No Seats i'm Film Show,
He Arrests ? Attaches

Elmer L'Hommendieu, manager Of the
New Broad Company motion picture
theater at Broadway and Eighty-third
Street, and Harry Meek, doorman at
the theater, were held in $500 each for
examination Monday by Magistrate
Renaud in Mems Night Court last
night on charges of disorderly con-
duct. The complainant was Sergeant
William Delaney, attached to the
Rockaway Beach police station.
Delaney went to the theater last
night in civilian clothing, accompanied
by his young son. He bought balcony
tickets, he said, but found there were
no seats. He saw the manager about
it, He told the court that he was
pushed out of the theater by the door
man and thought the doorman should
be arrested. LHommedieu had a
charge preferred against him by De
laney in Night Court when he appeared
for the arraignment of Meek.
L'Hommedieu did not testify, but is
said to have declared that Delaney be-
came boisterous in the theater. The
manager said that when he called 3
policeman with view to having De-
Ianey arrested, Delaney suddenly re
vealed himself to be a policeman and
said that he didn't intend to be ar
rested, but was going to arrest some
body. He then departed with Meek.

TO MISS MITT DELBRIDGE.
Tribute To Beloved Woman Paid By
A Friend.

Very many hearts are sad today,
and shadow rest over all, though
the sun is shining, and all nature is
clothed in the gayety and beauty OF
the season.
One has gone, and many loved her,
and mourn.
The passing of Miss Mitt Delbridge
to the Great Beyond" has left void
never to be filled.
In her little home town where as
an idolized child, she spent a beauti-
full girlhood, and as daughter and
sister, admired and loved by all who
knew her, there is no one to take
her place.
Her beauty and gracious presence
radiate joyous loneliness, passing
that of all others and her departure
makes her loss a personal one in a
very wide circle.
That at is we'll with her." our sor-
rowing hearts we'll know, but alas!
the bitterness of parting and the
loneliness without her beauteous and
sunny presence.
There's garden of light full of
Heavens perfume,
Where never a tear drop is shed,
And the rose and the lily are ever
in bloom,
IT'S the land of the beautiful
dead.
A Friend.
