AT THE BROAD

Coming to the Broad Wednesday
and Thursday, February 18th and 8th,
is "The Masqueraders,' which is con-
sidered the best dramatic production
filmed so far. There is dignity and
polish in it that makes it a leader IN
this class of entertainment.
Images of strong and weak man
hood are brought out. Guy Bates
past proves himself to be a brilliant
actor by his differentiation of the
dual roles in which his accomplish
ment is supreme. He scores a great
screen debut surrounded by a produc-
ton of the very finest quality and by
a sterling supporting cast. The domi-
mating feature of this play is his re
markable performance with a wealth
of detail and with realistic settings of
a great variety in surroundings. One
canot afford to miss this picture, as
one NAV never see the like.
For the benefit of our many patrons,
commencing this Saturday, we shall
run two shows, one at 6.45, and one
al 9.15, thus, to give all a chance to
see our four acts Of supreme vaude-
vile.

OLD TEACHER SURPRISED

A delightful, yet q sympathetic
surprise party was rendered Mrs.
Josiah Smith, on Monday night, by
her former Sunday School class Of
u boys, at her home, on South Broad
Street. Mrs. Smith, who has been a
teacher in Emmanuel NJ. +. Church
for a long number Of years, had to
give up her class on account of fail
ing health and was succeeded by Mrs:
Wilmer Shinn, Jr., who accompanied
the class on the party, The boys
played games and told their old
teacher how much they hated to see
her give up. Mrs Smith told them
and their new teacher how good they
had always been and requested them
to accord the same reverence and at
tention to their new teacher and they
would grow up to be fine young men
as many had already done.
As a token of their appreciation
Clinton Justice presented to Mrs
Smith in behalf of the class, a beauti
full Friendship" pin.
Mrs. Shinn assisted Mrs. Smith II

halves.
The Service-Engineers and Penns
Grove game was close and exciting
and gave those leaders Of the league
their second defeat, which a GER
tainly a surprise. The final 0 was
10 to y.
All the field goals thrown for the
Engineers were done by George Dol
bow while Wright and Lyons each
made two foul goals. Scoring was low
by both teams, for it was close guard
ing that was being done.
Boyd Smith began the scoring by
throwing a foul, but the S. & f. five
then led thru the first half, which end
ed 9 to ,. In the second half Frank
Straughn replaced Boyd Smith and
equalled Edgar Holton in field goals,
altho the latter threw two fouls. The
Penns Grove men played better and
better as the game went on and in
the last two minutes showed form in
team work that was second only to
the Labs. The score for the second
half was 10 to 3 in favor Of Penns

Senator Nelson (Rep.) Deplores Fail
ure to Enter League of Nations

ure to Enter League of Nations
Senator, Nelson, of Minnesota, one
of the three oldest members of the
Senate, chairman of the important
Judiciary Committee, and representa-
tive of a strong Republican State,
speaking of what he regarded as a
change of view on the part of certain
political leaders, made the following
comment in the Senate:
81 have been surprised at the atti-
tude assumed by certain statesmen
lately. Two years ago it was con-
sidered a dangerous matter to have
anything to do with Europe. The
phrase, ~'entangling alliances" was
heard on all sides, and it was thought
to be a most dangerous thing to have
anything to do with the affairs of
Europe in any shape or amer.
Lately we have found men on the
floor most strenuous in the advocacy
of our going into Europe. The Sena-
tor from Idaho (Mr. Borah) and the
Senator from Arkansas (Mr. Robin
SOM want us to participate in recon
structing Europe.
Il may be a hereto, but | have al
ways believed that it was the greatest
mistake, economically and in every
other way, for America not to enter
the League of Nations, with one or
two amendments of the covenant. If
we had become a part of the League
of Nations, we would have stabilized
conditions oven there. Political con-
ditions must be stabilized before eco
nomic conditions can be stabilized,
and l am satisfied in my own mind,
though may be called a hereto, that
II we had entered into the League of
Nations and accepted the Treaty of
Versailles, instead of trying to sneak
under it by piecemeal, as some of us
have been doing lately, conditions
would have been far better in Europe
than they are today.
There were some features of the
League of Nations of which | did not
approve; but we could have elimi-
mated them. In its main features.
however, it would have acted upon
the conditions of Europe just as u
little army today on the Rhine acts
upon the foreign soldiers. 1t would
have stabilized conditions there. and
the economic difficulty under which
Europe is suffering today would have
been far less than it is now.
al! the people of Europe look to
America AS a result of the war a
large share of the money of the world
came to this country; we were the
strong, the rich country, and we at
tanned such a position in the war that
a we beer a member of the League
OF Nations, If Uncle Sam had shaken

ADVICE would have been taken, ard

direction of Charles Remsburg, the
new leader of the choir for Sunday
evenings and special occasions. Three
choral numbers were given, entitled
cover the Hills at Break of Day

very well done and the audience en-
loved them admirably.
Galloway's "Gypsy Trail" was given
by a mixed quartet composed of Mrs.
Elmer Scott, soprano; Miss Emma
Simkins, contralto; Charles Sparks,
tenor, and Gordon Jackson, baritone.
This, too, was very well done. Mrs,
Harry Foulke accompanied all these
vocal selections.
Richard Kent played a violin solo,
Weber's Last Thought" and respond
ed with a short Moore. The accom-
paniments for these two numbers
were well played by Charles Sparks.
All these musical selections deserve
considerable praise for the masterful
way in which they were given, Attic
the singers had but two rehearsals
with thier new director.

Not Charity To Help Those Able IL
Work

In last weeks issue an error was
made in stating that $4,000 was
spent to help the poor. 1t should have
been $500.
1t is a commendable act for the
Woman's Club to endeavor to help
get help for those who need it and
employment for those who need
money.
There are reasons to believe charity
has become too easy to get the tax
e hard-earned money, when fore
sight and endeavors to earn might
have supplied the needs. If any one
wants to put the blame for bringing
attention to the public, the editor is
able to bear it.
The women have no desire to hurt
the feelings of an ant about which

The Laboratories defeated the Ne
chanics last evening Thursday by a
rather one-sided score which in one way
shows the very closely contested
game. The final score was Al to 3.
At the start, the Mechanics led off
in scoring, but in a short time the
Labs five, by that fine playing which
is generally considered the best in the
league, kept the ball iu their control
Just that sufficient margin to give
victory. The Mechanics played hard
and surely deserved a far closer score.
Patterson, Boyce and Brooks all made
numerous throws at the goal but most
every time the ball seemed to slowly
roll around the rim and fall out in
stead of in. If any one ever believed
in JinX of defeat controlling the ball
the evidence was there in plenty.
The three points made by the Me
chanics were foul goals thrown by
Mercer, Patterson and Brooks. The
scoring for Labs was by all except
Gal" Altwegg, and George Meyer
was the %'phenom" of them all. He
could about make one believe he could
throw baskets with his eyes shut. As
for CAP Altwegg, he had plenty as
signed to him to play opposite Joseph
Patterson, which is the most one
could get to do in any game.

Patterson had to play for two weeks
