fore capacity audiences in Paid in
Advance" a perturbation of one OF
the vivid stories of the Canadian
Northwest and the Klondike that
have made James oliver Curwood
one Of the most widely read authors
in the United States.
In this stirring drama of tn"

as Joan Gray. daughter of a fur
trapper, who upon the death Of her
father becomes the pawn of Gold
Dust" Barker. one of a type that
was prevalent along the Alaskan
trails in the days of the gold rush.
Rather than submit herself to the
privations and the indignities which
her self-appointed guardian sought
to heap upon her. Joan sold herself
at auction to the highest bidder.
the play and enables the star to
demonstrate more emphatically than
ever before the completeness Of her
grasp of the fundamentals of emo
tional acting.
Priscilla Dean is pictured as
Marie. a product of the camps. and
offers a particularly picturesque i'm
personation of a colorful type. The
other members OF the cast all are
proficient. notably Lon Clancy. Will
liam Burress, Joseph Gerard and
William Stowell.
Seldom has the screen reflected
such magnificent outdoor scenes. or
such imposing mountain vistas, as
are revealed during the progress of
this absorbing story. The photog-
raphy is such as to realize the full
artistic effect made possible by a
generous bestowal of her gifts by
Mother Nature.
The bill for the first three days OF
the week is completed by a variety
of abbreviated camera subjects and
special orchestral features.

"Ss East" Is . boarding house Of the
consciously select variety where the
atmosphere Is rich with unconscious
comedy. The types" that Miss
Crothers has gathered for our delec-

actual as they are delicious. They live
and breathe and are comical. just
like boarders everywhere. They are
so excellently cast and delightfully."-
played that II would be captious to
find fault; vet the remark must creep
In that q little care on the part Of
several players to repress exaggera-
ton would almost bring perfection
This is the kind of play that should
hold the clearest of mirrors up to ma
ture- The truer the portraits the more
amusing they win prove.
Let no one suppose "39 East" Is
just a collection of boarding house
sketches. 1t holds also one of the
| most charming of love stories, and
more than that. the story rises to a
high pitch of dramatic emotion,
ringing true in Zine. revealing
truth and more truth as the climax
.heightens. 1t gives new life to the
old story Of the innocent young girl
meeting the trials and evils of the
great city where she has come to
make her fortune.
And do you know about Constance
Kinney and Henry Hull? Do you
know that there is young woman
| OF the most exquisite charm and
! dainty beauty who can really act. and
| here Is also a prepossessing young
man who can make love and get ex-
cited as II he meant It, and can also
be wholly at ease when he has only
TO be Jolly and amusing? But that
| doesn't express 1t. Henry Hull is an
actor. and Constance Binney is not
only an actress. but delightful bit
! OF femininity.
Alison Skipworth gives a wonder
; full portrait of the landlady of "39
East" though she is one of those
who fall just short of reality AZ
certain moments. particularly in the
delightful breakfast scene. Lucia
Moore, as the giddy Mrs. Smith, is
another whose skilful portrayal is
| not without lapses. Luis Alberni
as the Italian count, is flawless. Not
quite. but nearly so, is Victor Suth-
erland as -the jolly Irishman. John
Morris park policeman Is not OF the
: stage at all. but right out of the
shrubbery of Central Park. These
are not AZ but 1t should suffice to
. say that every character is in ex-
ceptionally capable hands.

ton of James Oliver Curwood's fa-
nous series of stories published in
two of the leading magazines under
the title of "wapi. the walrus."
AS stated above. the production and
story are decidedly different from
any screen offering made to the
Washington public in past gears. At
first blush it would seem impossible
to get wild animals to portray the
various animal characters as de-
scribed in Mr.. CbIrwood's stories.
what may be termed the trained
animal act:" yet this has absolutely
been avoided. Under Mr.. Curwood's
personal supervision and with what
is evidently infinite patience and
courage. the animals have been taken
in their natural habitat. intent on
their own business and living their
lives as described in the story, SEEM
ingiy unconscious that there was a
motion picture camera or human be-

As is well known. no one seems 10

or to be able to describe same in
Just the manner that Mr.. Curwood
does: take this gift and around II
weave a tense and thrilling story

wilds in a world peopled almost sole

groundwork OF this remarkable pic

The musical setting IS in keepinS

subsidiary attractions of exceptional

RISING SUN TRAIL.
Concrete Roadway Makes Ideal
Travel For Motorists.

Sundays Philadelphia Inquirer
tells of the miles of splendid con-
crete roadway from Philada., Pa, to
Baltimore and Washington that
make the Rising Sun Trail an
ideal route for the autoist. A. G..
Seller, manager of the Touring Bu-
reau of the American Automobile
Association, in his report issued to
motorists states "the miles of won
derful concrete are certainly a
pleasure to drive on, and the i'm
provement makes this the real route
between these cities" The "Rising
Sun Trail" which embraces what is
known as Route 131 in Pennsyl-
vania, connects with Maryland's i'm
proved road system at the State line
at Sylmar, and leads via Rising Sun,
Conowingo, and Bel Air to .Balti-
more. The only unimproved section
in our State along this route is a
stretch of about one and a-half miles
just west of this town.
That this road is being extensively
used by motorists one has but 20 get
on it to see the string of cars going
and coming. Last Sundays travel
was a regular procession through
town. One of our residents between
four and five o'clock that evening
counted one hundred and three
autos and one buggy that passed his
house within an hour as he sat on
his porch.
1t is expected the contract for
construction of the unimproved Sec
tion west of town will be awarded
this month and work completed the
present summer.

interesting experiences by soldiers
and sailors who accompanied the
outfit and had seen service on the
battle front, everyone was given an
opportunity to go through the cars
and inspect the captured German
guns of various calibres and other
war trophies.
Subscriptions for bonds were So
licited by the soldiers and sailors
and over $4,000 subscribed.
On Wednesday afternoon the film

of 27 points. Elkton was far be-
hind at IL points and Reistcrtown

Rising Sun went to Elkton last
Saturday to give the Elkton team a
little practice before the latter en-
tered the Del-Mar League. But
from all appearances it looked as If
the Sun boys got the practice at Elk
tons expense, for the game ended
with the score 5 to l in Rising Suns
favor.
Finn pitched his usual steady
game, while Cameron, Thomas and
Reynolds almost drove the ball ont
of it's cover. The fielding feature
of the game was the work of Kirk
and Reynolds.
From the time of Saturdays
game up to the present, the Elkton
management have tried to secure
the services of four Rising Sun play
ers, but as yet have not succeeded
in landing any of them, and chances
are they never will.
Having been unable to get in the
Del-Mar League the Rising Sun
team will play its first game at
home against Elk Mills Saturday,
May 10th, which will be the opening
of the Cecil County Church League.
Come out and see the boys in action
