"THE FIRST YEAR"

John Golden, sponsor for ''The First
Year" described as a comic-tragedy
of married life-the play scheduled fol
its first presentation in Frederick at
the City Opera House next Monday
night, November 10, is evidently q
firm believer in the spirit of clean ser
vice, for in the widely heralded COM
edy composition, "The First Year," OF
which Frank Craven is the author
there is the same absence Of a Earring
note, the identical high respect fol
refinement which made the tremen-
dous success of "Lightnin' (that 9TH
er Golden stage marveD possible.
For two years "The First Year" ran
along in New York, admired and eN-
tolled beyond measure by audiences
that filled the theatre to overlooking
and kept the newspaper critics busy
trying to find adjectives superlative
enough to do justice to such wholly
deserving play. Not only does the play
command general reverence, but COM
pliments galore are showered upon
Mr. Golden for having chosen a thor
oughly efficient cast-a feature which
always had his best consideration in
all other companies he has organized.

MACBETH

The entertainment given by Mrs. P.

Crystal Theatre, Friday night was an
unusual success. Her comedies were
a scream from beginning to end, every

applauded. Her Interpretation of

of manner, richly cultivated voice,
splendid representations of all the diff

versatility-all gave adequate express

To Prevent Foot Trouble.

One of the supremely important
points to be remembered in shoe 1T
ting Is that the foot must be meas
ured from the heel to the ball Of the
foot, and not to the end of the great
toe. Meeting the former measure
ment will bring the ball of the foot
Into the widest part Of the shoe, where
1t belongs. Shoes thus fitted will
usually be Of longer but a narrower
last than those previously worn. but
will be far more gracefully worn
than a shorter, wider one. This rule
remembered will eliminate a vast deal
Of foot misery.

THIEF MAKES RAID

Last Saturday night at some hour
not known to the family, some person
or persons entered the home of Mr..
and Mrs. r. A. Tyson on E. Main ST.,
and took from the pantry about three
dozen of eggs, pound of coffee, a
pound of sugar and bottle of milk.
The pan i'm which the eggs were kept
the sugar sack and the milk were left
in the yard in the rear of the house.
Entrance was made by cutting away
the wire on the screen door on the
porch and loosening the hook, thence
via the window into the kitchen.
Discovery of the robbery was not
made until Sunday morning when cof-
fee was wanted for breakfast.
Mrs. Tyson and her daughter, Fran
ces, and the housemaid were at home
during the entire evening.
At the home of the Misses Powell
on Lombard Street some one cut the
wire on the screen door at the rear
porch last Saturday evening. Some
bananas and milk were taken.
About two weeks ago the cellar at
the home of Mr.. l.. r. Waesche was
entered on Saturday night. Two
crooks of cream and a crock of milk
were carried to the yard. The cream
was sour and was left in the crooks.
So far as known nothing else was dis
turbed.
According to reports it would ap-
pear as though someone or gang of
youngsters were hungry. Be on the
lookout for similar depredations as
the winter approaches.

Dempsey Lined Up
for Three Bouts
Kearns Announces Condition.
al Acceptance Of Offer Of
Theatrical Producer.

Memphis. Tenn, Noy.25. Jack
Dempsey, worlds champion heavy.
weight who. with his manager, Jack
kearns, Is now playing ct a local
theater, announced today the condi.
tional acceptance Of an offer that
practically assures the champion be.
ing seen In the arena early next
summer.
Manager kearns announced that
he had tentatively accepted an offer
by Al II. Woods. theatrical producer
OF New York OF si,00O,0o0 for the
services OF Dempsey in three contests.
The offer, kearns stated, was made
after several long distance telephone
conversations between here and New
York this week.
The only apparent hitch in the
agreement is the "diyvy" OF the
money that would derive from the
moving picture rights. Minor de-
tails only were given out by Kearns.
According to Kearns. it Is practi.
cally a certainty that the champion s
first appearance In the triple header
will be a mixed affair with Stranger
Lewis, wrestler.
Kearns limited that Harry Wills,
the brown Panther" and Joe Beckett,
the, Englishman had been mentioned
as likely opponents.
The contract so far is only verbal
but Kearns stated that he felt sure
1t would go through.
Dempsey's contract with the Pan
tages circuit has three more weeks to
run.
