The picture of the Empress theater aside from telling an exciting story, contains artistic scenes that are a rare delight. It is "The Right to Love-" featuring Mae Murray and Da- vid Powell, for the last time tonight.
 Miss Murray is seen as Lady Falk- landfi, wife of the British representa- tive at Constantinople. He is a dis solute man, who has hired a Prince Stanislaus to compromise Lady Falk- land. In this way Lord Falkland hopes to secure divorce and marry his mistress, Lady Edith. Col onel Loring, an American, played by David Powell, strikes up a friendship with Lady Falkland and in a clash with her husband, and Prince Stan islaus. Loring kills Lord Falkland By twist of fate, he is acquitted ln the subsequent trial
 Miss Murray and MT. Powell are seen to excellent advantage, ana the other members of the cast, which ln' c]udes Holmes E. Herbert, Alma Tell Macey Harlan, and Frank Losee, give creditable performance. Ouida Der gere adapted "The Right to Love- To morrow Mary Miles Minter and Jack Holt in "All Souls Eve"

SIGNALS FROM MURPHY AID
 MACKBATTERS

NEW YORK, June 30. - Steve O'Neill, of the Cleveland Indians, one of the best catchers in baseball and an observant gent as well, clalms to have discovered the secret of the AtR- letics' astonishing form reversal, He doesn't blame it on any of the pitch CTS, nor does he mention Bing Miller, sPop Young, Doc Johnston or Connie, elongated Mack. H
 Danny Murphy, ex-outfielder and present coach of the outfit, gets Steve's ballot as the man who has as much to do with Bing Miller's home runs as Ae Bing person himself.
 "He stands out there on the third base coaching lines," quoth Steve, and tips off the hitter on every pitch. Without fail he tips the fast one, the curve and the splitter, and all the batter has to do is to set him. self and let fly"
 Old stuff, Steve. Danny Murphy, in collaboration with Harry Davis, was doing that ten years ago, when the Athletics could muster a champion ship ball club. Off and on both have continued to do it since, but until recently the Athletic hitters failed to profit by the system.
 Davis and Murphy flashed them what was coming right enough, but that let the two sing-stealers out. They make hitters hit.
 In the old days the Athletics had Eddie Collins, Frank Baker, Stuffy McInnes, Eddie Murphy, Strunk, Old ring, Schang and other sincere hitters All have since gone their respective ways, and it may have been noted that they never hit as we'll elsewhere as they did in Philadelphia. Perhaps this depreciation was brought about by the advancing years of some of the players, but undoubtedly they missed the cooperation of the two tipsters.
 Harry Davis no longer patrols the coachers' box, picking signs out oi the air to pass on to less discerning in dividuals, but Murphy is still about the premises. He can and undoubted 1y does tip the hitter as to what is

on the way, and of course, the advant- age is tremendous.
 Yet, as pointed out previously, it takes good hitter to get away with a .35O average no matter what the con- ditions may be. Murphy'ss system merely tends to make an unusual hit ter out of a good one, for weak sis ter at the plate is always hopeless.
 You can think for him, but you can't give him eyesight.

TAKES LONG LEASE
ON A[D|NE THEATRE
II Will be Operated by Well
known Theatrical Syndicate
as Vaudeville House.
HlGH-ClASS ATTRACTIONS

Negotiations have just been closed
whereby the Topkis-Ginns organiza-
ton Is 20 take over the Aldine Theatre
for term OF years. the length OF
which was not revealed.
The AldIne Theatre has been closed
since the Fourth of July last and was
lately conducted as a combination
vaudeville and picture theatre.
What the policy of the Aldine The
atre will be under the management of
the new lessees. who are well known
in the theatrical world, especially here
ir Wilmington. where they conduct the
leading. theatres. all OF which have
proven successful, could not be ascer-
tanned.
When James Ginns was approached
by reporters this morning, and asked
about the policy of his new acquisition.
he stated smilingly that he had not yet
had time 10 give the matter any
serious thought. as he had been kept
very busy during the past week or so
In perfecting arrangements and fur
ther EXPRESSED himself 10 the effect
that the news gatherers here were GER
tainly a live bunch. for he thought he
could have kept the matter quiet until
he and his associates had gone into
details and outlined a policy that
would meet with approval of the VIII
mingiOn theatre goers. who have been
SO helpful in making their enterprises
a success.
/ Pressed for further details, he said
/ that while no definite policy could be
announced at this time. he felt that
/ the Aldlne would be devoted entrely
/ TO vaudeville Our friends and pa
/ irons" said he, who remember the
quality OF the programs given at the
Garrick. can rest assured that with
/ the capacity Of the Aldine, we will be
In a position 10 give even better pro-
grams than heretofore"
He did not expect the house would
bc opened before fall or early in Sep
| tember and that the best OF vaudeville
only would be shown; that the pro.
grams would be on a par with those
presented al the leading theatres ir
cities like Philadelphia, Baltimore an(
Washington.
Asked as to what prices would be il
three shows daily or continuous per
/ fOrmances. and what changes wes,
contemplated. Mr.. Ginns called a hal
by stating that further definite an
nouncements would be made in IN,
press just as soon as il was pOssibl,
and then with big smile of gratifica
ton bade the reporters good day
TO keep other appointments.
Although the assumption is that th'
Aldine Will be the only local vaude
vile house, Il was stated today, wheI
the question was asked. that there wa.
no announcement to make at this tim'
concerning the Garrick. Stock is be
ing successfully presented there now
and Il Is considered likely that 1t vii
continue as home for stock. Tht
arrangement would give the Topkis
Ginns organization one vaudevill
house Of large capacity. one stocl
house and five picture theatres.
