FORMER ATLANTIC cOUNTIAN
WRITES FROM FAR NORTH.
Rev. Wallace Sutton MARBLE Now
Stationed In Alaska.

The following letter from Rev. Wal
lace Sutton MARBLE, formerly pastor of
the Hammonton Presbyterian Church
and former President of the Atlantic
County Christian Endeavor Union, will
be of great interest to his many old
friends here and throughout the Coun-
ty generally:
Fairbanks, Alaska, Feb. 9th, 1919.
Atlantic County Union Y. P. S. c.. e.
Greetings: From the farthest North
Christian Endeayor Society. How ma
ny of the societies in the county could
call the roll and find nearly every
member present, when thermometer
registered So degrees below zero?
Would the thought of it be enough?
Well! in they come, as happy a group
as one could find; furs, felt shoes, caps
and a great cloud of frosty air about
them-nearly all of them-and it was
So below. What a meeting they had
Everybody sang; everybody took part
and as often as was necessary to fulfill
the purpose of the meeting. 1t was
representative, all the young people of
the town. We have several churches
here, but there is only one Christian
Endeavor Society. AND so it has con-
tinued, will be, and ever should be,
even unto the end. Mrs. MARBLE has
charge of this part of the work! That
may explain somewhat the interest, to
you who are acquainted with her. But
there is a monthly social. And no
matter how popular the young man OF
woman may be, there is no invitation,
and no warm welcome unless the meet
ings have been attended and the work
necessary been done and done well.
This is not Mrs. Marbles ruling, but
takes its force from the will of the
young people themselves. Back of all
the interest, the well planned and
|cheerfully sustained meeting and work,
lies the real motive. These young peo-
pie, as l believe all real Endeavorers
do, feel that in their whole range of
opportunities the Y. P. S. C. E. gives
them something they need; something
helping them to be better, nobler, more
useful. They love Christian Endeavor
just as you love it. We are all about
alike, as you know. North, South, East
or West. Cordially yours,
WALLACE SUTTON MARBLE.

FILM RENTALS ADVANCE
TO MAINTAIN STANDARD
To Get Attractions of Merit
Every Theatre Must Ad-
vance Prices

By increasing the scale of admis-
sion prices to motion picture thea
tres, and by that means only, can the
industry fully attain that perfection
toward which 1t is advancing with
steps so rapid as to amaze the indus
trial world.
Film rentals have advanced since
last season, in some cases over 200
per cent, on the high class produce
lions shown in the Elko and Grand.
Our every expense has also been
nearly doubled. The people of Be-
midi, we think, would rather be sure
they could always see PICTURES
WORTH WHILE, even at a slight adj
vance in admission. To keep up the
high standard of pictures shown in
the Grand and Elko, on certain pic
lures there will be slight advance
in admission prices. Our advertise
ments will show what the new prices
are, when we must charge more to
Offset additional expense. Note price
change Friday, Saturday and Sun
day in Elko advertisement this week.

thing of steel and wood! 1t was pre-
posterous.
| When the first notes of the song
came to our ears we were waiting
breathlessly. And we continued
breathless throughout the evening.
At first Miss Elerman's voice and the
voice from the mahogany cabinet be-
side her came to US indistinguishably
blended-the two voices so complete
ly one that no ear could detect their
duality. Suddenly we realized that
Miss Ellerman's lips had ceased to
move, though her voice went glori-
ously on! She sang again, and again
stopped. Only by watching her lips
could we tell whether her voice came
to US from her throat, or from the
magic box at her side. It was her
voice in both cases-there was no
question Of that from the first. No
mere echo or "record" could make
US doubt the evidence of our own
eyes. Her voice was there, whether
she sang or was silent. Equal in
tone, in clearness and in beauty, it
filled the room, literally re-created by
some magic power for our bewilder-
ment.
After the cessation of the applause
the Fleming Sisters Trio played a
duet with themselves-that is the
recreation took part. The notes
from the cabinet matched those of
the instruments as perfectly as had
been done during Miss Ellerman's
singing. Here again the music con-
tinued when the artists ceased, and
we heard no difference in tone.
Other vocal numbers were re-
created with equal fidelity. Inter-
spersed among these rare musical
treats were delightful selections by
Miss Ellerman and the Fleming
Sisters Trio always accompanied by
their identical performances upon
the New Edison. And each time we
witnessed the miracle the wonder
grew-wonder at the wizard mind
that could, with a man-made instru-
ment, rival natures production of
music.
The climax of the entertainment
came when the room was darkened,
so that we could no longer see the
singer, and had to judge by our ca,
alone whether the song as we hear
it was voice or recreation. We
vacillated from one opinion to the
other-now we thought Miss Eller-
man was singing-now that we heard
the New Edison alone. The notes of
the last verse filed the room. They
were so clear, so true, so beautiful,
that everyone in the audience was
convinced that Miss Ellerman was
singing as we had not known that
even she could sing. Suddenly the
lights flashed on, the stage was
empty, save from the graceful ma
hogahy cabinet from which floated
forth the final wonderful phrases of
iieved in it before, perhaps. We had
the song.
Re-creation-we had never be-
thought it merely a trademarks
catch word. But for those who at
i tended the tone-test, recreation is
no longer word-it is a reality.

platform, we were skeptical. To at

Should Attend Matineea

For several good reasons, especial
ly Saturdays and Sundays, children
should attend the theatre matinees
instead of night performances. Mat
inees start at 2:30 at the Grand and
800 at the Elko, every day. Aside
from the objections parents may have
to their children keeping late hours
evenings there is, or will be, as ex-
planned in another column, an ad-
vance in evening prices on certain
days. Matinee prices are also lower
for adults, some days in the week,
than the night prices.
