At the Strand.

~ ZIG III o''Ss
The pages of Mark Twain's tom
Sawyer opened again before a local
audience and out walked Tom and
Huck, Becky Thatcher, Injun Joe, Muff
and all the others upon the screen at
Potter, Aunt Polly, Widow Douglas.
and all the others upon the screen at
the Strand Thursday for the first OF
two days showing. Half the receipts
for the two days go to the Y. NJ. G. A.
fund, which is sufficient warrant for
attending even if the film did not it
self deserve patronage, which it most
assuredly does.
Many of the important episodes that
Mr.. Clemens worked into the Tom
Sawyer book are visualized in this
five reeler, which is shown under the
name Of "Huck and Tom" or 1.-The
Further Adventures of Tom Sawyer,
being a companion picture of tom
Sawyer" shown several months ago.
Few grown-ups can look at this pic
ture and not be carried back to the
time when, as boys, they sprawled on
the floor enthralled by the adventure
Of the murder in the graveyard, find
ing Of the lost treasure, or the thriller
of Tom and Becky getting lost in the
cave where Injun Joe starved to death
and the treasure was found. If their
elders chuckled at the memories of
long ago, the youngsters who were
present laughed and applauded when
they saw that about which they had
so recently read.
Protected by dead cat, whose vir-
tue lay IN being a wart remover. Tom
and Huck start the first reel with the
midnight trip to the graveyard, where
they became the Mortified witnesses
of the murder for which Muff Potter
was arrested and tried but which In
jun Joe really committed. The/trial
of Potter, with Tom as the star wit
ness for the defense, and the escape
of Injun Joe follow and lead up. to the
discovery of the treasure in the
"hanted" house, after the fever to dig
for buried treasure had attacked Tom
and Huck. Following the sequence Of
the book there is the terrifying ,ex-
perience of Tom and Becky getting
lost in the cave, where Tom stumbles
upon Injun Joe hiding the treasure
and finds way out with Becky, to re-
turr' triumphantly home to grief
racked parents and relatives.
Lesser thrilling incidents of the book
are Peters painkiller experience,

At the Casino.

Vaudeville and pictures is the week
end offering at the Casino. The most
pleasing feature of the bill is Lamont's
performing cockatoos, which do var-
Gus Stunts" with an intelligence that
is quite remarkable. The birds waltz,
perform on the horizontal bars, so to
a fire in burning house where they
rescue the bird inmates and throw out
the furniture, and do other things that
are very interesting. The Loos broth
ers have an act in which they intro
duce some good singing, land have
line of talk that brings many a laugh
from the audience. The George
Clancy trio are seen in sketch that
is semi-patriotic, in which they sing
and present comedy offering that
seemed to please the audience.
The picture is a comedy entitled,
"Automoniacs," featuring Alice Howell,
that is full of rapd-fire action, that
keeps the whole company constantly
on the jump until the finish. The
Pathe news weekly is shown also.

Hot Weather Suggestion.

Apropos of the hot spell, Health
Commissioner Blake of Baltimore CAV,
some good advice which, in these days
of temperatures of "a hundred and
then some" degrees, it would be wei!
for everybody to observe. DR.. Blake
said:
1.-The hot weather affects most seri
ously the very old and the very young,
and they should be extremely careful,
especially regarding their food. In
fants and children should be kept oui
of the sun and dressed as thinly as i
consistent with propriety and shout,
be frequently bathed in cool water anc
all indiscretions in diet should be avoid
ed. AS a rule, babies at night should
be kept on the first floor IN two story
houses, as the heat from the roofs il
weather like this is extremely depress
ing.
Old persons should not walk out il
the streets, exposing themselves to tht
ulTcSL VI lbC OAi'B 114SGE c'h1SStt@S~
ly necessary. For the active business
world l would say that great care
should be exercised in eating and drink
ing, especially stimulants, and in &C
Invites. One of the most importan
things to remember is that we shoult
not permit ourselves to worry and FIRE
or get undulY excited. We shoui'
avoid burrying too much, keep oil tn
sunny Size of the street, not discus
hot weather with others. : cool bad
in the morning and evening is not onl.
refreshing but relieves nerve tension
and blood pressure, and is therefore
strongly advocated.
People ought to close their door
and windows early il the morning All
keep them closed during the heate
time of the day. Persons should b
careful to recognize the first symptom
of heat stroke, namely, slight giddl
ness, or what is ordinarily known
faintness, sometimes slight nausea an
possibly a tendency to drowsiness.
