NEW PHILLIPS. All Week High Class Vaudeville Would you secure a clear, perfect, elastic skin of youth the fresh rosy cheeks of an outdoor life, the color ing that needs no rouge paw? Take sand baths. This is the advice of f no less a person than the Countess Olga von Hatzfeldt who will Shortly be seen in this city as a leadlag member of the all-star cast of the latest LaSalle theater, (Chicago) production. "A Girl at the Helm." which the Princess Amusement company under the personal direction of Mort H. ' 8inger, will present: at the Gennett theater. And If the countess Is to be considered a fair example of the result of sand-bathing, there can be no Question but what the sand Wth is all that is claimed for it. Sand Bath Is New. '" The sand bath is a new one to this part of the country; and it is a novelty anyway that you look at it, tit it la really not a bath at all. No tub is required and no water is used in the operation. Indeed, the more enthus iastic, followers of - the. cult belieye that water as a means to cleanliness, la not necessary when the sand , bath Is available. The sand bath Is taken on a sheet ad the first requisite is three or four bushels of clean, dry sand. The only apparatus necessary Is the blower and even this may be omitted from the bath. Perhaps the most difficult article to secure in connection with the bath Is the sand paper which is used in the first course. This must be ot an especially fine and soft quality. Care must : be taken that it is "sand paper emery will not answer. In France a special article has been prepared composed ot finely ground and mounted on satin. This, howev er, Is not considered as good or as healthy at the ordinary sand paper by those who follow the cult. How to Take Bath. The Countess von Hatsfeldt, whose superb health and matchless complexion is the envy of every woman, who bar, gives the following description of a sand bath as she takes it: "A largo sheet of good strong linen Is first spread upon the floor. The temperature of the room should be little less than : comfortably 'warm, but there shquld be no draughts. About two bushels or more ot clean, t dry Mnd should be placed in a second sheet and slightly warmed near a radiator or stove, to be ready for use by Kttle later. The real luxury of saad bathing Is when you have two sheets fall of sand; one of which can be kept always warm. JC: srcbi2X you atajioV-U Cat

center ot the sheet. For the first course no sand is used. The sand paper which you must previously have procured, is held in both hands and used just as you would use a face cloth. The whole body is rubbed briskly but not too hard at first. Beginning with' the wrists and back of the hands, work up towards the shoulders, then rub - the neck -and throat and from there down the entire body to the toes. . Don't Take Off Skin. "No, it doesn't take off the skin and it isn't at all unpleasant unless the sand paper is too coarse. -But it does remove more or less cuticle than a dozen Turkish baths. It gives the live skin a chance to live and it takes off the dead growth ; which is useless. It simply exhilarates the live skin and does not scratch as migUt be imagined. When you get used to it you will be surprised at how hard you can rub yourself without any unpleasant feeling. f "After you have rubbed yourself thoroughly with the sand paper, the warm sand Bhould be used. You can manage this yourself if you have it, but a maid or some one to assist you can make this course much . more comfortable. The dry sand should be spread over, the sheet about an inch thick for you to lie on and then the balance of the sand must be thrown over your entire body bury yourself in it if you can. . Everyone does this at the beach quite naturally and the benefits derived from . it are well known. The indoor burying is even more beneficial for there you are1 protected from a sudden chill when you get up. " ' "Rest here as long as.you like al though it is not wise , to linger much longer than fifteen minutes. When you have finished your rest, start In and rub yourself hard with hahdfuls of sand. Rub every part of, your body and go at It as though you meant business don't be afraid to rub. Keepas much sand as possible in " the hands while you rub for the -benefit is in the sand, not in your hands. 777: Make the Body Glow. "By this time you wiU be ; fairly aglow, with health and already for the last stage ot the treatment. "This is ; the blast ? and it corresponds to the shower in : the water bath. The . apparatus' necessary for the blast is not complicated. I secured mine from Paris and I have heard they are now making them - In America and I think any tinsmith could manufacture one ' from the . diagram which I have drawn. All that is necessary is to arrange : the -. blower so that the sand is whirled out briskly and is fan shape. The one I own is operated by an electric battery, but you wiU see from the diagram that this is not necessary "Against every part of the body the sand must be blown as hard as you can stand ft. The effect is wonderfully stimulating and feels not unlike electricity. When yon - get through your body will be all a-Ungle. The blood will come to the surface as it shosid and it will be simply impos

