New Dover Opera House. Dover

Wednesday and Thursday - No
more ideal play for the animated
talents of Miss Clara Bow has ever
been chosen than her latest We
hicle, "The Wild Party" "The
Wild Party" is a vivacious, fast
moving production based on the
story by Warner Fabian, famous
author of popular novels of the
jazz age. There are several real
wild parties in the play, and their
watchword seems to be, "When bet
ter whoopee is made, Clara will
make it." Girls who are known
throughout filmdom for their "It"
qualities take part in the produc-
ton. Dorothy Arzner, director of
\ the picture, spent considerable time
selecting the desired types Of
whoopee-nlaking pep sisters to fill
the rolees of members of Clara's
''gang" in the play.
Talkies Opening at Dover Soon
Talkies are assured for patrons
of the New Dover Opera House
with the announcement today by
George NJ. Schwartz, that the grand
opening will take place on Monday,
June 18th. With the installation
Of the sound equipment, the Opera
House will present the world-fam-
ed stars of screen and stage in the
same Mariner as the larger houses
in New York and Philadelphia.
The equipment being installed, is of
the latest type and has been select
ed because of its accuracy of re-
production and natural tone. At
ter years Of intensive work on the
part of research engineers, this ap-
paratus has evolved to its present
state Of perfection, being entirely
past the experimental stage. The
operation Of the sound reproducing
equipment is Of a very complicated
nature requiring great skill and
care in operation. After the sound
is taken from the disc or film track,
the vibrations enter the battery of
powerful ampliiers, not unlike
radio tubes, which step up the cur
rent and pass it on to the huge
speakers on the stage. So delicate
are these reproducers that any
sound from a whisper to the crash
of the cymbal, or the shrek Of the
siren-all 50 realistic that one be
comes engrosSed in the story and
feels thar he is himself a partici-
pant rather than a spectator. For
sometime the people of Central
Delaware have been looking for
ward to the coming of the sound
pictures to Dover and many will
welcome this latest triumph of the
screen. The opening picture, which
will be the latest hit from Broad
way, will be announced in a few
days.

HOME TALENT CHAUTAUQUA
Entertainment Presented In Public
Hall Wins Much Praise.

The Home Talent Chautauqua
given in the public hall of this town
on Tuesday and Thursday evenings,
was one of the best ever presented
here, drawing full houses, winning
universal praise, and revealing the
wealth of talent to be found right
here in our midst.
The novel entertainment had its
inception with Mrs. A. M. McNamee,
who in addition to being the pro-
noting spirit took active part as di-
rector and rendered impersonations
in her usual inimitable manner.
Miss Verna Grason gave able assist
ance in organizing and directing.
The program was varied one,
and was supposed to embrace a five
day Chautauqua in one evening. 1t
was so well carried out, that every
individual taking part deserves
praise, but space will not permit de-
called mention.
Mrs. McNamee and Miss Grason
acted as Superintendents, DR.. r. c..
Dodson assisting. The program en-
braced the following:
First day-Sunrise Orchestra.
Lecture.
Second day-Madam Dorothy's
Midgets: eighteen little tots in vocal
and instrumental music.
Third day-Rainbow Girls; five
accomplished young ladies in instru-
mental and vocal selections, with
reader.
Fourth day-Debutant Dancers,
two young girls; cartoonist and
novelty entertainers, with imper-
senator.
Fifth day-Hopewell Ladies' Min
strels; ten members of Hopewell
Community Club, cleverly weaving
the Club activities into their songs
and sketches, and cracking numer-
Gus jokes at the expense of local
people.
The proceeds of the entertainment
will be devoted to the Chautauqua
fund, and represent a snug sum.
