terday. Having about exhausted
the exciting possibilities OF the
land and the sea, Sennett sent
his principals into the clouds In
an airplane for the supreme thrill
OF "Molly-O." The result Is
precisely that--a supreme thrill.
The story unreeled in "Molly.O"

from obscurity in the slums to

Miss Constance a
Lovely Ming Toy

"OLLOWING in the wake of

ton, with Fay BANTER. which ap-
peared here a few months ago,

Eileen Wilson, in one Of our local

In screen form, makes a timely
entrance.
Whether 1t is the appeal Of
this celebrated success or the
popularity Of Constance Talmadge,
or perhaps because 1t was adapted
by Marion Fairfax and directed
by Sidney A. Frankiin--anyway,
II made q decided hit with the
large audiences that crowded the
Metropolitan yesterday.
We will not attempt a COM
parison of the picture version
with the legitimate production.
The moving picture and the stage
are two distinct modes of express
sion, employing different methods
and effects.
Probably some, who have seen
and been enthralled with Miss
Bainter's fine work in this role,
win find it a bit difficult to ad-
lust themselves to Miss Tai
madge's Interpretation. Connie
has developed an individuality OF
her own, and has not sacrificed
il in this picture. Certainly, she
has given US q fresh ana original
conception Of the character, Ming
Toy, which 10 sparkling In It's

peared so bewitchingly pretty; and
many will agree that this Is the
finest piece Of work Of her career
undoubtedly. 1t is the best vs.-
hicle she has ever been provioeu
with.
A word might be said for the
other members of the cast who
contribute much to the artistry OF
the production, most notable OF
which are Warner GLAND, who
plays Charley Yong; Nigel Barrie.

other popular screen players which

Here's the Truth
About Salaries

IN Camera. a motion picture
magazine, Ted Taylor. who
was formerly press agent for
the late William Desmond Tay-
lor, has the following to say:
Million dollar salaries!
There was only one person
in California whose, income ex-
ceeded $1.000,000 last year, and
that person was not connected
with the motion pictures. The
next most prosperous person
received something like $780,
900. and the third, about $400.-
900. A dozen or so exceeded
100000 a year income.
Yet California is the resi-
dence of Chaplin and Fair
banks and Mary Pickford and
Nazimova. OF Charles Ray
and Cecil DeMille, and Harold
Lloyd. OF their salaries fabu-
lous sums are mouthed.
But they couldn't all be the
100000 person.

State Club Leader A. d. Cobb which
will be of particular interest to hundreds
of boys and girls in the rural sec ions
of the state who are members of var
ious clubs organized during the past few
years under Mr.. Cobb's department.
The announcement is that the Junior
Farmers Short Course will be held dur
ing the coming summer instead of at
the Christmas Holidays as had been the
custom since the plan was inaueurated.'
The time will be August z to ID inclu-
sive.
While the three previous courses
have been great success it is felt by
MIR. Cobb and his assistants that more
real benefit can be secured for the
young Farmers who attended them by
giving the course during the summer.
Last Christmas nearly one hundred
members of boys and girls clubs from
all sections of the state attended and it
is expe cted that this number will be
exceeded in August. Those taking the
course will as usual have the benefit OF
the University equipment.

Delaware Fruit Safe

Delaware fruit crops are safe from
any damage as the result of any frost
at this time.
According to Professor C. A. McCue,
of the University of Delaware Expert.
mental Farm, the fruit crops have not
progressed far enough to be affected by
frost. He attributed this to the fact
that the budding has been somewhat re-
tarded this season by the cool weather
which the state has experienced.
Professor McCue said that only a
very severe frost could hurt the crops.
This is particularly true of the two
upper counties, he said, adding that in
Sussex the budding was a little further
advanced. Even in the lower county,
he said, only severe frost would have
any affect.
The conditions this year, he said, are
far different from those existing last
year when late frost, suddenly break
ing into almost summer-like weather,
caused damage estimated at over d
million dollars.
