Many persons who followed the
proceedings OF the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Convention held in Port
land, Ne, last week, seem TO think
that the plan for a chain of con-
nected inland waterways in the East
is something comparatively new.
That such is not the case is shown
by the following letter, written.
almost a century ago. by Major Will
liam Tell Poussln to f. I. dupont Of
this city the letter having been
found recently among the E. 1. du-
Pont papers:
Washington. June 4, 1924.
MY Dear Mr.. duPont:-
Il have had the pleasure OF hand

From this examination OF the

conclusions:
l. That the Rev. Hall and Mrs.

Mrs. Hall. said he was the only one
who held the key TO the ghost

Cross examination OF persons liv-
in fairly close to the Philips place

The most significant tale was told
by Charles Jones. an auto mechanic,

CRANDALL'S-
"The SnOwshOe Trail"

VIRILE drama took command
of the screen at Crandall's
Theater yesterday when THE
Snowshoe Trail" starring Jane
Novak and Roy Stewart, held the
fascinated attention of capacity
crowds. This subject, which will
remain the chief feature of the bill
throughout the first three days of
the current week. is well-aCted,
most interesting and most pictur;
esque film play.
The narrative fairly bristles with
taut situations, disclosing the al
most insuperable obstacles that
were overcome by a girl from the
States searching for her fiance in
the far North.
Jane Novak, in the role Of Vir-
ginia fremont, demonstrates again
that she excels in characterizations,
of self.reliant young women cast
upon their own resources in far
places. Visually, she is completely
charming, and in the moments of
emotional stress rises to new
heights. Roy Stewart, always a
likeable, outstanding sort of hero.
is cast in the co-stellar role oppO-
site Miss Novak and does much to
add to the effectiveness of the
scenes in which he participates.
Comedy IS provided in abundance

Dancing Dolls. a bevy Of
~ pretty girls who frolic with
precision and skill, are the high
lights of a rather entertaining
revue-vaudevill bill. Hello. New
York." at the Belasco this week.
The ensemble work of these Ameri-
can girls, trained after the manner
Of the London school, bears COM
parison with the best. They are
the essence of pep and grace, and
perform collectively like a company
of well-tralned soldiers. Last
nights audience acclaimed them
with enthusiastic applause.
Few vaudevillians work with the
ease and seeming nonchalance of
Phil Baker. who ambles through
the two acts of the revue injecting
his unctuous humor at convenient
moments and ringing the comedy
bell early and often. Aided by an
Gated assistant Nin a stage box,
popular melodies and bowed off
finally with one of the substantial
hits of the evening.
Bobby Higgins. who is recalled
as the comedy prop of Charlotte
Greenwood, returns to the two-a-
day with a vaudeville sketch, "Oh
Chetney," that Avery Hopwood
would enjoy thoroughly. 1t has a
boudoir atmosphere, but its urban
humor, while distinctly gingery, is
quite harmless. and Lewis Allen
Brown has succeeded in puncturing
the action with well-timed laughs.
Betty Pierce is a charming AMI
capable foil for the sallies of Hig-
gins.
Peterson Brothers, acrobats,
have an act that combines a num-
Der of thrills with one feat, indi-
eating India rubber shoulder
joints which removes them from
the average class. Betty Fuller
with a group of jazz melodies and
some nimble dancing earned
generous response.
Singing honors accrue to Helen
Eley. a. prima donna with a real
voice. and a selection of semi
classical numbers chosen to dis
play its quality.
For the revue portion OF Hello.
New York" a series of comedy
skits serve we'll to introduce the
principals and hold up the average
of laughs. Lon Hascall. Betty
Fuller, Ameta Pynes and Maurice
Cole furnish real fun in a scene

station. and a rolling chair Incl
