Screen and Stage
Strand Theatre. Smyrna

Friday and Saturday American
history y-never-failing source of inspi-
ration to novelists, poets, playwrights
and scenarists-has yielded up anoth-
er stirring drama for the motion pic
ture screen. This time the most col
orful character in the lore Of the ma
tion's most colorful state is depicted
in a powerful melodrama. The char
acter is Joaquin Mu1Tieta, Spanish
bandit who helped rescue California
from the grip of terror which follow
ed the gold rush Of 1849. The picture
'@The Gay Defender" with Richard Dix
starred in the central role, is said to
be the most romantic characterization
in his career. Murrieta, California
history relates, was strangely enough
a resident of Los Angeles, where rs
years later his life was done into cell
luloid by Dix. Scion of an aristocratic
Mexican family, the youth turned to
banditry only when his brother was
hanged and his wife tortured by
American desperadoes whose heavy
handed attempts to take justice into
their own hands was a phase of the
story period of the gold rush. Vowing
vengeance, Murrieta set out to win
retribution, and in the short but
eventful three years that elapsed be-
fore sheriff's bullet killed him, the
vow had grown to the proportions of
a sacred passion. At one time, Muir
rieta had more than 1000 followers
and was bent on no less a project than
driving every American out Of the
state of California.

PRIZE winner ROLLS IN

Paris ToiIer Gets 10000 Francs but
Has to Spend All in 120
Minutes.

Paris.-The spectacle of a man
spending under cOmpulsiOn, 10000
francs in two hours recently caused
much amusement TO those who We're
privileged to know Of the perform
ance. 1t was brought about by the
periodical "Candide," which awarded.
in a certain competition, prize of
10000 francs, on the condition that the
winner should spend it all within the
space of two hours lie was of course
to be closely watched by representa-
tives of the periodical during that
time, not merely to make sure that
he spent all the money, but also-and
indeed chiefy-to observe how he
spent it and thus obtain material for
an interesting story about the man
ner in which a Partisan, unused to
luxury, would spend a suddenly ac-
quired fortune.
The winner Of the prize was NJ
Gravier, a bank clerk on a small sal
airy. On receiving the money he as
sumed the name of 'Nfr. Barnabooth." !"
pretending to be an American million
aire. His first performance at the be-
ginning of the twO-hOur period was
to hire the most luxurious and expen-
sive automobile he could find, of
course with a liveried chauffeur, and
then to drive in 1t to a travellers of
flee to order for himself and family a

Of his money converted into English
money, to the extent of ten pounds

who opened for him the door of his
automobile when he emerged from the
office.
Next he secured for the evening a
high-priced box at the opera, halting
on the way to bestOw aims Of 1000
francs upon ragged beggar woman
at street corner A box of the most
expensive imported cigars and cost
ly cigar case further depleted his
funds. and then he went to one OF the
most fashionable restaurants and or
dered a sumptuous dinner. including
the most costly bottle of wine that
he could discover on the list The net
result was that within the two hours
he so completely accustomed himself
to the role of a millionaire American
that he actually overran his prize
money and spent 200 francs of his
own meager funds

BUILD SLAUGHTER BEACH ROAD
Committee Told that the Highway De-
partment Expects To Take Up Work

The State Highway Department
plans to build the road leading from
the Milford -Rehoboth highway to
Slaughter Beach this year. This IN
formation was given to a committee
of Milford citizens who summer at
the beach, when they appeared be-
fore the commission last week. The
project was put on the recommended
list last year and hopes We're enter
tanned by residents of Slaughter Neck
that it would be built last season.
Other work consumed the funds Of
the department, however, so the work
had to lay over. This road, about
four miles in length, is badly needed.
1. will not only be a great convenience
to the cottagers at Slaughter Beach,
but it will also give the residents of
that rich farming district better facil-
tiles for travelling during the winter
months when the dirt roads are usual
~ bad Just when the work will be
started is not known; but it is thought
