SAILOR BEWARE" AT MARY
LAND THEATRE
New York Comedy Success Coming
To Baltimore Week OF
March IL

The attraction at the Maryland
Theatre, Baltimore, for the week be-
ginning Monday, March 18th, will be
the sensational comedy success
Sailor Beware, the play that ran
for so weeks on Broadway last sea-
son. Sailor Beware" will be given
for six nights with the usual We'd
nesday and Saturday matinees and
popular scale of prices will prevail.
Altho banned by the censors in
Boston, Sailor Beware" has been
presented with great success in most
of the leading cities of America and
its engagement at the Maryland
Theatre should prove the high water
mark of the present season.
Sailor Beware" was written by
Kenyon Nicholson and Charles Rob-
inson, the former a professor of
playwriting at Columbia University
and the latter one of his star pupils.
Mr.. Nicholson is best known to the
theatre as the author of THE
Barker, which served as starring
vehicle in the movies for Walter
Huston and Claudette Colbert.
The comedy is assuredly not art,
and it is best not to bring Aunt Pru-
dence or the kiddies to see it, 1t is
profane, fiambouyany and sexy But,
as Norman Clark said in the Balti-
more News-Post, 1T is undeniably
funny" and he who likes to laugh
from his girth will find plentiful
opportunity.
The theme of the play projects the
attempt by Sailor Chester ('Dyna-
mite') Jones to break down the re-
sistory powers of Billie "Stonewalr)
Jackson, hostess at the Idle Hour
Cafe, in Panama City. Billie is a
perfect lady and has been eminently
successful in breaking up the amat-
tory advances of the males. On the
other hand, Dynamite" has never
yet met the girl who could say no to
him. Fate and gambling seamen
aboard the U. S. S. Dakota combine
to pit the chastity of "Stonewall'
against the worldliness of "Dyna-
mite And it is out of this conflict
that the salty comedy of the piece
springs.
A group of young players give a
lively Interpretation of Sailor Be-
ware. Performing with verve and
gusto are Richard Courtney, Phyllis
Cornell, Forney Reese, Isham Keith,
Logan Tontz, Louise Platt, Catherine
Dierkin and Mary Quimby.

GOOD ROADS CLUB NEWS

The Good Roads Club met at r. H.
Stuart's on Monday evening, March
A. Despite bad roads and mud the
meeting was well attended.
Various matters of Importance
were discussed and acted upon. A
motion was passed whereby the Club
will resume action relative to the
permanent improvement of the road
leading from Rising Sun to the
Pennsylvania Line, known as the
Red Pump. Definite steps will be
taken which we believe will lead to
the ultimate construction of hard
surfaced road, replacing the present
dirt road.
1t would seem to the members
that the business men of Rising Sun
who are in favor of progress, should
lend their support at this time.
After routine affairs were taken
care of, refreshments were served
and a pleasant evening spent.
The next meeting will be at J. L..

.'L'AtGtoN" AT FoRD's THEATRE
Eva LeGallienne And New York Civic
Repertory will Appear In
9IomIlIea


"L'Aiglon 1.-THE Eaglet"), in
which Eva LeGallienne and the New
York Civic Repertory Company will
appear at Ford's, Baltimore, prom
ises to be one of the most important
plays of the present season. This
production will open at Ford's, Mon
day evening, March IL, for three
nights and one matinee (Wednes-
day..
In France, when "L'Aiglon" was
first produced, it created a political
furore. The present version, adapt
ed by Clemence Dane from Rostand's
drama, brings to the theatre ro-
mantle and powerful play, dealing
with the only son of the great Ma
poleon. The period is 1880, time
of political intrigue when the shadow
of revolution lowered over Europe.
Eva LeGallienne will be seen as
"L'iAiglon", Duke of Reichstadt, the
famous prisoner of Austria who was
held in Vienne by Metternich for
fourteen years. The play covers the
most dramatic events in the life of
this young French prince.
Richard Addinsell has written a
special musical score that will be
synchronized with the play. The set
tings designed by Aline Bernstein
re-create the period of the Imperial
Austrian Empire, then in the height
of its glory. The play is in three
acts, six scenes. The New York
Civic Repertory Company including
Merle Madden, Paul Leyssac, Az
erell Harris, Sayre Crawley, Leona
Roberts, Walter Beck, Donald Cam
eron, Marion Evensen and Florida
Friebus, will be seen in the role of
many historical personages connect
ed with the Imperial Court of Aus
tria.

Millions Of persons throughout
