THIS week the management Of the Ger
| mantown Theatre has promised to
hand over q part of the proceeds of the
movies to Department Six Of the Army
and Navy Branch of the Southeastern
Chapter of the American Red Cross, and
there is quite some furore in consequence,
parties being planned to take place either
before or after the performances. Head
quarters for the purchase of tickets have
been established at the Kelly pharmacy,
on Germantown avenue near School
House lane, and every afternoon last
y week two or more girls dressed in Red
Cross uniforms were to be seen in a
gayly decorated booth selling tickets as
fast ,as they could make change. Mrs.
Churchie Williams and Mrs. Carl Will
lams they're not related, you know
have worked valantly to make the week
q success, and judging from Monday and
Tuesdays audiences I should say they
have surely accomplished their design.

lace Reid This is just what took place
recently at movie. when a party of eight
entered one Of the theatres and were
obliged to scatter here and there, for, of
course, It Is never possible to find eight
seats together. Well, the wife of very
handsome and unconsciously worshped
husband sat directly in front of two girls,
and this is what she heard: "Oh! -

Imposition and such silly twaddle kept
up until the very good.looking and ex-
