LON CHANEY AND RENEE
ADOREE IN AMAZING DRAMA OF
"MR- WI" AT ARCADIA, WILL
MINGTON, WEEK OF JULY 18th.

Thrills of a new kind; the haunt
ing mystery of the mysterious Ori-
ent, with codes and philosophers
that almost pass the Westerner's
belief. these garnishing a romance
as delicate as the lotus flower, mark
Lon Chaney's new triumph on the
screen, Mr.. WI" which will be seen
at the Arcadia Theatre, Wilmington
for the entire week of July 18th.
las is usually the case in his out
standing plays, CLANCY uses intri-
cate makeup for an intricate char
acter; but this time he goes beyond
his usual portrayal. He invades
another race for his character, as
the silent, subtle and sinister man
darian, verSed in the knowledge of
ages, almost uncanny in his insight
into human character and his enor-
nous power, pursuing his relentless
program OF revenge against fam
lily who had wronged him.
The dramatic climax, in which
woman's intuition is pitted against
the wisdom of the Orient, in a des-
perate duel of wits between Clancy
and Louise Dresser, with the life of
her son as the stake, is one of the
most astounding pieces of dramatic
action the screen has ever. seen.
Renee Adoree and Ralph Forbes
are the lovers in the story, whose
romance is so dramatically unfolded.

STATE LANDS TO
Be IMPROVED
Commission Will Build Road
From RehObOth To Dewey
Beach.

The Public Lands Commission
met at the Belhaven Hotel at Re-
hoboth Saturday to confer with 10
cal citizens and to inspect the locat-
ion of the proposed new road lead
ing from the end of Bayard avenue
to Dewey Beach. The commission
ers present were: Harry ]. Ander-

Engineer C. d. Buck, John Kitchens

property owners along the right of
way of the new road were also pre-
sent.
The entire party went over the
route of the proposed road from the
county bridge which spans Silver
Lake through the holdings of the
commission to Rehoboth Bay. Harry
]. Anderson, president of the COM
mission, expressed the opinion that
such a road would be beneficial and
increase the value of the State
lands. The commissioners asked Mr..
Buck to make a survey and report
his findings together with recon-
mendations and estimates of the
costs of various types of road suit
able to the circumstances.
The commission, under an act of
our Legislature, was authorized to
use certain funds on hand to build
a road or roads through State lands
to help enhance the value of such
lands. The bill provides that 25 per
cent of the cost of such road be
secured from adjoining land owners.
Local citizens have secured the con-
sent of the land owners to put up
the required 25 per cent of the cost
This stretch of road would be the
first link in the proposed Ocean
Boulevard from Lewes to Ocean
City which has aroused interest and
considerable favorable comment and
which also has the endorsement of
Governor Robert P. Robinson and
other prominent Delawareans.
