MIGHTY PHOTODRAMA THE THIEF OF BAGDAD'
TO BENEFIT WILLIAM A. COPYRIGHT, JR. POST
The Whole Town Has Been Waiting For This Great New
York Sensation Proceeds To Be Used To Defray Mem
oria Day Expenses

time, the Princess declares she will
wed the one who, at the end of the
seventh moon, shall return with the
rarest treasure. In great humility
of spirit, the Thief seeks out the
Holy Man who convinces him that on
the bedrock of his newborn inten-
tions, he can build honor and worth
mess. The Mongol Prince departs
with the other Princes, but leaves
behind his Counselor with orders to
raise secret army and hold it in
readiness to overthrow the Caliph.
The Thief sets out on his journey,
which takes him through the Valley
of Monsters, to the Crystal Realm be-
meath the sea, and up the Flight of a
Thousand stairs; he rides the Flying
Horse up to and through the clouds,
and braves the Cavern of Fire. He
is beset by temptation and attacked
by enormous beasts, but he wears the
armor of Righteous Intent and comes
through victorious bringing with him
the Magic Chest Of Nazir. The chest
contains his birthright, True Man
hood and Power over Mani
Meanwhile the suitors for the hand
of the Princess obtain their treasures.
The Indian Prince has Magic Crys-
tai; the Mongol Prince, a Golden APP
pie that will cure all ills; and the Per-
sian Prince, the Magic Carpet on
which he can fly through the air. At
the end of the sixth moon, the three
Princes foregather and compare treas
ures. In Bagdad, the Princess has
been poisoned by order of the Mon
gol Prince. The Indian Prince,
through his Mystical Crystal sees
that the Princess lies dying. On the
Persian Princes Magic Carpet, they
fly to her aid, and with the Golden
Apple of the Mongol Prince, they
cure her.
The Chinese Army rises and in
surprise attack, capture the city.
This news reaches the Thief, who
rushes to Bagdad He now makes
use of his Magic Chest of Nazir,
creating from nowhere an imposing
army that retakes the city and re-
stores the Caliph. Wearing his Cloak
of Invsibility, he is able to reach the
Princess. On the Magic Carpet, they
sail together over the house-tops
headed for the Land of Love and we
see them gliding gracefully toward
the star-studded sky, in which the
twinkling beacons of night spell the
words: Happiness Must Be Earned"
The more important members OF
the cast are Julanne Johnston, form
erly member of the famous Morgan
Dancers; who impersonates the Prin-
cess; So-Jin Kamayama, imported
from Japan where he has been the
leading Shakesperean actor, who inn
personates the Mongol Prince. Anna
May Wong. charming little Chinese
/ Aapper, is seen in the part of the
slave. Snitz Edwards is the Thief's
evil associate; Brandon Hurst, is the
Caliph.

Douglas Fairbanks will be seen in
the amazing picture, taken from the
Arabian Nights, "The Thief of Bag
dad, "a picture that is said to be
away and beyond anything yet seen
on the silver screen, at the Bever-Lee
Theatre on Monday and Tuesday
evenings next for the benefit of Will
liam A. Cortright, Jr Post, American
Legion. This lovely story of romance
and adventure abounds, according to
all accounts, in happenings of as
founding and unbelievable magic.
Nothing like it has ever been at
tempted, nothing like it has ever
been seen, nothing like it has ever
been accomplished This beautifully
fanciful story, born of poets dream
in Araby, was made into an entranc-
ing reality by Douglas Fairbanks.
1t breathes the spirit of imaginary
worlds, where the unusual is usual,
where the impossible is possible. In
brief, the following are the chief in
cidents of the tale; In Bagdad, Magic
City of the East, dwells Ahmed the
Thief. He is an audacious rascal,
living by his wits, He steals Magic
Rope with which he can climb into
the air; he escapes with it, and finds
himself in a Temple. Here the Holy
Man is expounding the theory that
Happiness must be earned" The
Thief fouts this philosophy, but car
ries away an impression that is
vaguely disturbing.
With the Magic Rope, he gains en-
trance to the Palace of the Caliph.
While looting chest of jewels, he is
intrigued by the sound of sweet mu-
sic. He follows it to the bed chamber
of the Princess, who lies sleeping. He
kneels beside her couch. Her slumb-
er becomes restless; her hand touches
his. With cry of alarm she awakes
and throws aside the silk coverlid
which falls over the crouching Thief.
He is thus hidden from the guards
who rush in The Mongol Slave Girl
espies him, but he threatens her into
silence with his daggen and escapes.
A Mongol Prince, Persian Prince
and an Indian Prince, are suitors of
the Princess. In state, they arrive to
ask her hand. There comes also a
strange "Prince Ahmed" Thief
in disguise. The Princess remembers
the prediction of a soothsaying slave
that "Whosoever first toucheth the
rose tree in the courtyard, him shall
you we'd" She watches with anxiety
which turns to joy, when she sees
"Prince Ahmed" touch the rose tree.
After the Ring of Choice is placed
on Ahmed's finger his duplicity is
discovered but love has chastened
him and he refuses to flee. BY the
Caliph's order, he is brutally logged
and thrown into the street. His only
consolation is the Princess's avowal
of love and the ring which she babe
him keep.
The Caliph now demands that his
daughter choose from among the
three remaining Princes. To gain

