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 Is" 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 1.-TWO Moons" "
This is perturbation of Robert
Wells Ritchie's novel "Trails to Two
Moons"-a4ld 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 benefit picture to be shown
entitled "The Right of Way" star
ring Bert Lytell. 1t is picturiza-
ton of Sir Gilbert Parker's 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 TT, 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.

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
Melted quite tidy sum. The room
was appropriately decorated for the
occasion and presented most attrac-
tive and festive appearance. Games
were INDUCED in and instrumental
music was a feature of the evening.
Refreshments were served later in the
evening.

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-

ing wrapper after wrapper, he finally
found his award-a Jazz Flutrombone

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

and especially were they delighted
with the hospitable treatment they
received at the hands of this new
and progressive firm.

Mr.. E. ]. Scheduled, 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

office man his hours are exceptionally
long and he digs away from morning

RITCHIE AGAINST
EXTRA SESSION
Opposes 'Bootlegging," However,
And Says He Will Assist In
CURLING 1t.

Governor Richie does not think
that there exists in Maryland any
emergency in connection with the en-
forcement of the law, such as the
Constitution contemplates, or which
would justify him in calling an extra
session Of the legislature, as request
ed by Superintendent George ".
Crabbe of the Anti-Saloon Leagu-
He so stated in his reply to DR..
Crabbe.
Discussing the conditions regarding
bootlegging and liquor violations,
Governor Richie says:
"The actual situation in Maryland
is this:
"Under ruling of Attorney Gen
eral Armstrong, the State liquor Ii
cense laws are still in force, and the
police authorities are charged with
the duty of enforcing them, which
am advised they are doing as far as
possible. AS a practical matter, this
makes the sale of Intoxicating liquor
illegal under the State laws.
"Mr. Armstrong having ruled that
there is no obligation on the police to
enforce the Volstead Act, the police
do not take the initiative in enforcing
the antitransportation provisions of
that act, but the Police Department
does hold itself at all times at the
service of the federal authorities for
the purpose of acting and co-operat-
ing with them in enforcing not only
the antitransportation provisions, but
all other provisions of the Volstead
Act whenever asked by the federal
authorities to do so, which is quite
constantly.
"My advices are that the bootleg
ging, which all good citizens mus,
deplore, is steadily decreasing, and
this decrease is sure to continue be-
cause of the recent federal ruling rel
alive to permits to wholesalers.I think
that the coming year can best be uti'-
lied by a calm, intelligent and thor
ough study and observation of actual
conditions here and elsewhere as they
are developing, as the basis for deter
mining, before the next legislature
meets, how most surely to attain the
highest practicable standards of law
and oredr."

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 purchased
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 F. 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 800 apart
ments. The annual rental income
amounts to approximately 100000.
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
9LUU,UUU. Inc preSenC price eAceeue"
the former by about half million
dollars.
The Star also gives a 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.
