TNiE Celtics are out OF the Eastern

not going to spoil anybody's Christmas.

and sign the same bunch up n few

VIII they get together and pass real
legislation that will put n limit on the

A rule should also be enacted that
VIII not permit the Celtics TO come

that the league is all shot again. The

Trenton Wins Again
The Trenton Potters Increased tbe;r
lead In the Eastern League to a full
game by defeating Coatesvillc in the

they started off at a rapid clip and soon
were In front, but soon as the Potters
secured the range Of the basket there
was different story.
At the end of the first half the home
tenn had just doubled the score Of the
visitors, the figures being 90 to II. On
the restart the losers again spurted, but
their rally was short lived, as goals by
Meehan and Dunn came fast and more
than overbalanced the points made by
Coatesville. Dunn and Meehan, by the
way, were the stars Of the fray, each
hitting the net for four baskets.
During the second half George Glasco
was injured and this gave Herb Steen
another opportunity to break into the
ranks of the Eastern League as n
player. Herb responded Immediately
by sending the ball through the cords

Broadway Rose"
An Instant Hit

In broadway Rose, which opened
yesterday at the Isis theatre, Mae Muir
ray has added to the dramatic interest
Of powerful love story a dazzling pro-
duction conspicuous for its gorgeous set
tings and wonderful costumes. Not the
least interesting parts of the picture are
those episodes where Miss Murray is
given opportunity to display her ability
as a dancer. There she becomes the idol
of Broadway and receives the adulatlCn
which is shOwered on the favOrites OF
the Gay White Way. Success in her
career only serves to increase her desire
for the love and happiness which every
woman Graves. And so when Hugh
Thompson urges her to marry him she
consents in spite of the fact that she
knows that his father will disinherit him
for marrying a dancer. The Thompsons,
YOU see, were Of the Fifth Avenue elite
and had an aristocratic young debutante
already picked out for their son. SO
when they heard the news through de-
tective they got exceedingly busy with
son Hugh. The result added considerably
to Rosalies knowledge of human nature
but nothing at all to her happiness. How
ever. that young lady soon learned that
happiness is often just around the corner,
and in the end things turn cut to suit
her and also the motion picture fans
who see broadway Rose"
AS Resale Lawrence, Miss Murray has
a role that gives her an opportunity for
the best acting she has ever done. Incl
dentally, of course, she displays an array
of dazzling costumes, that stagger the
average man and bring gasps of delight
from the women of the audience.
An excellent cast has been assembled
TO surround Miss Murray which includes
Monte Blue. Alma Tell. Ray Bloomer,
Charles Lane, Mrs. Jennings and Ward
Crane
