THE CHAUTAUQUA

Pleasantville will have the
Chautauqua again next year.
The Chautauqua may not
seem to mean much to many
adults. These adults find their
entertainment at bridge, or the
movies, or perhaps in some the
atre in Atlantic City. These
may be surfeited with enter
tainments and amusements.
There are, however, in Plea
santville and vicinity a consid-
cradle number who do not take
their entertainment in bridge,
or the movies. or in Atlantic
City. They are entitled to con-
sideration.
Especially are they entitled
to consideration because a large
percentage of them are child
rem. The strongest point made
on behalf Of continuing the
Chautauqua in Pleasantville an
other year was that it interests
children.
No matter how those who
have attained years of discre-
ton elect to entertain and
amuse themselves, the fact re-
mains that there is an obliga-
ton due the children who have
neither the means nor the es-
cort to attend or patronize At
lantic City entertainments.
The children are entitled to
the cleanest, the best, the most
educational, the most enliven-
ing and the most uplifting en-
tertainment it is possible to
provide for them.
There is the opportunity for
this in the Chautauqua. An
opportunity is also a response
bility. IF one fails in taking
advantage Of his opportunity,
he has failed in a responsibility.

Chautauqua for another year is

NEW SHORE ROAD.

There is much speculation as
to the probable new route that
will be advocated by the State
to parallel the White Horse
pike to the shore. Except that
the new road will be to the
north of the White Horse pike,
very little is known. 1t IS
thought that the road will prob
ably run through Medford, then
through the pines to Chatsworth
and follow the line Of the pres
ent gravel road to Barnegat.
Here it would connect with the
shore road and travel would be
direct to both North and South
Jersey resorts.
Except between Medford
and Chatsworth there are al
ready fairly good roads, that

being exceptionally good. The

TWO FEATURES AT PALACE

The double feature bill at the New Palace the last half of this week is very entertaining. The first feature. Dance Madness" starring Conrad Nagel and Claire Windsor. is a highly amusing comedy of a couple who take life very lightly, thinking it no more than a dance. In fact they enter married life via the Charleston; but soon find out that there is more to it than n mere dance. Although there are many serious phases to the picture. most of the situations are hilarious ly funny.
 The companion feature Is Jack HoXie in Wild Horse Stampede" :" which is a thrilling western with Hoxie doing some sensational rid . ing.
 The sixth episode of the Flight. ing Hearts" series entitled "Whisk- ering Chorus.' is as funny as the preceding episodes.
 Tomorrow night as an added at traction the country store will be held.
