COLISEUM HAS 'ONCE A SINNER
 FOR HEADLINER
Dorothy M a C k aill Ha $ Leading Role in Modern
 Magdalen Play

Once Sinner" which begins showing tonight at the Coliseum theatre, is a daring drama of a modern Magdalen which asks and answers the cid, yet ever new question, DO girls past life and sins belong to herSelf?"
 On the organ tonight, Rex Par ro.t will play Moonlight Bay by Edward Madden, and My Irish Molly O" and medley of Irish songs. This is Family Night" The whole family will be admitted on one ticket.
 When Dorothy Mackaill was first informed that she had been chos- en to portray the leading char acter in the play Once a Sinner, a sparkle came into her large and expressive blue eyes.
 Delighted With Role
 Tt is just the type Of role I enjoy playing" said Miss Mackaill, flor it not only teaches a lesson, but is true to life. If a mans past before his marriage belongs to himself, why should a wonman reveal hers? The less a man knows about a woman's past life, the better off both of them are. for it is this very knowledge which causes most of the marital trouble and many of our divorces.
 My advice to any young wife or sweetheart is if you wish to hold your man, hold your tongue"
 Joel McCrsa interprets the lead ing male character. Miss Mackaills young and jealous husband, who while he could forgive her past sins. could not forget htem.

Wild Turkeys Are On Increase

Wild turkeys, once threatened with
extinction in Maryland, are increas-
ing in numbers, E. Lee LeCompte,
State Game warden, has reported.
About ten years ago game officials
feared the wild turkey was going to
join the passenger pigeon in museums.
A propagation program, coupled with
stringent conservation laws, however,
has served to preserve the fowl, Mr..
LeCompte added.
Stocking of woodlands in Western
Maryland began about five years ago.
During the 1929 season about $40 wild
turkeys were bagged by hunters, the
game warden said. The bag last
winter was cut to about 575. This
was caused chiefly by the fact that
forest fires destroyed large numbers
of nesting turkeys, he asserted.

Fish Still Biting

ned another fishing trip to Stanton's
Dam, near Grantsville, Md, and took
with them Edward Haselbarth, Jr., a
nephew of the other Edward, to give
him some lessons in expert sucker
fishing. They came home with a nice
lot of suckers, even though the water
was too high. The three old-timers,
however, were not much pleased, be-
cause the young fellow they took with
them to be instructed in expert ang-
ling proved himself more expert than
they were. At any rate he caught
about all of the fish they brought
home with them, except a few small
sunfish, which the would-be instruc-
tors caught.-Meyersdale Republican.
