of honorable and illustrious antecedents. Mr. Hartley's verse is far above the average of such occasional com positions and contains passages of real beauty and poetic suggestion. The chorus, "Far and Clear," is to be done entirely by school children singing in unison. The other three will be performed by 200 voices from the choirs of Fred G. EHis.Pr. i. M. Silby, J. H. Simms, John S. Helgren, F. A. Carlson and Bernard Johnson. The pageant as a whole promises to be full of gorgeous panoply, rich in historic interest, elaborate and spec tacular in the extreme. poT.mcAT, advertisement Vote for SAM K.