sible for you to catch cold, for it effectually closes the pores of the skin without clogging them as soap and water does. "1 musadmit, however, that I have not yet reached the stage where I can get along without the old-fashioned water bath. But in Paris, where sand baths are most popular, there are a - great many who have found water no longer necessary to cleanliness. Indeed, I really v feel cleaner and look cleaner after my sand bath than I do after the water bath. f How to Treat Face. ' "For the face, special paper and special sand should be used. . And it is not wise to attempt tp use the blast on the face until one is fairly expert,' for there is the great danger of getting the sand in one's eyes. The sand paper should be used vigorously on the cheeks and nose and the sand rub should be equally as -hearty. It gives a complexion such as no amount of lotions or cosmetics could ever produce." ". . -" 7"'vvThe Countess von Hatzfeldts; fad for sand bathing is rapidly spreading among the chorus members of "A Girl at the Helm" company. Already a half dozen girls have taken it up, and the pictures produced herewith are of Miss Edith Gilbert who is an ardent devotee of the new cult and who posed especially for them. "Graustark." - Graustark, or A Love Behind Ea Throne by . George . Bar . McCutcheon, the popular. , author . of -; "Brewster's Millions" has been made into a thrilling romantic five act play- and will be presented here for the first time at the Gennett theater on March 11 with a notable cast of weir known artistic and massive ' scenic production. In fact, the management guarantees us the same identical company that will be seen on Broadway later in the season for an extended engagement As the book has been read by nearly everyone in town, a large audience will probably be In attendance. "The Land of Nod." An unusually delightful amusement event will occur: at the .Gennett theater March 4 when the spectacular production of the famous musical comedy - extravaganxa "The : Land of Nod" will be presented. The audiences are said to be kept laughing or applauding throughout the performance, while at the same time the striking beauties of the stage turnishment provide a series of constantly changing pictures which are a positive delight to the eye. "The Land of Nod" is admirable from all points of view. An ingenuous story la told by a group ot characters of the most original and fantasrUT conception. Among them, are The Man in the Moon," "The Welsh Rarebit." "The Sandman," "The Weatherman. "The King and Queen ot Hearts," "April FooL- -Ths -Jas Heaitav-

Telephone Man" and others equally unique. "Lion and the Mouse." "The Lion and the Mouse" by Charles Klein, which Henry B. Harris will again present here at the Gennett theater next Saturday, March 6 unfolds a perfectly simple and direct but powerful story, in which a girl pits herself against the most famous moneyed magnates "of the world. With her woman's wit as her only weapon, she enters the- lists against a powerful coterie of moneyed men and corrupt politicians, who have brought dishonor upon her father, who in his capacity of a supreme court judge, has rendered decisions inamicable to the interests of capital. Mr. Klein offers a powerful study of the financial king of today, placing in direct contrast a fine type of American womanhood. "The Lion and the Mouse" has been voted the greatest dramatic success of the age. The company is headed by Walter Edwards and Carolyn Elberts. The New Phillips. American absurdities are bad enough, but when it comes down to a real English absurdity, ("down,? because there is nothing quite as good as an American attribute) to the American judge, there is nothing quite so amusing. The map of the United States stands out all over Frank Maltese ft Co., who are on the ticket at the New Phillips for three days beginning tomorrow, but there is a real English element about this stunt of theirs, "The Wrong Mrs. Appleton." that not only provokes laughter but forces; it. There are some points about their several turns which would make a wooden Indian laugh. ' Just how Harlem Bros, can pull off some of their tunny acrobatic stunts without ; breaking about eighty-seven bones in their limber anatomies is inconceivable, but they do it and without a false move at that.' Rube Dickinson got onto the bills some way (nobody knows how) but he has made good and pulls off a rural monologue that gives the audience a session of the good old-fashioned simple life, with . a laugh for each word.'-; There are some other points to the bill which it doesn't pay to let get by. The Secret of Long Life. A French scientist has discovered one secret of long life. His method deals with, the blood. But long ago millions of Americans had proved Etoetric .
