''The Henrietta" To Open
At The Roadside Theatre

A famous old American comedy,
Bronson Towards "The Henrietta"
opens two week engagement at the
Rockville Pike playhouse, the Road
side Theatre, Monday, August 20.
Denis Connell, Richard Stringfellow,
Ann Ives, Nancy Hall, Dorothy Dietz,
and Ralph Fowler head the cast. Har-
rold weinberger, who directed the
Roadside's first popular revival,
"Trilby," has directed "The Henri
eta"
Back in the eos and early 1900's
when 1.-THE Henrietta" was at the
height Of it's popularity, it was re-
garded as a grand satire on Wall
Street and Big Business. That was
when the stock market was booming,
when bulls and bears were rampant,
and when fortunes were won and lost
on style tick of the stock-ticker. 1t
is still grand satire on Big Business
of those days-but in these post
depression days when Wall Street fin
anciers are not quite such heroes, the
broad satire of "The Henrietta"
should provoke even greater merri-
Iment.

WNU Official Says
Sentinel's Progress
Has Been Noteworthy

August 81, 1885
To The Sentinel,
Rockville, Md.
Gentlemen:
1 have watched with interest the
progress of The Sentinel over the
past three years. During that time
the paper has improved to the
point where it is now considered
one of the outstanding weeklies in
Maryland.
It is no easy task to publish a
weekly paper in a community such
as Rockville which combines the
urban population with strictly rural
population. Analysis of The Sen
tinel shows that the publishers
have recognized this situation and
have handled it admirably. do not
believe that any community in the
State has its local happenings bet
ter covered in such an interesting
and well-written style.
wish to take this occasion to
congratulate The Sentinel on
reaching the ripe age of eighty
years and confidently predict that
when it reaches it's one hundredth
birthday, it will still be one of
Maryland's outstanding papers.
Sincerely yours,
WESTERN NEWSPAPER UNION

William Powell Will
Present "Escapade" At
The Lyric Aug. 25-26

Next Sunday and Monday, August
rs and 26, the Lyric, at Gaithersburg,
is showing William Powell's latest
picture-"Escapade", co-starring the
new importation from Vienna,-Luise
Rainier. Powell is cast in this produc-
ton as famous artist, and is most
ably supported by Miss Rainier. The
picture is reported as very lavishly
produced and critics praise it as ex-
tremely entertaining.
Everyone interested in a picture
suitable for the whole family, should
not overlook "Ginger," which is book
ed for the Lyric for three days-Sun-
day, Monday and Tuesday, September
/, 2 and 8. Jane Withers is the star,
and she will be well remembered by
film fans because of having played
with Shirley Temple in "The Little
Colonel" The appeal of Jane in the
part of "Ginger" is her inimitable
portrayal of the average American kid
OF today-a clever, slangy, nervy
youngster-and yet as loveable as can
he.
Other pictures of interest during
the coming week at The Lyric, in
clude the one and only Chas. "Chic"
Sale in a roaring comedy-"McFad-
denis Flats" scheduled for showing
one day only, Tuesday, August 9th;
Paul MUM in ''Black Fury, one Of
the strongest dramas of the year,
which is booked for Wednesday and
Thursday, August 1929; and the
usual western for Friday and Satur-
day, August 30-31,-Tim Mccoy in
"The Revenge Rider" completes the
current weeks program.

Ruling
Necessary Where
Traffic Is Big
Town Councils Regulations On
Montgomery Avenue Will
Aid Business

Despite the fact that several BUSH
ness men have complained of the
strictness of parking regulations on
Montgomery avenue as adopted re-
Gently by the Rockville Town Council,
merchants as a whole are being bene-
fitted.
Members of the council quite apt
ly point out that certain restrictions
on parking on a main business street
which is at the same time a main
thoroughfare, are necessary. In the
past local business men have them
selves been negligent as to parking.
During the recent drive to curb over
time parking and other automobile
violations the. majority of those cited
were town and county officials. For
the most part, as members of the cou-
Gil point out, those given summons to
the police court took the matter in
good faith.
"In every town the size of Rock
vile, especially where such commun-
ity is on a main traffic artery, parking
restrictions must be enforced. 1t is
childish for anyone to argue to the
contrary. 1t will all work out for the
general good of the business men,"
one prominent citizen remarked yes
terday.
Member of the Town Council stress
ed the fact that these parking regu-
lations are being enforced primarily
to permit people from outside of
Rockville to come to town and do
business. In order to bring this about
these people must have ample park
ing space. Town and county officials
who do not need their cars during
business hours can find parking space
in Rockville other than on Montgom-
cry avenue.

