BAND CONCERTS TO DRAW
BIG CROWDS IN CITY
(Continued from page onc)

q boon to Perth Amboy. and the fact
that they will be available to all
sections of the city makes them all
the more valuable. l am sure that
they will teEd to raise our standard
of citizenship, and viii create a
stronger ST irit of civic pride,
Public band concerts in other ci-
ties have been found to be an excel
lent AmeriCaniZation measure, and
TO a city with as large n foreign
born population as ours, you can
readily see how important this
would be to us. For this reason l
wish to suggest to the committee
that will rrange these concerts,
that everv program begin with
America" and end with THE Star
Spaneled Banner" Can you mag
inc a more inspiring sight than a
multitude Of men, women and chill
Gren. American-born and foreign
born. standing with barred heads in
respectful silence listening TO the
strains of these, u national hymns
Americans, all?
1t is possible that the committee
is considering a similar measure,
but Il not. l trust that you VIII
brinS the matter to their attention.
Yours very truly,

Strand Attraction

"A Wide Open Town." SelZnick
picture starring Conway Tear!e.
which is the attraction at the
Strand theatre for two days begin
ming tomorrow at once suggests the
gambling story. Those who ses the
photoplay, however, will discover
that the gambling interest is by no
means paramount.
The story, written by Earle Nit
chell. has to do with the refinement
in the caldron of adversely of a
youngster born in unhappy environ
ment in order that he may become a
big strong outstanding character iii
the everyday life of an average C m
munity.
Conway Tearle, star of "A Wide
Open Town." has always been great
lv admired by photoplay devotees
for the reason that he is rarely, if
ever seen in the idyllic roles which
are so often entrusted to make
screen stars. In "A Wide Open
Town" the character he portrays is
one which will appeal to every man
and woman who has learned from
bitter experience that expected per-
lection in human nature scarcely
ever materialiZes. 1t is a typical
Tearle characterization in that the
star stands out first and foremost
as an actor and not so much be-
cause a kind Providence has given
him a comely face and figure and
the intelligence and training to
wear his clothes well. The direction
of the picture is by Ralph Ince.
whose work for the Selznick com
pany has recently been attracting
unusual attention.

THEATRES
Wallace Reid at Ditmas

If your rent is too high. go up in
the air. where it's free. That's what
Wallace Reid does in his latest
Paramount picture, "Ren Free. y
which was presented at the Ditmas
Theatre TO pleased audiences yes
tcrday.
In this picture Mr.. Reid is seen as
Buell. Arnister, Jr., an artist-the
son of a lawyer who wants him to
follow the law as a profession. But
Buell. prefers to live in a dingy
studio in poverty for the sake of an
artistic career. Through his in
ability to pay the rem he is finally
ousted out on to the roof, by the
irate landlady. He journeys over the
roofs and finally "squats" in a fine
home, and the owner being away,
takes possession of a room as his
quarters. He meets Barbara, the
girl, who is also a roof dweller and
it later develops that she is the
daughter of the man who owned
the fine home. but who had died
and left her nothing because of the
wicked influence of her stepmother.
The artist, however, finds a new will
ir a dressing gown formerly used by
the deceased father, which awards
the daughter all his property and all
ends happily after many complica-
tons caused by the homecoming of
the stepmother and her count hus-
band.

MISUNDERSTANDING though its
title is, and despite the fact that
Mary Miles Minter has almost al
ways been associated with roles oil
the sweet sixteen type. her latest
Itealart picture for Famous Players
Lasky distribution, THE Heart Spe-
Cialist," possesses a dramatic punch
seldom equalled upon the screen. 1t
will be presented at the Crescent
Theatre for two days, commencing
tomorrow.
With this picture Miss Minter def
inltely enters the ranks of the dra-
matte queens of the screen, for the
role which she i%nterprets is one
which makes great demands upon
her histrionic ability and enables ner
tc show phases of her art never be-
fore revealed on the screen. The
story tells of how a young romance
writer, sent out by her editor to gain
a new insight into the heart of ro-
mances which she is writing, finds it
in a surprising manner in a more
surprising place. But not until she
has fought with crooks, matched
wits with a half crazed doctor, been
thrown down a well and generally
treated in such a way as to make
the young man she ultimately wins,
proud of her.
Mary Morrison, a prominent
magazine writer wrote the story and
Frank Urson directed. Allen For
rest is leading man, the remaining
members of the supporting cast be-
iEg Noah Berry, Carmen Phillips,
Jack Matheis and James Neill.
