ALWAYS Popular

Ever since the first exhibition here
Lyman II. Howes moving pictures
have been popular and the patronage
has increased ON each return visit.
This demonstrates the fact that they
always have genuine merit. The en-
tirely new program to be given in the
Colonial Theatre on Tuesday, Febru-
airy 81, will include points of interest
in foreign lands. as well as up-to-date
happenings in our own country. Mr..
Howe's exhibitions are always filed
with new humor, which serves to keep
the audience in happy mood; then,
too, from an educational point the
value of the Howe pictures cannot be
overestimated. 1t is truly an enter

HARBoR IS NOW OPEN
Much Open Water Is TO Be
Seen In The Harbor
And Bay.

Annapolis harbor and the lower p0r-
tions of the bay are now open 60 nav
igation. Where once land for long
timel was an unbroken stretch OF ice,
can now be seen open water. The
three hundred foot channel being
dredged by the government seems TO
be tile favorite channel for captains
and their tows and this morning it
was entirely open, there being but
little drift ice to impede the passage
of boats.
Out in the bay the water was plain
" seen from shore and many passing
crafts were discerned. Even without
a glass, however, it was apparent that
drift ice impeded progress to a con-
siderable extent. The schooner Hattie
Bell, bound for Norfolk, and which
has been lying in the harbor for some
weeks started out at III O'Clock this
morning under sail. She moved down
the channel at fair rate Of speed
and when the open water of the bay
was reached she came up in the wind
suddenly. Before all of the sails
could be spread she had been taken
aback and it was thought that serious
damage might be done her steering
gear by coming in contact with the
ice. This danger was averted, how
ever. and she proceeded down the bay
at a speed which indicated there was
plenty of water ahead.
On that portion of the harbor which
still remains closed were assembled
this morning q large number of
skaters. An ice boat was skimming
across the smooth surface at a speed
greater than that of an express train.
The only living thing about the water
front these days that does not seem to
have suffered from the ice embargo
are the gulls. They have Jared well
this winter, getting good living from
the refuse which has been thrown
onto the ice from the stranded boats.
