MILFORD PROUD OF
FINE NEW THEATRE
Special to The Evening Journal.

Special to The Evening Journal.
MILFORD, Aug. 13. - Milford,
with a population of less than 5000.
now has a moving picture theatre
which compares favorably with the
atres in cities many times larger
than the Delaware town. 1t is un-
der the Nixon-Nirdlinger manage
ment, and the higher class photo
plays will be given at popular prices.
From theatrical standpoint,
'Nixon-Nirdlinger will bring Broad
way to Milford.
'Nixons Palace Theatre" is ti;e
name of the new theatre. 1t is an
addition to the chain of Nixon
Nirdlinger theatres situated in cities
and towns throughout the cou 1try.
The house will hold about 600 per-
sons and has been beautifully dec
GRATED throughout. Motion picture
machines, screens and other equip
ment are the same as is used in
leading city theatres. Machines and
screens are being installed and final
touches made to the interior of the
house. The opening date is to be in
about two weeks.
The people Of Milford are as
sured of the same class OF produc-
tions that are being shown in the
Stanley and other first-run houses in
Philadelphia and New York city.
Mr.. Nirdlinger's interests are con-
solidated with the Stanley Company
of America, and the Milford Thea
ter will be booked as the Dover thea
ters, through the Stanley Company.
The residents of Milford and sur
rounding country will have the pleas
ure of seeing first-run shows, the
same as in larger cities. With its
seating capacity. the theater will be
big enough to take care of the large
Saturday night crowds. For those
who are weary from the days work,
the leather-cushioned chairs, which
are a part Of the theater's equipment,
will be appreciated.

CHARM FAILED,
DICINIE SAYS

BIAS UNDER $500
BAIL FOR HEARING

Alleged to have made several
thousand dollars by selling charms
to superstitious persons in search of
cures. bringing Of happiness or for
tune, Frank Bais. a one-armed Ne
gro. was held in $500 bail for a hear
ing on Wednesday by Deputy Judge
Lynn in Municipal Court this morn
ing, on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretense. The case was
continued until that time at the re-
quest of Edwin r. Cochran, Jr., at
torney for Bais.
Bais was arrested about IL o'clock
last evening by Detectives McDan-
iel and Sutton upon a complaint of
Acostina Dicinie. 1920 Claynont
street, who alleges that she paid
Bais 500 for a charm that failed
TO work. There are probably a num-
Der OF other like cases involving the
defendant, Assistant City Solicitor
Green remarked to the court this
morning.
One Italian purchased from Dais,
1t is said. a bag with a bone in il
that would bring him luck.
In addition to the charge OF OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
Bais also may be charged with
practicing medicine without a IL
cense as he is believed to have given
medical advice for a fee.
A circular taken by the detectives
explains partly the scheme under
which Bais is said to have worked.
In part it reads:
You are invited to call at my
home and 1 will tell you anything
you may desire to know regarding
your life, what you should do and
how you shall do it, in order to be-
come happy.
Il will tell you IL you are fortu-
nate and what should be done in or
der to have peace in your family and
how to make a good marriage and
Keep away from your murmurine
enemies"
Balls is said to have been carrying
on this sort of business for a lone
time. He told the police he had beer
in Wilmington for five years. He
gave his age as about so years and
responded to the title. Doctor
Bais was sitting in front of hi,
doorway when Detective Sutton and
Mcdaniel called last night and IL
said to have arisen cordially wher
he saw the two well dressed stranger,
turn into his place. He invited then
into the house but when informed
that the men were officers Of the Law
and wanted him, he tried to excus,
himself and started hastily to &,
inside.
He was seized by Detective Nc
Daniel while Detective Sutton caile,
the patrol wagon. The two officer
then made a careful search Of tn,
premises In an upper room, ap
parently used as a bed room wer,
found a loaded shot gun and a load
ed revolver. 80 calibre. There ais,
we're ''voodoo" charms of variou
sorts some of which were taken b,
the detectives as evidence.
