Handsome Sailors Desert
to Enter the ''Movies''

BaltimOre.-Ship captains operating
to the California coast have crow to
pick with the motion picture industry.
They say that because Of the numerous
assertions Of young men from their
vessels at San Pedro they generally
have to return to Baltimore short
handed. The hands quit to go to Holly
wood.
Capt. John Martin Of the steamship
Venetia said:
1T is wretched state of affairs. If
we sign good-looking, well set-up,
young ordinary seaman, or mess boy, it
is pretty sure shot that he will desert
as soon as he gets to San Pedro and go
to Hollywood for chance to enter the
moving pictures.
I'm fact, it is getting so that we take
it for granted that if we enlist new
man, he is just joining the ship to get a
chance to get to Hollywood. I am skep-
teal about any young fellow unless he
has a face that only mother could
love. Even then he might quit the ship
and try to get in on a comedy"
Every month thousands of dollars in
deserters wages are turned over to the
shipping commissioners office here.
Desertions occasionally run as high as
100 men month. Last month they ran
close to hundred. One vessel lost
every ordinary seaman and mess boy it
carried.

"West OF The Water
7osUer" AT The Century

The film version of the sensational
novel by Homer Croy entitled "West
of the Water Tower" with Glenn
Hunter, star of Merton of the Nov
ies," and May McAvoy in the lead
ing roles, will be shown in the Cen
fury Theatre, Baltimore, Md, during
the week beginning, Monday, Janu-
airy 7. In this story there is ire
nlendous theme of parents response
bility to their children. A minor
theme also runs through this intense
play showing how the latent qualities
of the typical American boy are
brought out by adversely.
Glenn Hunter is supported by an
excellent cast in this production
Some of them are: Ernest Terrence,
George Fawcett, Zazu Pitts, and Chas
Able. Harper's published the novel
anonymously in the first months OF
the summer and it created quite a fu-
rore when it appeared in print. 1t
was adapted by Doris Schroeder.

PhilaGulphia.-Fol the restric-
ton placed upon the number Of we'd
dings which Rev. Charles H. Elder,
former pastor of the Trinity M. e.
church of Trenton and present chap
lain Of the New Jersey state prison
there, may of1ciate at, storm of pro-
tests was directed against the edict
Of Bishop Joseph F. Berry Of Phila-
delphia, who curtailed Mr.. Elders ac-
tivities. Bishop Berry has forbidden
Mr.. Elder, known as the marrying
parson," to officiate at marriages, bap-
tisms, funerals and sick calls. The ac-
ton was taken following the COM
plants Of brother clergymen that Mr..
Elders matrimonial activities were
hurting their business" The sympa-
thies Of Trenton are with Mr.. Elder,
and the disciplining Of their beloved
pastor is causing much discussion, pro
and con, in Trenton.
