ETHEL BARRYMORE In BALTI-
MORE

Not since the dazzling Lady Teazle
of Richard Sheridans The School for
/ Scandal" has Ethel Barrymore been
seen on the legitimate stage in Balti-
more The announcement made yes
terday by Leonard B. Mclaughlin that
this outstanding actress would return
to the local stage to appear in W..
Somerset Maughams The Constant
Wife" for one week beginning on
Monday night, December so, with
matinees Wednesday and Saturday in
the Auditorium Theatre Baltimore, is
of unusual interest and Importance.
Last October Miss Barrymore began
another of her famous tours exploring
| the road and restoring to many cities
| which had not seen spoken play for
decade or more the so-Called legiti-
mate theatre She chose for this pur-
pose the Vaughan comedy which had
run for a year in Maxine Elliotts
| theatre, New York, and which she had
acted in many of the leading cities of
the country. The success which has
attended her appearance in many of
these long deserted citieSis typical of
the Barrymore career which began
when, thirteen years old, she Joined
her grandmothers company to play
| Julia in The Rivals"
THE Constant Wife" is modern
| comedy. 1t is typical of Somerset
Maughams period of smart drawing
room plays before he became fascinat-
ed with the east and delved into the
strange histories of stranger derelicts.
| In the piece Miss Barrymore will pre-
sent here Vaughan is writing of the
more suave and civilized world of Lon
don where heartbreaks are covered by
an epigram and elemental passions are
CLOSED over by smile. AS will be
recalled in The Constant Wife" the
author deals cynically with the stu
alton of a wife confronted by the
philandering of her husband and her
decision to let him find out for himself
how the other party to the household
feels when jealousy has cause to dis
turb domestic tranquility.
Though Miss Barrymore has ranged
from the scrub woman in Galsworthy' s
The Silver Box" to Portia in THE
Merchant of Venice" from the grim
figure of Rose Bernd" to the sister of
charity in The Kingdom of Cod the
public remembers her many appear
ances in social comedies. She was
among the first to act a Somerset
Vaughan comedy, Lady Frederick,
when the author was beginning his
enormously successful writing career
in London.
Following Miss Barrymores early
debut at the age of 10, with her grand
mother, the girl appeared in various
productions with her uncle, the late
John Drew, and with Maude Adams.
In London she acted with Sir Henry
Irving. Her first New York success
was as Madame Trentoni in Captain
links of the Horse Marines" and from
that time she has occupied a 'front.'
rank position in the American theatre
She was the first to act a Galsworthy
drama in America THE Silver Box
She has been seen in plays by Pinero
Barrie, Dumas, Shakespeare, Ibsen
Sierra and Clyde Fitch. When other
players deserted the road, she periodic
ally returned to it, proving over and
again that there always is an audi
ence for the theater wherever there
is stage to act upon and a community
large enough to shelter thousand OF
more civilized people.

HOMEMADE CANDY GIVES Ex-
IRA HAPPINESS TO YULETIDE

OF all the pleasures associated
with the Yuletide season, probably
none is older CIR more popular than
that of candy making. Where, IN
deed. is the small boy or girl who has
not thrilled at 'taffy pulling" time
and who has not been ready and
waiting when mother announced that
the candy pan could be scraped and
licked. Every modern mothers will
find something new in the prepare
tion of these table delicacies-
they will also find they can save
themselves some money through this
method.
According to Miss Margaret NC
Pheeters, nutrition specialist for the
University of Maryland Extension
Service. one of the most popular
candies for Christmas time, and one
which is not too difficult to make, is
taffy. This delicious sweet is made
with 8 cups of sugar, l cup OF karo,
and l cup of water. The ingredients
are cooked to hard ball stage,
cooled. and then pulled. If desired,
a little coloring matter may be added
to the taffy just before it is pulled.
Another candy recipe is popcorn
balls. which may be made also with
puffed wheat or rice. Like the recipe
given above this candy is made with
8 cups of sugar, cup of karo and l
cup of water. 1t is cooked first to a
hard-ball stage, after which it is
poured into a large pan containing
popped corn, puffed wheat or rice,
the whole then being mixed together
thoroughly with a long handled
spoon.
A third popular holiday CONNECTION
ia date loaf This is made with 2
cups of brown sugar, cups of white
sugar. / cup of water, 1 package OF
dates, and " cup of nuts. The
sugar and water are cooked first 20
nearly hair stage, the dates are then
added. and TIM the whole is cooked
to a soft-ball stage. Following this
the candy is set aside to cool to luke
warm after which it is beaten until
soft and creamy as for fudge. The
candy is then turned ON slightly
Toured board and poured or rolled
to about II or "A inch thickness.
Lastly, i. is sprinkled with nuts,

Basket Ball In County Schools

Basket BAH In OOuuCy SCuOOAS
1t has been rumored around the
county that basketball equipment
would be placed in schools and that
there would be inter-school games.
This equipment would be placed in
the school if at least four schools
would agree to put in the equipment
and bear their own expenses.
North East High School has al
ready installed basketball equipment.
Mr.. Warren, of our school. went to
North East last week to see how the
equipment was installed. He made
rough sketches of the outlay so that
he might put in equipment here If
our school should decide to join in a
league of basketball teams.
This would be great help to the
winter activity of our school. AS 1t
is we have no winter sports. II
basketball equipment were installed,
it would provide activity during the
noon hours and also during the extra
period in the afternoon.

RESULTS OF WHEAT CAMPAIGN
IN MARYLAND

Reports from all counties in the
State show that more than six thou
sand Maryland farmers have signed
applications for contracts under the
wheat adjustment program covering
the next four years, according to
Paul E. Nystron who is supervising
the campaign. 1t is estimated by
Mr.. Nystron that when all the re-
turns are in the number will be close
to $500.
The number of Maryland farmers
signing the wheat contracts which
expired this year was 1913. While
the number signing under the new
program shows decrease of about
"a per cent, it is pointed out by Mr..
Nystron that the decrease In acre
age of wheat is much less. A large
percentage of those included in the
former program who have not signed
for the new program, he states, are
farmers who grow only very small
acreage of wheat. Such growers
were not encouraged to sign new
contracts as the amount involved was
so small as to scarcely justify the
necessary expense involved.
In the preliminary results, Fred
erick County has the largest number
of signers with 1880; Carroll Coun-
ty ranks second with 618, and Mont
gomery County is third with 500.

ties as they have been received up 20

Editorial

Another Christmas has just passed
and TO many people 1t was just an
other day, which meant lot Of work.
Many folks think that Christmas is
just for children. While the chill
dren are little their parents never
think that Christmas is too much
trouble. They always have a tree,
decorations and lots of good things
to eat. After the children are older
the parents think that it Is jus.
waste of time and money to prepare
for Christmas. People who think
this way about Christmas do not
have the real spirit. Even though
there are no children in the family
you can still show your Christmas
spirit. Remember the words: sit is
more blessed to give than to receive"
Are you thinking of these words
during this Christmas season? Think
of the people near you who may not
have been able to have much of
Christmas this year. A little gift.
from you would gladden. their hearts,
and your own also. Even though
Christmas Day has passed, there is
still week of the Holiday Season
left in which you can make others
happier. Give up the idea that
Christmas is only for children. Start
showing the Christmas spirit that
the people had years ago.
