Strand Attraction

The work of bringing the MASTER
pieces of the stage within reach OF
every home, into communities never
reached by stage performances. has
another striking contribution in the
translation to the world of the screen
of the famous stage play, Peg o.
My Heart" in which Laurette Tay-
Tor made her memorable character
ization of Peg which has become
worldwide in fame.
Peg O. My Heart now a Metro
picture, with Laurette Taylor ap-
pearing in her famous role, comes to
the Strand theatre for three days be-
ginning Thursday. This fascinating
tale of j. Hartley Manners concep-
ton, with ireland and England as
the background. and the elfin ways
and humors and pathos Of the mo-
therless little girl providing the main
theme, has had 6,608 stage perfor-
in the United States. Lau-
rette Taylor created the role and
has been identified with 1t ever since
even being known as Peg Taylor.
It's a tale of an Irish father and
an English mother, of the Chiches-
tiers and K~ingsworths, and of Sir
Gerald Adair, Pegs legal guardian;
and of the circumstances, amusing
as well as heart-stirring, that attend
the young girl when she leaves the
little Irish farm house where she
was born and ventures among stran-
gers to whom good form is the car
dinal requirement.

NEW BRIDGE
MOVE IS MADE
Raritan Waterway Associa-
ton to Confer Friday Night
on New Span

Russell L. Watson. president of the
Raritan Terminal and Waterways
Association. has called a meeting
of the officers and directors of the
association to be held at the Board
of Trade rooms, National Bank OF
New Jersey Building. New Bruins
wick, Friday night May 4. 1923 at
eight o'clock. The meeting will be
held to consider the type of draw
for the new bridge to spar the Rari-
tan River between Perth Amboy and
South Amboy.
1t is understood that the present
plans cover a draw bridge of the
swinging type with two openings OF
LAO feet in the clear on each side of
a center pier. While this may be
sufficient for the commerce of the
river at this time it is believed that
the openings of 140 feet will not be
adequate for traffic with the devel-
opment of the river that may come
with larger industrial plants along
its banks.
There are two types OF draw
which, il utilized, would do away
with the center pier and give $50
feet in the clear. The basoule or
vertical lift type OF draw are now
being used in many bridges of mod
ern construction. They both elm
mate the pier in the center of the
opening, and this is a saving in cost,
since it means a considerable expen-
diture to put down a pier properly.
1t has been a~scertained that the
new type of draw is more economical
in every respect. Besides, it can be
handled with greater speed. and the
delay for traffic is therefore reduced
materially. The pier in the center of
the opening always will prove a
menacs to navigation. The best OF
bridge builders will admit this fact,
because it cannot be controverted.
The bascule or lift type of draw
bridge has been tested on water
ways where the traffic is heavy, and
in every instance it has stood the
fest and proved to be far superior to
the old swinging type. which modern
engineers regard now as being OBJ
solete.
The directors of the association
will consider the matter, and prob
ably take some action endorsing the
use of the wv tyne of draw. Then, |
possibly, some effort will be made
induce the State Highway Com
mission to consider the building of
the new type of draw as a matter of
economy and safety to the traffic in
The river, and for the best interests
the section of the State.
