RUSH Ahead With
DU PONT boulevard
Contracts Given For Con-
Struction From Selbyville
To Georgetown
LOWEST BIDS MORE
THAN $1,000 A MILE

General T. Coleman DUPONT. having
given out contracts for the conStruc-
ton of eighteen miles of good roads,
between Georgetown and Selbyyille,
it is now believed that he, unless in
terfered with. intends to carry out his
original project of building a State
long highway. a distance of 100 miles
as a gift to the people of Delaware.
This project was haiJeG by litiga-
tion a few years ago. but opposition
appears TO have died entirely out, ex-
cept on the part of a very few who
originally opposed the construction
of the highway.
One of the arguments advanced
against the construction of the road
is that the State should build its own
highway. but this would involve the
issue of bonds. and the financial
condition Of the State does not war
rant this If the road is built
throughout the State. it will cost
General DUPONT at least s1,5OO,0OO
He has stated his willingness Il
build the boulevard as far upstate
as a continuous right OF way is Sc
cured in fee simple. so that there
could be no litigation over right ot
way TO stop him. Deeds for the righi
of way already have been attained
from Selbyville to near Glendale
and General DUPONT is planning tc
build the concrete road tnat far
Bids for the construction of the
stretch of the DUPONT boulevard from
Selbyville to Frankford we're opened
Saturday afternoon at the DUPONT
headquarters. The award will COM
plete the contracts for Sussex county
and the entire distance from George
town to Selbyville has been let. The

ST. ELMO MAKES BIG
 MT AT THE LAMARA

When the Balboa P'oture company advertised that they had produced St. Elmo. the wonderful novel Of AslIsta J. Evans, with an affecticnate regard for the esteem in which tine author is held by tie reading public of America. the company did not overstate the case a bit. Exquisite care seems to have been used in every particular in obtaining just those optical effects that are transmitted to the intelligence. by read ing the book.
 To obtain such an effect as this, ar tistic concepts of the highest must be expressed through the medium Of the picture. This is done with great sue cess in St Elmo. The company operat- ing out of the picturesque Long Beach, Cal. found some of the show spots of the Sunshine Land' in which to take the picture. and the result is that no more beautiful tropical setting for q novel supposed to be staged in Louis iana could have been found. The act ing also is splendid, most capable cast of players having been selected. All in all. the production is d most agree able proof of the excellence of the Fox Film corporation releases, of which it is the second to be seen at the Lamara It will be shown again today.

"CAB|R|A" MIRACLE
 MOVIE AT ARIZONA

Of "Cabiria," the twelve-recler at the Arizona today for matinee and night, the Press says
 "G;Ibriele D'AnnunZio. Italian poet Gramatist. has written the drama and he has pointed the way for the great photo plays of the future. He evidently thinks in pictures. for his whole story Is unfolded in action with only few necessary bits of dialogue to help it.
 Many of the pictures are of a kind to capture the memory and hold it en- thralled. One sees Hannibal leading the Cdrthaginians. foot soldiers, cav airy, elephants, sheep and trains, over the snow and ice of the winter Alps in the march that surprised Rome In opposition there is the lovely sunset scene of the camel caravan on the Sa- nara. Indoors there are marble rooms with fountains or great courts with b- or or giant cars. These are not stage set, but solid structures as big as many public buildings.
 The acting equals the settings in quality. The three principal characters -Cabiria being very insignificant onc-arc SOphOnisbai Fulvus and the black slave. and it must be said that the giant negro, Ernesto Pagani who plays tho black, carries off the sym pathIcs of the audience if not the honors of the performance. To Italia Manzini. the Sophonisba, must go his trionic honors in high degree. She shows plainly the regal soul of which her princely admirer writes.
 Tt is evident that 'Cabira' could never De produced in other than pie ture form. The magnificent fire scenes, the tremendous scenic effects which are offset by pictures Of exquisite beauty. could never have been pro- duced except by means of moving pie , tures. It seems hardly fitting to class this picture with the ordinary every
 day photoplay. It is in class by ita self-far and away beyond anything
 vet attempted in this country or abroad.
 The romantic story. which is partly historical. begins with the saving of Cabiria. q beautiful Sicilian child oi l i've years, by her nurse on the day when Catavia. city in Sicily, is near | iy destroyed by an eruption >of Mount | Aetna.
