The First Year" No comedy of re-
cent years has achieved the popu-
iarity OF this unpretentious little
piece OF Frank Craven's, as its run of
two solid years in New York attests.
II Is one of the very few plays that
will bear witnessing again and again,
for its humor seems always as fresh
and it's laughter as spontaneous as
upon it's first representation. The
First Year" is a play about you and
your wife. or about the grown-up boy
and girl around the corner, and il is
difficult 10 imagine the possibility OF
more laughs being crowded into three
acts than Frank Craven has put into
this highly amusing comedy. The en-

Mae Murray in
Peacock Alley
Is Here Monday


A tiny Norman village stands at
Forest Hills, Long Island. It was
built for Mae Murray's first indie
pendent production, Peacock Alley
a Metro release presented by Robert
z. Leonard, at the Grand Monday and
Tuesday. Houses Stimulating the old
peasant buildings in northwestern
France were erected along road
which crosses small stream. 1t
was necessary to cut road through
hill, pave the road and erect a
small bridge for this location.
peacock Alley" concerns the adj
ventures of French girl who leaves
her home in Normandy and becomes
sensational success in Paris as a
dancer. The photo-drama is by Ed

Ouida Bergere. Robert 2. Leonard

Committees Ready
to Sell Tickets
for Chautauqua

Reports from different ward COM
mittees, which came to the president
of the Woman's club, indicates that
great enthusiasm is being displayed
by the different ward chairmen in
organizing their committees for the
purpose of conducting the sale of the
chautauqua tickets in their respec-
tive wards.
Mr.. Stallings stated that there is
friendly rivalry in seeing which ward
will purchase the most tickets.
Mrs. Stallings said: 81 feel great
sell 800 tickets before the opening Of
the chautauqua on April 5. l might
state further that know of no ed
vocational or entertaining program
that means more or is more lasting
to a community than that furnished
by the chautauqua. Palatka did fine
last year and believe it will do bet
ter this year"
These entertainments cost less per
number than is paid for the cheapest
show tickets in large city. Adults
So for ten features, or 80 cents for
each entertainment. 1t is therefore
to the interest of each family to buy
tickets for themselves and children
in order that they may receive full
benefit of this chautauqua which
only comes once year. The talent
is of the highest and most proficient
type, and if they were provided for
a single nights performance, the
tickets for each attraction would cost
the individual from 81 to $3.50.
