Some Of the talking pictures that

ductions Of stage plays THE Letter"

example, are recorded almost word for
word, But such pictures are hardly to
be accepted as typical Of the new order
They merely prove that the movie now
has greater scorA-that &c can include
. wider variety OF entertainment. The
fact that We may now see and hear
stage plays on the screen needn't and
doesn't mean that We will never see any
more movies
The essential technique Of "The
Broadway Melody" Is that Of the screen,
not OF the stage. This picture would
sttn be entertaining II the sound track
were removed and subtitles inserted.

Up to now. the talkies have been ig-
nored by most of the real artists Of the

Others Though some of these are to
be heard from soon). When such ar
lists co experiment with the new
medium, and we are permitted TO see
the results Of their experiments, we
shall realize that the moving picture
art has not been rlthlessly butchered-
It has merely learned how to be more

directed by David Helasco, who has of
fered his services gratis In the capacity
Of director.
The fact that Mr.. Gest and Mr., Be-
lasco have become connected with THE
Passion Play in this country should be
assurance that the reverential attitude
established during the many centuries
the play has been presented In Freiburg
will be maintained in this country,
There wiz be no attempt to translate
the ancient story into the polished dra-
matte terminology Of the twentieth
century stage. Every effort viii be made
TO retain that version Of the manuscript
the INTERPRETATION Of which was given
special notice and commentator by
Pope Urban Nv In 1854. when the Frei-
burg players won praise for their efforts
to rid the sacred story OF the gross In
cidents typical Of that virile and war
like period.
The present group Of players from
FreihurT Is headed by the Fassnacht
family, who have presented The Pas
sion Play" since 1880. handing down the

NATIONAL PLAYERS-"What Every
Woman Knows."
The National Theater Players next
week viii revive Sir J. M. Barrie's cele-
brated comedy, what Every Woman
Knows"
Barrie's play was last seen In wash
ington with Helen Hayes In the famous
role Of Maggie Wylie. Before that the
play had not been seen in Washington
on the professional stage since the time
that Maud Adams created the original
role. So great was the demand for
seats ut the Helen Hayes revival that
most Of Washington failed to see the
play which could easily have run here two
or three weeks. according to seasoned
old theater men, and in bringing II
back the National Theater Players have
hopes Of breaking all records for Sum
mer production. ri
In the quaint love story Of Maggie
Wylie and John Shand, Barrie. the
whimsical. has epitomized most all OF
life, as seen through the eyes Of the
dreamers. Maggie Wylie Is said to be
q pattern OF his own mother, and this
strange little character, who hides her
self always behind the rugged form OF
John Shand, her husband, proves to be
the ideal wife, the true helpmate.
The National Theater Players have
resorted to many playwrightS for theil
material. This play viii mark thei,
first effort with Barrie play.

WHEN CAR HITS LE|PSIC BRIDGE
WAS RETURNING FROM LEIPSIC
SHORTLY AFTER 9 LAST NIGHT
His Body Was Pierced by a Protrud.
ing Piece of the Iron Structure of

A shocking accident took place on
the Smyrna-Leipsic road, at the bridge
spanning Leipsic Creek, between nine

OF his car and ran into the bridge, an
IRON protrusion Of which pierced his

Motor Car Company of Dover. had
been working around Leipsic ali dav
demonstrating cars and had made two
or three sales. He was returning
home and had crossed the causewav
and bridge. He had hardly gotten
far, it appears, when he started back
probably to see a customer to tell him
something he had overlooked, when
the accident occurred. His car was
completely demolished. Later Mr..
Smith was taken out of the wreckage
but was pronounced as having met
instant death. His remains were
brought to Smyrna and the coroner Of
Kent county notified. Mr.. Smith is

HYNSON DRY BILL SHOWS LIFE
Still Locked Up With Temperance
Committee But May be Called Out

Rumors were current Monday that
the Hynson dry bill which passed the
House but was sent to the committee
on temperance in the Legislature
where it was supposed to be dead, is
not so dead as suspected. One report
was that later on majority of the
committee would give the bill a favor
able report while the other was that
the Democrats would join with the drv
Senators on the Republican side in
calling the bill out of committee. The
statement was made at the time that
the bill was committed to the commit
tee on temperance that if the bill had
been presented to the Senate in its
original shape they would have voted
for it, but they objected to the Repub-
llcans making a party measure out of
the bill and to the Rev. E. C. Pretty
man, superintendent of the Anti-Sa-
loon League, agreeing with the Re-
publicans to amend the bill without
consulting the Democrats as well. It
was rumored Monday that the Demo-
Gratis are still willing to vote for the
bill in its original shape without the
proposed. The Demo-
Gratis are in favor Of passing the bill
and sending it to the Governor for his

100000 CHICKS EVERY 21 DAYS
This is Record Being Established
Down Around Georgetown

While the poultry industry is grow
ing apace in Smyrna and vicinity and
the large incubators of w. G. Anthony
of the Bannister Hall Poultry Farm
and others are stepping up production
every year, there is a section down in
Sussex County, within a radius of two
and one-half miles of Georgetown, rec
ognized as one of the poultry centers
of lower Delaware and the Delmarva
Peninsula, there are more chicks
Matched annually than probably any
other area along the Atlantic Sea-
board. In that section three hatcher
les are turning out half million chicks
every twenty-one days. The season
has been under way since the first of
the year and will continue until June.
Some of them started operations last
fall. At this time there are ten large
incubators in operation which within
the next two weeks will turn out
100000 chicks, most of which have
been sold to poultry raisers and pro-
ducers of broilers in the East. The
demand at this time is far greater
than the supply, owing to the fact
that so many of the farmers are 20
ing into the broiler business. There
are many farmers who this year will
buy 1000 and 5000 day-old chicks.
half Of which will be grown to broil-
er size for the markets of Whining
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chester.
and New York by the middle of Nav.
The remainder will be retained for
laying purposes this fall and winter.
The broiler business this spring will
mean many thousands Of dollars to
the farmers of lower Delaware. Most |
of the broiler growers figure that they
will be able to realize 81 for broilers. |
when placed on the market within the
lext seven or eight weeks.
