Big Early New Years Blaze

Wilmington was visited by an
other serious fire about $50 o'clock
on Saturday morning which wreck
ed the five story building at the
northwest corner of Seventh and
Shipley Streets occupied by the
Foord- Massey Company, furniture
dealers and the adjourning furni-
ture store of John T. Feeney. 7O9
Shipley street. The fremen were
handicapped by low water pres
sure and were forced to fight the
blaze for several hours to prevent
its spreading. The Foard-Massey
building originally the Almond
coach factory and later the Dock
stades Theater, is owned by Will
liam Beaden Kopt who places his
loss at from $4,000 to $4,000 he
having about $4,000 insurance.
The Foord- Massey Company's loss
is put at $4,000, covered by insur-
ance. The Feeny building is own
ed William Taylor, who puts his
loss at $4,000. Mr.. Feeny figures
his damage to stock at $4,000. Wa
ter also damaged the house, 107
West Seventh Street, adjourning
the Foord- Massey building. The
latter will likely be razed as the
walls appear unsafe, especially
that on Shipey street. The whole
block bounded by Seventh, Eighth,
Shipley and Orange streets was
for a time threatened with destruc-
ton.

Humor In "'The Movies

That there is deal of humor in
the display of the moving picture
palaces aside from the burlesques
put on by them is evidenced by the
following excerpt from the Penn
sylvania board Of censors with re-
gard to the portrayal of one of
Shakespeare's plays.
Here is girl just in her teens
conducting herself in most un-
maidenly fashion and opening her
window in the night time possibly
in the early hours of the morning
to a young man to whom she has
never been properly introduced.
This play abounds in the very
kisses and embraces and passion
ate love scenes which the board
has repeatedly condemned. There
are too many street brawls ofex-
treme violence.
Reduce these to flash OF about
ten feet. The board has frequent
ly announced it's disapproval CT the
administration Of secret sleeping
potions and all such scenes In the
play must come out. The ball
which Romeo and his companions
appear in may remain as it is
educational in character.
We take it for granted that our
readers have already caught the
fact that the criticism applies to
the immortal Romeo. But further
"Othello" wont do because "col-
ored man marries white woman
Such act is an offense in a number
of States. The Moors perforce
turn in their graves. Iago may be
cut out and Act V omitted.
"Antony and Cleopatra also
may be screened if Cleopatra be
omitted" Snakes alive and dead
play Hamlet without Hamlet!
King Lear" doesn't quite fit in
with the Pennsylvania view OF
pure domesticity. Lady Macbeth
would corrupt the young of both
sexes; Twelfth Night" upset the
morals of men.
But pure on the commonplace
vice and virtue and it passes. Nc
wonder we discredit the censor
as does "Merrie" England. Ir
movies" at ten cents Shakespeare
is harmful: at 50 in action it is
perfection.

Over Three Hundred
Sudden Deaths

According to figures just issued
the year 1915 was busy one in
the coroner's office. The total
number of sudden deaths reported
at the coroner's office was 1926, of
which nine were murders, 18 sui
cides, 18 drowning, 81 heart disea-
