ent role at the Earle Theater beginning

irving to be a member Of a carnival
aerial troupe, winning the love OF q
pretty girl member and incurring the
mortal enmity of the troupe's star, an
unsuccessful suitor for the hand o. the
girl acrobat. The climax arrives when
the jealous suitor chooses time ana

RIALTo-"HOld Your Man."

She wanted romance, and she is said
to have found more kinds than she
wanted in Hold Your Man." the talk
ing farce-comedy starring Laura La
Plante, which comes to the Rialto Thea
ter for a special engagement OF f1ve
days only, starting Friday.
Hold Your Man" is described as one
of the most amusing comedies in Miss
La Plante's long list of sensational sue
cesses. It deals with the temporary
rift in the domestic felicity Of young
American couple, caused by the girls
desire to go to Paris to study art. In
Paris she finds romance in the person
of an ardent Latin, who poses both as
an apache and nobleman-and turns
out to be neither. What she does
when her husband comes to Paris with
a girl whom he intends to marry as
soon as the divorce law allows forms
the basis for all sorts of complications.
Walter Scott, a Washington boy,
plays opposite Miss La Plante.

LATEST 'GONE WOLF"
PICTURE ACCLAIMED
BY LARGE AUDIENCE

Another of the famous Lone
Wolf" stories by Louis Joseph Vance
has been made into a photozdrama
by Columbia Pictures and is being
shown at the New Plaza Theatre on
June II and 18 under the title of
"The Lone VOLTS Daughter, Those
who have witnessed the previous re-
leases of the adventures of the
cracksman will find this picture in
many ways superior to the others.
1t is perhaps the best of the Vance
stories and surely contains more ac-
ton than the others.
This time we see the Lone Wolf
engaged in preventing his past from
becoming known and injuring his
adopted daughters chances of mar
riage to the son of an aristocratic
and wealthy New York family. Bert
Lytell is cast in the stellar role, a
character which he created for the
screen and one in which he has won
an enviable reputation. 1t would be
difficult to picture any other actor
portraying the Lone Wolf"
The production was made under
the direction of Albert S. Rogell
with a cast including Gertrude Ohm
stead, Charles Gerard, Lilyan Tash-
man, Donald Keith, Florence Allen,
Robert Elliott and Ruth Cherring-
ton.
television set provides one of the
thrills of the picture and proved
highly entertaining to the audience.
Scenes showing the broadcasting
and reception of images over radio
have been introduced into the action.
Other high lights are an art auction
in which many rare antiques are
shown, hair-raising automobile
ride over wild stretch of road and
a poignant love story.

COL. LINDBERGE'S WIFE
FIRST BOOSNR FOR COOLIDGE

Miss Anne Morrow who recently
married Col. Charles A. Lindbergh,
was a picker of celebrities even as
schoolgirl, her father, Dwight
Morrow, Ambassador to Mexico, has
just disclosed. In those days she be-
came a champion for Calvin Cool
1dge, said the Ambassador, who is
quoted by Will Rogers in The Am
erican Magazine.
"The first time we ever entertain
ed the Coolidges when our children
were present." Morrow told Rogers,
"was at a hotel in Boston just after
Mr.. Coolidge had been governor.
There were several in the party. My
daughter Anne had her finger tied up
from some trivial accident. After the
company had all gone the girls were
all remarking how quiet Gov. Cool
idge was and that he had hardly
spoken to anybody during the whole
evening. Then Anne spoke up and
said, Well, like him; 1 think he is
fine. He is the only one in the whole
party all evening who noticed that
my finger was hurt
"Now that is just what he would
do. He could do it without chance
of being quoted" the Ambassador
according to Rogers. "He
would discuss sore fingers lots
quicker than he would subjects of
State" n

IMPORTANT FACTS
ABOUT PAINTING
Marie Hulser-

Il
Exterior painting may sound like
a dull, prosaic subject, the details
somewhat involved. But in truth
the facts that make for good job
are few and it is to your interest to
know them. In other lines of home
expenditure one doesn't order the
work to be done and hope for the
best. Familiarity with the essentials
insure you the best. And so with
painting.
The important factors that make
for an attractive and enduring coat
ing are as follows: Do not permit
painting to begin on your home
when the thermometer is below for
ty degrees, or is apt to descend to
that figure due to a cold spell. The
temperature should average between
forty and eighty degrees. Equally
important painting should never be
done on damp wood nor during
damp spell, when there is moisture
in the air. The moisture will per-
ceptibly affect the paint film, caus-
ing paint defects. Dry wood, dry
weather and proper temperature are
the first essentials in getting good
results.
Next-good quality paint should be
used. There is no economy in cheap
paint, since if it is of poor manufac-
ture and inferior quality, it will not
stand up under changing climate.
Too, its coverage is less than that of
good paint. Good workmanship is

