SEE
EASIEST Way

THE Easiest Way" is the best play
that has been presented at the Avenue
Theatre thus far this season. When
Frances Starr made the hit Of her
life in the role of Laura Murdoch"
In the original production, her inter-
probation could not possibly have been
any better than that given by Miss
Lucille Mravlag yesterday afternoon
and last night. The work of the
leading woman OF the CONFESS Play
ers was simply superb. Edwin Rob
ms, the leading man, repeated the
success he made with Miss Starr in
the part Of John Madison"
The Avenues Easter week bill has
caused so much discussion. that bis
things were expected, and the aud
fences were not disappointed. The
house was crowded last night and the
applause was ais frequent as it was
hearty. The play was an immense
success; il was "A triumph. Mr.. Rob
ms was greeted most cordially The
Avenues clientele we're anxious 70
see him play John Madison just as
he did with the original company.
They we're satisfied; decidedly so. His
portrayal Of the part showed a ia
miliarity with the lines that was a
treat. He was strong in all Of the
situations.
Miss Mravlag never did better work.
In the emotional scenes she was good
very good Her acting was soul
inspiring. II was as far ahead Of any
thing that has been seen in Whining
ton In years as Julia Marlowe is ahead
of a melodrama star. This compari-
son is not overdrawn. Miss Mravlag
was the equal Of Miss Starr; let this
be known.
The staging OF the drama is elab-
crate and the bill Is thoroughly good.
As a result, crowded houses will be
the rule during the week Manager
J CONFESS knew what he was doing
when he selected this drama as an
Easter week attraction. His wisdom
will be proved in many ways.

NEW VENTl.ATING FOR
PASSENGER COACHES

A new method of ventilating the
passenger coaches have been struck
upon by the Pennsylvania Railroad
officials after several years of ex-
perience. Up till the present time
the only ventilation the passenger
cars have received has been through
the doors and windows, which proved
very unsatisfactory.
Several experts have been nut on
the test trying out a new scheme and
now all the passenger coaches are
equipped with a new ventilating
system. This system is an arrange
ment underneath the seats, which
lets the foul air out and the fresh
air in. This method does not injure
the health of the patrons in any man
ner and 1t is just sufficient to keep
the cars comfortable

ELOVE POINT


MThe fishing at Love Point this winte
has been the poorest for several winter
and it is very hard of the fishermen whl
depend on the winter fishing for living
The weather has been too warm tt
drive the fish to deep water.
There is quite lot of sickness here
this winter as the weather has beer
ideal to bring on grip-colds.
/ Capt. T. B. Cockrell has arrived here
from Baltimore where he will engage
in fishing. He will use the pound style
of fishing and we wish him success.
The farmers in this section are getting
ready for their spring planting, as the
| season has been favorable to them and
planting will soon be started. They
are growing tomatoes on large scale
here as they have an up-tO-date cannery
I in Stevensville, also have good outlet
for the goods in the Baltimore market,
as the sail boats carry them very cheaply
to the Baltimore canneries.
The prospect for building here looks
good for this season as the Love Point
Beach and Park Co., are going to erect
several houses and cottages and several
Baltimoreans will also build summer
homes here. The Love Point Land q
Improvement Co., will also build several
cottages and bungalOes for summer visi-
tors. Robert Nc Pherson will also build
himself a handsome residence this
spring.
The M. D. & V. Ry Co., are making
extensive repairs to their pier here, but
not before it was needed.
The young folks of Love Point are
going to give a minstrel show in the
dance hall of the Hotel Love Point on
of this week and judging
from the rehearls, it will be very good. |
The proceeds are to go to the Love Point
Base Ball Club.
Miss Jane Reed Anderson, the young
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Ander-
son. who has been very sick at the
Baltimore Hospital is much improved,
very much to the satisfaction of all, as
We all love little Jane.
