Have always been interested in the
scrapbooks of actors. LARRY Sulli-
van of the Berkell Players has such
a book that shows he was on the
stage as early as 1895 and 1896 as a
member of the Sullivan Dramatic
Company. One of the clippings
shows that the hit of "Uncle Toms
Cabin" production of the Sullivan
Company was Larry. The clipping
states that perhaps the most pop
ular member Of the troupe is Master
Lawrence Sullivan, about years Of
age. who performs specialties with
the best of them"

interesting programs. Even the adj
vertisements gave me a great laugh.

Vaudeville is making great plans
for next season. The past few years
has demonstrated the fact that con-
unuous movie and variety shows are
in great popular favor.
The big time Keith houses have
been informed that more big acts,
including some important European
novelties, have been booked for next
season. Such favorites as eddie
Leonard. PATRICIA, Houdini. Rae
Samuels and others will again ap-
pear in the Keith houses. These
stars are essentially vaudeville and
an effort is being made to hold them
in variety houses instead of them
appearing for brief flyers in music
comedies and revues.

FIREMEN'S BAZAAR
NOW UNDERWAY
Carnival Spirit Marks Opening-Rink
Is Mecca For Many

The opening night of the big ba-
zaar and carnival now being held in
the Woodstock skating rink under
the auspices of the Shenandoah Fire
Company. brought together a fair
sizd crowd. Too few by far to show
the merited appreciation of the cit
liens for the unselfish efforts of the
members of the Fire Company to
acquire modern equipment to pro-
tect YOUR property.
The rink has been decorated in
an attractive way and a number of
booths are open for the purpose of
allowing the opportunity to aid the
Fire Company while getting value
received for expenditures.
Music by the Pythian Band and
the Shenandoahians," Woodstock 8
famous orchestra, added melody to
the carnival spirit. and in that sec
ton set aside for dancing young
folks, and some not so young, en-
joyed the latest filings in the terpis-
chorean world.
While it should require neither
invitation nor urging to crowd the
rink with men and women interest
ed in the success of the big carnival,
yet the fire boys are anxious to have
with them every man, woman and
child in Shenandoah County who APP
preciate fun, enjoy music and feel
like having good time, while aid
ing the Fire Company, during the
remaining nights of the carnival.
Remember, it closes Saturday
night. and certainly you cannot af-
ford to neglect this good chance of
helping a cause which means so
much for Woodstock and the sur
rounding county.

OVERALL FACTORY
ALMOST ASSURED
Meeting Last Night Attended By
Leading Citizens

approximately sixty citizens repre-
senting varied interests in Woodstock
and contiguous territory met in the
Circuit Clerks Office last night to con-
slider plans for the establishment of
an overall factory in the town, which
will employ minimum force of fifty
hands at the beginning, and which
will be of inestimable value to the
industrial upbuilding of this section.
The meeting was called by the
Woodstock Chamber of Commerce in
response to a proposition made by a
Maryland corporation which is sue
cessfully operating similar factories
at Luray, and at other places in Vir-
ginia. The Chamber of Commerce
in answer to the repeated wishes of
the citizens of Woodstock to secure
industries for the town, has succeed
ed in interesting the Maryland COM
pany, and it remains to be seen
whether the citizens are sincere in
their anxiety to have the town
progress and build up. Upon their
support of the proposed industry de-
ponds the beginning of the towns
growth along the lines indicated
The report of the citizens commit
tee which recently visited the Luray
plant was optimistic and gave the
meeting such facts as warranted a
serious consideration of the under
taking.
| The whole matter hinges on secur.
4 ing in Woodstock $4,000 with which
1 to acquire a site and erect such q
building as may be needed for the
beginning of factory operations. This
sum will be repaid in ten annual in
stallments by the Maryland Com
pany.
The sale of stock and other mat
ters is contingent upon the success!
in raising this initial amount, and i
is almost an assured fact that thi
amount will be raised by the pro
gressive citizens of the town
A committee was appointed b,
DR.. w. H. Wunder, president of tn
Chamber of Commerce, to canvas
the town for the $4,000 guarantee

CAR RUNS AMUCK

When the citizens of Woodstock
saw a certain red roadster of not re-
cent vintage running astray on
Church Street several days ago they
marvelled at vagaries of the unpilot-
ed machine. After cutting capers in
the main thoroughfare it played tag
with a nearby porch and spent its
playfulness in a field opposite the
colored church. At first it was
thought that some experimentor was
trying out a new radio apparatus for
guiding automobiles, but this sur
mise was shattered when a certain
well-known Woodstock attorney and
former judge. was seen chasing the
runaway. OF course, no names are
mentioned. but the car can be iden-
titled most anywhere by a walk along
Court Street.
The car was not injured, though
some Church Street fences were
worse for the cars pilgrimage.
