POWERFUL PHOTO PLAY
SEEN HERE NEXT WEEK
mighty LAX A Rose'' With Superb
Cast To Be Shown AT The
Empire Theatre

A gang of successful, desperate
crooks tried to steal the heart Of a
young and innocent girl violinist,
turn her into a crook and use her in
their big schemes. But the girl, with
nothing but her sweetness and the
music Of her violin, turned these
crooks, male and female, into paths
they did not want to go. This, in
brief, is the story that Edwin Carewe
has turned into a powerful picture,
Mighty LAX Rose" that is coming
to the Empire Theatre next Wednes-
day and Thursday, November % and
10Th.
In the cast are Dorothy Mackaill,
James Rennie, Helene Montrose, Sam
Hardy, Anders Randolf, Paul Panzer,
Harry Short and about a hundred
others in crook and society charac-
ters.
Director Carewe believes music
plays a big part in this life and he
averse, too, that it should play big
ger part. In this play he has gone
into the underworld to demonstrate
how good music, combined with a
good soul, can be the great uplifter.
He is said to have made fascinating
picture.

Pocomoke City played the Sails
bury team yesterday in an elimination
contest to decide the championship Of
the Eastern Shore; details Of this
game will be given nextweek.
Much of the success Of the team is
due to "Chief" Whitman, who seems
to be able to whip most any sort of
material at hand at the beginning into
a winning combination before the end
of the season.
On the result of the seasons work
Salisbury looks a little stronger than
Pocomoke. Judging from the ease
with which the Wicomico boys dis
posed Of Crisfeld, with which team
Pocomoke had a world Of trouble, the
home boys will have to strike swift
ter gate to down their neighbors. But
the local lads are game, and many
think they will bring home the bacon.

Wants Drastic Oyster
LaU For Maryland

"Many seed oysters which ought to

out of the State" Mr.. Vickers said.
Maryland, with only 5000 acres of
leased bottom, is not planting State,
as Virginia, Delaware and New Jer-
sey are, and if the catch is limited to
supplying the home demand there will
not be any inducement for either
tongers or dredgers to work on seed.

but I would be glad to receive sug-
gestions from practical men thruout

REVIVAL MEETINGS AT

Out Of Town Ministers Assist Pas
tor. Public Cordially Invited
To These Meetings

Interesting meetings areN in pro-
gress at the Presbyterian Church, this
city, They are being conducted by
the pastor, assisted by Rev. Charles
Friend, Of Hampton, Va, and Rev.
Mr.. Zimmerman, pastor Of the M. E.
Church at Stockton, Md.
These meetings are for the purpose
of arousing an interest in church and
religion, and they are an appeal to
the solid thinking powers of the peo-
pie and not alone to their emotional
natures.
The effort is to bring men and
women to calm realization of their
spir. .tual needs, and then to a deter.
mination to direct their ways of liv.
ing into the paths worn for them by
the feet Of the lowly Nazarene.
Such efforts put forth by those
whose duty it is to lead people te
Christ, are worthy of praise ant
should meet with the results they de-
serve.
The public is cordially invited tt
go listen to plain convincing talks
and listen to some sweet singers o.
Israel.

ROTARY MEET
IN POCOMOKE
Large Outpouring OF Rotarians
From Peninsula Towns Expected
Here Friday, December 2
NEW WOOLWORTH STORE
TO OPEN ON THAT DAY

Friday, December Z, is expected to
bring to Pocomoke City large dele
cation Of Rotarians to attend an in
ter-city meeting called by the local
Rotary Organization.
Representatives from all the clubs
on the Peninsula, including Delaware.
are expected to be present and about
$50 probably will attend.
The local body has arranged this
meeting so as to time it with the
opening of the Woolworth Company's
business and the throwing open of
the handsome building when this firm
will begin operations as Pocomoke,
merchants.
\ Rotarians have a paternal interest
in the initiation Of the Woolworth
people into Pocomoke's business life.
1t was mainly through the efforts of
the club that this chain system was.
induced to establish branch in this
city. The proprietors seldom start
business in a town Of less than 5000
people; but they were so impressed
by the evident desire Of Pocomoke's
business men for a Woolworth store,
backed by ceaseless effort to get
one, they made an exception Of POGO
moke and they are here now to test
what they have been led to believe is
a good place for one Of their stores.
The general opinion is they will not
only do business themselves, but win
attract trade to the town.
Mr.. Funk, representative Of the
Woolworth people, who has been on
the ground looking over stock and
preparing for the opening, was a
guest Of the Rotary Club at its weekly
luncheon last Monday, and gave them
an invitation to attend the opening
on December Z, where some special
entertainment for all will be pre-
pared.
The club had also as guests Revs.
Lacy and Friend, the latter assisting
Mr.. Lacey in his special religious
service at the Presbyterian Church.
