Madame Wheeler's
Concert Dec. Il

Nine. Arral Wheelers plans for the
coming concert are developing rapidly.
The concert is to be given at Epiphany
Hall, Grantwood, on Tuesday evening
December 81. The announcement of
the concert in our last issue has re-
suited in numerous phone calls to
Mme Wheeler from friends, express
ing their pleasant anticipation of the
coming event and inquiring the date.
Although during the two years that
she accepted pupils Nine. Wheeler
gave several recitals of her pupils, this
will be the first time in three years
that the prima donna has personally
appeared ON the concert platform in
GrantwOOd.
A romantic element appears in the
assurance that one of the artists who
will assist in the program is Signor
Renato Troisi, who was leading tenor
in the Imperial Opera House at Petro-
grad, Russia, at the time when Nine.
Arral Wheeler was prima donna So
prano there, and enjoyed the patron
age Of the late Gear Nicholas, by whom
she was decorated with the Order of
Oldenburg, an enameled badge crown
ed with the imperial eagle in dia-
monds, which was presented to her on
the occasion of her appearance at the
private theater in a representation for
the imperial family and court.

Two Brutes Hold
Dernented Girl

Elsie Herman, aged 10 years, whose
home is in Passaic, escaped from the
Onuf Sanatorium at Rutherford Mon
day. While wandering around East
Paterson she was met by young man
named Angelo Arino of that place and
invited to take a ride with him. She
told him she was hungry, and he took
her to nearby place and gave her
food.
Arino then left. with instructions to
the man to keep her until he returned.
When he came back there was dis
pute over who was to have her. 1t
finally resulted in the going away of
Arino. Later in the night the girl was
found in the signal tower and, together
with Arino, was brought to Hackensack
and committed TO Jail by Justice
Charles T. Mackay.
The girl had been placed in the insti-
ton on account of being slightly de-
mented.
Arino is held under a charge of alb

Burglars Again
Enter Gibson Home

Last Saturday morning Robert F.
Randolph Gibson of Anderson avenue
Palisade, left home for short while.
Mrs. Gibson had spent the night away
from home with friends. When Mrs.
Gibson arrived home about IL O'Clock
Saturday, not finding Mr.. Gibson home,
she went to the kitchen and found that
some one had broken in. The chain
and bolt were apart, and the glass in a
window and the rear door broken also,
She then ran out of the house, fearing
the, burglars We're still inside. and
called up police headquarters. The DO
lice soon came, but could find no trace
of any one in the neighborhood. Mr..
Gibson came home at noon. The
would-be thieves were evidently scared
off by Mrs. Gibson or some one else be-
fore they made a haul. This makes
the second time burglars have entered
the Gibson home Mr.. Gibson had a
personal encounter on his front porch
some months ago with a daring day
light robber and was considerably
mussed up in the tussle, but not much
hurt.
The police, for some reason, declined
to give out any information about this
last visitation.

the closing playlet, given by the sixth

Trenicores Beat
Millionaires


Thanksgiving afternoon the Million
aires Club of Grantwood bowed in de-
feat to the heavy Trenicore football
team of Woodcliff at the Hudson
County Park. Although the Million
aire line was outweighed by at least
twenty pounds man, they gave fine
exhibition by holding their opponents
to only two touchdowns.
The outstanding feature of the game
was the superb playing of Arthur Soul
lion, left halfback of the MilliOnaires.
His line plunging, running back punts,
forward passing and tackling were
great.
By the brand of football the Trent
cores displayed and the weight of their
team taken into consideration we sug-
gest that they play the All Stars of
Grantweod. AS the Trenicores are
claimants of the championship title for
this part of the state, they should read
lily recognize the challenge Of the All
Stars and settle the matter as to which
team is the better.

In Grand. Oh.

The GrantwOod Congregational
Church was well filled on last Friday
evening for the first of its course of
entertainments in which Mr. Joseph
Mezo of the Lyceum entertainment
bureau of New York was the one per-
former, but host in himself, present
ing a most enjoyable and varied pro-
gram.
Mr.. Mezo has an excellent tenor
voice and sang several songs very ac-
ceptably and gave many monologues.
The solilOquy of small boy on
Mothers" was life-like and boy-like.
Then the "Boy in School," purely
pantOmine, was also true to life and
amusing.
The recitation Of the effeminate
week end guest in "The Charge of the
Light Brigade" was exceedingly appre-
ciated by the audience, both as to its
gestures and expression, while the
"'Hebrew Wedding" was side splitting
In more serious strain was the pre-
sentation near the close of the pro-
gram when the speaker said that, as
the children Of the audience had been
so well behaved, he would give some
thing which he never gave when chill
dren were part of the gathering, and
then presented a scene from John
Drinkwater's abraham Lincoln" the
