When my little daughter insists on

her as to why she shouldn't wear it..
i simply ignore her wilfulness, call

mind will be on the wrong she has
dome and she won't be able to play
With ease; back she'll go and put on
the dress she knows I wanted her 20

and get some little boy on the street
to run the errand for me and as sure

At the Aldine, Wilmington

Gilda Gray, Americas most famous
dancer, FOllies beauty and newest mo-
tion picture star will pay her first
personal visit to Wilmington when
she dances at the Aldine Theatre in
that city during the entire week of
March 18th, three times daily. The
booking of Miss Gray for Wilmington
is a stroke of genuine luck for the
theatregoers of this section. She has
just recently completed a tour of this
country appearing as a special fea-
ture in all the largest cities. The
Stanley Company secured her for it's
Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Wash
ington and Wilmington theatres. The
dance advertisement which Miss Gray
and her company of six beautiful Fol-
lies girls will present contains the
best bits of Miss Gray's most famous
successes including the shimmy, the
Charleston, Polish folk dances and
the Beale Street Blues. The motion
picture attraction on the same pro-
gram will be "Sea Horses" with Jack
Holt and Florence VidOr.

Masterpieces Lost to
World Through Flames

The world is very much poorer today
because so much classical literature
of the early centuries has been lost.
Aeschylus is said to have written
from 20 to 80 dramas, but only seven,
in complete state, have been handed
down to us. Only seven, too, of the
12O tragedies written by SOphocles are
known, with, perhaps, 100 fragments
of the others. OF the dramatic works
Of Euripides. which are said to have
totaled 90, only II tragedies and
play, dealing with satyrs, also a few
fragments of the other compositions,
now remain. These losses, also Of
Greek lyrical works, are due to the de-
structiOn by fire of the two great IL
braries Of Alexandria in Al B. c..
when the city was besiged by Julius
Caesar. In this fire 100000 volumes
were destroyed.
Smyrna times., 1926-03-10
South American Gold
in SoIonlon's Temple?

Ophir. land of rich gold mines that
Supplied metal for the decorations of
King Solomon's temple, was in South
America, according to DR.. Van Hauch
of Vienna who has been exploring the
forests of Peru. The tabled country
has been the subject of speculation
for years, and has been variOusly To-
Gated in Arabia. India or South Africa.
says a writer in Popular Mechanics
Magazine In support of his theory the
Vienna explorer declares that he found
an Indian tribe of 300 whose features
bore Jewish cast and whose Ian
guage contained many words like those
Of the ancient Hebrew. The name
Solomon had been given to a number
Of men in the tribe, and legends were
told him of race of Seafaring men
who landed on the banks of the river
Hualla and carried away quantities OF
gold ore. They called the region around
the river Ophira. DR.. Won Hauch be-
lieves that the strangers may have
been King SOlOmOnS sailors. and that
the three years absence of his fleet
mentioned In Biblical accounts is eX-
planned by the long journey to Peru.
Columbus believed that he had found
the source of SOlOmon's riches when
he set foot on the West Indies. The
African theory is based on the dis
cOvery of ancient mines among ruins
south of the Zambesi river, and a
Seventeenth century writing to the
effect that one was the Abyssinian
mine from which the queen of Sheba
obtained most of the gold she gave
King Solomon.
