You must have the unfailinG sup

Practically all women's clubs Of
the city and more than 700 citizens

One hundred years ago the old

Interesting History.
Those who knew this house as the
most exclusive meeting place during
the first forty years OF social life In
Washington probably never dreamed
that a benefit recital ever would be
given for the people living there.
1t was built in 1920 by c.. 6. Gram
mer. who came to Washington in
1907, and was the president of the
old Patriotic Bank and the Franklin
Fire Insurance Company.
John Quincy Adams rented the
house from Mr.. Grammer's son
law, Gen. William II. Wherry. Later
the house was occupied by Secretary
of the Navy Toucy. OF President
Buchanan's Cabinet.

Mrs. Champe b. Thornton, daugh-

her young mothers death. She now
is honorary president of the home.
Her daughter. Mrs Leland Stanford

The home is known by tho family
of the late Francis \. IutZ, who
bought the property more than forty
years ago as a residence.
RedediCated TO God.
It is interesting to note that the
Rev Julian &. Grammer. the late
rector OF St. Peters Church, BalN-

day. found the house vacant. KnC"l-
ing at the old fireside he prayed
that ne might some day dedicate the

In many instances well-meaning

value to the authorities in running

The location Of a revolver. a knife
or a razor at a murder scene may
not be of much significance to the
average layman, but the men trained
in the investigation OF crime often
attach great importance to 1t. For

Fairgrounds is always first in the
minds of those who seek clean,
wholesome amusement while at the
same time enjoying the delight Of a
day in the open. The great swim

joyment of the invigorating dip, its
wonder slide, its diving platform, its
springboards, and it's hundred and
one conveniences is of course the
rendezvous for the daily throngs who
go in for water sports. The conces-
sions running all the time add ma
terially to the fun of day at River
side. The restaurant is another
great convenience. The manage
ment of the "eats" place specializes
in the very finest obtainable. and at
very moderate prices. The refresh
ment service is unexceiled anywhere.
The wonder ballroom with its fairy
land of decorations always has been
the favored dancing place. Carol
Reeds wonder band is on hand every
night to inspire the light fantastic.
No finer musical aggregation has
ever played local dances. The new
music is rapidly becoming the talk
Of the entire city, and it has posi-
lively captivated the discriminating
dancers. So why not q day at River

incidentally a production which has

sive picture, and Griffith has treated
it in most comprehensive manner.
The types which comprise the cast
are exceptionally accurate. The at
mosphere of the New England coun-
try, way down East" has been
faithfully maintained, and the central
idea of the story, the drama of a
womanS soul, has been always kept
well in the foreground so that there
is no deviation from the intent Of
the story. even though in instances
the widest departure is made for the
presentation of very wholesome COM
edy. These sideplays serve two pur-
poses-to relieve the tension of the
mighty drama, and again to develop
the environment in which Lottie Blair

seen on a local screen. The effect on
the audience is tremendous The
great blizzard scene is screened
through clever effects staged by the
RiaIto, and the very ultra in vivid
ness is re,.ched and maintained
through the most compelling scene
ever screened. Way Down East is
indeed a classic, and the Rialto is
bound to be crowded with those who
would take this last advantage today
of the opportunity for witnessing the
crowning achievement of the career
of d. W. Griffith, presented for the

a very appealing story, the ultimate

threatens to bankrupt him. The time
