TULLY'S "OMAR"
OWES STAR MUCH.
Guy Bates Post Comes to Apollo Next
Monday in Rubaiyat Play.

Unquestionably much of the popu-
larity of Richard Walton Tully's
"Omar, the Tentmaker," which comes
to Nixon's Apollo for three days COM
mencing Monday, December 27, with
a matinee on Wednesday, can right
fully be ascribed to the performance
of Guy Bates Post in the role of Omar
Khavyam. Although one of the youn-
gest prominent stars upon the Ameri-
can stage, Mr.. Posts great ability in
romantic parts as evidenced by his
rare Interpretation in "Omar, the
Tentmaker," has securely entrenched
him as one of the foremost leaders of
our stage.
The widespread appeal made by the
play based upon the life, times and
the Rubaiyat of the Persian poet,
Omar Khayyam, is another important
factor in the success of "Omar." The
thrilling escapades, enchanting love-
scenes, massive scenic embellishments
delight alike matinee girls and the
ever-present "tired business man."
while the unobtrusive introduction of
many of the best known q~uatrains
from the Rubaiyat is highly pleasing
to devotees of the best in literature.
The same numerous and splendid
company that supported Mr.. Post in
New York has been retained, and the
elaborate incidental music composed
by Anita Baldwin is a pleasing feature
of the performance. In addition to
the three evening performances there
will be a matinee on Wednesday.

HUBIN
Is Doing Work for Pleasantville

During the past week, while in Will
mington, Delaware, he went and saw
the DUPONT people personally and
tried to induce them to locate one of
their big ammunition plants near
Pleasantville. They asked Hubin all
kinds of questions pertaining to large
vacant lands, railroad sidings, housing
accommodations for from three to five
thousand of their employees, etc.
Hubin sure did boost Pleasantville.
Hubin also stopped off in Philadelphia
and saw the management of the Bald
win Locomotive Works, who were
much interested in the talk of Mr..
Hubin about Pleasantville and ground
for n of their big Locomotive plants.
And Hubin has also sent out over 100
letters in the last month to the big
manufacturing plants, telling them
the many advantages they will have

DEATH OF A YEAR OF DEATH.

Since the time of the third century
Christmas has been celebrated as a
day of joy in honor of the birth of
Christ, our only perfect man.
1t has ever been our policy to speak
of Christmas in tones of gentleness,
and love, and compassion, and hu-
mility; in words of praise and thank
fulness for the blessings of the year
that would soon pass into history.
Now we approach the glorious
Christmas day with feelings of sor-
row, and sadness, and regret, for we
are soon to witness the death of a
year of death.
Today, when we should revel in the
joy of living, we are consumed with
compassion for our brothers who are
perishing in the blood soaked trench
es of Europe.
We are weighted down with sor-
row for the unfortunate women and
children who must bear the burdens
of the greatest and most destructive
human blight the world has ever
known. y
Our hearts are saddened with re-
gret that the meek and gentle spirit
of the Nazarine is forgotten in a wild
and bloody carnage of death and de-
struction.
Nineteen hundred and fifteen, a
year of death, will soon reach its
own fitting end-in death.
There comes a time in the life of
every person when neither tongue MOI
pen a express the language of the
heart.
1t is so with US as We write of this
Christmas day.
Our face should be turned toward
the Christ, yet in vision we see
the crimson stained fields of Europe,
the famine ridden land of Mexico, the
diving race of the Christian Armeni-
ans, on every hand the grim and ter
rible spectre of harsh, violent, sudden
and agonizing death.
Death of a year of death!
Farewell, 1915! May we never see
your like again!

PLEASANTVILLE REPUBLICANS
OUT FOR EDGE.
Pass Resolution FavOring His Candi-
dacy For Governor and Ask
Support OF Voters.

