MILTON. DELAWARE

When the First National Bank of
Milton, Delaware, closed it's doors,
the Directors were then crititist d
severely and even accused of peCu-
lation: which might follow the clDs-
ing of any banking institution.
Let us see the facts of the case.
Before the banking holiday the
institution had depreciation of
S21 10000 on its books. The Banking
Controller demanded that this de-
preciation be placed back in the in
stitution. These men then replaced
the amount back from their own
pockets. Then the banking holi-
day came and the bank was closed
In the investigation which follow
ed, il was discovered that the Capt
tai Stock of $4,000 was lost. Again
these men went down into their own
pockets and paid in nearly all the
entire amount of the Capital Stock
Cincluding most all of the old stock
holders and a few new onesl. They
worked like Trojans without any eX-
pense to the bank, and are yet work
ing for the bank without pay or re-
ward.
This is a sample of what other
bank directors have done.
We have, in Milton, Delaware, two
banks whose charters and their di-
rectors are above reproach; work
ing for the financial. welfare of Mil"
ton and Sussex County, and espe-
cially for the citizens of Milton.
Patronize your home banks-if
they succeed. the community adj
vances. Fall in with the New Deal,
and let everybody push.
DIR. ROBERT B. HOPKINS,
Milton, Delaware
NOTE-Your money in these in
stitutions is as safe as if in any
other banking institution. In pre-
vious article printed in the Chron-
icIe, nothing in it was intended as
criticism of any banking institution.

red Stone Due
In New PLAY
-

Since three of the five scenes
taking place in a senatorial home
in washington during the Civil
War, this city should be looking
forward with a special interest to
the imminent production of "Jay-
hawker," the new drama by Sin
clair Lewis and Lloyd Lewis,
which Henry Hammond, Inc, opens
Monday night at the National
Theater for a weeks engagement
prior to its opening in New
York. Fred Stone is the star
and his daughter, Carol, will be
seen in the leading feminine role.
About Kansas Senator
But it will not be a mere repro
duction of phases Of Washington
with which inhabitants might be
assumed to be familiar; the pic
ture, instead is the city when it
was possibly just as stormy as it is
today, but certainly less civilized.
The period is the Civil War, and
the story is of the first Senator
from Kansas, a State which had
just been admitted to the Union.
ACE" Burdette, the magnificent
blusterer of the title. is the char
acter Fred Stone will offer as his
first Interpretation on the legiti-
mate stage.
Everyone is familiar with the
incompatible Glowing of this
song-and-dance man; he has been
in every branch of the theater
from tent shows to vaudeville
tours and long-run musical
comedies; but a sustained per-
Torrance in a sustained story is
a new step for this distinguished
comic-and the same kind of
revelation is due as came forth
with the entrance of George M.
Cohan and James Barton onto the
acting platform.
Full of Boasts
"Jayhawker" is full of first-time
boasts. It is the first time that
Lloyd Lewis, author of such vital
and provocative books as "Sher-
man: Fighting Prophet" an d
Myths After Lincoln" has writ
ten directly for the theater, even
though he is dramatic critic for
the Chicago News; and the first
time that Sinclair Lewis, America
leading novelist, has collaborated
with anybody on major work, al
though he was in constant con-
sultation with Sidney Howard
during the dramatization of
"Dodsworth." It is the first time,
however, that Mr.. Lewis has taken
part in actual production prepare
ton, including casting and re-
hearsal attendance.

Any motion picture studio con-
siders itself just as fortunate to
possess the rights to a popular
character of fiction as if it had
another Mae West or Greta
Carlo.
The system of building fiction
characters for screen popularity
is as old as the motion picture
industry itself. One of the first
of these was the popular Edgar
Rice Burroughs creation, Tarzan,
who was first brought to the
screen many years ago by Elmo
Lincoln, and later revived by
Larry Buster" Crabbe and
Johnny Weissmuller.
Detectives are by far the most
popular of these creations. Para
mount first brought S. S. Van
Dimes super-sleuth, Philo Vance,
to life on the screen. Warmers
next stole a march on this studio
and not only bought several Van
Dine thrillers, but also COPIED
William Powell, the cinema Philo
Vance. Now, it's Warren William
who is doing the sleuthing.

Fox boasts of the Charley Chan
series, taken from the adventures
of the late Earl Derr Biggers'
Chinese Hawaiian detective char

actor so far to depict wise old
Charley.

fiction character of 1.-THE Thin

II hree Authors
To get back to the three hits,
When Shirley Temple made
"Stand Up and Cheer" the skep.
tical voted it pretty good but not
likely to happen again. In "Lit
tie Miss Marker she cleared all
. the barriers once more. So her
salary leaped to $1,000 a week,
with Mamma Shirley collecting
$3.50 more as her guardian. The
pay raise was granted after they
screened Nov and Forever"
Paramount really put some
thought into Now and Forever"
The original story was by Jack
Kirkland (the former Mr.. Nancy
CARROLL, who wrote the current
Broadway hit Tobacco Road"
and another that was not even
q bunt, FRANKIE and Johnnie"
They turned the original over
20 Vincent Lawrence and Sylvia
Thalberg. Playwright Lawrence
has written many a drama with
two good first acts, but seldom
one with a satisfying final stanza.
Sylvia Thalberg has hoped
along in Hollywood in spite of
the fact that she is Irving Thai
berg's sister. though that has not
been a handicap.
In Nov and Forever" the au-
thor combine produced an ex-
cellent piece of screen craftsman
ship. Good casting has helped.
We have Gary Cooper who can
please the girls with just a little
acting ability. Carole Lombard
who can please the men with her
figure and beauty plus bet
ter knowledge Of acting in each
picture. Shirley Temple, who
can please both men. women and
children whenever mamma tells
her to sparkle" and baby fol-
lows instructions, turns on that
win-'em-all smile.
Happy Ending
For first rate grown-up act
ing you have Sir Guy Standing,
who is Hollywood's only titled
actor and one with merit medals
from Ethel Barrymore and Jane
Cowl; also Charlotte Granville, a
footlight veteran who knows all
Of the tricks.
"Now and Forever" is about a
pair of easy going swindlers,

reform through the influence Of

the very good reason she has

ulty of fitting sweet expressions

who has become known all over

Powell on Strike
Dick Powell got back to Holly

to work. Salary trouble. 1t ap-
pears that Powell's contract per-
mits him 10 weeks of leisure, and
he would like to fill this time
whenever engagements are avail
able in the movie houses that
profit by personal appearance.
The Powell stage wage is twice
what he gets in Hollywood.
Busby Berkely was all ready to
shoot Gold Diggers of 1885," but
Mr.. Powell allowed he'd take a
vacation. Meanwhile, dancing
scenes are being shot while the
dispute is debated.
The Hollywood stars grumble,
too, when they catch anything
less than a four-star picture for
their screen appearances. Dick
Powell was peeved because on his
recent three weeks of appearances
he was booked with picture that
was only a mild hit on the ex-
hibitor books.
