EVERGREEN PLENTIFUL
Recent Storm Aided Laurel and
Crows Foot Used for Wreaths

Christmas greens will be plent-
iful in this vicinity this season
from the present outlook. The
recent heavy rain storm greatly
aided the laurel, crows foot, and
liberty used extensively in the
manufacture of evergreen wreaths
The holly and mistletoe also are
found to be bright with berries
with the leaves a brilliant green.
Owners of woodlands are now
more careful in not allowing the
wholesale cutting of holly and
mistletoe, as in former years in
an effort to stop this abuse which
was causing a shortage of these
evergreens. Dealers in wreaths
will start gathering greens about
the middle of next month, much
of the early crop will be stored in
cellars and kilns to preserve the
color.

Attractions at Strand Theatre

Today and Thursday - 1.-THE
Strangers Return" co-starring
Lionel Barrymore and Miriam
Hopkins, is causing more enthus-
lastic raves" from theatregoers,
who have seen it than any screen
production has for months. King
Vldor has again given the screen a
living drama in this unusual film.
Many fine performances have been
credited to Lionel Barrymore but
here we are convinced BARRYMORE
has reached his greatest glory.
His portrayal Of the 85-year-oId
patriarch, who refuses to die until
he sees his beloved farm in kind
hands, is immemorable. He looks
the part, acts it, lives it. Bucolic
in quaint philosophy, gnarled by
toll, his Grandpa Storr is a char
acterization to go down in his
tronic archives. Co-starred with
him is Miriam Hopkins in her
most dramatic role to date. She
is appealingly sincere in a role of
difficult translation. The CITY
granddaughter of the ancient TIL
Ter, she comes back to the farm to
find peace, only to find it tragical-
ly interlocked with romance.
Miriam is superb. Franchot Tone.
regarded as one of the coming 70
mantle leads in pictures, wraps up
an important role and walks away
with il in naive, simple, country
folk gait. Tone is outstanding in
his performance.
Friday and Saturday That bril-
liant satirist, w. Somerset Maug-
ham, is the author of Constance
Benefits newest screen drama.
"Our Betters". When he titled
"Our Betters," Vaughan had his
tongue in his cheek, for he shows
the very topmost layer Of societys
upper crust to be no better in man
ners and morals than the least
and worst Of us. It should prove
to be Constance Benefits greatest
Characterization and call forth
talents that previous roles have
not given her a chance to display.
Here is an innocently romantic
girl who has sophistry forced upon
her. Either she must wear a pro
tective coat of hardness, or 20
through life utterly crushed be
cause the man she marries for
love has wed her for money. Hav-
ing paid for the title Of Lady
Grayston with heartache and a
million good American dollars,
She decides to get all she can out
Of the opportunity her title and
London social position entitle her
to.
Monday and Tuesday Mary
Roland and Charlie Ruggles, who
have been featured together in
numerous recent pictures, are CO.
starred in Mamma Loves Papa"
a comedy written especially for
them. Mama Loves Papa" is a
story which permits both Miss
Boland and Ruggles to display
their particular types of comedy
to the best advantage. In addi-
ton to Miss Boland and Ruggles,
the cast includes Lilyan Tashman,
Walter Catlet, and George Barber
in important roles.

PLAN DELEGATION
AT IMPEACHMENT
LID. to Submit Facts
on Negro Rights

NEW YORK.-Announcement that
delegation will be sent to testify
before the house judiciary commit
tee against the impeachment pro-
ceedings being instituted against
Federal Judge James A. Lowell, OF
Boston, for refusing to extradite
George Crawford, Negro, to Virginia
to be tried for murder, was made
today by William L. Patterson, ma
tional secretary of the international
Labor Defense.
The delegation will submit proof
that Judge Lowells contention, that
it is impossible to obtain fair and
impartial trial in Virginia is true
not only for that state, but for the
entire South, Patterson said. Tes-
timony will be brought forward to
show that the denial Of democratic
rights guaranteed to Negroes under
the 18th, 14th, and 18th amendments
to the U. S. constitution preclude5
fair and impartial trial not only OF
Negroes, but also Of white workers.
Judge Lowells action arises out
of the movement to fight for these
democratic rights initiated by the In
ternational Labor Defense In its legal
battle against Negro exclusion from
iuries in the Scottsboro case" Pat
terson declared.
Now that the repereussions OF this
fight have actually forced denial Of
extradition of Negro from Boston
to Virginia, the Republican and De-
mocratic parties are modified to rob
the Negro people Of one of the first
fruits of this fight"
