Thousands of unsolicited testi monials from grateful women bear wit ness to its healing powers.

Ends Spotlight Career in New York Morgue HAD MANY ADMIRERS Now Names of These Are Be ing Brought Into Investigation of Girl’s Death BY ALEXANDER HERMAN Nea Service Staff Writer. YORK,. February 12.—’n a notorious Brodaway cabaret a table is vacant for the first time in years. It stands as a silent tribute to the queen that once reigned over it— nightly. For down tthe steep trail blazed by Dot King, and Either Broadway Butterflies who paid their tolls with death, has gone 24-yea?-old Louise Lawson. She came from Walnut Springs, Tex., to make her way'in the biff city—and ended in its mor gue! In the wake of her brutal mur der ip a costly apartment on the West Side just off Central Park, comes the usual sensation involving wealthy men prominent in financial and social circles. There are stories of wild nights, champagne parties, trips to the country, and “heavy-sugar” daddies. But soon there will be another queen, and Broadway will forget. For the mad merry-go-round whirls on and on. But down in Walnut Spring's they will never forget. For the Lawsons, prominent in the little Texas town, sent their girl North to develop her career. . She was talented, both as music ian and actress. Her family had high hopes of seeing her name blaz ed forth over some theater or con cert hall. But in the six years that she was here she did not get 'more than half a dozen theatrical engagements •—none of which were of more than minor importance. Her musical training was a bit more successful. Through her play ing she made many friends—some of whom arc prominently mentioned in the investigation of her murder. Her life became a gay one. She ipoved into a three-room apartment in the fashionable "Monastery"—op posite the Museum of Natural His tory. There she had a colored maid come in at 11 o’clock in the morn ing to awaken her and give her breakfast. For her parties usually broke up late. But one morning there was no. aw'akening her. This is what the colored maid found: Her mistress, dressed in a blue dressing gown, lying strangled in her bed, neath a pink blanket; her white wire-haired terrier pet "Texie” tied up in another room? drawers upset papers scattered all over the floor; jewels gone; a half empty champagne bottle standing on the ice-box; photographs thrown down on the red drape over the piano. Among these was one of Gerhard M. Dahl, former vice president of the Chase National Bank, now a broker and Chairman of the Exe cutive Committee of the Brooklyn- Manhattan Transit Company. His was the first name dragged into tho case. He is more than 50 years old, prominent in social life and married. His wife is away in Florida. ‘‘l have known Miss Lawson and her mother for some time,” he says. “She was a young woman of ex, cellent family, personal charm an 1 exceptional musical promise.” Police believe the motive of the crime to be robbery. But Broad way’s whisperings tell of other things. They tell of lavish presents, weal thy admirers, limousines that drove up to her door daily, night "revels and expensive excursions. Miss Lawson was oji the Angier B. Duke party when the heir of the $5,000,000 estate of Benjamin B Dyke was drowned in Long Island Sound last September. Her tragedy closely parallels that or Dot King, Broadway favorite, Who was found murdered tea months ago in an apartment just a mile away from Miss Lawson’s. Both girls were well known along the H hite Way. Both girls were round murdered in bed. Both were believed to have been killed by a> man. Both knew wealthy person;. Both were young and pretty. Hot King’s murder has never b’en solved. But the police sgy they are bent. °n getting to the bottom of the new mystery. Perhaps they will- But it won’t do the family down in W alnut Springs much good, their child is gone and their happiness shattered. o _____________ Adhesive, postage stamps were in vented in England by James Chal mers of Dundee in 1834.

L JR W II * '< LOUISE LAWSON FIGHTING PARSON MIRK Play Important Parts in “Held To Answer” Next Wednesday A story decidedly out of the or dinary is dramatically told in“ Held to Answer” with House Peters, play ing at the Rylander next Wednesday Peter Clark MacFarlane, one of the best-liked authors of the day, has never written anything more thrilling than this drama of a fight ing minister, an actress and the criminal courts. He has taken as his central character a young actor who deserts the stage to preach the word of God and serve humanity in a small Western city. An actre.-s friend follows him and, through jealousy manages to have him ac cused of theft. Mr. MacFarlane has woven a tale that holds one spell-bound. It is no wonder that the novel enjoyed the largest sale of any book ever published in America and it is said that the motion picture version is even more absorbing and thrilling. House Peters enacts the role of the fighting minister who conducts his l own defense when galled into conit to answer the.charge of theft. The important role of the actress j? play ed by Grace Carlyle who has seldorn, if ever, been provided 1 , with a part more suitable to her talents. James Morrison has the role of a young man who falls under the spell of the actress even to the extent of j robbing his employers to obtayi funds with which to entertain her. Evelyn Brent, the captivating Eng lish star, is seen as the heroine who falls in love with the minister and upholds him until he is vindicated. Others who enact the principal roles include "Bull” Montana, Lydia Knott and John Sainpolis.
