Here comes Jamison in the role of | lover to deolaim against her eXtrava- gance and to state a passion of long standing. Kittly refuses to take either seriously, and soon after plunges into 1 even deeper extravaganza Hlan before But things happen around Kitty Dave- 1 nant, she keeps things and people moVhs. and presently she is in a fierce contest which involves millions of dollars and a l burglary The story is full of stimulating talk, it moves with that speed which ap- peals 10 American readers and it's con- clusion is altogether as it should be.

 Ana what is the story? Most of the action is in. the green English country and the chief dramatic characters are Kitty, who slol ed too many, and An- thony, who loved Kitty so much that did lle kill her? It is a powerful and dramatic story.

Denies Statement.

Judge Edward C. Peter, whose name
has been connected with stories OF can
dacy for the nomination as governor OF
Marya nd on the Democratic ticket has
set at rest any idea that he had consider
ed or been consulted with concerning
such plan.
"There is not word of truth in the
article relating to my having been chosen
by Democratic party leaders as candi-
date for the governorship of Maryland.
| have never been approached on such
subject, and any statement that took
part in any conference or discussion OF
such subject is fiat untruth. be-
lieve in absolute frankness in such mat
ter, and would like to meet face to face
the NAH who vas responsible for such
transformation in order that / could tell
him he had told deliberate falsehood. y
Judge Peter also denied that he had
ever made statement that he he would
not be candidate if Mayor Preston was
nominated, as he had never considered
allowing the use of his name for the
governorship. He said he knew nothing
of any use of his name by Democratic
leaders as screen for the latter bring
ing out of Gen. Francis E. Waters, the
result of conference of such leaders in
Washington. Judge Peter here again
emphatically denied having taken part in
any conference at any time on such
question or to have knowledge of any
such conference. 1.-THE story is fatri-
cation out of the whole CLOTH" he said.
Judge Peter, who is associate judge OF
the Sixth Judicial Circuit, comprising
Montgomery and Frederick counties, is
one of the most prominent members OF
the bench in Maryland.

Will Have Picture Theatre.

Last weeks Emmitsburg Chronicle
says:
"Workmen are busy reconstructing
the Holman Building for motion pic
ture theatre. The ground floor is being
altered for this purpose, and an addition
of thirty feet is being added at the rear.
This new venture is due to the fore
thought of Mr.. E. l.. Amman, the owner
and promoter, who realizes that rational
diversion is the demand of the local peo-
pie. 1t is Mr.. Annan's intention to have
only the best and most interesting photo
plays, and to this end he requests the
people of the community to state their
preference as to those plays that most
strongly appeal to them. The new the

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week March oath, a new three act
comedy drama by George Seibel
"AFTERMATH"
representative company, exceptional pro-
duction.
1.-The Aftermath" which comes to
Ford's week of March Oath, is new
three act comedy-drama by George Sell
bel Pittsburg newspaper man and au-
thor.
This play was originally produced in
Washington d. c., and attracted the
endorsement of Surgeon General Rupert
Blue of the U. S. Public Health Service,
who declared that the play brought home
the force of President Wilson's state
ment that it is not an army we have to
make clean it is nation.
And yet the Aftermath is much more
than play of propaganda. 1t is an ap-
pealing dramatic story full of laughter,
romance and tears it deals with the re-
turn home of young Captain of the
American Army who has been wounded
and nursed back to life by charming
girl who with her mother has been doing
war work in France, the young couple
come home on the same ship and love
grows between them.
The girls guardian is doctor, who ii
also in love with the girl, and when hi
tells the returning soldier that for health
reasons marriage with him was impos
sible, the soldier refuses to believe him
but finally confesses to the truth
1t speaks volumes for the drama tist'
skill that the "Aftermath" has nothing
gloomy about it, but conveys clean
clear message of hope and happiness.
