BILE Townsend farmers are going to

''They that wait upon the Lord shall

LENT-a familiar word, much abused
word, oftentimes lightly or jestingly
spoken word, and yet word of mar
velous power to every earnest, honest
man, woman and child. Its lessons are
lessons of devotion; its truths are truths
of manhood; its plea for reality triumph
ing over the shame of life. Its many
sided truths commend themselves to
different people in very different ways;
but there is spirit underlying all its
ways that makes men better, nobler,
holier, in their daily lives-and that is
what we want.
The Rector will preach at the Lenten
Services on Friday evenings at Milford,
Claymont, Laurel and Wilmington.
We have been having excellent
attendance at the Lenten services. Let
not the inclement weather interfere
with our resolution to be present at

COMING ATTRACTION

There has probably never been
single story that was ever written fol
the stage or screen that has caused SC
much comment, as has that OF "Ro'
NANCE" by Edward Sheldon, one Of
Americas greatest writers, which has
been screened by United Artists Cor.
poration and in which Miss Doris
Keane, Americas most famous emo
tional actress, plays the role of the
operate singer, the same as she has on
the stage in New York. Chicago, Bos-
ton and London, during the past six
years.
The right for this play passed into
Miss Keane's and her manager, Charles
DiIlingham's hands from Winthrop
Ames and Lee Shubert. At the time
the play was bought by Miss Keane the
money paid was without doubt the
largest amount in actual cash for the
rights of any American play, or for
that matter, for any foreign one either.
For this consideration, Mr.. Dilling-
ham did not, by any manner of means,
own the play outright. He merely ac-
quired the managerial rights to produce
the drama and Mr.. Sheldon was still
paid ten per cent. royalty on the
gross the play produced each week.
AS a matter of fact, little Miss
Keane, who is as unmercenary an
actress as ever lived, could have had
the exclusive rights for Romance, "
for exactly nothing two years before,
when Mr.. Sheldon wrote the play, for
he wrote it especially for her and at the
time he sold it, he made a condition
that she only should play the leading
role. A word from her at that time
would have given her the rights for
nothing, but Miss Keane being only too
delighted at the chance Of playing a
good part, said nothing.
At that time, Romance" was worth
it's authors estimation only, and in fact
until after its first performance in Al
bany, there were only one or two per-
sons who had great faith in it's drawing
value.
This production will appear in the
Middletown Opera House Thursday
night, March Sd, and is conceded to be
the most emotional love story that has
ever been pictured for the screen.
