New Dover Opera House. Dover

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
Charleston fans will probably turn
out in full force for the premiere of
Allan Dwan's new Paramount picture,
"Padlocked." For the word has gone
Que that Lois Moran, the charming
little actress who has the featured
lead in this modern American drama,
dances two new Charleston specialties
that are certain to "catch on" with
the public. The first dance is called
the Charleston Ia Tamale." 1t was
evolved by Miss Moran in collabora-
tion with Ernest Belcher, popularity
known as "the dancemaster of the
movies" AS the name suggests, it
is an adaptation of the Charleston to
the Spanish dance, and is in reality
a modified Charleston from the hips
down and graceful Spanish dance
from the hips up. The second new
dance is the Charleston a la King"
It was imported by Miss Moran direct
from Paris, where it is all the rage
among professional dancers in the
Montmartre and at fashionable soirees
1t is danced in an ortrich feather cos
tune that is delightfully."- intriguing.
The movement of the feet is typically
Charleston, but the sway Of the body
and the movement Of the arms and
head are taken from the calssic bal
let, danced in the courtly days of old
France. Allan Dwan IS the first di-
rector to take advantage Of Lois Mo
rams ability as fancy dancer. When
Samuel Goldwyn discovered her
abroad she was one of the premiere
dancers Of the ballet Of the Opera
National in Paris. In "Padlocked"she
plays a typical American girl Of to-
day whose ambition to develop her
talents along individual lines is stif1ed
by her narrow-minded father. Noah
Beery is cast as the Puritanical par
ent and Louise Dresser is the third
featured member in the powerful role
Of society woman with a past.
The management Of the New Dover
Opera House is making arrangements
with the merchants and newspapers
Of Dover and vicinity for a big mas
querade parade contest to be held on
the stage on Halloween Eve, Friday
October 29th. The affair promises to
be greater and better than any here
tofore held. Several worth while
prizes will be given to the best dress
ed, the most comical dressed, as we'll
as separate set of prizes for the
juveniles who will take part. A spec
ial big photoplay production has been
contracted for the occasion. Due to
the large stage of the new theatre, it
is now possible for all who wish to
enter the contest to take ppart. The
evening promises to be. one of the
most pleasant so far arranged for the
amusement of theatregoers. 1t is the
wwish of the management of the New
Dover Opera House that all persons
desiring to enter into the contest to
send their names or leave their names
al the box Office of the theatre as soon
as possible.

Monks Orange Trees
Began Big Industry

A few orange trees brought from
Spain by Franciscan monks in 1859
and planted In mission grounds
marked the beginning of a citrus in
dustry In California which approaches
a yearly turnover of S1O0,OOO.OOO,eO0
The first orchard of any size was
planted In 1904 or 1905 near the San
Gabriel mission, ten miles from where
Los Angeles now is. Four hundred
seedlings covered six acres.
Early records say extensive or
chards were developed and were ex-
ceedingly prolific, although John @.
Fremont, who visited the Franciscan
establishments after their seculari-
zation in 1884, said little remained of
the orchards then.
The navel, California's winter
orange, was planted extensively In
the '70s on desert land which had been
considered worthless. The navel
orange of today is one of the big four
Of citrus fruits.
The valencia orange was brought
from the Azores islands In 1865. Lem
ons were imported from Australia and
Sicily.

"White Tribes" Little
Better Than SaUages

James Stevens, in his "Brawny.
man." gives this description Of the
white tribes" of the old West: 1.-THE
bands of white men who adventured
to the Rocky mountains in the TWEEN
ties Of the last century had to live
like Indians, and they soon became
a tribe of semi-savages, with various
bands under powerful chiefs; all
meeting each spring at a rendezvous,
just as an Indian tribe would unite
Its bands for a council. Even such
men as Jim Bridger easily forgot the
ways Of civilization and adopted the
customs, manners, and even the su
perstitions Of the Indians. They mar.
ried squaws, lived on meat-Jim
Bridger never tasted bread for II
years-and scalped their enemies.
When the great emigration began
over the Oregon trail the men of these
white tribes had little more feeling
OF welcome than the Indians for the
pioneers. Jim Bridger freighted sup
plies to his Wyoming fort and sold
them to the emigrants, but this was
not labor of love. The wife of an
army officer tells in her diary of the
Old Man of the Mountains sitting In
the stolid silence of Sioux for two
hours, while emigrants pestered him
with vain questions"

Absence of Standard
Recalled Heroic Deed

Although one of the officers of the
corps of gentlemen-at-arms, the prin-
cipal bodyguard of King George Of
England, always has borne the title
of standard bearer, the corps was
without a standard for centuries. It's
colors were lost at the battle of Nase-
by, when the bodyguard of gentlemen
alarms was destroyed to the last man
while defending King Charles I from
the Roundheads, holding the latter In
check so as to permit the monarch
and his son, afterward Charles u, to
escape, recalls a writer In the New
York Sun.
The standard vanished on that oeca-
sion and presumably was destroyed,
for 1t never has been seen since
Neither Charles II nor his successors
saw fit to present new colors to the
corps and the very absence OF the
standard served to recall the heroism
OF the gentlemen-at-arms at Naseby
until the four hundredth anniversary
Of the foundation of the corps In 1909,
when King Edward presented his
bodyguard with a new standard, a
beautiful affair, embroidered by the
wives and widows Of former captains
Of the corps, all peeresses Of the
realm.
