Stole Costumes From
 Theatre In Eisenach

Eisenach, Germany. Jan. 21.-The run of "Parsifal" at the Elsenach City Theatre was sadly handicapped recently when 1t was discovered that the costumes for the play had been stolen and could not be replaced. All efforts to trace the thief by means of the historic costumes failed, and the play was about to be postponed. when the theatre manager strolled through the house, and discovered the wardrobe mistress dressed up like a peacock, with some of the stolen finery. Her husband was arrested and all the stolen costumes recovered somewhat the worse for wear.

LYRIC.

If the PoH Players were making their debut to Bridgeport pleasure seekers they could wish for no better medium than the pleasing production Come Out of the Kitchen which Is being presented at the Lyric thea ire this week. The Players add ma terially to their wreath of laurels with this excellent comedy.
 Although Miss Mary Ann Dentlsr and Arthur Chatterdon are the prin- cipal characters in the play, others of the cast are equally prominent Maxwell Driscoll has an excellent role as the butler and introduces some of his nannerisnns to good ef- feet. Miss Louise Gilchrist, who Sis assisting the Players this week, DOT trays a Down South darkey nanny to perfection. Miss Jane Tarr in the character of an inquisitive busy body, causes all the trouble.
 The production in prospect for mex! week, ''The Woman in Room 13,' is a story of real life dramatized s6 that it will hold the attention. Thers are many thrilling situations and tho climaxes will enthrall everyone who does 1t. There are few productions with the record accredited to ''The Woman in Room 13," and Bridge port theater goers are particularly fortunate in having the opportunity of seeing this play.

PARK.

EAESh.
 To the old time patron of bur .esque who has seen such stars as Weber and Fields and David War field graduate from it's ranks 1t seems only natural to predict a great future for some particularly clever perform CT in this branch of the profession, that is what is being done for Ray Read with the Great Star and Garter Show which comes to the Park thea ire starting Thursday matinee; Jan P, for three days. Of course Chas Burns, Howard Paden, Will Bovis, Bert Hall, Florence Darley, Pauline Hall and Americas foremost bur 1esque producer, I. M. Weingarden, which all claim attention, but Ray Read has developed a unique style of comedy and has a great part in both "La Belle Paree'' and Putting It Over" admirably suited for his novel conception of a comedian. He has succeeded in being grotesquely funny without making himself personally hideous.

A SAFE INVESTMENT
THAT IS PROFIT SHARING

Captain NJ. NJ. Buford at the store
of William Johnson is selling stock in
new enterprise which has developed
the fact that there is strong evidence
of oil fields right across the Savannah
river in Georgia and if it should prove
true there is no telling what the
stock may pay you in very short
time. You are sold lot on the oil
field and the lot is yours in fee SIM
pie whether the oil develops or not
and if it does you share in the profits
of the company in the proportion Of
your holdings. The proposition
seems to be fair and just one and
the evidence is very strong also that
there are fine prospects of striking
oil in paying quantities. But Captain
Buford will be glad to explain the
whole plan to anyone interested.

Belated Marriage Notices.

We like to get marriage notices
while new. They cannot be written
until the minister has pronounced
the benediction" and the ''doxology
has been sounded" Newspaper men
have access to the license books IN
the probate judges Office, but do not
use names beforehand because of the
cid adage of 'many a slip betwlNt
the cup and the lip although the
slip" is not Of frequent occurrence
in Newberry. So far as The Herald
and News man is concerned he waits
until the preacher or someone else
sends in word of the successful affair.
For these out-of-town marriages We
often have to wait for the officiating
minister to return the license to the
probate judge. as it is his duty to
do, and to do so promptly. Some OF
them are very prompt in either in
forming us of the event or in return
ing the license properly signed. One
returned the license eleven days at
ter he had married a couple and the
marriage took place the same date the
license was issued. Please return the
license promptly or else let the re-
porter know of the marriage. We
hate to be so late in mentioning
things.

AUTO TRIP FROM CHAPPELLS
TO TAMPA, FLORIDA

On Friday the 10th, we left Chap
pells, S. c., for Tampa, Fla. We had
it tough Friday, as you remember it
was raining. We went from Chap
pells to Newberry and from New
berry to Augusta, Ca, via Aiken and
spent Friday night in Augusta, which
was about one hundred and twenty
five miles we drove Friday. Satur-
day morning we left for Waycross
with the intention of spending Sat-
urday night in Waycross. We made
it fine until we got to the Alabama
river. There we found we had to
cross the river by ferry and the road
was bad. There we met Mr.. Bryan
from Sumter, S. c., on his way to
Miami. We spent several hours there
as the road was bad getting into the
river. AS we were delayed we had to
spend the night in Baxley, Ga.
Sunday morning we left for Lake
City, Florida. Then Monday we left
for Webster, Fla.
We got to Webster just before
dark and found a fine Florida sup
per with our sister. 1t may surprise
you, but we had all kinds of vege-
tables for supper. Now these vege-
tables were grown on our brother-in-
laws truck farm. We saw all kinds
of truck growing down there, such
as beans, cucumbers, squash and
cabbage. Some Of these fields OF
cabbage have at least twenty acres in
them. You can see all kinds Of
oranges and too they are cheap, FIVE
for five cents, and in South Carolina
they are FIVE cents apiece.
We had an enjoyable trip, the car
ran fine, the only trouble we had.
was one puncture. The top soil
roads are fine in Florida, but if you
get off the top. soil roads, you can't
make much time as the sand ruts are
so deep and winding about. The
people here in Webster are voting
bonds to build hard roads and I can't
see why the people Of Newberry
county and state Of South Carolina
don't vote bonds to build hard roads.
This route that we travelled is the
most direct route to Tampa and all
points South of Tampa.
l just know somebody will say l
am joking when say am in my
shirt sleeves this morning and have
not got any fire. Well you don't need
any fire, as the weather is warm
enough without any. Yesterday it
was so warm until when l stopped on
the street l would hunt shade to

"S." 1t contained the pleasant in
formation that the next day, Thurs
day. would be Judge" W. G. Peter
sons 10th birthday and that he chad
an engagement to enjoy a birthday
dinner with beautiful young lady,"
Our informant was not satisfied with
this but he "perpetrated" the fol-
lowing on his old friend: "1t seems
to us that the Judge, being young
enough to have the guest of beau
tiful young lady at his birthday
dinner, ought to be able to dodge
automobiles" Now what do you
think of that? We knew that Judge
Peterson was in Greenville to have
his eyes treated; we didn't know he
went there to dine with beautiful
girls. Of course we don't blame him,
or either wonder at it. No man gets
too old to enjoy eating with a beau
tiful girl. The Judge is just 76 years
young. Go it, judge, while you are
young. We hope he enjoyed the meal
as well as the charming presence OF
the inspiring guest Thursday.
