MUTUAL. STACKS
IN TEMPO, WE
LEARN

To tell the truth, as all good
little reviewers should do, the
Evelyn Cunningham show at the
Mutual Theater this week is
sort of slow affair. Perhaps the
weather can be blamed for the
rather listless performance Of
last night, but whatever it was
that caused it, the fact stays that
the performers did not enter into
the spirit of things.
Miss Cunningham, rather good
looking, did her best and she was
in spots quite good. A little more
vim would have saved her per.
Torrance entirely.
A slender brunette, Ida Roberts,
proved to be the outstanding
flash of the performance the
writer witnessed. She has, to
begin with, share of beauty
and a figure that would cause
an artist to rave. but she sang
and smiled and worked as if she
had a million handicaps to over
come instead of none.-L. M. &.

Gen. Andrews, notwithstanding un.
fortunate criticism by some Of the

prohibition enforcement with great
energy and much practical common
sense. His aim particularly has been
to dry up the great sources Of supply,
to halt the flow of immense quantities
of industrial alcohol into the bootleg
trade and to put down as far as pos
sible the importation of big cargoes
of liquor from abroad. Much has
been accomplished through the coast
guard service to halt smuggling
of liquor and Gen. Andrews believes
that much more will result from his
recent trip abroad

Marshall Family Bible
Is Finally Uncovered

To the Editor of The Star
The family Bible of the Marshalls
of Marshall Hall disappeared about
the time Of the outbreak Of the Civil
War, and as some of the members
Of the family went North and some
South, there was much Of an admix-
ture as to who was who.
For over half a century have
been trying to find it, and at last the
book has come to light. An old gentle
man died near Marshall Hall a few
weeks ago and among his effects was
the Bible, which is now in the safe
hands of the lawyer who has the
settlement of the estate. The Marshall
family had it's history from Joshua
Marshall, who first settled at Dunn
fries on the Potomac about 1880, COM
ing from Aberdeen, Scotland. There
are several illustrious names connect
ed with them, including Mrs. U. S.
Grant, who was q Miss Dent, her
mother being a Marshall.

"Once on a Time" in the fairy.tale

Brought wonderful moments to

For mortals had not yet developed
the pow'rs
Which cause us to wonder anew,
There's ship in the air, and a motor

They go on their marvellous ways.
Though "Once on a Time" gentle
thought must command,
We look forward to Zone of These

How fine were the dreams of extrava.

That magical fancy would bring!
But Aladdins now build in day when
they will
And the lightnings by radio sing.
The truth is more strange than the
dreams that are gone.
On the future we're turning our
gaze,
While "Once on Time" is forgot in
the dawn
OF a glorious lone Of These Days!'
