AT THE OPERA HOUSE

Friday and Saturday-"DangerOus
Curve Ahead"-Just what the public
would see if a wall could be ripped
from the average home is revealed in
GOldwyn's production of Rupert
Hughes first story written directly for
the screen, Dangerous Curve Ahead"
which comes to the Opera House, Fri
day and Saturday. The photoplay is
a truthful depletion of the trials,
struggles, triumphs and defeats of
early married life. And they are
presented so truthfully, sympathetic
cally, humanity and humorously that
one feels he is really looking on at
the household of the Harley Joneses
with the Obstructing fourth wall
knocked out. Following such a mas
ter-picture as "The Old Nest" the new
Rupert Hughes photoplay, Danger
Gus Curve Ahead!", places its author
at the head of the front rank of screen
writer's. 1t is said to bring into full
fruitiOn the spirit of truthful human
comedy.

DIR. WALTER HULLIHEN, ILL
Stricken With Violent Chill Wednes-
day Night and Near Pneumonia

DR.. Walter Hulihen, president of
the University of Delaware, is ser
iously ill at his home in Newark. He
was stricken suddenly late Wednes
day night. While pneumonia IS
threatened, it was said Thursday that
this result may not follow. DR.. Hull
hen appeared as well as usual We'd
nesday, being at his office in the uni
versity all day. Early in the evening
he was about and showed no sign Of
illness, but at midnight, after he had
retired, he was stricken with a violent
chill.
DR.. Walter H. Steel, DR.. Hullihen's
physician was summoned. He found
a slight congestion of one lung, and
immediate attention was given. DR..
Steel was at the house again Thurs
day morning and he found signs of
improvement.
DR.. Hullihen's illness is believed to
be due to the strain incident to the
preparation for the annual commence
ment of the university, which started
Sunday.
Because of the seriousness of his
illness, he was unable to participate
in any of the commencement activities
As an opening social feature of the
commencement week he had arranged
reception to the graduates at his
home on the Knoll last Saturday
afternoon. He is much improved at
this writing.

TRIBUTE TO LATE L. /. HANDY

Resolutions on His Death Presented
TO Superior Court of New Castle Co.
Harry Emmons and w. w. Knowles,
a committee of the New Castle County
Bar Association, presented resolutions
to Superior Court Friday in Whining
ton, on the death of L. Irving Handy,
formerly of Smyrna. Chief Justice
Pennewill stated that the court would
make special response at the meeting
of the Supreme Court, which will be
held next week. 'In presenting for
record in this court, the resolutions of
the Bar Association relating to the
death of L. Irving Handy" Mr.. En-
mons said, will not enlarge upon the
many tributes already paid to the
memory of our deceased friend by his
former associates, but will only briefly
recall in a general way some of the
excellent qualities which marked his
public career. Mr.. Handy was a
typical American. Starting life with
no ancestral estate back of him, and
with no exceptional advantages, like
the great mass of America youth he
was from early manhood thrown en-
tirely upon his own resources and was
the sole architect of his fortunes. He
had, however, certain qualities which
no advantage of birth or fortune, how
ever great, could have supplied. His
life was a struggle by which these
qualities were developed and made
known and which secured for him 4
position Of no ordinary distinction
among his fellow men. "Mr. Handy
over and above all other attainments
was an orator. The qualities of the
orator were born and bred in him.
His voice, his presence, the beauty Of
his diction, his keen wit and quickness
of perception, his unbounded flow of
humor, his whole personality pro-
claimed him and stamped him as a
man of power in the use of the spoken
word. Mr.. Handy was not college
bred, but his experiences as student,
teacher, editor, Congressman, lecturer
and political speaker, made him a man
of education and culture of far higher
degree than the average collegian and
also gave him an equipment for his
legal career which few possessed.
But while as a lawyer he displayed
great ability and attained high rank,
it was after all as an advocate that
his brilliancy and effectiveness of
speech placed him in the first rank
with those who have won distinction
as orators at this bar. ale was a
man of simple habits, in hearty SYM
pathy with the common people and
ever ready with all the means he could
command to help forward a worthy
cause or to assist those less fortunate
than himself. His usefulness extend
ed in many directions. AS a lawyer
as a statesman in active touch with the
political issues of the day, as an advo-
cate of the political principles of the
Democratic party, as a popular lectur-
er, as a public spirited citizen and as
Smyrna times., 1922-06-14

a man of prominence and distinction
in his own local community, in all
these relationships as we'll as in his
more private family and social affairs,
he rendered high and noble service
and commanded the respect and
esteem of all who were brought in
contact with him. His memory will
long be cherished by many and by none
more so than by those who knew him
best and who associated with him in
the practice of his chosen profession
in the courts of this county and
state"

TO PROTECT FUEL
Ii Coal Strike Lasts One More

But Plan Doesn't Include Offer

Washington, May Unless the
coal strike is amicably settled within
the next month, President Harding,
backed by all the powers Of the gov
eminent will act to end the now
month-old controversy, it was learned
authoritatively today.
With Secretary of Commerce
Hoover and others of his cabinet Of
ficers, the president has about con-
cluded a plan for curing the per1od1-
ally strike diseased coal industry The
plan, it was learned today, does not
contemplate harsh measures with
either the operators or striking min
ers. Rather, it involves the offering
of inducements by the government to:
Encourage greater summer produc-
means of stabilizing the industry.
Furnish greater storage facilities
thru the fundamentally of govern
ment loans if necessary.
Lowering of freight rates on coal
during the summer months.
To accomplish these remedies. the
president will suggest a. Joint confer
ence sanctioned by the government,
and relieved by the presidential call
of any possible stigma of violation of
law.

sponsor of the measure creating a fed

suggested to the committee inclusion
in his bill of a provision which would
require court backing to any penalties
the agency might impose on coal
operators refusing any information
which was sought.
The teeth already in the bill is the
provision which would deny coal
operators holding back" any infor-

the government, the right to ship their

empower the agency with the right to
