Prohibition Law

Edward D. HARDWOOD, sheriff Of
Kennebec county. Friday received a
letter from James B. Perkins of
Boothbay Harbor. the federal pro-
hibition director for Maine, declaring
that the enforcement of the prohibit

the performance Of great construc-
tive public service, and in this SER
vice Director Perkins wishes to as
sure him of the hearty cooperation
of his office.
1.-The National Prohibition Act pro-
vides for the establishment of a fed
eral enforcement agency to co-ordi-
nate and supplement-not to sup

|SHELEARNED
"THE A. B. G..
OF LOVE"

Appeal-that's the keynote Of '"The
A. B. c. Of Love" which will be seen at
the Colonial theatre this afternoon
and tonight. There is everything
possible about this Pathe feature
that will appeal. To begin with
there's Mae Murray. She has been
seen here before. Her last appear
ance was in ION with the Dance"
which made such a big hit at the
Opera house.
In that big production she was sue
cessful. She is just as successful In
1.-The A. B. c. of Love" but 1t is in
an entirely different way, for the
|. play is as different from the other
as black is from white. 1t is a beau
tiful dramatic romance that fits in
with the tastes of every member Of
the family and every stratum of So
ciety.
The costuming of the play is ap-
pealing; the theme is appealing; the
photography is appealing. There is
appeal all the way through and the
men as well as the women will feel
it and respond. To begin with Mae
Murray appears as Kate Martin, a
ragged, homeless little country girl
who marries Harry Bryant. He
married her because he loved her and
also because she was ignorant of the
ways of life. Not only had he to
teach her to write the A. B. C.'s Of
the alphabet, but he also had to in
struct her in the A. B. c of Love.
Kate proved an apt pupil. Bryant
| was a successful playwright, but
when the leading lady of his play
! came along in her clinging, Sinking
gowns and vamped him right before
Hates pert and pretty nose, the
bonds of their blissful married life
strained to the point of separation.
Then the wife put her A. B. c. of
love to good use and the result is a
story that is bound to hold the inter-
est from the first scene to. the last.
"Ain't Nature Wonderful" is the
title of the latest Lyons and Moran
comedy that will be shown today.
The 18th episode Of 1.-THE Lost City,
will be seen and there will also be
another Pathe Review which is sure
to prove as entertaining and as in
teresting as anything that has yet
been Seen.-Adv.
