Lakewood Theatre Next Week,
"Smo0th as SIN"

silk" was n clever criminal, but
like most criminals, clever as they
may be, he had been caught and was
doing his bit when powerful influ-
ence decided they could use him to
their own nefarious ends on the out
side. Therefore, he was permit
ted to make his escape. This Is the
start of the great Willard Mack melo-
drama that is to he the offering ex-
traordinary of the Lakewood Players
at the theatre all next week, play
that was one OF the most sensational
successes that New York has had in
many theatrical seasons.
For years 1t has been admitted that
Willard Mack, author OF the play, is
one OF the master writer's OF drama. .
His is the ability to weave into his
story a wealth of human interest;
those tense moments that bring a
lump into your throat and tear to
your eye; and eleverly balanced both
with the infectious comedy that send
genuine laughter ripping and roar
ing through the audience. In Smooth
as Silk" he has employed his talents
as never before with the result that
the play stands as a masterpiece in
its class.
The action of the drama moves
about a crook who has been allowed to
escape from prison in order that poll
ticians may use his skill as safe
breaker to secure certain documents
that are essential to their political
security. The complications, mar
row escapes and thrilling situations
in which silk finds himself; his final
reformation, and the manner in which
he deals with these people to whom
he has been nothing but pawn form
the story of this absorbing play.
New York critics. at the time of its
original production at the Lexington
Theatre hailed ii as one of the most
remarkable stage offerings that had
been presented in years.

CHURCH FOR CHILDREN
Only Adult Present Is Preacher in
Charge of the Services.

A junior church, the membership
of which is limi,ed 10 persons be-
tween six and sixteen years of age,
with the preacher the only adult pres
ent, is being successfully operated In
Indianapolis. The plan was inaugu-
rated by the Rev. n. s. Sichterman
in Grace Presbyterian church.
According to Doctor Sichterman,
there are 90 children Who are mem
bers of the junior organization They
have their W room for services,
which are of 80 minutes duration, and
have their own officers. The plan
was put in operation in January and
Doctor Sichterman is so pleased with
the results that he expects 0 to
double the membership.
Doctor Sichterman said the idea of
forming a junior church developed
from his experience in church while
a boy, when sermons sometimes last
ed two hours or more. | will remem-
