NORMA TALMADGE BOBBED
CAMILLE IN LATEST FILM

Norma Talmadge in the title roll
of her unique, modern version of
Camille, the famous romance of
Alexandra Dumas the younger, is
the treat in store for the patrons
of the Plaza Theatre, beginning
next Wednesday, December 81.
The story of the screen ga
MILE, while following closely the
theme and spirit of the classical
romance, is visualized in settings
of the present day. The Lady Of
the Camellias," most celebrated of
all the Partisan demi-mondaines,
is interpreted by Miss Talmadge as
a captivating, brilliantly gowned,
bobbed haired heartbreaker of the
present generation.
Desiring to make Camille" one
of the outstanding triumphs in
Norma's career, Joseph M.
Schenck, who produced the pic
ture for First National release, re-
cruited a notable cast for the
modern perturbation of the Dumas
classic, and assigned Fred Niblo
as director.
Gilbert Roland, a young Spanish
actor who recently was placed I'M
der a long-term contract by the
Schenck organization, appears as
Armand, the impetuous young
lover of Camille. Lilyan Tash-
man and Rose Dione have import
ant roles as "Olympe" and "Pru-
dence" respectively. Portraying
the various wealthy and titled adj
mirers of the Lady of the Camel
las" Harvey Clark is cast as "The
Baron" Other supporting players
are Helen Jerome Eddy, Albert
Cont, Michael Viseroff, Evelyn
Selbie and Eta Lee.
Fred de Gresac wrote the 1927
adaptation of Camille" and Chand-
Ter Sprague and Olga Printzlau
prepared the continuity. Oliver
Marsh is the chief cinematographer
and the settings are the work of
William Cameron Menzies.

period of one year. The average
cost of producing eggs was found to
be Alb cents a dozen, and each
flock laid on the average of 142 eggs
per bird during the year, based on
the monthly average. These Long

average 4S cents per dozen for their

NEW CASTLE FARMERS
LOSE MANY CATTLE
CContinusd from first Page1


New Castle county caused by the
losses sustained by tubercular cat
tie in their herds. The government
agents have been inspecting the cat
tie for several weeks around St
Georges, Kirkwood, Summit Bridge
and Red Lion, and in many instan-
ces practically entire herds have
been killed because of failure to
pass the test. The loss to the farm
ers has been immense, even though
the Federal Government and the
State paws the farmer considerable
mart of the value of the COW. Los
ing just one or two COWS would not
have been particularly felt by tne
farmers but losing a good portion Oh
the herd has not only deprived the
farmer of the COWS but the loss IN
not having any milk to ship mas
been felt even more.
The directors of the st. Georges
Trust Company, several OF Wnom
were one time farmers, have had
several special meetings lately ana
}haye about worked out plan oil
financial relief for the teant farm
ers who want to buy COWS to replen-
ish their herds. 1t was not definite
ly stated just what form the relieI
would take but it is expected TO De
a loan from the bank on notes to
run for a period of a year or more
The large dairy companies are par
tioularly interested in having all the
nners have only credited herds OF
cattle. such as the Supplee-W1llls-
Jones Company of Philadelphia, who
take the greater part, of the milk
from the affected section. 1t is gen
orally realized that it is only mat
ter of time before government regu-
lations will require all milk SOLD 10
the public to come from tested anu
credited cattle. The farmers them
selves want the credited herds, but,
in many instances, are unable TO
finance the acquisition of the cattle.
It is said that the price of tested
cattle has gone up over so per cent
in the past six months due to the
wedding out of the tubercular cattle
all over the country. Practically all
the COWS being brought in for local
herds come. from the south, $3.50 is
about the cheapest price that test
ed COW can be purchased for.
The estimated loss to the farmers
in the past few months due to not
having much milk to sell is from
100000 to $4,000. Anything that eff
fects the farmers to such an extent
effects the entire surrounding COM
munities. Sussex and Kent counties
went through the Tuberculine test
period several years ago.
