POPULAR PLAYS
AT THE STRAND

If a vote were to be taken to-
morrow on the question of who is
the most popular male screen star,
there is not the shadow of a doubt
but that William Farnum, whose.
face is insured for S10O 900 and
who receives that salary yearly from
Mr. Fox, would be unanimously
elected. Of course before he enter
ed the cinema world Mr.. Farnum
was one of the best known actors in
the country. He created the heroic
characters of Ben Hur and Prince
Mahommed in The Prince of India
and originated scores of other great
roles. His popularity was great from
ocean to ocean. Since his enlist
ment under the William Fox banner
Mr.. Farnum has become familiar to
millions of new admirers from his
wonderfully telling work in the Fox
production of Samson and A Gilded
Fool.
In Philip Morrow, the governor
of a southern state and a professed
"Nigger-hater," who discovers that
he himself has the faint of black
blood in his veins Mr.. Farnum at
tains the most remarkable char
acterization even his fine art has
ever accomplished. 1t is in every way
a wonderful performance gagged
by any standard that Mr.. Farnum
give in The Niger" at the Strand
Tuesday August 81. as picturized by
William Fox under the direction of
Edgar Lewis, and the greatest work
of its author. the famous dramatist,
Edward Sheldon.
Without in the slightest degree
being guilty of straining for effect
or overacting Mr.. Farnum depicts
successfully and with wonderfully
compellant effect the changes in
Morrow from a care-free, ambitious
young man, with a great political
future before him, to the almost
tragic scenes in which Morrow learns
that he himself is one of the de-
spised race.

"A DlU NEUIvIUV

The third annual reunion of the
Pidcock family, held at the old
Neeley homestead two miles south
of New Hope, Friday, was attended
by more than one hundred members
of the family, and was voted great
success.
James N. Pidcock, the well known
Hunterdon county politician, who is
a member, wasn't present, and as a
consequence lost his Office of record
ing secretary; L. Raymond Stout, of
Lambertville being named to that
Office as we'll as of corresponding
secretary. Whether the head of
the Pirates was at his home at
Whitehouse Station, or out looking
after his political fences did not
appear, but for once he lost an
office, and in Bucks coonty at that
George M. Pidcock, of Bloomsbury,
N. j., was reelected chairman.
A committee on historical data
concerning the Pidcock family was
appointed by Chairman Pidcock,
comprising Raymond Pidcock, chair
man: Watson Dudbridge and George
H. Barber, of Lambertville.
The committee on grounds, also
appointed, includes F. c. Johnson,
chairman; Charles j. johnson, Charles
Moore, Arthur Stout, Howard Bond,
Theodore Ashton.
Eleven new members were present
and added to the roll: F. Raymond

ter, Titusville; Miss Mary Hill, Flem-
ington; Miss Bessie Moore, Mrs.
Charles Rose, Lambertville; Miss
Mabel E. Kelley, New Hope; John
R. Ashton and Gerva A. Ashton,
Tropico, California.
Chairman Pidcock related some
interesting history concerning the
Pidcock family, and their early
history in Bucks county, when they
owned the lands at Neeley's along
the Pidcock creek, and how some of
them were driven across the river
into New Jersey by the Hessians
during the American Revolution.
The usual luncheon was served,
and parties visited the old copper
mine up the creek, Bowman's hill,
nearby, and the old Colonial ceme-
terry along the banks of the Della
ware. The next meeting win be
held on Friday. August Is, at the
same place,
