AND AGAIN GLORIA TRIUMPHS
Popular Screen Star Comes Again
To The Strand

Lambertville-"Th Coast OF Fol
ly" is one of the few movies whose
titles really have a bearing on the
stories they portray. This latest
masterpiece of Gloria Swanson, who
is now a Countess by her recent
marriage, depicts the folly of life
of pleasure hunting and irresponsible
conduct. As wicked as Gloria ap-
pears in the beginning, it develops
that beneath her restless temper
ment there is heart of sweetness
and character of shining worth.
The picture handles one
of these eternal triangle affairs
with such clever acting and beautiful
settings that it takes hold of you
from the beginning. 1t is splendid
contrast to "Madame Sans Gene" in
which Gloria last appeared. The pic
ture is from Coningsby Dawson's
novel by the same name. If you
like to be thrilled, then see this
picture.

INVOKES THE AID OF
THE KU KLUX KHAN

An anonymous writer to this pa
per issues a warning to "a certain
young widow of Stockton" who is
credited, (or discredited,) with hav-
ing clandestine meetings with mar
ried men along the railroad track
in that borough. Evidently she is not
"grass widow" or else she would
prefer the green fields or the woods
for her billing and cooling. Widows
are generally credited with securing
husbands with greater ease than
girls without experience. But why
pick on some other woman's hus-
band? (But I can hear sarcastic
voice replying, "But why should
married men pick on other mems
widows ?")
The communication says, "a GER
tain young widow of Stockton had
better be careful how she is meet
ing married men down the railroad
track, for people often walk out in
their back yards in the evening. The
Ku Klux Klan had better get busy
in Stockton"
We predict that there will be a
congestion of back yards along the
said railroad track hereafter. And
perhaps there'll be excursions from
other places of those seeking di-
version II has we'll been said, Given
the walls have ears" but we can
now add to that, "And also rail
roads-and they seem to have eyes
also"
