Double Features
 at the Garden
Marilyn Miller in Her Great
 Hit Sunny"

All of Marilyn Miller's art as an actress, dancer, and a singer come to the fore in Sunny the First National and, Vitaphone version of her famous musical comedy which ran for three years on Broadway.
 Miss Miller is to-day recognized as the outstanding star of musical comedy, and is one of the brightest luminaries in filmdom. Her. picture, Sally" broke all box office records for the year, and Sunny is being hailed as an even greater success. It comes to the Garden theater Sun day for three day showing.
 There are four songs and three dances in Sunny" but there are no ensemble choruses. All the dances are by Miss Miller alone, or accom- panied by the versatile Joe Donahue, of the Irish smile, who played with her on the stage.
 The plot of sunny" bubbles over with humor, romance, and tom- foolery, and gives complete play to all of Miss Miller's varied accom- plishments as we'll as to her beauty and her vivid personality.
 One of the strongest casts of the year has been assembled by Director William A. Setter for Sunny" It includes, in addition to Joe Donahue, Lawrence Gray, O. P. Heggie, 1nez Courtney, Judith Vosselli. Barbara Bedford, Clyde Cook, Mackenzie Ward, and many others.
 The companion feature is "The Eyes of the World" from the story by Harold Bell Wright. Millions loved it as a novel! The amazing book sensation of fiction's great au- thor has become even more enter taining as talking picture. Here is the drama of love in the great modern west. Seductive, unscrupu- louis, married siren tries to cast a spell over young artist only to find herself hopelessly outrivalled by a wholesome young beauty. She plots the girls undoing, and the struggle between good and evil, love and hate begins. It's dramatic power will sweep you to new heights of emotion. Vivid! Stirring! with Una Merkel.

Million Dollar
 Cast With Doug
Fairbanks Thrills in 'Reach- ing for the MO0n' at
 The State

Douglas Fairbanks has thrown aside armor, steed, sword and buck Ter for the first time in ten years has attired himself in a well-fitting business suit-has exchanged battle ments for a penthouse apartment topping a skyscraper-and the result is the happiest mixture of entertain ment the year has brought forth.
 The picture is Reaching For the Moon," for United Artists. written and directed by Edmund Goulding whom they call the most versatile man in Hollywood, and it opened to- day at the State theater. with Bebe Daniels as the dazzling object of Fairbanks affections3
 The story and dialogue are smart and sophisticated, the action is TO- mantle and rapid, the settings range from fashionable New York to a luxurious liner at sea, and there is a bountiful seasoning of comedy. And when the last word is said about lovely women, it should be in connection with the hand-picked beauties who glide through the scenes of Reaching For the Moon."
 They called it million dollar cast when the filming was going on at United Artists, and glance at the names seems to make the sum fall short. For, in addition to Fair banks and Daniels there are Edward Everett Horton, sure-fire farceur; Jack Mulhall, star in his own right; Claud Allister, the comic Britisher; June MacCloy, gorgeous to gaze upon; Luana Walters, a new beauty; and such veteran troupers as Emmett Corrigan, Walter Wal TzI- dsin a d'Ambricourt and Phil Tead.
 Fairbanks plays the role of a dynamic young stock broker who is so busy playing the game of finance that he has somehow lost sight of love. That is, until Bebe Daniels, portraying a society aviatrix comes along and makes him realize he has missed the most important thing in his life.
 Just about the time this weighty thought takes possession of him Bebe starts for Europe with a group of debs to take part in an air meet in England and Doug has to hustle to catch the boat.
 Even when he catches up with Bebe a new complication floors him in the discovery that she is engaged to marry Sir Horace Partington- Chelmsford. And, on top of this, his absence from the busy mart of stocks costs him his fortune.
 However, nothing can stop the hard driving young American, and a solution is worked out before the ship docks at Southampton agree able to everyone and heady with laughs and thrills.
 The settings of the picture are magnificent and were created by William Cameron Menzies who was given a free rein in backgrounding the film according to his unrepressed modernistic ideas. The costumes vie with the settings in 1avishness an effort having been made, and successfully, too. to anticipate the fashions of a couple of years hence
 Reaching For the Moon" is a picture in Keeping with the times or ahead of it-and Fairbanks gives a whirlwind performance and proves he needs no bizarre locale or char acterization to bring out his dash ing, romantic temperament.
 It's top entertainment and very very new. r4. S
 As an added attraction Stan Laurel and Olive Hardy are to be seen ir their latest mirthquake, Chickens Come Home."