8Oth Anniversary Of The Sentinel
Recalls Early Montgomery County
County Was First Set Up AS Separate Political Unit
On October l, 1776-Named After The Hero Of
Quebec-Scene Of Many Skirmishes During
The War Between The States

Old World that "this place, without
all question, is the most pleasant and
healthful place in all this country, and
most convenient for habitation, the
air temperate in summer and not
violent in winter, constant stream
of travellers and settlers has moved
westward into the fair land that is
now Montgomery County.
The high land where Georgetown
now stands was early pointed out as
an ideal townsite at the head of navi-
cation on the Potomac, and the first
white settlements in all this region
were made in that vicinity before
1888, although Georgetown itself was
not laid out until 1851. The early
settlers located along Rock Greek and
were soon found as far inland as the
present site of Rockville. Later the
growing population in the lower half
of the County met an influx of per-
secuted Quakers moving southwark
through Pennsylvania and New York.
The Quakers, or Friends, have ever re-
manned an important influence and
still maintain a characteristic COM
munity at Sandy Spring.
Tobacco was the all-important agri-
cultural product produced for export
in the early days. The huge, strong
hogsheads of tobacco were fitted
with rough shafts, fastened to
cleats in which revolved a strong
axle. Pulled by a horse of OK,
these hogsheads were rolled down the
roads or trails to the sailing boats at
Georgetown, whence they were carried
away to England.
Montgomery County was the first
county in the American Colonies to
ignore the custom of naming states
and counties after princes, lords, and
dukes, and to select the county name
from resident of the Colonies. The
name, Montgomery County, was taken
from that of famous fighter, General
Richard Montgomery, Irish by birth,
who fell fighting gloriously at Quebec.
in ITS. Montgomery County was set
up as separate political unit on
October 1, 1776.
In l775 Maryland sent two COM
panies of troops to Boston, 100 men
coming from what is now Montgom-
cry County and the area to the west
ward. These volunteers were all cover
six feet in height, and carried toma-
hawks and rifles, and painted their
bodies like savages." This small body
of troops is said to "have stemmed the
current Of the bloody fight" at Bunker
Hill.
General Braddock's army marched
through Montgomery County and
camped one night near Rockville, on
its Inflated expedition against the
French and Indians at Fort Duquesne.
Coming down to Civil War days,
Montgomery County found itself on
the borderline and torn between two
camps. The battle Of Balls Bluff was
fought on the banks of the Potomac
River Virginia side) not far from
Poolesville. The horsemen of Colonel
Bakers troops were forced back over
the bluffs and fell into the river. Gen.
eral Jubal Early swept through the
County in his attack on Washington
and made his headquarters at Silver
Spring.

RUGGLES AND FRIENDS
STAYA METROPOLITAN
Popular Comedy Starring Charles
Laughton Will Have Another
Weeks Run.

If there were no other excuse for
delaying its departure, Charles Laugh
toms recitation of the Gettysburg
Address would justify the second week
stay of "Ruggles of Red Gap" at the
Metropolitan. A moving defamation
which will, make all good Americans
trickle quietly into their bibs, the
Lincoln speech ranks as one
of the most exciting dramatic inter-
ludes of the year.
1t so happens there are also numer-
Gus other reasons for OBTAINING Rug
giles" on this shore. Written by a
shrewd and patriotic commentator on
the American scene, Harry Leon Will
son, this rugged comedy boasts the
services of Charles Ruggles tno rela-
| tion). Mary Boland, Leila Hyams and
the redoubtable Mr.. Laughton, who
reaffirms his vaunted position as a
fine character actor.
Ruggles' explorations Of the land of
the free, where every man has a
chance to become President, or at
least county treasurer, are knit into
gay yarn, frightened by Mr.. Ruggles
(Charles) and Miss Boland's monkey
shines. and made smoothly romantic
by Roland Young and Miss Hyams. To
put 1t ever so briefly, you cannot go
wrong on this one.
The Met program includes divert
ing short subject devoted to our

WILL ROGERS COMES
BACK TO COLUMBIA
His Life Begins at 40" Continues
Very Popular Screen
Attraction.

Will Rogers fans who missed seeing
him in his latest celluloid effort, Life
Begins at 49," when the film was at
the Palace several weeks ago have an
other chance to see what marvellous
use hog-calling can be put to by
dropping in at Loew's Columbia, which
is giving the movie its third weeks
downtown screening. The title has
nothing to do with the story, and very
little to do with Will. who passed 40
when some of his younger fans were
just beginning life.
Despite the fact that the plays Mr.
Rogers has been featured in lately are
more or less standardized, their fresh
ness. simplicity and portrayal of every
day happenings have given them wide
popular appeal Life Begins at 40"
is not unlike its predecessors in this
respect
Will takes time off from running
weekly newspaper to shoot jaybirds
with slingshot, have glorious fun
sponsoring the towns official loafer
tSllm Summerville), act as cupid for
Rochelle Hudson and Richard Crom-
well and slip over several of his Spon-
taneous WitticismS. The hog calling,
offered by the angular Mr.. Summer
vile and a host of uncles, cousins
and kinfolk, ruins a county fair and
saves a lawn party.
BY doing her small bit exceedingly
well. Miss Hudson gives evidences of
going places in the movie game in the
near future. Others who do we'll by
the film are George Barber. Jane
Darwell and that suffering redhead,
Sterling Holiday.
Those two comedians. Thelma Todd
and Patsy Kelly. are together again
in a new comedy that supplements
the feature. M. w. B.