Support OF Voters.
At the regular meeting of the
Pleasantville Republican Club last
Wednesday evening, with more than
fifty of the members in attendance,
Senator Walter E. Edge, of Atlantic
City, was picked as the Clubs candi-
date for Governor, the vote of the
members being unanimous. This is
Senator Edges boyhood home, and he
was highly elated when informed of
the action the Club had taken. The
sentiment for Edge has been foment-
ing in the Club ever since his name
was first linked with the gubernator-
ial nomination, and the climax was
reached when the organization went
on record as ~favoring him. The fol-
lowing is the text of the resolution:
Whereas, The voters of the State
of New Jersey will be called upon to
select a Governor of the State at the
next general election;
And Whereas, For the first time in
the history of the State, Atlantic
County appears to have a good chance
for the nomination of a candidate rep
resenting the Republican party;
And Whereas, A depleted State
Treasury, caused by continuous but
unwarranted raids made upon it by
representatives of the Democratic
party while in power, means the i'm
position of a direct State tax upon the
people of the State unless there be
selected a man of great constructive
ability and long business experience,
especially trained in State affairs, full
ly comprehending its needs and cog
infant of its in order that
the State may be financed by means
less burdensome to the property own
ers;
And Whereas. We recognize in the
person of the Hon. Walter E. Edge a
mar of sterling character, possessing
every attribute necessary to bring
about a successful administration of
the affairs of the State of New Jersey;
Now, Therefore Be it Resolved. that
we, the Republican Club of the City of
Pleasantville, in meeting assembled,
do hereby endorse the Hon. Walter E.
Edge as a worthy candidate for the
Republican nomination for the high
office of Governor of the STATE and
recommend him to the thoughtful con-
slderation of every Republican voter
in u Great Commonwealth, and,
Be it Further Resolved, That we
pledge ourselves to use all honorable
means to effect this nomination.

PORT REPUBLIC. ~


The sudden death of Wilbur Hick-
man, Jr., cast a mantle of gloom over
the community. The lad was the
youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur
Hickman and was a student in the
Atlantic City High School, in the
eleventh grade and attended school
until Dec. 18th, when he was taken i'll
with pneumonia, the disease result
ing fatally on Friday, the 18th.
Wilbur was a lad of great promise
and his school record locally and in
the Atlantic City High School was ex-
~ceptionally good.
Funeral services were held on Tues
day in the Methodist Episcopal
Church at 2 o'clock. The services
were conducted by Rev. J. w. Veal.

Now we come to the grand climax
of Gods mercy and grace. The Jew

Gods grace and mercy are to extend
to the whole world of mankind-every
creature for whom Christ died. The
time for dealing with the world has
already been appointed by the Father

will be the great spiritual King Of
earth: and His Church will be asso-
ciated with Him as His joint-heirs and
assistant rulers, rewarders and punish

taught that to doubt the creeds would
constitute them heretics. and that pun

did not hasten. The sinners might live

Gods Mercy was manifested toward
Abraham's posterity-Isaac. Jacob. and

the twelve tribes into one nation. ce-

MANY CANDIDATES FOR
TAX BOARD POSITION

There promises to be an interesting
contest for the appointment as mem
Der of the Atlantic County Tax Board,
and candidates are already in the
field. P~leasantville presents the name
of Joseph H. Bradley and will leave no
stone unturned to land him. Mr..
O'Donnell, of Hammonton, chairman
of the Republican County Executive
Committee; Thomas B. Williams, of
Atlantic City, the present incumbent,
and Hugh P. Genoe, former president
of the Board of Tax Assessors of At
iantic City, are also in the field. Two
of the present members of thu Board
are Democrats, so that the appoint
ment, which comes from the hands of
the Governor. will be a Republican.

in a department requiring men skilled

Board of Trade Elects Officers

year 1916 were elected as E0llows:
President, Elmer C. Bates; vice-presi-
dent, Townsend D. Shovel; secre-

The impression prevails among
many of the members that an organ
ization of this kind should offer ex-
cellent opportunities for public dis
cussions for obtaining a fair under
standing of many of the complex
questions that often times confront
the city authorities. Several of the
officers have expressed themselves as
favcring a comparative study plan of
municipal affairs with the n~eighboring
towns.

interested citizens to become mem

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caus-

lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
