chirurgical faculty of Maryland.
Resolutions were adopted by unani-
nous vote to petition the next legis-

state for the isolation of all classes of
colored people suffering from pulmon-
airy tuberculosis.
Among the speakers were DR.. VIII
liam H. Welch, one of the leading
medical men of the country, and DR..
Booker T. Washington. one OF the
greatest Negro educators in the coun-
try. The meeting was scheduled to
begin at eight o'clock and $50
o'clock there was a crowd outside
the church. Within ten minutes after
the doors were thrown open, shortly
after seven o'clock, the edifice was

were turned away from the doors.
A direct appeal was made by all
of the speakers to be clearly and TO
guard against disease as well as to
continue to make strides for adj

graduated the Negroes of Baltimore
on their educational facilities. What
you get from the city in the way of

In Alfred Sutro's brilliant comedy, The Two Virtues he has scored a genuine triumph, one that is reminiscent of the time when he was in the hey day of his metropoi tan success. the idol of New York. It is almost certain that he will fill cut the winter at the Booth theater. In his return to his first love MT. Sothern says that he is act ing purely for his own amusement, and getting a good deal more fun out of it than the audience. If that is true he must be having a mighty fine time.

 Oliver Moroscu .s certainly the luck fest man in the theatrical world to- day. Everything he touches turns to gold, it seems impossible for him to meet with failure, and one success follows another. The very latest is "TEe Cncha stened Woman" a three act comedy drama by Louis Anspa cher, which was produced at the 39th Street theater last Saturday night and scored an instantaneous and em- phatic success It is a play of modern life. in which three different types of women are opposed.

Probably the most interesting piece of theatrical news that came out of New York during the past week was iac announcement by Oliver Morosco that he would hereafter pursue a strictly independent course. and book his attractions wherever he thought le would receive the most benefit, whether il be with the Shuberts or Nlaw and Erlauger. This announce lnent caused a great Goal of surprise, Tor MT MoTosco has been closely al- lied with the Shuberts ever since he iHe..a1He prominent in the theatrical same. He gives as his reason for this move the fact that the Shuberts are excluding from their theaters the cri- ale of the New York Times. and that Jhe Times refuses to receive the ad- Nertisins of any production playing In a ShUhert house. which is at least au unusual excuse.
 Mir. Mcrosco maintains that honest criticism of thea tricaI productions is ln every way desirable. that the peo- ,'ic want il and the managers. in the long run benefit by it. He believes that his productions are. as rule good and he does not propose to be Iilced in a position where he must lose a great deal of very essential publicity On the other hand, when his work is not up to standard, and lis plays are not worth while he has uo objection to q critic saying so.

What Will Mary Do

Every OtlN We near SOnlGCnlnS new about what has happened to Miss Mary Garder, first she is at the point of death, then she proves herself very much alive in a vigorous denial of the fact. one moment she will be here next month and the next she will not sing this winter. The truth of the matter seems to be that Miss Garden is really very much exhaust ed as a result of her strenuous work for the sick soldiers in France. Quite apart from any embellishnent in press agent yarns, this fine artist has really been doing very noble and self sacrificing work for her be- loved Frenchmen. Hugh Allen, who is to be the assisting artist with Miss Garden in her contemplated concert tour, says that it is not true that Miss Garden has been operated on. She is very much exhausted and is now resting at her place in the High lands of Scotland, and that she hopes to be able to make her tour of the states, even though it be a trifle de- layed. Miss Garden has no intention of returning to Red Cross Hospital work until after the winter season.
 How About the Triangle
 What is to be the fate of the $2O0 movies? If one believes all the ad- vertisements say; they are fixture and d great financial success; but are they? In spite of the crescendo of applause that the various papers and magazines emitted on the introduc ton of this new movie idea, 1t is known fact that one picture of the opening bill has been retired.
 So far dt least, the Knicllerbocler theater venture in New York is financial success; but there is a difference of opinion as to whether it vii continue so. The main crit icism seems to be not that the price charged is too high; but that the management gives too much for the money, that two five reel plays and a three reel comedy is too much entertainment for an evening. Thir teen reels of movie stories is too much for the average man. It is hard on the eyes and few want to watch a screen that long, even if the pictures are, i1 every sense of the word remarkable Two dollars is a lot of money to pay for q good thea trical performance and it is q whole lot of money to pay TO see a nov i ing picture, even though it be the best achievement of the master minds of Inco, Griffith and Sennett, we re- verse the usual order; and only time can tell whether there are enough | people who are movie mad Co make it continuously successful.

on Saturday evening was decid-
ed succuss in"every way. The
young people of the town met in
this social and enjoyed them
selves in a way that would do
your heart good. There IS
something about the young peo-
pie of the community that speaks
for better community in the
future. In the big,gathering on
Saturday you could not help but
notice the good feeling among
them and the utter lack. of jeal-
ousy that is 80 marked IN the
liYes of some people. We are
glad that the young people of
this community are giving the
example to us who have jealousy
and lack of brotherliness in our
hearts.
The services on Sunday were

Open Air meeting in the evening
The crowd mum bered $50. This
we are thinking is something to
be thankful for and speaks well
for the community as a church
going community. We will ven-
ture that there was not in the
state another service with such
an attendance according to the
population.
Several have remarked that
the Open Air meetings is surely
the thing on these hot Sunday
evenings.
A solo on Sunday morning by
Miss Winnie Thompson was ap-
preciated by all who heard it.
Our hearts we're gladdened on
