With dancing by Ada Morse, one of Broadway's most graceful and versatile dancers, and with snap dancing done by such experts as Tom Weary, James Walters and others, and with Ada Tuck Whitaker singing those old tunes of the home, addition al impetus has been given to the classic photoplay.
 Probably the greatest overture yet played by the PoH Concert orch hestra is that interpretation of '"The Evolu ton of Dixie," originally played by the Boston symphony. This great tune is shown in the making and is carried even farther when it is made into a fox trot and also into grand opera

City Marshal Bacon
Resigns Position on
Account III Health

City Marshal Arson j. Bacon ten
dered his resignation to Mayor John NJ
Robinson at Monday nights meeting
Of the city government held at City
hall. This action on the part of the
marshal came as a complete surprise
| to even Mr.. Bacon's most intimate
friends. Mr.. Bacon when interviewed
gave as his reason for resigning that
his health had become somewhat i'm
, paired since an illuminating gas pois-
ching which occurred year ago the
last winter, and that he wished to Sc
cure a complete rest from all official
labOrS.
The marshars resignation from pub
lie Office removes without doubt one of
the most faithful police officers the
city ever had. He has always enjoyed
every popularity among the citizens
of this community. being elected city
marshal on the Democratic ticket time
and again when the rest Of the slate
would. go for the Republican candi-
dates. His leaving the office while APP
preciated by all as tending to better
himself physically will be very much
regretted by host of friends.
Mr.. Bacon was elected city marshal
by the people. of Hallowell the first
time in 1913. He served one year and
was defeated for reelection. However,
he was elected again seven years ago
and has served as marshal ever since.
On last Washington's birthday Mr..
Bacon passed his list milestone. Mr..
Bacon came TO Halloweu as a young
man from Rockland and for years was
employed as a skilled cutter of granite
at the local sheds of the Hallowell
Granite Works. He is the father of
two sons. one in New York and the
other in Massachusetts.

uty sheriff Of Kcnnebcc county The

York state colleges when a motion
was adopted that an association of
college presidents be formed for the
purpose of considering the best in
tercsts of athletics, and it vas voted
to recommend to the faculties and
trustees of the colleges participating
that all coaches, beginning with the
fall of 1923, be appointed in the same
way as members of the faculty.
The motion embodying this recon-
mcndation was as follows:
THAT. recognizing that intercolle-
giate athletics are at present u part
of the work of the department of
physical education, we recommend
to our representative faculties, and
trustees that, beginning with the
fall of 1923, all coaches be appointed
in the same way as are members of
the faculty and other. officers of the
institution.
THAT we further recommend that
as. soon as it is practicable, and il
possible by the fall of 1923, the pres
cnt system of seasonal coaches be re-
placed by coaches who are members
of the faculty as defined by the fol-
lowing terms:
They shall be paid by the college
and only by the college; they shall
be in residence throughout the year;
they shall have other duties in the
physical training department or in
some other department in addition to
their coaching; they shall be paid at
the same rate at the other members
OF the faculty; they shall have the
same permanence of appointment as
other members of the faculty; they
shall be selected in the same way as
other members of the faculty."
This plan, if adopted will mean
placing the control of athletics and
coaching entirely in the hands of the
colleges themselves and will deprive
alumni councils of the power they
now In many cases exercise.

Amherst college presided and Presi-
