A PICTURE THAT
SHOCKS THE SENSES

bertville-Seldom has there
been combined so forcefully the ele-
ments of horror and love as was
portrayed in "The Phantom OF The
Opera which was the feature at the
Strand Theatre yesterday. Ihera wl1
be two more performances tonight AT
seven and nine o'clock. This drama
satisfies both the fastidious movie
goers and those who crave thrills in
their pictures.
Lon CLANCY is seen as the Phan-
tom, and again, as in 1.-THE Hunch-
back of Notre Dame he appears as
hideous malformation with n face
of horro that makes the flesh
creep. His home is in the gruesome
and mysterious cellars far beneath
the great Paris Opera House, and his
murderous FRANKS cast a spell Of
horror over that great theatre.
Mary Philbin and Norman Kerry
supply the heart interest in an APP
pealing love affair that redeems the
drama from its spell of horror. II
you want a thrill in an intelligent
way, see this picture tonight.

Celebrate 83rd Year
Grand Master Robert B. Groat Ad-
dresses S3rd Annual Meeting

Lambertville-A record attendance
was present Tuesday evening at the
S3rd anniversary observance held by
LEM Lenape Lodge of Odd Fellows.
Wallace P. Thornton, Representative
of the Grand Lodge, presided at the
meeting.
Robert B. Groat, Grand Master
for the State of New Jersey, was
the speaker of the evening, and he
presented some interesting facts con.
nected with the history of the Lodge,
He said that Leni Lenape is one
of the few lodges in the State whose
charters have had continuous exis-
tence.
The local Lodge was formed by
Daniel Skinner, Noble Grand; Thorn
as B. Carr, Vice Grand; Martin Cor
yell. secretary; James B. Gray, as
sistant secretary, and DR.. Samuel
Lilly, treasurer. The unbroken his
tory of the Lodges development was

tanned the members by character
reading by Mark Twain, and a ne
gro sermon which was colorful in

Fish Hatchery For
Ingham Spring

Plans are reported under way to
make Ingham Spring Lake, located
on the outskirts of New Hope, a
State Fish Hatchery. The matter
was discussed last week at the meet
ing of the State Board of Fish Com
missioners at Harrisburg, and was
to be considered further by the
Bucks County Fish, Game and For
estry Association at a meeting in
Doylestown, January 9th.
No definite statements have been
made as to the plans, but ii is
understood that the lake, which be-
longs to DR.. r. " Mattison, Of Am
bier, Pa, is not for sale. However,
it is believed that it can be leased
for long period, and surrounding
property can be bought by the State
for reasonable amount.
The hatchery would be operated,
like several others which have al
ready been established, to provide
y4'ng fresh water fish to stock the
str ans of the State. The Bedford
Spi 1gs Meadows, in Bedford Coun-
ty, the location of one hatchery
alrea y established.
Ing lam Spring, which supplies the
lake, s one of the largest in the
country. The water flows from the
spring in tremendous yolumne, and
it never decreases to any appreciable
extent even in the dryest weather
The lake has been pronounced ideal
for the hatchery by William +. Nee
han, sporting tier for t. New
York Herald-Tribune, according to
reports.
Solebury Deer Park, which is a
mecca for picnic parties and summer
campers, is located along the lake
1t is owned by the Association OF
the Seventh Day Adventists, Of Phi l.
adelphia. Members Of this organiza-
ton have camp meetings there dur.
ing the summer, but it is believed
these have not been as successful
as could be hoped.

Thursday

Lambertville-The Riverview Gene
terry Association will hold its fftieth
annual meeting next Thursday at
1880 p. NJ. in the Commission Cham
Der. A president is to be elected at
that time, and Il superintendent of
grounds is also to be selected. The
presidents vacancy was caused by
the death last year of Charles l..
Crimson, who had occupied the dice
about fifteen years.
Some difficulty has been eXper-
fenced in securing superintendent
of grounds, and il is hoped this va
cancy can be settled satisfactorily at
the meeting, The position pays near
ly thousand dollars year, and the
incumbent is always free during the
winter months. Considering the light
duties, it seems that the position
should be specially appealing. W. F.
Hayhurst is secretary of the Assoc

flying expression of the Pennington
Councils appreciation for the cooper
alton of the Lambertville Firemen.
Lambertville firemen and members
of the Union Company who were
present at the Pennington fire, en-
dorsed the article published in this
paper last week. President Nelson
Oblinger, of Union Company, said he
appreciated the com >ous treatment
accorded him by the : sistant Fire
Chief of Pennington, no. tithstand-
ing the fact that Chief Reardon
seemed to resent their aid. He also
said that the statement that the
firemen who accompanied him to
Pennington were a menace to the
efforts of the local, (Flemington),
firemen" was an absolute falsehood.
He said that as soon as he became
convinced that they were not wanted
they had retired in good faith.
