i
i Hoys of all ageß and types, but of an
, equal degree of enthusiasm, as
sembled this afternoon at the Circle
Playhouse to enjoy the special enter
tainment prepared for them through
the courtesy of Manager Reed of that
theatre. Not only was the house turn
ed over to the lads, but Mr. Reed saw
to it that a program especially pleas
ing to the boys was shown and, in
order that their good time might be
i complete, the high school orchestra
was on hand to delight them with
music that was “snappy” and full of
rhythm.
Hchools Suspend Today
As a consequence of the plans for
the afternoon, there was no school af
ter 2 o’clock at the Annapolis, Ger
mantown, West Annapolis or East
port grammar schools, and the boys,
their faces and hands scrubbed shin
ingly clean, and dressed In their Sun
day best, gathered at the Circle in
holiday spirits to get the very most
out of the afternoon’s show, as only a
boy knows how.
Week lias Been Huge Success
This entertainment, which made a
real “hlt’V with the lads, was one of
the special features of the Boys’
Week program which has been “put
across” by the local Rotary Club and
which bus achieved superb success
in the accomplishment of many ben
efits for the youth of this and sub
urban communities. The observance
of Hoys' Week, which ended with this
j afternoon’s event at the Circle Play
house, has been marked by such en
ergetic enthusiasm on the part of all
interested in the youngsters’ welfare,
as well as of the boys themselves,
that the plans for local playgrounds
arc now well under way with a sub
stantial fund contributed by the busi

CADET BAXTER Of ST.
1 JOHN’S WINS SECOND
HONOR FOR ORATORY
Speaking on the subject “The Spirit
of America,” William C. Baxter,
representing St. John’s College, won
! second honors in the annual contest
of the Oratorical Association of Mary
land Colleges, held in alumni hall of
Western Maryland College, at West
minster, last night.
First honors went to Washington
College. The successful orator was
Townshend Hows, whose address was
entitled “A Basis for World Govern
ment.” The contest was extremely
close between Howes and Baxter.
I)r. A. N. Ward, president of West
ern Maryland College, presided over
the ceremonies and delivered an ad
dress of welcome, and the response
was made by Prof. Sydney S. Handy,
of the chair of English at St. John’s,
who is the local representative on
the Intercollegiate body.
For Western Maryland was Clifford
H. Richmond, whose topic was “They
Shall Pay.” The University of Mary
land was represented by Aubrey F.
Wardwell, whose topic was “Weighed
in the Balance."
The Judges were Dr. P. Kuhl, De
partment of English, Goucher Col
lege; Dr. Samuel M. North, Maryland
State Department of Education, and
Prof. H. J. Fenton, Department of
English, United States Naval Acad
emy.
PURCHASING MARKET
NOW OPEN TO FRUIT
GROWERS OF COUNTY
The appointment of Thomas L. M.
Mears as the Anne Arundel county
representative of the Fruit Growers
Nurseries of Wayne county. New
York, opens for the farmers and di
rectors of Anne Arundel county a
purchasing market for all of the
county need for stock.
The Fruit Growers’ Nurseries are
not limited as their name would ap
pear to indicate to the selling of fruit
tree saplings only. Their line in
cludes everything in berries, grape
vines, ornamental and shade trees,
weeping trees, evergreens, shrubs,
hedging, bulbs, etc.
The northern grown sapling is said
to have advantages for planting in
southern climates inasmuch as its be
ing l red in a cold climate makes it
particularly alle to stand the slight
changes of temperature which occur
in Maryland. There is nothing new
alout the purchasing locally of north
ern grown plants, but the establish
ment of the agency with Mr. Mears
gives the first direct contact that
Anne Arundel county has been of
fered in this way.

