BLIZZARD BINGLES,
OR HOW FIT. LEE GOT
LOST IN THE SNOW.

Main street last week and it's Pc
destrians harked back to the days of
the early seventies. Men, and women,
too, went about in rubber boots and
gayly colOred wool muff1ers. An auto
mobile was a rare sight, and, as for
trolley cars, there were no Sech ami
mails. Every one raked out their old
cutters and trimmed the horses up
with bells. Myron Selznick himself
was transported to and from the ferry
in a sleigh, and numbers of extras who
were required in ga Fool and His
Money" now being produced at the
Selznick studios, registered" genuine
emotion at the high banks of snow,
and probably for the first time in their
lives, or since they left their respec-
tive "villes" to become famous on
Broadway, rode in a sleigh that was
not a prop. Dr. r. T. Scott caused a
sensation by making his visits on
horseback, with his case strapped to
the saddle, and DR.. Sander was using
the Union Foot Line while a perfect
ly good new car was resting in the
garage Even Eddie Lewis, the in
domitable chauffeur, met his Water
loo on Thursday
Numbers of people who had purchas-
ed theater tickets for the best sellers
looked out of the window and sighed
as they glanced at the red pieces of
cardboard which represented $3.50.
Harry Diehrs store received more
telephone calls than any week on rec
ord, always asking the same question,
care the cars running?" He is re-
solved, the next blizzard, to issue bulle-
tins and call them official, as every
one takes it for granted that he ought
to know more about the cars and the
weather than the Public Service or the
weather man.

"THE PASSION FLOWER"
GREATEST PLAY OF SEASON.

For many years the name of Nance
ONeil has stood for the highest form
of dramatic art. She has been I'M
fortunate in not having been fitted
with a dramatic vehicle to suit her
great emotional powers. This season,
however, "The Passion Flower has
been secured for her, and she has won
one of the greatest dramatic successes
of her career, and the play has estab-
liShed new record for emotional pow
er and thrilling situations. From the
pen of Jacinto Benavente, the great
est living Spanish playwright, it is
drama of great power. The press of
New York and the correspondents
from the cities as remote as San Fran
cisco have telegraphed reviews of wild
est approval. The Greenwich Village
theater, down in Greenwich Village,
has been found too limited for the
crowds which are visiting this play,
and it is to be removed to Broadway
for what may prove one of the long
est runs of the season.
Charles Waldron, Robert Fischer,
Harold Hartsell, Edna Walton, Mrs.
Charles G. Craig, Mrs. Clara Bracey
and cast of exceptional brilliancy de-
picts the finely drawn characters. The
stage settings and costumes were ex-
ecuted in Spain and bear the approval
of the author himself.

FORT LEE NOTES
GETTING 1.-THE DROP"
IN A GOOD NEWS BEAT
OVER THE N. Y. PAPERS.

Local papers oftentimes get the 'ha-
Metropolitan newspapers. Still, once
in awhile the little local paper puts
something over on his big brothers.
Just now it is the news of the arrival
of Nine Alice Blache from Hollywood,
Cal. 1t is a long cry from the land
of oranges, sunshine and Metro pic
lures to blizzard-y New York and Fort
Lee incidentally, for Nine Blache was
the snow bound guest last week of the
Max Meyers of Central avenue.
For possibly one or two who are not
acquainted with the activities of the
the owners of the SolaX studios and
laboratories. Nine. Blache is here to
make adjustments with the fire insur-
ance company over the recent fire in
that studio.
Both she and her husband have in
cles, and their names have been iden-
titled with all of the large pictures of
a higher type. They are at present
shooting" the "Hope," a Drury Lane
drama, and expect in the near future
to begin work on Blasco Ibanez's great
novel, "The Four HOrsemen of the
Apocalypse"
Nine. Blache enjoys the distinction
of being the only woman in the film
industry who is a complete technician.
She is equally proficient in the artistic
end.
In addition to her great work in the
fifth largest industry, Nine. Blache is
the devoted mother of two children.
We hope the Morning Telegraph will
not feel jealous at our getting the drop
on them.

BOYS BAND BASKETBALL.

