The arst great new production
20 come direkt from the studios Of
Thomas H. Ince h Homespun
Folks" which Will b shown, ct the
Majestic four days beginning Sun
day. In. It there Nill b. found .
perfectly balanced cast and . great
production such - only . master
IKE Nj. Ince. could bring forth.
when he personally goes In for .
production. Mr.. Ince has been SUI
pervising . great many plays 1T
his great studios but for the past
three years he has not directed .
production personally until he re
ceived the manuscript for Home
spun Folks" When he read It, he
turned to his sta fiand said: "fshall
produce this play personally. !
will select the cast myself and At
tend to the smallest details Of pro-
duction." And when the play was
produced in New York only . few
weeks ago, the ablest critics wrote
of the attraction. Here evidently
is q play which Mr.. Ince gave his
personal attention" And 1t was
true. The critics could tell the
Ince personal touch at once. The
play was at once heralded as one
Of the most notable additions to
the cinematographic art. The ge-
MUS Of the producer has in 1t.
found its truest expression. Not
since the original stage production
of way Down East" has . play
created the impression that this
one has. With all Of the old
familiar folk which Americans de-
light to see on stage or screen. 1t Is
q marvel Of entertainment and gen.
uine interest.
The typical American spirit that
is the bone and sinew Of the aver
age small town furnishes the mo-
tivation for "Homespun Folks.
Right has triumphed over evil In
every classic Of the drama that the
native stage boasts. and it is so
here. Just as Way Down East"
and "The Old Homestead" were ex-
tamples of all that Is fine in Yam
kee idealism, 50 will this Ince epic
bring home its sweetness and win
some appeal to those who see 1t.
The story concerns the struggle
Of a young American to preserve
his IDEALS and to cherish the in
nate beliefs he has BEEN taught at
his mothers knee. Lloyd Hughes
T, rises to new heights in the role of
Joel Webster. the lad who, upon be-
ing disowned because of his love
for the law, packs his worldly be-
longings into q wheelbarrow and
trundles of to town to make good.
Elsie Ferguson is afforded an ad-
mirable vehicle in her latest Para
, mount picture, Lady Roses Daueh-
ter" which comes to the Majestic
theatre Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday. The story was adapted
from the late Mrs. Humphry Wards
novel.
Miss Ferguson has the role Of a
young English girl who, banished
from--the home Of a rich relative,
because Of her friendship for q
young army officer, discovers that
he is untrue to her David Powell

gulation, as the result of eating an

day at the house and interment was
made at Goshen. The little girl was a
member of the Junior Christian En-

"Do you know that a dressmaker is

"Dat's vera good. I'm mucha

italian husband in Paterson, whose
wife had asked through the milk
station interpreter that the demon
strator come to her home and teach
her and two neigbors how to use a
dress pattern. The material and
pattern had been in the house for over
three years, but they could not read
the English instructions.
There is great satisfaction in watch
ing the expression of joy come over the
face of a foreign mother when she has
been taught how to cook the cereal
that the doctor has ordered for her
child. In one home the mother
brought out farina, wheatena, oatmeal
and c%ornstarch, together with a shin

written the name out and she had
purchased them, but had no idea how
to use them.
Over twenty-five families are on the
list of the demonstration where the

Northeast Storm, a Big Tide and
Business Suspended for a Couple
of Days. All Schools Closed

A Northeast storm set in last Tuesday night with a
stiff wind and a biting rain. The wind blew hard all night
and brought in the highest tide from the meadows ever ex-
perienced on the west side of the railroad.
The Wildwood and Delaware Bay Short Line railroad
train made its usual first trip Wednesday morning to and
from the junction, but the us express did not 60 out, as
the breakers in Grassy Sound resembled the waves on the
ocean. They rolled high. On Thursday it was still worse
and the water was running right over the tracks a short dis
lance west of the first bridge.
The Pennsy trains run as usual on Wednesday, but
could not get out Thursday morning and both roads have
been tied up since.
The water reached the top notch at the time of high
water Thursday morning about go o'clock. The people
living on the west side from Oak avenue to 10Th street.
were marooned. In some places the water was over knee
deep on the pavements. The high wind drove the water in
from Grassy Sound. The teachers and pupils could not
reach the schools and they were closed on the whole island
for the balance of the week. One could not reach the
Coombs Maple avenue store or the school house without
hip boots. The same condition prevailed in the Holly
Beach section from the high school to the Crest line.
At Anglesea the dock was battered in the usual way
and the boardwalk at the inlet boat landing was ripped up
by the rushing waves and water. Three big boats anchored
at the dock rode the storm safely. The trolleys run all day
Thursday from a point near the Anglesea post office to a
point just north of the high school The North Wildwood
fishing pier building was swept away and the boardwalk
leading to it somewhat damaged. On the boardwalk front
in Wildwood or at the Crest there appears to be no damage
done. y
Wednesday night was a bad one, with a mixture of
and snow. Thursday about daylight the rain had
stopped and no more fell until towards evening. There
was a light rain and sleet all night and on Friday morning
the view of the landscape was a beautiful one, every object
of door being covered with ice and sleet, with the tenn
perature about "a. 1t will be several days before trains
will be run on the branches here. Big forces of men are at
work making repairs to the roadbed.
The first mail came in on Thursday about four o'clock
in the afternoon, being brought in by auto trucks from the
together with newspapers and perishable freight.