Lowe Tops Bill
 at The Lyric

Edmund Lowe's greatest ambition, despite his overwhelming success as an audible screen favorite, is to lead an orchestra through the movements of a Beethoven symphony and to qualify as a railroad engineer.
 These accomplishments, if satis- fled, would certainly mark him as a versatile young man, inasmuch as he already holds a degree in the oretical pedagogy at Santa Clara, and farms 1,200 acres at Skyland, in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Cal ifornia.
 To the casual or constant theater- goer, Lowe will always be remem- bered as the creator of the screen role of Quirt in What Price Glory'' and '"The Cock Eyed World" Hard ly any slang expression is as com monly used to-day as the one he and Victor MacLaglen brought into international prominence, "Sez you" "Sez mel" However, he is far from the stamped one-type player. His sauve gentlemanly or his tough gangster roles are all distinctly etched characterizations.
 Between the pursuit of his many interests, he yet finds time, some how, to continue turning out suc- cessful pictures for Fox Movietone, his latest being 'Men On Call," fea- turing Lowe, and William Harrigan, Mae Clarke and Warren Hymer in support, which is to open at the Ly- ric theater Sunday.

They are empowered to administer

shall receive compensation from
State for assisting in the extin-

Penalties under the law provide

negligently allow it to escape from
control. In addition to the penal
ties for carelessly or maliciously
causing forest fires, the person

OF LEGISLATURE A LAW
Severe Penalty For Setting Fire to

Planting Land Tax Exempt

What is probably the most i'm
portant piece of forestry legisla-
ton ever enacted by Delaware
General Assembly has been signed
by Governor Buck. The law, which
during its course thru the Houses
of the General Assembly was
known as Coy's Forestry Bill and
was officially designated as House
Bill No. IA, supplies the State For
estry Department with much need
ed legislation. Altho essentially a
measure resigned to provide means
to effectively cope with the forest
fire situation in the State, the law
provides that the State Forestry
Department may acquire either by
gift or purchase, land for State
forests, State forest parks, expert
mental stations and forest demon
stration areas. 1t also enables the
Department to acquire property
for the protection of watersheds
and stream flow regulation; to pro-
vide public hunting grounds. game
refugees and places for public rec
reational use that private forests
cannot be expected to provide. One
feature of the law provides tax ex-
emption of a period of 80 years on
reforested lands consisting of five
or more acres. This should en-
courage the people of the State to
plant forest trees on thousands of
acres of unproductive non-agricul-
tural land throughout the State.
The forest protection feature of
the law empowers the State For
ester to appoint forest fire wardens
and designates State Police and
Game Wardens as forest fire ward
ems as forest fire wardens ex-of-
ficio. In conformity with the for

ing States, fire wardens are given

Lord: that is my name: and my
glory will I not give to another,
neither my praise to craven i'm

citations which comprised the Les
son-Sermon was the following
from the Bible: Love not the
world, neither the things that are
in the world. If any man love the
world, the love of the Father is not
in him." Il John 2:15). The Les
son-Sermon also included the fol-
lowing passages from the Christian
Science textbook, Science and
Health with Key to the Scrip
tures," by Mary Baker Eddy:
Either here or hereafter, suffering
or Science must destroy all illu-
sions regarding life and mind, and
regenerate material sense and self.
The old man with his deed must be
put off. Nothing sensual or sinful
is immortal. The death of a false
material sense and of sin, not the
death of organic matter, is what
reveals man and Life, harmonius,
real, and eternal" (296:6 to 49,.

She was delighted to find the house in better condition than had appeared. It would require com plete redecorating and new hard- wood floors downstairs.
 A few slight repairs would render the roof waterproof and the foun- dations were firm. but the porches would require strong re-enforce- ment and general rebuilding where railings and stairs were broken. The clhimneys were sound and after cleaning them out the fire places "drew" as well as ever. The plumbing had to be renewed throughout and new stoves and ice- chests installed Tn the kitchen.
 The partition between the two large rooms, the dining and sitting rooms they had been, was to be re- moved. making an ample ballroom, with the old "parlor" converted int cpzy lounge.
 Over the bedrooms on tho second floor Ginger pondered long time. The idea of small private dining and sitting rooms was very tempt ing, for there was something par ticularly, devilishly engaging in the mere sound of the words--a notion imhibed from novels and motion pictures, as she lacked all personal experience with them. But in the end her practical nature trium phed and she decided to retain them as
