bart, in which Miss Garon made heI
initial stage triumph, adapted to the
screen; and 1t was because Of her
excellent work in the spoken drama
that she was selected by Henry
King, director. and Richard Barthel-
mess for the same part in the film.
Her engagement for the part marks
one of the most unusual screen sue
cesses IN record, for it is excep-
tional that an actress with such linn
tied stage experience and a brief
screen training should be chosen for
such an important role.
Sonny" has a universal mother
and o appeal that will find an echo
in every home of the country. The
story involves a case of dual iden-
tity after the war in which the pro-
prietor of a Hoboken poolroom is
mistaken for one of his buddics, the
son of a wealthy family. Unfor-
tunately for the roughneck there are
circumstances that make him accept
the nomenclature of the boy who had
been killed; and in his new sur
r%oundings he creates one of the most
appealing characters of screen
history.
Richard Barthelmess stars in a
dual role. The picture is the third
that Henry King has directed for this
star. who is rapidly becoming the
most popular figure on the screen.

SOUTH AMBOY, Oct. 25:-The
matter of continuing the improve

property owners. is still occupying
3the attention of officials here.
The councilmen have been put in
no a delicate position. To agree to
|ftthe petition of those opposed to
FURTHER improvements as has been
#cpmmeneed will mean besides the
expenditure of several hundred dol
liars on the part of the taxpayer in

fhardship to those who W property

For at least seventy years resi-
tdents on this section of David street
thave fenced in what is now claimed

tThose land affected are in
Edignant over the proposition due en-
urely to the fact that it will mean
an unnecessary outlay of money,
and in the end will make a Disagree

fhouses.
Some houses will protrude to

zone house will be on the sidewalk.
1.-The local question arises in this
way: Can the owner of his house
sbe made to move it back off the
sidewalk after having been erected
tthere about sixty-nine years ago?
In the majority of the cases the
Iporches, with their steps will nave
ito be eliminated to make the side
walk conform to what is now con-
sidered the city's right.
The council will be petitioned at
their next meeting by the majority
of the property owners of this Sec
ton of the street to continue with
the work as outlined by the city en-
gineer, which is considered by all
for the best interest of the city.
The petition states hat with the ap-
proach of frost conditions will be
SO that the work on the improve
ment will not be as it should.
The majority of the property
Owners seem to be in favor of get
ting the improvement under way.
The disadvantage of having the
street torn up during the winter
months, is also outlined in the Pc
fition to the council.
Just what action the council viii
take in the matter is as yet IN
Known. They, in every instance,
seem to want the matter decided
for a time to see if the property
owners of the street cannot come
to an agreement in the matter.
No agreement after a week of
dabb1ing has been reached, and the
city fathers will have to decide
what will be for the best interest
to all concerned.

THEATRES
Wonder Picture at Ditmas

NOuuCF ElctuTC Ut OItIIdS
A desert story which treats the
native Arabs as human beings, and
which is tremendously appealing and
dramatic, is Burning Sands" a
George H. Melford production now
showing at the Ditmas theatre, of
Arthur Weigalrs, successful novel.
This Paramount picture has as its
central character Daniel Lane, a stu
dent and philosopher who lives
among the Arabs and who, by his
insight and sympathy, learns to know
them as the ordinary man
does, and so finds in them much to
admire. Lane is portrayed by Mil
ton Stills. The other featured part,
that of Muriel, was allotted to Miss
Hawley. MurieI is an English girl,
the daughter OF Lord Blair, His
Maiesty's Chief Commissioner to
Egypt and the Soudan." Muriel
meets Lane. Muriel is fascinated by
this man, so different from any in
her circle of courtiers.
His apparent indifference to her
piques her interest. She jumps to
the conclusion that he has a harem
in the desert. His enemies mall
iciously corroborate her theory.
Meanwhile, she is falling in love with
him.
The story rises to it's climax as
Muriel, in love with Lane and baf-
fled by his indifference, determines
to break it down by louting conven-
ton and going to him at his oasis
in the desert. Lane proves to Mu-
riel that there is 10 harem, no weak
ness in his character-and no woman
in his life.
Convinced, she prepares to return
to Cairo, when the oasis is attacked
by renegade Arabs, led by the Sheik's
traitorous son who seek to kill Lane
and negotiate with the British gov
eminent for the return of the oasis
for a large sum. In the battle which
ensues Muriel reveals that is at
heart a genuine and true woman,
and such a one as Lane could love.
An excellent cast supports Miss
Hawley and Mr.. Stills in Burning
Sands" including such well known
players as Jacqueline Logan, Robert
Cain, Winter Hall, Louise Dresser,
and others.

Dr. Gulick Spoke
 On Establishing
 A Warless World

"General Tasker H. Bliss has stated that if we ever have another great war. the churches will be responsible for it said Dr. Gulick in his second address at the United church. Dr. GUlick, who is one of the secretaries of the World Alliance for the Promo tiOn of International Friendship through the Churches, stands at the center of the campaign for interna- gave survey of the work which has been done for this object. When you stop to think that there are in this country , millions of men and women connected with organized churches, and that the vast majority of the opposition of all the countries of Europe regard themselves as Chris tians, and yet in spite of this fact, we have gone through the terrible period or the world war, We can realize that If the eyes of the church were opened they will be responsible for another war if we ever have one.''
 We now have a ten-year day of graC=," ," said Dr. Gulick The achieve ments of the Washington Conference were great, but they were only be- ginning. We have left the submarine and only limited it's scope to a small extent. The nations who got together at the conference pledged themselves to use no poison gas in warfare with each other, but that does not guaran- There- still exist in all nations iIl-wiIl, fear, suspicion, and every other con- dition detrimental to world friend ship. We have got to disarm ouS minds before we can really disarm our arms" declared Dr. Gutick.
