town and Harpers Ferry
+: Full of Historic Interest.

Landscapes that feast the eye. sites
that touch the heart, roads that are
matched by few throughout the coun-
try await the motorist who would
tour northern Maryland A drive of
rev hours leads to historic noun
talns, famous battlefields, quaint
towns and enchanting beauty spots.
rms Is the route this week of The
stars special motor tour-to Fred
erlck, Hagerstown. Harpers Ferry and
the Antietam battlefield
Although not unfamiliar to Che eX-
perlenced Washington motor tourist,
TINS trip, because of the splendid roads
ana the inspiring country, bears repeti-
tion. Along its course there are spots
at which the motorist will want to
hnger and pay tribute to the won.
ders of nature and the deeds Of men.
Leaving the District line at Chevy
Chase Circle, rather than by, way of
wisconsin avenue, which is being
paved, the road leads to Rockville.
Here the motorist has the choice of
taking what is termed the back route,
paralleling for considerable distance
the Potomac River, or the more IA
miliar route by way of Gaithersburg,
Damascus and Ridgeville. Both are
approximately equi-distant from Fred
erick and both are recommended by
the touring experts of the American
Automobile Association.
Fork at Hendersons Corner.
Along the old route, about % miles
from Washington. at Hendersons
Corner. is another fork, both branches
of which lead to Frederick. The road
leading to the northwest, by way of
Clarksburg, is approximately seven
miles shorter, but a portion of it near
HyattStown is under construction.
This road is part of the Old National
Road.
Reverting to the main route, the
road leads to Damascus, remembered
by motorists as the place of the
sharp turn" Six miles ahead is
Ridgeville, from which point on lies
beautiful, rolling Maryland country.
Stretching almost directly west from
Ridgerille, the road passes through
New Market, a quaint. one-street vii
laSe, crossing the Monocacy River
over the old Stone jug Bridge, and
into Frederick a distance of 51.3 miles
from the National Capital.
Frederick is one of Maryland S
larger towns. 1t is the same Fred
erick the poet Whittier mentioned
when he wrote his undying Barbara
Frietchie." Here is the grave of that
immortal character and a marker IN
dicates the spot where stood her home.
Here. too. are buried the remains of
Francis Scott Key, and a monument
erected to the memory Of the author
of the "Star Spangled Banner" stands
at the entrance of Frederick's Mount
Olivet Cemetery.
This town knows the sound of mar
tial feet. Not only in the Civil War
did the soldiers, both Union and Con-
federate. trod it's streets, but also in
the War of 1872 it suffered much dew

that Pollyanna makes an appearance
in what she believes is the castle of
an unhappy king and her joyous way
wins also the heart of John Pendle-
ton.
In the third act, by this time, the
two having become great friends, Pol
lyanna tells "the king" story which
had been told her many times by her
mother, whose name was Charity, the
sweetheart of his youth, who was
snatched away from him by dis
approving father. He derives untold
comfort from the story and his joy
is unbounded when he realizes that his
sweetheart had loved him through all
the years, in spite of the fact that she
had married another. John Pendleton,
the Crouch, is completely won by Pol
lyanna's "glad game" and he finds all
at once that there is much joy in his
life--he therefore is cured of all his
mental and physical ills, to the great
amusement of his friend DR.. Chiffon.
There is smattering Of comedy
thruout the play caused by the Irish
wit and blunt sarcasm of Nancy, Aunt
Polly's maid. This part was taken by
Miss Florence Peterson. Bleecker, the
butler in John PendIeton's home,
which part was taken by III. B. Winnie,
came in for some severe rebukes from
the sharp tongue of Nancy.
Dorothy Davis, Virginia Schwin and
Katie Psenda took respectively the
parts of Mrs. Carmody, Mrs. Gregg
and Miss Carroll, who in the opening
act are seen busily sewing for the or
phans. They are interrupted by the
arrival Of Pollyanna and are enter
tanned by her enthusiastic chatter.
Miss Katie Psenda, as Pollyanna
grown-up, completed this part in the
final act, while Elmer Salo completed
the part Of Jimmy Bean. After the
curtain fell there were many COM
ments of appreciation of the play and
of the actors individually.
Arts Melodians gave selections dur
ing intermission between acts.

P0LLYANNA" WINSLOCAL LIBRARY MAY
APPLAUSE AT WORK FUNCTION AS A FREE
ERS FALL FRIDAY COUNTY LIBRARY

"Pollyanna", one Of the most popu-
lar of comedy dramas was presented
TO fair sized audience at the Work
ers Hall Friday evening, under the di-
rection of Joseph Kent. This play,
starring "the glad girl, who was Miss
Monica Plunkett, is play full of
humorous philosophy that in itself is
a remedy for any case of the blues,
and when the star of the play hap
pens to be small actress of the par
ticularly lovable qualities which Miss
Monica possesses, its effect is only to
make the play doubly charming. Thus
is was that Pollyanna carrying out
her part of radiating. sunshine and
spreading indiscriminately her CHEEKY
doctrine, won the applause of the
audience just as she captivated them
by her realistic portrayal of the part.
Miss Ramona Berta played very
well rather difficult part of the dig
nified maiden aunt, otherwise Aunt
Polly, with whom Pollyanna had come
to make her home because Of the death
of her mother. Aunt Polly tries in very
strict fashion to suppress the child
ish ecstacies and mischievous pranks
of her little niece, and it thus devel-
ops that Pollyanna seeks some one
who will appreciate and give sympa-
thetic ear sto her glad game" and
this she finds in full measure in the
person of Jimmy Bean, little orphan
boy, played by Phil Pollard, who was
especially appealing and won his share
of applesauce from the audience.
In the second act of the play the
two children make the acquaintance of
John Pendleton, a confirmed crouch,
very ably played by Joseph Kent, who
lives on the estate adjoining Aunt Pol
ly's, and who through an unfortunate
affair (which later develops was with
none other than Pollyanna's mother)
has shut all joy and sunshine out of
his life and is enjoying his unhappy
state to the utmost, when one day his
friend Dr. Chiffon, played by Roy
Reed, on making his call, tells him of
the little glad girl and of what mir
acles she is working in the lives of
many Of his patients, to such success
that he, DIR. Chiffon, fears that he will
soon have no patients. John Pendle-
ton, while scorning the story, is cur
ious to see Pollyanna and it is here

glad refrain heard by the shepherds

good will prevades the land--a spirit
that should extend throughout the

EBENEZER SCROOGE TO THE
CONTRARY

You have heard hard-boiled
gentlemen assert with the abso-
lutte finality of ignorance, and
quite after the style of old man
Scrooge that Christmas senti-
ment is humbug.
And yet, aside from all refer
ence to belief in the birth Of Saw
ior of Men 1926 years ago, Christ
mas is an institution we could i'll
afford to dispense with.
Consider when it comes. At the
end of the year, when men are
taking inventory of material and
spiritual things. The day and the
season rank along with New Year
as mileposts along the trail. How
many of us have already said to
our wives this year: Next Christ
mas" this and that! 1t is a per-
iod, if you care for subtle facts, of
looking up and on.
And so at this, the 1926 Yuletide,
we have taken inventory Of good
friends and customers, old and
new, and of sundry grounds for
that Merry Christmas so many
have kindly wished us.
1t is now our privilege to wish
you, according to the time honor
ed custom, "a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year"
