SKIIINER LOST HIS WAY HUNTING FOR THE OPERA HOUSE
Mysteries of Richmond Unraveled for Him by Reporter Who Is Invited to Star's Dressing Room. BOOTH TARKINGTON IS WRITING PLAY FOR HIM Packed House Last Evening Greets Return of the Artist And Thoroughly Enjoyed Excellent Play.
"Pray, my dear sir, are you a resi dent of this town?" '
"Yes, Mr. Skinner," was the reply of
a vagrant reporter.
"You can doubtless tell me then of
the location of the theater."
And Mr. Otis Skinner repaired to
the theater a few minutes late.
"Yes," said Mr. Skinner as he sat In the dressing room amid the makeup pots, "I have lost myself in your
beautiful city."
Mr. Skinner then began making up his mobile countenance with remark
able alacrity. The process was fas
cinating as he put in wrinkles and
sabre scars and changed his Amercan mustache to a Gascom mustaschio. Ag he leaned over the dressing table
for his dresser to part the back of
his hair he closed his eyes. Mistake in His Makeup.
"That's not straight," he said, "part
It -again," and the operation was re
peated until It met with Skinner's
satisfaction. "What am I ging to play next?"
I know and I don't know, I have a
mediaeval play which Miss Peabody
Is engaged In. But she has gotten married and gone to Germany. A
happy combination! For if her husband does not altogether engross her
she will have the love element and the moyen age color to draw from at first hand." 'And then your fellow
statesman Mr. Booth Tarkington and
Mr. Wilson are doing a play for me. This play is a sort of tri-partite col
laboration that Tarkington and Wil
son are doing. I furnished the theme and the character and then the thing
began to evolve." " Always Likes His Part.
1 always like the thing I am doing
at the time. The work of recreation, or, I had better say creation, goes on all the time. No matter how many times a play is presented, the actor takes his pleasure in making it a new study every time. "The' play, I do tonight has been likened ,to Dumas D'Artagnan perhaps. It is a character study. I am getting a little tired of the purely romantic characters although they take with the public. I am touching on dangerous ground when I speak in this way. Indiana and George Barr McCutcheon are turning out this sort of thing by the ream." la a -Consumate Artist. There was no question when Mr.
Skinner came on the stage last night
in his dramatic entry at the end of
the first night act that he was a con-
sumate artist. He towered over the
rest of his company in some respects but even that was necessary to the artistic presentation of the character
Col. Phillipe Bridau. It reminded one of Mansfield in Cyrano de Berger-
ac. But there was not the slightest
plagiarism of acting. It was simply
that the swaggering, bouyant, playful, cavalier was like that other Gascon who made sonnets as he ran his op
ponent though with his rapier.

ECZEMA CURABLE? PROVEN! Attorney at Moline, III., Convinced by Oil of Wintergreen Compound. There is nothing that will convince a lawyer except evidence. Now, here is some rather startling evidence of a simple home cure for eczema which convinced one lawyer, F. C. Entriken, attorney at Moline, 111. He tells how oil of wintergreen compound mixed with thymol and glycerine, as in D. D. D. Prescription, cured him in thirty days after thirty-two years of suffering. "For 32 years," writes Attorney Entriken, "I was troubled with eczema,
scabs all over my face, body and
head. I could run a hair brush over my body and the floor would be covered with scales enough to fill a bas
ket. I tried everything salves, internal medicine, X-Ray all without
result."
"Just a month ago I was induced to
try D. D. D. Prescription. The itch
was relieved instantly; so I continued
It is just a month now and I am completely cured. I have not a particle of itch and the scales have
dropped off."
"J can only say again CURE DIS
COVERED. I am now starting all ec zema sufferers on the right track."

The Best Cough Syrup Is Easily Made
at Home.
It is not much trouble to make the cough syrup suggested in
this-recipe any woman can pre
pare it in five minutes. It is much cheaper and better than
tha snnfh and onlit niAillrlniig V
you buy.
Put 2Vz oz of Pinex in a pint bottle, then fill up - the bottle i:with Granulated Sugar Syrup, "made as follows: Take one pint of Granulated Sugar, add onehalt cup of water, stir and let boil just a moment. Take a tea., spoonful every one, .two or three hours, as required. The taste is very pleasant, and If kept well corked, it never spoils. It is equally good for all members of the family, regardless of age. This simple article usually stops a deep-seated cough in twenty-four hours. ; In making this, -however, do not expect good results by using any of the numerous pine oil or pine tar preparations. None of these compare with the : real Pinex itself, which is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norway White Pine Extract. All druggists have it or can get it very easily on request.
The total cost of a full pint
of this unequaled mixture about fifty-four cents.
