crowd that milled about the snow
covered church lawn.
The Cluny mansion, less than half
mile from the fashionable st.
Peters Episcopal church, was set in
lonely magnificence in the center of

geen hedge enclosed the plot of
ground on all four sides. Snow laden
fir and cedar trees dotted the high
terraced lawn. A long greenhouse
crouched near the hedge on the right,
supplying the mansion with an end

The house itself was lordly,

A dozen delicately beautiful turrets
pierced the thick gloom Of the No

floors. Shades had been yanked up
ruthlessly, and Faith saw burly men
some in uniform, some in plain
clothes, passing constantly across

in the hands of other police officers

He had been SO good to Cherry-and

At The Movies
CAPITOL THEATRE

Lon CLANCY has found his "thou
sand-and-first face!
And it is u face that might grace
Conrad Nagel or John Gilbert.
The celebrated character actor
achieved the strangcst disguise he
ever attcmptcd-and appeared in the
likeness of romantic young hero
a veritablc matinee idol--for the pro-
loguc of "The Road to Mandalay,"
his latest starring vehicle. This film
is soon to be seen at the Capitol The
atrc. At the opening of the story
he is a young sea captain--latcr after
lapse Of years is shown as the sim
lister Singapore Joe" to which the
youngster had degeneratcd.
According to Clancy, applying the
makeup for a matinee idol was one
OF the most intricate problems he
ever faced-as never in his life has
he been called upon to perform such
a task. "Most of my make-ups de-
pend on duplicating age" he said,
land to try and put on youth proved
much like trying to write with my
left hand"
Chaney appears as typical matt
nee idol type in the early scenes and
presents the appearance of youth.
while as matter Of fact he is mid
dlc-aged. In fact, he might have
passed for his own twenty ycar-old
SON.

Aceys Battle Egg Harbor
To II Tie At Ball Park
Breaks Tie Game at Floral Avenue Park Saturday
Russ0s Tumble Gives Visitors Only Score.
Small Crowd Out

Egg Harbor and the Pleasant
Vile Athletic club battled to IT
tie on the Floral avenue gridirOn
Saturday afternoon in Il game that
was full of surprises and upsets.
The Acey eleven showed more
power than it had when it opened
its season, and should have won
the game. AS the breaks went,
however, it was fortunate to even
up the score.
The A. G.. team started a march
towards the visions goal line dur
ing the early moments of the sec
ond quarter. The march carried
the ball to Egg Harbor's ten yard
line. Here Russo, who went into
Coach Parsels backfield and assist
ed with the march, was unfortun-
ate enough to tumble, and the ball
was recovered by Hand, who raced
it eighty-five yards for touch
down.
The run was one of the longest
that a player has made on the
Floral avenue gridiron this year.
Hand was well assisted by his
teammates, who clipped out any
Of the green sweater players who
happened in his way Egg Harbor
booted the goal with ease. The
half ended shortly afterwards.
Pleasantville kicked off at the
start of the second half. Aided by
the wind. Grim kicked a beautiful
long drive which went past Egg
Harbor's goal line. Here the Wis
itors showed they had not watched
the rules of the game and the
changes, leaving the ball go, to be
recovered by Roser for the Acey's
touchdown.
The Aceys also kicked the goal
to tie up the score.
Throughout the remainder of the
game the two teams fought without
any great advantage being gained
by either. Although well matched,
the drive the locals started in the
second period should have been
rewarded by a score, but such was
luck.
A crowd that could have stood
a number of approximations watch
ed the contest. Like the baseball
team, the Athletic club is having
its own troubles in getting crowd
out.
