AT THE ARCADIA.

The name Monte Cristo" despite
It's nineteenth century origin, Is as
easily recognized as are the names
OF the most expensive automobiles,
or the soap that floats. or a popular
breakfast food. This is because mil
lions have read the famous Alexan-
DIRE Dumas novel. 1t Is one OF the
most popular OF the Public Library
novels.
The photoplay production Of that
name, adapted from the story. there
fore. has an appeal that is univer-
sal. The jewellers of Manhattan and
the residents OF Waterloo, Iowa, alike
will be interested in seeing thts mar
velous drama OF love and adventure
which comm ences its local run at the
Arcadia Theatre today.
The manner in which the leading
Edmond Dantes. makes
himself the Instrument OF retribu-
tive Justice is so wen done that even
though his acts seem somewhat I'M
holy. one cannot hut glory with him.

AT THE GARRIOK.

More than the usual interest CEN
ters about the Wilmington Players
production this week. The com
pany is producing the long-promis-
ed Way Down East"
This attraction was chosen by the
theatregoers of Wilmington as one
favored for production but the warm
weather was not conducive TO It's
presentation because of the great
Inconvenience II would cause the
players. But now since the cool
weather seems here to stay for a
while at least. they have felt safe
in going ahead and will produce It
this week.

PORT BUSINESS
ON THE INCREASE
Local Merchants, Manufac-
turers Again importing
Much Goods
TRADE HEAVY
PREVIOUS TO WAR

Local merchants and manufactur-
ers are importing goods to a larger
extent than any period since the
war. according TO Daniel B. Jones,
deputy collector OF customs for Will
minston. which is a branch OF the
port OF Philadelphia
Collections on dutiable imports
for the fiscal year ending June so.
1922. were s15.sss.45 and for 1920.
s10,0s1.54. Since June last the
monthly averages indicate that the
total FOR tho present fscal year OF
1928 viii be from $4,000 70 ss5,-
600.
Local merchants and manufacture
ers are now importing goods TO a
greater extent than any period since
the war. the collector says, but on
no such large scale as 20 years ago.
The concerns taking advantage OF
Foreign markets, the collector says
are mostly new companies. Among
abe articles, all dutiable, that figure
in the import list. are according TO
reports. hosiery, toys and novelties.
golf Jackets. mufflers and similar
goods.
Export business through the Port
OF Wilmington is small, according 20
authorities. who say that most OF
the foreign shipments are made
through Philadelphia and New York.
Boats from Norfolk, and the above
mentioned cities stop here, however,
and take on cargo, but the vessels
are cleared in the larger cities.
During the war OF course the Port
OF Wilmington registered enormous
expectations. One cargo, mostly mu
nitions. carried s9,000,o 900 worth of
supplies for the war area. During
the war more than $3.50. 200. 900 in
materials left this port.
Deep Water Point, now a part OF
the Philadelphia District, but during
the war, connected with the Port Of
Wilmington receives cargo of Pc
troleum once a month and for this
reason the local custom authorities
are anxious that Wilmington should
reclaim the pier. The pier was built
