SINCLAIR LEWIS A
LECTURER

o. o. Mcintyre, in his column
"Around New York" says the fol-
lowing about Sinclair Lewis:
Sinclair Lewis has become one
of the better bets in the field OF
lecture. He not only gives lecture
but as a rule puts on a show for
good measure. Especially does he
seem to enjoy himself at the lee
lures to a largely dowager audi
ence at Town Hall.
He works himself up into a red
faced rage over nothing at all.
tousles his hair and rants-striding
up and down and perhaps shrieking
a bit. All done, one suspects, with a
tongue In cheek. People have seen
him INDUCING the same sort of
carvings on for the amusement
of guests at private parties.
Lewis is not particularly fin
ished speaker, but he holds an
audience by the sheer grip Of his
tense enthusiasm. He has the knack
of making the most trivial thing
appear something stupendous.

CABIN KIDS AT MARVA
THEATRE One DAY ONLY

If there is anything cutter than one
Pickaniny-it's five. And the novel
and entertaining presentation of the
Cabin Kids is the talented offerings
of five picaninnies. Ranging in age
from seven years to fourteen, attired
in hair ribbons, starched dresses, and
suits for boys.
The five children offer a knockout
singing and comedy act.
They were recently featured in the
motion picture Mississippi" creating
a huge success. They have also ap-
peared on the radio as guest artists
supporting Rudy Valee, and Paul
Whiteman.
In their stage appearances they in
dulge in cross-fire comedy chatter,
sing hot and special numbers in har-
monte ensemble form, and one little
lad does a solo.
Their youth and appearance is ap-
pealing and are bound to make a hit
with any audience.
They will appear at the Marva
Theatre, Pocomoke City, Md, Friday,
April 10th, only.

For reasons pretty well known,
Berlin and Snow Hill were arrayed a.
gainst the bill; Ocean City and Po-
comoke in favor. On the third read
ing in the House, it was defeated. A
motion to reconsider prevailed, and the
vote following showed a constitution
al majority. Governor Nice attach
his signature to the measure and it
became law. Just what political
schism will follow remains to be seen.
The boundaries of Pocomoke were
somewhat enlarged by an act of this
session. 1t is said that some error
had crept in when the latest boundary
limits were extended and this enact
ment was only to correct that. How
ever, the new lines will include, so it
is said, the high school building.

CLOSES SESSION
ON MONDAY, 5
Usual Wild Scenes Attended The

MUCH DELAY is
CAUSED BY LATE BUDGET.

The Maryland General Assembly
closed on Monday last after a rather
hectic session. 1t seemed to have
much difficulty in getting to work on
the budget and apparently this has to
be settled before important legislation
bearing thereon can be enacted.
Somebody has said that the 1887
session will go down in history, well
known as the "Curly Byrd Session."
due to the fact that he swooped down
upon it for his hundreds of thousands
and then flew away with it safely
clutched in his talons. Curly seems
to know how to find his way about
the marble halls Of the Capitol in old
Annapolis. His hobby is the Mary
land University, and he, somehow or
other, makes the boys ride it whenever
he likes, or gives the order. He got
enough out of the state treaury to buy
his winter coal at least, or to pro-
vide good quarter back for next
falls football squad.
Locally, the most important act
passed was that which enabled the
Mayor and City Council to see enough
money forthcoming to pay for the
Building bonds for at least
two years. This bill precipitated a
hard fight in the House after exper-
fencing no trouble in the Senate. 1t
provides $3.50 division of net profits
derived. from the dispensary liquor
sales, between the Board of County
Commissioners, and the four larger
towns in the county: Ocean City, Ber-
