FERGUSON At DITMAS
TOMORROW IN BIG HIT

It is doubtful If Elsie Ferguson
has ever been more ~agreeably cast in
a screen play than she is in counter
felt" her picture at the Ditmas the
atre Wednesday and Thursday. Oudia
Bergere has crowded into the film
practically all the elements hat be-
long in the successful photo-drama.
There is a w~ell-developed action lead
ing easily into climaxes that produce
the requisite thrill more or less mys-
terry envelopes the story, the love In
terest is we'll sustained, and Miss Fer
guson is given the opportunity to
wear some stunning gowns.
The picture has been fashioned
adroitly to fit the capabilities of the
star. This is far from meaning that
counterfeit" doesn't force Miss Fer
guson to the full limit of her dra-
matte prowess. There are moments
in the picture which call upon her to
run the full gamut Of the emotions.
AS usual, she rises always to the occa-
sion. The same atmosphere of high
bred class that pervades all the
Ferguson films is again apparent.
The story is about Virginia Girls
void, daughter of a distinguished
Southern family, who is called home
from abroad at the death Of her
father to discover that the family
fortune has been squandered in spec
ulation. Perturbed how to repair the
loss without her bereaved mothers
knowledge she takes advantage of an
offer in the newspapers of a large
reward for the capture of a band of
notorious counterfeiters to ally her.
self with Secret Service and follow a
clue to fashionable Newport in search
of the criminals. Here she discovers
a connection between an extravagant,
creditor-ridden woman of the sum
mer colony and a agent of the
forgers and through a series of excit-
ing adventures finally traces the
crook to o yacht in the harbor,
whittier she journeys with detectives
and rounds up the band. Claiming
her reward she returns to the South
and finds happiness with the man
who has stood by her in her adven-
ture, though he was ignorant of what
it was all about until the thrilling
climax.
Even this brief sun of the pic
ture is sufficient to show how admir-
ably such a plot fits Elsie Ferguson
and what a delightfully."- entertaining
drama it would become in her expert
hands. Her interpretations of the
beautiful capable type of heroines
have become screen classics and Vir-
ginia Griswold Is a fitting companion
for those who have gone before.
A word must be said about George
Fitzmaurice. This is the third pic
ture which this talented director has
made with Miss Ferguson, and his
good taste and uncanny screen sense
are again apparent. In the Newport
scenes he has achieved some remark
ably faithful reproductions scenically.
His is the art of infinite pains, and the
screen fan who del. ghts in detecting
minor flaws in the films W

Town Boards to raise funds by
bond (not to exceed $4,000 and
buy the dynamite for the tax
payers of the township.
The cost of each settlers dyna-
mite is added to his taxes on

same as failure to pay any land

sold for delinquent taxes. 1t gets
dynamite to the settlers at cost,
and if purchased in car lots, at
cheaper prices per pound and
lower freight rates. AS above
stated, this cost is added to the
settlers taxes and divided over
a period of FIVE years.
In the application to the Town
Board, the settler states that he
will tender an abstract of title,
mortgage, or lien on the land and
a note 10 days before the de-

selling price of the dynamite.