"The Old Age Pension Bill Still
Survives in Dear Old Delaware"
Laura Calhoun Walls, a Delaware
school teacher from Lincoln, re-
quests the following information to
be advertised:
wish to announce to the citizens
of Delaware that 1 have been ap-
pointed by a private individual, to
canvass Delaware, during my vaca-
ton, with the view of locating such
old people, who are over IS years of
age, who either by misfortune or ill
health, are unable to have the real
necessities of life and are very much
in need of assistance. Those who are
eligible will be enrolled on the pen
sion list, and financed by a private
party, until the meeting of the next
legislature. Never in the history of
Delaware has any one individual Of
fered to do greater and nobler work
than this. The name will be made
known later.
1t has always been the dream of
my life, to do something in the be-
half of the poor, to add to their
comfort and happiness.
May God speed the day when the
poor house doors will be closed, and
those poor, unfortunate, respondent
people, will enjoy an equal blessing
with us, and that great blessing is
ITO be SO financially provided for,
that they may have the privilege to
live where they are the happiest.
A definite plan has been arranged
to carry this work out. I will hold a
conference with the District Super
intendents, and heads of various re-
ligious denominations of Delaware,
and make a thorough explanation of
my plan of work. They will be elect
ed chairmen of this work. They will
then elect the ministers of their dis
trict sub-chairmen, and each minis
ter ION his circuit) will be asked
with the help of his congregation)
to report the names to me. There
will then be a final investigation, so
that we may be sure the. greatest
precaution has been taken, to enter
on the pension list, only the worthy
ones.

sired and the enrolment completed

REPORTED BY THE FRESHMAN ENGLISH CLASS

The majority of the freshman
class are looking forward to enter
ing the sophomore class next year.
We have studied faithfully, worked
hard, struggled to maintain the
ideals which we brought from the
grammar school, and now we hope
to reap our reward by passing on
to the higher grades.
We have taken the first step in the
newer, harder realm that prepares
us for good womanhood and man
hood. After the baby takes its first
step, it walks easily very coon. Thus
when we find that we are really able
to do the work required of us, we do
not find it so hard thereafter.

press its gratitude to Colonel Theo-

THE CAMEL

The camel, at the close of day,
Kneels down upon the sandy plain
To have his burdens lifted off,
And rest to gain.
My soul, thou too should'st to thy
knees,
When daylight draweth to a close
And let the Master lift the load
And grant repose.
Else how could'st thou tomorrow
meet,
With all tomorrow's work to do,
If thou thy burden all the night
Dost carry through.
The camel kneels at break of day,
To have his guide replace his
load,
Then rises u panew to take
The desert road.
So thou should'st kneel at morn
ing's dawn,
That God may give thee daily
care,
Assured that He no load too great
Will make thee bear.

MILFORD, FRIDAY, JUNE IA, 1929
THE MILFORD CHRONICLE

THE MILFORD CHRONICLE
would like to make a suggestion,
which is referred to the general pub
lie, and any persons who may have
influence in certain directions.
1t relates to motion picture films,
as a possible means of working for
good citizenship and community i'm
provement. Picture films are used
by many churches to interest people
in religion, by many schools and
colleges to promote education. They
would be equally valuable to pro-
mote the cause of community i'm
provement.
Many thinkers say that people
are so absorbed in money getting
and pleasure seeking now, that they
have no time to think about good
citizenship and community improve
ment. If so, we need little COM
munity propaganda to wake them
up on these subjects.
1t would be a wonderful thing, if
there were available sets of picture
films illustrating ideas that people
as citizens need to realize and act
, upon. In spring, for instance, a
film illustrating the advantages of
cleaning up and beautifying home
grounds, would be splendid infiu-
ence. Just before election day, a
film illustrating the reasons for get
ting out to the polls would be fine.
One would think that if such films
were cleverly staged with good act
ing and photography, and if bit of
interesting story was woven into
them, that many theater managers
would be glad to obtain and show
them, if these pictures were not too
long. If made interesting with hum
orous and romantic touches, people
would gladly see them. In that way
it would be possible to profoundly |
influence the people in certain di-
rections where they are frequently |
neglectful.
If some philanthropists or educa-
tional or citizenship agencies could |
provide for producing and distri-
buting such films, they would ac-
complish wonderful lot of good.

ford Chronicle, for the opportunity
that has been so kindly given us to
report the happenings throughout
the school. This opportunity has en-
couraged the English students and
enlivened us to do our best so that
the school column would make a
good showing. 1t has given us a
chance to see what real newspaper
work is like and perhaps in this
manner has shown some OF us our
life work.
1t has given the grammar school
and high school the chance to be-
come more closely associated and

us feel our relationship in that each
must have the cooperation of the
other, not only in the newspaper
work, but in everything that is
