THE TUESDAY NIGHT
DANCE GREAT SUCCESS
The Sonora Demonstration Proved
Interesting. Good Crowd
Attends.

The Sonora Demonstration held in
the Armory Hall on Tuesday evening
last was greatly enjoyed by all who
attended. A democratic spirit pre-
vailed throughout the evening, MAX
ing one feel entirely at home. Prizes
were awarded for refined dancing
and all had a big laugh when Mr..
"Pat" Ward, who won the gentle
mans prize, began to unwrap the
package handed him. After remov-
ing wrapper after wrapper, he finally
found his award-a Jazz Flutrombone
"a big name for a little tin whistle.
This demonstration was given by
the Pocomoke Musical Supply Com
pany who have recently opened a
music house in this city, and was for
the purpose of demonstrating the
Sonora as a dance instrument, the
agency for which they have in this
section. All were pleased both with

Enjoyable Valentine
Social Held Monday Night

A very successful Valentine Social
was held in the lecture room of the
Methodist Protestant Church by the
Junior Aid Society Monday night of
this week. An unusually large crowd
attended and the silver offering at
the door far exceeded the expectations
of these young people. A grab bas-
ket was in evidence, containing vari-
GUS articles, donated by the members,
which were sold for 10 cents. Also a
fortune telling booth, both of which
netted quite tidy sum. The room
was appropriately decorated for the
occasion and presented most attrac-
tive and festive appearance. Games
were indulged in and instrumental
music was feature of the evening.
Refreshments were served later in the
evening.

BENEFIT PICTURE FOR
THE JR. AID SOCIETY
Bert Lytell in "The Right Of Way
Other Attractions For Week
AT Empire.

The class of pictures shown at the
Empire Theatre for the past several
weeks have created much favorable
comment with lovers of screen drama
and Manager Bratten says the pro-
gram for the coming week will be
equally as good as the last. A brief
outline of the features to be present.
ed follows:
Herbert Rawlinson in "Passers By
and episode one of Bride 13" will be
shown on Monday. "Passers By" is a
special Pathe production and due to
the great expense incurred in running
the great William Fox serial bride
13", the admission price has been in
creased for this night from Is cents
to 22scents and with 8 cents war tax
will make the total 25 cents. This
will apply to Monday nights only, and
the admission prices for other nights
of the week will be as advertised in
the theatre ad.
Tuesday will bring Charles Ray,
the chick" actor in ''Hayfoot, Straw
foot" This surely sounds "hicky'
and will no doubt be very "hickish." "
Buck Jones, rapidly receiving rec
ognition as one of the most brilliant
Western stars on the screen, will be
seen Wednesday in "Two Moons"
This is a picturization of Robert
Wells Ritchie's novel "Trails to Two
Moons" end is typically western.
On Thursday will come film star
who has not been seen here for some
time-Robert Warwick in "Secret
Service" a Metro production in six
reels.
Friday, the Junior Aid Society of
the Presbyterian Church has arrang-
ed for a benefit picture to be shown
entitled "The Right of Way" star
ring Bert Lytell. 1t is a picturiza-
ton of Sir Gilbert Parkers novel by
the same name, and those who have
read the book will recall this stirring,
picturesque and unusual story OF
Canadian life in Montreal and again
on the fringe of the north woods. The
admission prices for this picture will
be 35 cents.
"Number IT., Louis Tracy's popu-
lar novel has been picturized and will
be shown at the Empire on Saturday
George Walsh is the star. The many
thousands who have read the book
have little need to be told how excit'
ing it is and what excellent picture
material it contains.

FELIX LAKE BUYS
$2,5OO,OOO site
Handsome Washington Apartments
Purchased By A Former
Pocomokian.

Mr.. Felix Lake, we'll known to our
people and a former resident of this
city, figured in one of the largest
real estate deals of recent date in
Washington, d. c., having purchaser
one of the most handsome apartment
properties in the National capital.
In speaking of the deal the Evening
Star, one of the leading daily papers
of Washington, has the following to
say:
Two of the largest real estate tran
sactions of many months were con-
sumated this week with the change of
owners of the Clifton Terrace apart
ments, Clifton street, between 18th
and 18th streets, and of the new
apartment house, 2700 Connecticut
avenue, Northwest, corner of Wood
ley road.
Clifton Terrace, formerly known as
Wardman Courts, was sold to Felix
Lake for $2,500,000, probably the
highest price ever paid in an apart
ment transaction in this city. The sale
was arranged through the offices of
the C. w. Simpson Co., Inc, in con-
nection with the +. H. Smith Com
pany, representing the owner, and by
w. L. Lanning, representing Mr..
Lake.
Clifton Terrace apartments occupy
nearly the entire frontage on Clifton
street in one block, covering four
acres of land. The property consists
of three apartment buildings, all de-
tached, containing about 320 apart
ments. The annual rental income
amounts to approximately $200,000.
The buildings were erected some
years ago by Harry Wardman. He
sold the property to the Kicker Realty
Company exactly one year ago this
week, The consideration at that time
being reported as approXimating
100000. The present price exceeded
the former by about half million
dollars.
The Star also gives front page
picture of the property showing it to
be handsomely located and in excel
lent condition.
Good for Felix Lake. we are glad
he is making good.

Mr.. E. j. Schoolfield
Confined To His Home

Mr.. E. ]. Schoolfield, one of our
best known and most prominent citi-
zens, has been confined to his home
this week by reason of sickness. We
understand that his condition is not
at all alarming, his trouble being a
slight nervous ailment which his ply
sicians and family expect soon to be
rectifed. Mr.. Schoolfield is one of
our most Industrious citizens. For an
office man his hours are exceptionally
long and he digs away from morning
till night, looking after the local in
terests of the big corporation of
which he is member. A man Of his
industry should stop occasionally and
take the rest cure. At this writing
his condition is much improved and
our readers will join us in expressing
the hope that the improvement will
continue.