The Boys Band Of Fort Lee scored
another big success on Tuesday eve
ming, February 10, when two hundred
people turned out for the second of a
series of basketball games and dances.
The Lewa A. c., very clever girls
team composed mainly of eX-stars of
Leonia High, played a creditable game
defeating the Get-togethers, junior
team of the same club.
The second game was played by the
Park View A. c., a team of much
merit, which was victorious over the
Crescents.

their number of games won up to sew
en- during the past week by winning
two more games. They defeated the
West New YOrks on Friday afternoon

guard played good games.
This victory made the sixth victory
this season. 1t was a clean-cut one,
and the Crimson and Black Outplayed
the w. N. Y boys in all stages of the
game, and they bewildered the w. N
Y. boys with their brilliant pass work
The C. p. H. S. boys showed fine ac-
curacy in shooting baskets, as the
score indicates. The score was 25 to
IA. Tomasso made the most points
for the home team, while Martens kept
his forward busy guarding him while
making eight points. Corriston, at for
ward, made seven points. Darrell, at
the other forward, although going bas-
ketless, played good floor game, and
mark. Vaughn, at center for G. P. H.
S., made three goals from the floor,
while he kept his namesake of w. N.
Y. scoreless. Weiksner played a fine
game at guard. Eberle, Martini and
Cappoletta also played good.
In preliminary game to the Ameri-
can Legion on Tuesday evening the G.
z. H. S. boys second team won their
seventh game from their rivals repre-
Senting LeOnia High School. 1t was a
walkaway for the Cliffside Park boys,
as the score of 55 to % indicates.
When the game ended the entire G. P.
FL. S. second teams seconds were play
ing.
At half time the score was 90 to 6.
Before the Leonia boys scored point
the Cliffside boys had scored 10. Houk
again led the G. p. III. S. boys in scor-
ing, making % points. This brings his
total number of points for the season
up to 100 points. Corriston, at the
other forward position, made seven
baskets from the court. Martens sank
six baskets, totaling II points, and
Vaughn, Borrelli and Martini each
scored basket. Weiksner played his
usual good, steady game at guard

played good games.
On Monday afternoon the second
team will play the Fort Lee seconds at
Cliffside.

MASQUERADE DANCE.

The masque dance given at the Par
ish House Wednesday evening was an
affair worth while attending. There
was not that usual mediocrity of cos
tunes; rather, each individual, it
would appear, strove to be unique and
attained his purpose.
Miss Beatrice Hengstler won the
first prize. She looked very lovely as
an Egyptian princess. Mr.. Irving
Campbell also shared honors as George
Washington, while Miss Amy Sulger

Modernized Grammar.

The teacher of a New Hampshire
school was one day examining a few of
her select pupils in grammar. "Stand
up, Johnnie, and make me a sentence
containing the word seldom" she
said, pointing to small boy. Johnnie
paused as if in thought, then with a
flush of triumph on his face, replied :
Last week father had five horses, but
yesterday he seldom !''-Boston Post.

Alan Mutt Post, Amer. Legion Meeting

The regular meeting of the Alan
Mutt Post of the American Legion was
held at the Grantwood school Monday,
February 8, Commander Joseph Mitch
ell presiding.
The most important business was the
report of the Arrangements Committee
for the monster masquerade ball to be
held St Valentines night, Saturday,
February IA, at Epiphany Hall, Grant
wood. Otto Stein, the chairman of the
committee, reports big sale of tickets,
and judging from the enthusiasm with
which the affair is being received by
the many friends of the legionnaires,
the prospects of big night are bright.
Thomas Fox, manager of the basket
ball team, reported that he has ar
ranged games for the legion team for
every Tuesday night.
James r. Quill, the basketball cap
tain, explained the difficulties he has
had to overcome to produce the present
team and assured the members that
they need only recall last Tuesdays

Miss Mckeiver at Girls, High School

The readers of The Item remember
with pleasure the delightful letters
that came from Miss Kathryn Nc
'Kiever, when she was in France. These
letters were eagerly looked for and
as eagerly read, on account OF
their graphic representations and
their perfect naturalness.
Miss McKiever gave a most appeal
ing talk <before the girls of the High
School at recent assembly. Size has
a real message and she is delivering
it with force and effectiveness. The
two lasting impressions that She
leaves are: First, that the bodies OF
American soldiers. should not be
brought back to this country. Second,
that America has too soon forgotten
the fearful sacrifice of life that was
necessary for victory in behalf Of the
worlds liberty.
The teachers and pupils were deep
ly impressed by what Miss McKieyer
had to say and hope that at early
date date She will pay them another
visit.
