sMYRNA"MOvIEs" CONSOLIDATE
Mark McManus Leases The Palace
Theatre and Will Soon Reopen

The Palace Theatre, built and Oper-
ated by Horace David, will on Monday
July 10th, change management. Mark
McManus who for ten years has been
operating the Smyrna Opera House
has leased the Palace Theatre from
the Nixon interests, first secured by
George Swartz of Dover, and last
week turned over to Mr.. McManus
without profit to Mr.. Swartz or the
Nixon people. Mr.. McManus purch-
ases the projecting machines and full
equipment and will reopen theatre af-
ter Improvements are made, the week
of July 80, the opening date to be an
nOunced next week At that time the
two moving picture houses of Smyrna
will consolidate and only one theatre
in the future will be operated. After
fifteen months trial it has been dem
Onstrated that only one good moving
picture house will pay in Smyrna and
by consolidating it will mean better
pictures and better service throughout.
Plumbers are now fitting up the new
Ladies Rest Room with sanitary ap-
pliances including a drinking foun-
tain and painters are now giving the
front a fresh coat of paint. Later
steam heat and storm doors will be
installed. Under the management of
Mr.. McManus The Palace Theatre is
assured the highest grade pictures and
good order will prevail.

COPPER COMPANY LOOKING UP
More Than 1000 Stockholders at Meet
ing in Wilmington Get Encourage
ment From Officers of COMPANY

ment From Officers of Company
More than a thousand stockholders
OF the Central Copper Company, in
cluding quite a contingent from Smyr-
ma, listened to officials of the com
pany reply to the attacks made upon
the personnel and financial condition
of the concern Friday night in the
New Century Club, Delaware avenue
and Jackson streets, Wilmington. The
investors of the company were assur-
ed Of the stability of the concern by
its vice-president, treasurer, sales
manager, and resident mining engin-
eer. Recently there appeared in this
paper reprint from another paper, a
story entitled, Copper Quiz Ends
Abruptly" which had to do with a
meeting held at the Bellevue-Strat-
ford, Philadelphia. 1t now appears
that while someone, as a joke, did
turn off the lights, the President, Sec
retary and treasurer did not leave by
the rear entrance but stayed and an
swered questions. 1t is refreshing to
note that at the meeting in Whining
ton, Friday night, every man who
spoke glorifed the philanthropy and
kind deeds of T. N. McCauley, presi-
dent of Central Copper Company.
George L. Ramsay, treasurer, in dis
cussing the philanthropic works of the
president pointed out that he was
serving without salary and giving the
people the opportunity to make money.
In further protection of the name of
President McCauley and that of Vice
president Stevenson, Mr.. Ramsay de-
clared that he would openly fight any
man who would say anything detri-
mental to their characters or integri-
ties. John w. Prout, mining engineer
for the company, told of the condi-
tiOns at the mine. He declared that in
one place, much to the amazement of
the engineers, from $40 to $50 had
been realized from the gold found
with the copper.

FOURTH OF JULY" IN SMYRNA
Rain Interfered With Outing, But At

Rain lnterfered With Outing, But At
Night Clouds Lifted and Gave Crowd
of 5000 Opportunity to see Display
The Fourth passed off quietly in
Smyrna, the greater portion of the
day being rainy and inclement. A
number of picnic and motor parties
had been arranged, some of which
were carried out and others postponed.
The hOme-cOmers were about as usual
though it was not marked by any ap-
preciable degree. The Fourth as
holiday is nothing like Thanksgiving
and Christmas to draw folks home.
There was no Country Fair" this
year but in the evening a crowd of ap-
proximately 5000 people came to
Smyrna from all directions to witness
the fireworks display from the new
High School Athletic Field. The
working up of this patriotic affair was
due to the efforts of J. E. Hoffecker
and Harry P. Jones, who appreciated
the generous response made and the
effort of all in making the event
drawing card. The rain and threat
ening skies had prevented doing much
preliminary work in getting the set
pieces and other pyrotecnics in place.
Time had to be consumed during the
display to get these ready. Those
who waited saw the skies illuminated
with the explosives and considering
the amount of money put in the day
light and night display it was credit
able. Fireworks, it must be under
stood, runs into money and $4,000
worth in comparison with a $500 or a
$1,000 display, such as is seen in larg-
er cities, must necessarily suffer by
comparison. However, in Smyrna, it
draws a crowd, gives something for
old and young to see, inspires patrio-
tism, and advertises our town. From
this standpoint it is a success and now
that it promises to be an annual af-
fair, let it become a better exhibit,
not only in quality but quantity.
Help Bring Smyrna Into Prominence
As one of our citizens said, all
these things help to make a live town.
Only recently there appeared in part
this fiattering little compliment about
/ Smyrna in the Baltimore Sun, Balti-
more, Md: "There are few places in
the East where American community
life has developed so rapidly during
the last decade as in Smyrna. Though
still wearing village clothes, as far as
population is considered, Smyrna has
made strides that rival the growth of
many places Of larger populations. So
far as paving goes, the town has a
showing of nearly 100 per cent The
people own all public utilities, and
these institutions are in the hands of
capable engineers, insuring service at
/ the lowest possible cost. A commodi-
Gus Federal building graces the cen
ter of the shopping district and resi-
dents take delight in exhibiting the
installation of the best fire-fghting
machinery to be found anywhere. The
machinery is all motorized and is
composed of one huge pumper and a
chemical engine. They are manned
by a volunteer company so well drilled
that a trial run showed remarkable
efficiency.

Erecting New School Building

"At present a splendid modern high
school building is in process of con-
struction. 1t will be equipped with
every modern convenience and when
opened will contain all departments of
manual training and domestic science,
together with other of the regular
provisions. Work has just been start
ed on an athletic field which will have
circular track, baseball diamond, grid
iron and tennis courts. Sufficient
money is in hand to make this new
plant one of the show places in the
State. The shopping district contains
complement of stores that carry a
surprisingly complete line of every
kind of merchandise, and the three
hotels are far beyond those usually
found in towns the size of smyrna"
Public Spirit Strong For Welfare
For several years Smyrna has sup
ported Country Fairs" Fourth of
July demonstrations, Chautauqua's
Lyceum Courses and the like and only
recently gave President Harding a
warmth of welcome as he passed thru
on his Delaware tour, that was char
acteristic of the hospitality of Smyr-
ma people. The secret of it all, con-
tinues the Baltimore Sun, "is prob
ably found in the fact that the usual
small town crouch is not tolerated.
When Smyrna people get ready to act
on a proposition with all the data that
can be had, they "yoke up" without
regard to creed, and "put it over"

NEW YORK, March 17.-After
early irregularity, in which the oil
stocks and some of lle industrials
sold at m :tionally lower price levels,
the stock market regained its com
posture and the upward swing in
prices was. resumed. The market
was not particularly active In any
section, and the volume of business
was smaller than on the two proceed
