A.A.MiIne' sPIay
Opens Monday
at National

For the week beginning Mon
day the National Theater Players
will produce the charming play
of A. A. Mines. Michael and
Mary"
This play, first produced in
London and later a triumphant
success on the New York boards,
has been rated by foreign and
native dramatic critics as a real
classic.
The story. a simple one, has
yet strength enough to carry over
two generations. 1t tells Of a
strange meeting between a young
fellow and a girl. in the British
Museum. They are strangers,
both waiting for their sweet
hearts-who never appear. They
don't have to. These two people
fall in love, almost at first sight.
The girl, Mary, is poor. The
boy, Michael, is the son Of q
respected clergyman, who is
shocked to hear that they violate
the conventions by taking up
lodgings in the same house.
However, they are married in the
end, and their children live to
bless them. 1t is fantasy from
beginning to end, this play-and
it might have been written by
the man who gave the world
Peter Pan-J. M. Barrie.

sors annually a performance in
their respective club houses; the
Friars having a "Frolic," and the
Lambs, a "Gambol." So unique
in performance and representative
in talent are these vaudeville holi-
days, that even celebrities are
found pulling strings" for invita-
tions.
This year the Friars have pro-
fessionalized their 1882 show for
a tour to the Coast. After one
performance at the Metropolitan
Opera House in New York. they
begin their tour here with an as
sembly Of talent such as is seldom

Chatterton Owes
Her Chance to
Janninss

If you ask Ruth Chatterton, star
Of First Nationals THE Rich Are
Always With U.s." which is now
playing at Warner Brothers Earle
Theater, who she considers her
best friend, she will reply without
a moment hesitation:
Emil Jannings."
But for Jannings, the screen
might still be without its First
Lady" and Ruth Chatterton still
producing and starring in her own
plays on the stage.
Against her will almost, Ruth
had been persuaded to take test
for Josef Won Sternberg's picture,
1.-The Docks of New York" She
was wholly apathetic about pic
lures at that time, but in her char
acteriStic fashion, put everything
she had into the test. It failed to
appeal to Won Sternberg, however,
and the test was relegated to the
vaults, there to lie gathering dust
for weeks.
Then Jannings began seeking
his leading woman for "The Sins
Of the Fathers" Scores Of appli-
cants were rejected by the i'm
placable German star. Then the
vaults were ransacEed for any test
that might interest him. Ruth
Chatterton's, among others, was
run for him and at it's conclusion
the delighted Jannings rushed for
ward and kissed the screen.

other words, the farmers
would let some of their land
remain idle and produce
enough to meet the wants of
the people.
There is, of course, opposi-
tion to such a plan, and it
would be difficult to apply.
Farming is individualistic,
and that makes such a plan
harder.
"While the subject is being
discussed by Senator Capper
and theirs the question of in
creasing the power of the con-
sumner should be considered.
In the true sense there is no
over-production of grain so
long as there are hungry peo-
pie. The great point is to ad-
just distribution so that the
reasonable wants of all could
be supplied.

the productive power hardly
dreamed Of by the economists

today is to make the proper
use Of them. Less greed and

an S. o. S. to the Coast Guard sta
tion at Lewes, informing Chief
Yokes of the barge's plight. The
rescue party started out immedi-
ately and got to the scene at 4.3O
p. m. Saturday, an hour and a half
after the barge cut loose. Several
times lines were passed to the
floundering barge, only to be brok-
en-. Chief Yokes started back once
for aid which he could not obtain.
Returning, he discovered the barge
was being pounded against the
jetty, with the couple crying for
help. Hampered by ice and snow
and high waves, the guardsmen
finally succeeded in fastening a
rope which did not break, to the
barge. With the Coast Guard cut
ter nearly blown against the jetty
itself, once, the cutter started back
slowly. After two and one-half
hours of effort the small power
craft dragged the barge one mile
into calm water. There Comes and
his wife were taken aboard and
treated for exposure. The cap
tain of the tug sent to Merchant
vile for new rudder, which is ex-
pected to arrive some time this

DELAWARE STRENGTH

Delaware's financial streng-
tn and self reliance is demon
strated, says the Every Even
ing, stressing the fact that
the First State called upon
the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation only once to as-
sist in tiding business over
hard spots developed BY the
depression. No other state
has such a record for financ-
ing her own concerns which is
4 matter Of great satisfaction
to all Of our citizens. Little
Rhode Island came second on
the list, refraining from ask
ing aid, except in three in
stances. In addition to our
other resources enabling Us
to finance our own business,
industrial OF fiduciary con
Germs, the First State has a
surplus approximating S.
100000 OF S9,OOO,OOO in the
treasury, ample to meet all
possible future emergencies,
should any arise. Delaware
is one Of the very few states
of the Union whose financial
condition is a matter of great
satisfaction and pride to her
citizens, and with the final
turning of the tide toward a
resumption of prosperity our
state will be found ready to
avail herself of the first shift
of the wind in that direction.

FARMERS BUYING POWER

Referring to the purchasing

ing on the recent speech of
Senator Capper of Kansas,
says: 'No one familiar with
the subject would be inclined
to doubt the statement of Sen
ator Capper, that if the farm

whole economic machinery of
the United States will begin
running again. The question,
however, is how to increase
that purchasing power of the
farmers.
Senator Capper supports

by President-elect Roosevelt.
Under this plan the attempt
would be made to adjust pro-