Undoubtedly destined to mark the
triumphal climax of the many artistic
musical comedies and dramatic pro
ductions staged at St. Mary’s Hall
, during the past season, “The Man
Who Owns Broadway,” which was
given its first performance there last
night, made an instantaneous hit with
the extremely enthusiastic audience.
With J. L. Convery, who has given un
stiutingly of his talent and energy to
make this show the “best ever,” dir
ecting it, the success of the produc
tion was assured. The popularity of
Mr. Convery, both as an actor and
director, is not to be marveled at, in
asmuch as he combines more than his
share of dramatic talent with untiring
vigor and an ability to get the most
out of every member of the cast.
In addition to Mr. Convery’s splen
did acting and directing, however, it
is to be noted that every other mem

eye to their talents and suitability

into the requisite singing and acting

INVITED TO ROW IN
POUGHKEEPSIE RACE
The Naval Academy may yet with
draw its recent declaration that its
crew would not be permitted to com
pete in the 1923 Poughkeepsie regatta,
is the belief of college rowing circles
at Poughkeepsie.
In view of the Navy’s impressive
victories over Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology so far this season and the
prospect that the middies are slated
for another season of triumphs, the
stewards of the Intercollegiate Row
ing Association are reported to have
renewed their invitation for Annapo
lis to race on the Hudson. The Navy’s
answer may come after the race on
Lake Carnegie tomororw, when the
middies row against Princeton and
Harvard.

pictures of the schools of Maryland
and a talk by Mr. Holloway of Bal

GOMOUAK
TWO OTHERS ARE FINED
FOR VIOLATIONS OF LAW
Because of lack of sufllcient evi
dence to convict, a jury in the Cir
cuit Court this morning acquitted
Joseph Gomoljak, who had been in
dicted by the grand jury on a charge
of violating the liquor laws.
In the case of Andy Johnson, in
dicted for gambling, a plea of guilty
was entered, and a fine of $6O was
imposed, this being in consideration
of the fact that he was not operat
ing an establishment but a partici
pant in a game.
Richard Simms, colored, indicted
for selling liquor at the Star Cafe
West street, pleaded not guilty, was
tried lefore a Jury. Verdict of guilty
was returned, and Judge Moss fined
Simms $250 and costs, and sent him
to jail for four months.
Trial of the case of Paul Codd, and
Leonard Gentile, indicted for gamb
ling, by making books on horse races,
has been set for Tuesday of next
week. Upon completion of business
today, the Court adjourned until that
date.
The county grand jury which has
been in a recess for the last week,
also will be reconvened on that day.
and it is expecftd it will file a re
port as a result of its investigation
and be discharged, unless there are
some other matters to be brought up
for consideration.

CHUN TO PRODUCE
PLAT "IN DOIL LAND"
Two Hundred From City And
County Clubs Being Coached
By Miss Burch
AT “CIRCLE” ON MAY 15
Under the direction of Miss Mary
Burch, of the Y. W. C. A., the children
of the various town and county clubs
will give the play, “In Doll Land,” on
May 15, in the Circle Playhouse.
“In Doll Land” is one of the most
unusual plays that Miss Burch has
ever given, and is one full of laughs
a-plenty. It is the story of two little
girls’ experiences in “Doll Land,” and
is a very interesting and quaint story.
Among the dolls that the children im
personate will be “Limpy, the Rag
Doll, the King of all dolls, and his
chorus of Rag-Dolls, the Tin Soldiers
and their captain will do all sorts of
intricate military drills with the in
fantry and cavalry.
Big C lown And LltUe Clown
Hoop-la, the Clown, will be there,
and all the little clowns, who will give
a fascinating dance; then “Fat-Sing,”
the Chinese Doll, and her chorus of
little “Chinee” will be most delight
ful. The most gorgeous of all dolls
will be the French Doll, for she will
be resplendent in real Parisian finery,
and every one loves a French doll
The picturesque Quaker dolls will add
a note of quaintness in their soft gray
costumes. The Sailor dolls will give a
song and dance, and the Colonial dolls
will show one how he statelv minuet
should be danced. A note of some
thing different will be the funny Me
chanical dolls and the Scotch dolls,
with their “Highland Fling,” will give
a touch of the unusual.
Two Hundred In Cast
The story is one of great interest
and will prove as delightful to
“grown-ups” as to the little ones.
The cast numbering 200 include chil
dren from the ages of four to fifteen
years. There will be a matinee per
formance on Tuesday, May 15, at 4
p. m., for children, and an evening

in the Circle Playhouse. The prices
for the matinee will be 25 cents for
