Monday and Tuesday - la Bo-
heme," Lillian Gish's first American
made picture in some years, is the at
traction The much-heralded play, in
which Miss Gish is seen in the tragic
role of Mimi, famous wherever opera
is loved, is one of the outstanding
productions of the year from the
Metros Goldwyn-M Mayer studios, and
Miss Gish's Interpretation of the role
has created furor in studio circles.
King Vidor, who directed "The Big
Parade" directed the new picture,
which was staged on a lavish scale.
John Gilbert plays the leading male
role as Rodolphe, the poet, with Re
nee Adoree as the sprightly Musetta.
Others in the cast are Roy A'Arcy,
Edward Everett Horton, Gino Cor
RADIO, Karl Dane, George Hassell, Eu
gene Pouyet, Frank Currier, David
Mir, Rosita Marstini and others Of
note.
As promised by the Management of
the New Dover Opera House, the peo-
pie Of Dover and vicinity We're given,
as everyone said, the best vaudeville
show ever presented south of Phila-
delphia. The theatre was packer to
capacity both days and judging from
the great applause given by the en-
thusiastic audience the show was a
great success. The Management of the
New Dover Opera House will continue
to bring to Dover, every Friday and
Saturday the best vaudeville obtain
able and its patrons can attend the
theatre with full confidence that they
will always see an exceptionally fine
show at popular prices.

this time to sunset, says Nature Mag

Down in little Delaware,
She is the cutest little thing
Although she bobs her hair.
She wears her dresses modest
For they're just below her knee,
She's beautiful and healthy
For she's always eating these:
Peaches and Cantaloupes,
Pears and Delaware grapes.
Apples and oranges,
And fruits from all the States.
She doesn't use cosmetics
To beautify herself,
Her skin is smooth as velvet,
Her teeth as white as milk.
She can cook and wash the dishes
And do anything so neat,
And the reason she's so healthy
Is the things she loves to eat.
Peaches and cantaloupes,
Pears and Delaware grapes.
Apples and oranges,
And fruits from all the States.
We are going to be married
When she names the happy day,
And | hope she will not set it
So very long away
For I'm anxious to get settled
For my bride want to suit,

NORGE YET SILENT.
By Dispatch A. r. Wire)


BREMElRTON, Wn., May lathe
dirigible Norge, which. Tuesday passed
over, the north pole and yesterday
reached the northern tip of North
America after sailing across the sky
from rim to rim Of the Arctic ocean,
today remained lost to the world. The
last word was received at 9 o'clock
yesterday morning.
This word was "a mysterious mes
sage picked, up by the naval radio
compass station at Hinchinbrool1
Island near Cordova, Alaska, that the
Norge had passed Point Barrow, the
northern tip Of Alaska.
Every possible radio channel of
communication, the navy radio sta
tion of the Puget Sound navy yard
here announced, was covered. This
station was in constant communica-
tion with navy radio station at Cor
dova, Alaska, and Cordova with sew
en- navy and army radio stations in
favorable position to communicate
with the Norge, which has wireless.
| Besides listening to these seven,
Cordova hears everything that passes
| through the air over the north Pa
cific ocean, northeastern Siberia, the
| Alaska Siberian part of the Arctic
ocean and Alaska. 1t is unlikely the
Norge sent signals and Cordova had
noA obtained them and transmitted
them to Bremerton.
Among opinions heard as to the
whereabouts of the Norge were:
Amundsen flew her to Wainswright
on the northwestern Alaska of the
Arctic ocean.
Amundsen refueled his ship at
Wainswright, where he had cache OF
gasoline left from an attempt to fly
over the pole in an airplane in 1928,
and hurried back north to seek land
in the ocean north of Alaska.
Those venturing this opinion re-
marked that Amundsen was of old
fond of fooling the world when he
gets away from land or into will
derness.
The Norge was deflated at VAIN
wright that village having more than
enough folk to draw her to the ground
and will be shipped out to the states
when navigation of the Arctic ocean
opens in July.
Few were heard to opine that the
Norge had met with disaster. Opti-
mists pointed to reports from Wash
ington and Seattle of good weather
in all of the region where it was con-
sidered likely the Norge might be.
| The optimists cited a rapid, trou-
blesome passage from Spitzenbergen
to Point Barrow, northern tip of
Alaska.
They recalled Amundsen's mysteri-
Gus temperance to the world after
he first navigated the northwest pas
sage in the ship Ojoa. Then they
spoke of May 81, 1925, when Amund-
sen, Ellsworth and four other men
hoped off from Kings Bay in two
planes, went to within $50 miles of
the north pole, wrecked one of the
machines and June 1S, 1925, arrived
back at Kings Bay in the other with
stories of hardships and heroism.

SEN Ellsworth-Nob dirigible Norge

mates that 200 were killed and
about 1000 wounded. Marshal Pill
sudski may soon have to pit his

led by Generals Sikorski and Haller,
who are said to be converging on
the capitol for the purpose of en-
gaging the insurrectionists.
Gets Party Aid
That the former president has sue
ceeded in adding to his followers is
indicated in a message received from
Prague that he is being supported
by the ocial-democratc, peoples and
radical parties and one newspaper in
Prague gives the test of a fiery
manifesto by the socialist party,
which says that the Witos govern
ment at which Pilsudski insists his
movement is aimed, is leading the
country to ruin. "To continue this
government the manifesto adds, 'is
a provocation to all honest men,"
Still another report, telling of the
labor classes in Galicia throwing in
their lot with the Pilsudski move
ment, says that the workers on the
railroads are preventing shipments OF
freight, allowing only food supplies
to get into Warsaw. The official
Polish telegraph agency in Berlin
has denied a report that the Lith-
uanians, with a view to taking over
Wilma, which was annexed to Poland,
have crossed over the frontier, using
the uprising in Poland as cover for
their movement.
