The most interesting feature of
"The Garden of Allah" is the excel
1ence of the "type-actors' that Rex
Ingram has assembled.
They're not really actors at all, but
genuine, unadorned natives of North
Africa. Aside from a few principal
players, there is no one in THE Gar
den of Allah" who needs to be costumed
or grease-painted. Every one of them
is the real thing to begin with, and
every one of them is remarkably good.

reflection of reality that distinguished

The news which came to the Mil
ford Chronicle day before yesterday,
June LIST, told of the serious illness
of one of the men of Sussex county
and a resident of Glendale, who has
been contributing each week a let
ter from Glendale.
Thousands of those who read the
Milford Chronicle each week, will
miss his writings, and have sympa-
thy with his affliction. He is now in
the eightieth year of his age, and
Joshua A. Ellegood has stood for
that which he believed to be for the
best interest of all the people, IN
morals, in government and public
welfare, as we'll as for the schools
and church.
The sympathy of those who have
read his letters each week, Will
mingle with that of his personal
friends, and the hope for his recov-
cry will be unanimous. The letter
informing the Chronicle Of his ill
ness reached us Wednesday and is
as follows:
Col. Theo. Townsend
Milford, Delaware
Dear Sir:-Mr. Ellegood had an
attack of aphasia last Monday NOR
ming at five-thirty o'clock.
Up to the present time he hasn't
regained his speech, although he
seems better, and has taken food to-
day.
He wanted you to know why he
hadn't written letter this week.
He will not write any more this
summer.
1 remain sincerely yours,
MISS MAY THAYER,
June 1; 1927. Glendale, Del.
The ripened thought of Mr.. Ellie
good gave to his writing a force and
carrying power that can only come
from experience and observation of
worldly affairs; so, for that reason
his letters will be missed. For forty
nine years there have been weekly
letters printed in the Chronicle from
Glendale, and we shall make an eff
fort to secure some one with an in
terest in their home town and its
welfare, as well as in their own in
terest and pleasure, to write the To-
cal news each week from Glendale.
There is an opportunity to exercise
and train the mind and get the hab-
it of organization, by writing a week
ly letter from town of the impor-
tance of Glendale. If such there be,
and we believe there are more than
one, the opportunity is open for
making application to the Chronicle
for the position, which requires but
little time and will be pleasure to
perform. Call or write.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Gilbert spent
the holidays with Mr.. and Mrs. 1. F.
Warren. While in Glendale they
were dinner guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