CHORAL CUP
White And Colored Organization.
Compete At Moorestown.

On Thursday evening, May 14th,
the choral organizations of Moores-
town, Beverly and Riverton (white)
and Moorestown, Mount Holly and
Riverton (colored) met at Friends
high school, Moorestown for the final
contest. The room was crowded
with friends anxious TO help their
group carry home the cup. The Riv-
erton group under the direction of
Mrs. S. W. Collins, won the Parker
cup for the second time. This was
the first time the colored groups had
competed, Moorestown winning the
cup offered to them by Mrs. James
Ferris, of Edgewater Park.
| The judges for this contest were
selected with the greatest of care by
Miss Mildred Benners, of Moorestown
who is county chairman of choral
work. Mrs. Edwin Parker, of Wash
ington, a member of the National
Board, who is promoting the idea of
choral singing in counties throughout
| the country was one of the judges.
Mrs. Parker gave the county last year
very beautiful silver loving cup
Miss Irland, of New York City a
member of the National Y. w. c. A.
staff having charge of the music work
there, was another judge. The third
was Mrs. William Shedwick, of Mas
onville, who is well qualified to
judge music. These judges were
concealed at the back of the room
where they could not see the contest
ing groups, who responded by num-
Der only.
The contest numbers for the groups
were "Homing" which had been ar
ranged by Miss Isabel Ferris, of this
city, who was the leader of the Bev-
erly groups. Lift Thine Eyes and
''In the Land of the Sky Blue Water"
being the other numbers used for
the white groups. This is the second
contest for the white groups. River
ton being the fortunate group each
time. If they win the cup again it is
theirs. The groups singing these
numbers were: Beverly, conducted
by Miss Isabel Ferris; Moorestown,
directed by Mrs. William French and
Riverton lead by Mrs. S. Collin
The numbers used by the colored
groups were: an the Time of Roses"
deep River" and Mother of Mime"
The last two were composed by a
negro. The groups all sang very
well. The Moorestown group lead by
Mrs Gertrude Williams carried home
the cup.
Last year when the choral groups
We're organized here in the county,
there was just one aim, that of ac-
quainting a group with good music
and teaching them to enjoy singing
together. But many other values
have been found and it is hoped
that more communities will enter the
contest next year.

Federal departments in Washington
in order to be near their home towns.
The Civil Service Commission is not
as easily influenced as the depart
ments. They weigh the brain of
candidates for Federal jobs while
Congressman estimate only the politi-
cal calibre.
The publication of list of senat-
ors and congressman making trips on
Government ships during the summer
recess has brought out a fine collec-
ton of alibis. There is a party of
eleven touring the Far East on gov
eminent transport. Shortly after this
list was made public several of these
legislators fearing the possible eff
fects in their districts, wired an ex-
PLANTATION to their home districts say
ing that they were paying their own
expenses and not depending upon the
charity of the Federal Government.
These junkets are usually expensive
to the taxpayers but most entertain
ing to the travellers.
One of the difficulties arising from
these unofficial visits of members of
Congress is the effect on foreign re-
lations. Many officials of foreign
governments are given wrong impress
sion of this country by indiscreet re-
marks of their guests. In many in
stances foreign governments have
interpreted the talk on foreign poll
cies by congressman as semi-official,
when as a matter of fact their view!
carried no weight with the Admins
tration. There is an old story in
Washington to the effect that a con-
gresham will talk at the least pro-
vocation and that is one of the rea'
sons why the State Department, which
wants to maintain the friendliest re
lations with foreign governments
frowns upon unofficial misinterpre'
tators" of American opinion.

