Coming Attractions At
The Opera Houss

George M. Cohan's recipe for a
happy entertainment as presented
in his new Aircraft picture, Seven
Keys to Baldpate," at the Opera
House, Monday, January 2lst, is
an ideal prescription for the most
morbid crouch. In his new film
tonic, George M. has mixed with
exact proportions, mystery, thrills
and laughter, with a sweetening
dash of love as a tribute to Cupid,
all of which will work the desired
result upon men, women and chill
dren alike.
Many of the exterior secens in
"The Call of the East" in which
Sessue Hayakawa, the japanese
| actor, is starring at the Opera
House on Tuesday, January 22nd,
were taken at Bear Valley, the
famous beauty spot of California.
Others were filmed in the crowded
streets of Chinatown, San Francis
CO, and a few at the huge Para
mount studios at Hollywood, Cali
fornia. "The Call of the East"
promises to be one Of the most
popular Of the Japanese stars re-
pertoire.
Demure Tsuru Aoki, tiny wife Of
Sessue Hayakawa and who has CO.
stared with him in many of his
most famous Paramount pr0duc.
tions, appears again in support OF
her husband in "The Call of the
East" a thrilling drama Of the
Orient and America in which that
star is to be seen at the Opera
House.

RED CROSS
WORKERS NEEDED
All Women Urged To Help In
Work

eff we only had warm clothes we
would not be here, but fighting
better in France" men are saying
in the hospitals in France. From
the hospitals themselves come the
most urgent appeals for more sup
plies, surgical dressings and hos
pital supplies.
The following hospital supplies
have been asked for from the Della
ware Chapter of the Red Cross,
and should be completed early in
February: 900 bed jackets, 500 bed
socks, 400 hot water bag covers,
1000 surgical towels. Those who
can use their sewing machines at
home are urged to take the much
needed hospital supplies and turn
them back, finished as rapidly as
possible. For those who prefer to
sew at headquarters, the sewing
machines are waiting and the gar
ments are cut out and ready to be
made up.
1t will take many hours Of faith
full work to supply this demand,
and the women of Delaware must
accept as great a responsibility, as
is expected of them, from the gov
eminent at Washington to accom-
plish this work.
Word has been received from
France Of the imperative need at
the front and in the billets of
warm, knitted articles for the pro.
lection and comfort of the soldiers
Brilliantly as the local knitting de.
partment shines for filling it's al.
lotment and over, there is always
need for more knitted goods fol
our men to take with them as they
go to the camps and then 60 "ovel

Equally insisted is the call fol
more surgical dressings. Major
Grayson Murphy is constantly
cabling from France for a contin
ual and enlarged supply of dress
ings. The Wilmington Chapter
alone, is requested to supply so
900 dressings a month. Everyon,
in Newark who can find time fol
knitting is urged to call at head
quarters for yarn for the work.
