THEATRES
IDitmas Theatre


The Dhtmas theatre was TILED
tn s last two nights with people
who sat FOR two hours with evident
interest watching q motion picturs
of the kind often damned in the
trade as educational" Frequently
they broke into spontaneous ap-
plause-such expressions of enthus-
iasm as Douglas Fairbanks calia
forth when he accomplishes an es-
pecialiy hazardous or unexpected
feat. Not once did the interest lag.
The film was Hunting Big Came
in Africa" 1t was made on a two-
year expedition into the Dark Con-
tinent, led by H. A. Snow and his
son Sidney, who went out for The
Museum of Natural History of Oak
land, Cal. It seems safe to say
that it is the most complete, which
means the most instructive and the
most thrilling, motion picture Of wild
animal life ever made. Paul Rainey,
the cinematic Henry M. Stanley, OF
Africa, did it first. and did it well.
His pictures are still remembered,
and it was a generous if deserved,
recognition OF Rainey's work for
Mr.. Snow to have him mentioned in
a subtitle. And other good African
pictures have come. But they all,
IL, seems, have been leading UP I'd
the film now at the Ditmas. It ap-
pears to be about the last word, az
least go far as animal life on thu
continent is concerned.

Fee.
The residents of Keasbey are at a
los to find why the township COM
mittee has not fulfilled their pat
OF the agreement and why Keasbey
has never been able to get some
action in that direction.
In response to a plea made by
delegates from this district at the
township meeting last night Com
mitteeman William d. Hoy declared
that Keasbey has an opportunity TO
secure water connections. He
pointed out that while water mains
are being laid toward Stevens ave-
nue., Keasbey people should take
advantage OF it. Connections from
Stevens. avenue to Keasbey corner
could be made at low cost, Mr.. Hoy
declared. He also said that il the
taxpayers disagree on paying the
cost OF the connection he would see
that the township authorizes the
piping at the expense of the tax
payers, which procedure was done in
Averel and Hopelawn.
The clay corporation here, who
IL said to own the greater part uf
the district is believed to be opposed
TO the paying Tor the water con-
nections. They believe that the $1.25
per foot asked from the taxpayers
was excessive and also feel that the
water connection which wLs
brought from Perth Amboy as far
as the loop should be extended At
far al Fees corner without addi'
tional expense to the taxpayer.

pany yesterday afternoon deplore.

But they overlook the fact that a
camera has to be held still, accord
ing to Bebe Daniels, charming star
OF "a Game Chicken" a Realart Pic
ture production which will open to-
morrow for a u of three days at

Miss Daniels and her company
were on a tiny tug shooting some
atmosphere" scenes of a big
schooner Off San PeGro, Cal, where
the Pacific fleet has its home. When
word got about the navy that Bebe
Daniels was on the little boat, there
was a continual procession OF
launches and power boats past the
tug with gobs and officers eager
to catch a sight of the brilliant and
captivating young star.
The wave from their ~propellors
rocked the tug so that Cameraman
George Foisey couldn't keep even as
big al object as the schooner within
the scope OF the lens. Finally, IN
desperation and in order to get n
WORT done, the director was com
PEELED to send Bebe below-when