Another fight is brewing at the
Shipping Board as result of dis
sention between members of the
Board and the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration which is the operating uni
for the American Merchant Marine
The controversy centers around the
disposition of 200 vessels now owned
by the Shipping Board as a result Of
wartime construction. The dispute
may reach point where the Presi
dent will recommend the abolition o.
the board and the transfer of the au
thorities to the department of Com
merce or some other branch of tn
service familiar with shipping prob
lens.

ST. PAUL LETTER

St. Paul, Minnesota, July IA
Especial Correspondence)-Not all
the brave men and women in the
world hunt lions or explore the Ar
tic regions.
Among the bravest are those who
take advantage of excursion rates
and sit up for two nights while
scooting through the cinders and the
heat between St. Paul and Chicago.
There are, therefore, approximate
ly 5000 heroes and heroines in the
Twin Cities, the same being those
who left here last Saturday night
while the temperature playfully reg
istered in the middle nineties and sat
erect through the long night to reach
Chicago and it's blistering heat Sun
day morning. They are the same, al
so, who lodged sunstrokes all day
Sunday, visited the beaches and at
tended ball games, and then climb
ed aboard for another all-night trip
to St. Paul. And all for 81. 90.
This very low rate was by way of
introducing the reorganized Chicago
& Northwestern and the Omaha rail-
roads and their desire to create an
interest in travelling.
1t happens that in the neighbor-
hood of 500 of the excursionists for
got all about the daylight saving in
Chicago, and so they arrived at the
depot just one hour late. Presum-
ably by this time they are home, but
they will know better what it means
to save daylight after this.
No announcement has been made
that the trip is to be repeated. 1t
would be interesting to know how
many of the brave 5000 would dare
another such outing.

WASHINGTON LETTER

Especial to Sank Centre Herald)
Washington, July 15-Members
of Congress have made an alarming
discovery. There are few, if any
vacancies in the government service.
This dearth of patronage was reveal
ed this week when many Federal en-
ployees journeyed to the Capitol
hunting for jobs. The cutting down
of certain appropriations at the end
of the fiscal year, June 80, released
many of the constituents of senator's
and congressman.
A rather pathetic spectacle is at
forded in the scramble for jobs.
There are many members of Congress
who will be up for reelection within
a few months and are now particu-
larly solicitous about their constitu-
ents and the patronage for their par
ticular district. Inasmuch as only
one committee which would require
clerical assistance will function dur
ing the summer, the pressure on the
chairman is very strong. This body,
the Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections, will investigate the
contest between Senator Brookhart,
Republican, of Iowa and Daniel w.
Steck, Democratic candidate for the
Senate.
Senator Ernst, Republican, of Ken
lucky, has adopted novel scheme to
satisfy his senatorial colleagues who
are constantly writing him asking
him "to take care of" their jobless
constituents. The chairman has told
all applicants that the one having the
largest number of personal endorse
ments from senators will be consider
ed for the post. The job at its best
will pay only a few hundred dollars
but in spite of this many are seeking
the opening.
The retrenchment policy of the Ad-:
ministration has released many Fed
eral employees from high salaried
jobs. 1t may seem strange to the
people at home why these employees
discharged from their present duties
will take examinations for the same
Job at an extremely low entrance sal
airy. They make various sacrifices to
be retained on the government pay
roll rather than return home to teach
school or to take up work in the
stores, or on the farm. There seems
to be lure about Washington life
that makes government employment
desirable even, if the social sphere is
restricted.
One of the reasons that govern
ment jobs are regarded by outsiders
as "soft snaps" is the policy of allow
ing 80 days sick leave and 80 days
annual leave. This labor policy
would bankrupt or lessen the effic-
iency, at least, of private institutions.
There is some talk that the present
Administration will reduce these two
months vacation period taken at the
expense of the taxpayers. Two
weeks is the ordinary vacation period
in private life.
The most harassed individual in the
Federal service today is the person
mel officer connected with the gov
eminent departments. He is under
pressure from senators and congress
men at the Capitol to find openings
for their voters from the home dis
tricts. He must be a bold man in
deed to stand up against such polit-
ical pressure because there is always
the fear of having revenge taken in
December when departmental appro-
priations are requested of Congress.
The decentralization of certain
Government bureaus has also result
ed in a demand for transfers from
