Majestic Theatre

It is said that clothes make the
man, but according to the Para
mount picture Making q Man
which was presented at the MaJes-
tic theatre last evening there are
many other ways of making a man
and this particular way provides an
evening of splendid entertainment.
This splendid perturbation OF
Peter Il. Kyne's story "HumanizinS
Mr.. WHISKY" was warmly received.
Jack Holt is the star and he has all
all star supporting cast headed BY
Eva Novak and j. P. Lockney. A
revelation of the story would be I'M
fair to the reader. This drama hill
ed with laughs and tears alike has
a strong personal appeal. Briefly II
tells of the transformation of a null
ti-milliouaire snob by a young girl
on whose ranch he is about to fore
close a. mortgage that has just come
due. The mortgage is foreclosed and
the man is forced to flee TO the city
TO escape tho wrath Of his towns
people.
In New York i'll luck befalls him,
and he is forced to spend a night on
a park bench. Later the girl with
her father arrive in the city and de-
eide to teach him a lesson. They have
him discharged from his job as .
! waiter, and not until they really SEE
that he is a changed maj do they
relent. He wires to his home toWT
farm and, hoping for a differen'
| answer than the one previous. III
again proposes to the girl and j!
| accepted. They return to their home
town where the people turn out tC
a man.

SCALE HOUSE
MOVE PLANNED

The removal of the scale house
from the intersection of New Bruins
wick avenue, Fayette street and
Madison avenue is one OF the ques-
tions that will soon be taken up by
the aldermen, following out a sug-
gestion made by Alderman John L.
Sofield, that the scale house be NOV
ed to a new location and the site
now used for the building and scale
be reclaimed for street purposes. Mr..
Sofield has made this suggestion in
connection with the purchase of a
new scale by the city and holds that
the building should be moved before
the new scale. is set, in order to re-
lieve traffic congestion at that point.
With the removed of the scale
from the cent? of the street, arises
the question as to where it shall be
placed. 1t has been suggested that
the house be moved to the corner Of
New Brunswick avenue and Fayette
street, on a lot owned by the city
at that location. This is not held to
be a good idea however. as the lot
is looked upon as the future site of
a new police station.
1t is also possible that some time
in the future, the fire house uccu-
pied by the Lincoln Engine Com
pany and the Protection Hook and
Ladder Company in State street,
may be located on the lot in order
to give the high school additional
room.
The fact that the lot suggested
is held to be the proper location
for the police station and the fire
house, prohibits the scale from be-
ing located there. This has brought
forth another suggestion that scale |
be located on the corner adjoining |
the Pennsylvania freight station. |
This is private property. however, |
and the city would have to arrange |
for the locating of the scale at that
point. The general opinion seems
to be that if the scale is taken froal |
the center Of the street. it should
be moved to a spot nearby us
present site as it is about centerlv
located and readily reached from all
sections.
The matter will be thoroughly
gone into by the aldermen before /
the new scale is purchased and SCI,
as it is realized that the traffic on
New Brunswick avenue and F'ayetta |
street will be greatly increased
when the new state bridge over the
Raritan is completed, and the ne
cessity of removing all distractions
from the street is apparent.

Good Show a. ErcsCcnt

Every act a headliner." This is
what one man said when he left the
Crescent theatre last night after
viewing the performance which is
showing at this popular variety
theatre for the first three days of
this week. Without doubt the show
at the Crescent today and tomorrow
is m of the mast tuneful, colorful
and delightful in every way that has
ever been seen at this popular play
house.
The vaudeville acts include the
Marcella Review, a Spanish review
featuring seven people. There is
some wonderful instrumental and
singing numbers in this act as well
as some of the best dancing ever
seen on the Crescent stage. Adams
q Gerus present a comedy act that
is above par, while Stanley Hughes
q Company, scored a big hit in
Something Different" The Nc
Arnes Duo, is a colored act that
created considerable sensation.
Thompson &c Frederick Sisters in a
whirlwind dance novelty, also de-
lighted the audience.
Tonight is amateur night, when To-
cal people are given an opportunity
TO use the stage. There is always
much fun on this occasion.
