Only Love Able to
Tame This Girl Of
Carolina Mountains

AS an impetuous, unrestrained,
semi-wild girl OF the Carolina noun
tains, Katharine Hepburn came to the
screen Of the Capitol Theatre yester-
day. The stars new picture, Spit
fire." is a picturizatin of the stage
play, Trigger" which had a long
run on Broadway a few seasons ago.
It is the story of an untamed lass
who lives alone in a crude cabin in
the sparsely settled hills, earning a
meager living by washing clothes.
Her character is one of the most
unique in the annals of the screen
and one of startling contradictions:
one moment she prays with a child
like faith in God, where as in the
next instant she is a flaming. fight
ing wildcat. It is only when love
enters her soul that she shows signs
of womanly surrender. And this sur
render is as impetuous as her hostility
In her other moods.
She falls in love with a young en-
gineer on a nearby dam project and
bltndly, innocently gives him her
heart and her kisses. believing hin,
when he tells her that he is not mar
ried. She is saved from his Interior
designs and regenefated by the un-
selfish love of this mans superior on
the construction work at the dam. a
man who is able to see beneath the
surface of her vixenish exterior and
appreciate the sterling qualities Of he1
inner and usually hidden nature.

Fritz KreisIer at Constitution Hall;
Beauty Marks Excellent Program

Certain critics have held that
Fritz Kreisler is slipping from the
high pinnacle he holds in the
world of music.
But there was no evidence of
this yesterday when he held a
huge audience spellbound during
his recital in Constitution Hall.
1t was the same Kreisler, the
superlative violinist. A little older
than when heard last. little
grayer perhaps, but still that
great musician.
When the program was ended
the audience begged for more, and
four times he responded with en-
cores. Still the crowds applauded,
until at last he came on the
stage. bowed, smiled. and elo-
quently touched his arm-tired,

The program of the recital
itself was formal. designed to
show his great technique on the
violin.
1t started with the stately
Sonata in 9 major by Handel, one
of the most inspiring things ever
written for the violin, and played
in masterful manner.
From there he went to Bach,
playing the ever popular Prelude
and Gavotte in a manner that
moved the audience to great
enthusiasm.
Then came the MendelSsohn

of not so much popular appeal,

SUDDEN MELTING OF THE SNOW
FLOODS THE FIELDS AND ROADS

The sudden thaw that followed
six weeks of snow and frigid tenn
peratures, caused the melted snow
to flood fields and highways with
the result that motorists were
obliged to travel in some instances
with water up to the hubs of their
autos. Lake Como filled so rapid
ly that it became necessary to lift
the flood gates at the causeway
bridge. This torrent of water was
let loose in the meadow and swirl
ed with such force as to cause
concern for the foundation under
the Lake Como Restaurant immed-
lately back Of the Texaco Station.
It also threatened the embank-
ment of the highway. Fortunate
ly no material damage was done.
Saturday, water was running over
the State Highway between Smyr-
Smyrna times., 1934-03-07

ma and Dover in number of
places, thru which motorists had
to pillow almost to the running
boards of their cars. The State
Highway Department kept vigil
ance to see that no washout of
concrete roads was threatened.
Most of the roads which were
blocked about Smyrna were open
ed on Saturday and Monday.
Many of the Stag roads down
state have been flooded and in
some places wooden bridges have
been washed away. 1t is said that
the cold weather of the last few
weeks has even frozen some of the
muskrats and these animals can
withstand an immense, amount of
cold. In one house seven musk
rats were found frozen to death.
1t was also severe on game birds.

SMYRNA BUSINESS CHANGE
Vernon Lay Phillips Gives Up His
Jewelry Business For Optometry

A Smyrna change of note the past
week is that of Vernon Lay Phil
lips, who has dispensed with his
jewelry business and converted his
store at the Four Corners into
modern quarters for the exclusive
practice of optometry. The change
has given Mr.. Phillips one of the
best equipped offices to be found
south of Wilmington. The whole
store room has been utilized and
apportioned off by the building of
ornamental paneled partitions into
three distinct rooms--a reception
room; an eye testing room; a
dark room" and business office.
These quarters are attractively
painted and furnished, the color
scheme being green and ivory with
a soft biscuit shade around the
base. Draperies of dark brown
velour and rugs and furnishings
that blend, make an attractive and
pleasing color combination. The
testing room is equipped with the
very latest and most up-to-date
optical equipment. Mr.. Phillips,
who had been in the jewelry and
watch repairing business in Smyr-
ma for a number of years, succeed
ing Linwood Phillips who took
over the business first established
by Lee o. Waller, found leisure
between times to give his attention
to the study Of optometry and be-
came a registered optometrist. In
recent years he had become so in

have not made any tax returns on

modating those farmers who have

partment of the University of Del
aware. This month, however, prob
ably will be the last time that a
representative from this branch of
the government service will be in
Dover on this particular business,
as most of the home butchering of
hogs has been completed for this
winter, and there will not be the
need for this service until again
next fall and winter 1t will be
very necessary, therefore, that all
those persons who want to see the
deputy collector on any business of
this nature come to Dover on
March IA, since this will be the
last opportunity to interview gov
eminent officials on any questions
pertaining to this special tax. The
extension department is not con-
nected in any way with the Bureau
of Internal Revenue, and these
conferences have been ar
ranged simply as a local service
for the farmers in the central part

NEW SMYRNA TOWN COUNCIL
ReOrganiZed Following Town EIec-
ton With G. r. Stevenson, Pres.

Following the Annual Town
Election at which the same old
board of commissioners remain en-
tact, Smyrna Town Council met
last week and re-organized with G.
Reynolds Stevenson, president: S.
Creadick Ennis, secretary and
George w. Turner, clerk. Presi-
dent Stevenson will probably re-
appoint all of his standing COM
mittees. The newly recognized
Town Council start the year with
plans to extend, thru the aid of
the C. w. A. the sewer line on
South Main Street and South by
the Boulevard, SO that properties
in that part of town which has
never enjoyed sewer privileges,
may have it. This has not been
possible before because of the
grade that would not permit the
hook-up. Now Council is planning
a sewage disposal plant near the
old creek which will take care of
the situation.
