SATURDAY, MAY 6lh, Dan’l Frohma" presents Mary Pick ford as “CINDERELLA.” The story of Cinderella is too well known to require a lengthy description, but all the familiar beauties of the tale are enhanced in the photo-production, with many added odd touches, pathetic, romantic and humorous. The haughty sisters will be seen in all their conceit j and grotesque ugliness, the cruel and pa- | trician stepmother, who is all sweetness to her own daughters, and all unkindness to Cinderella; the handsome Prince who wins the cinder-girl’s heart, and loses his I own to her, in the forest, where he first! meets her, staggering under a load of j faggots, and who ever after dreams of , her as the Princess of his soul and throne which she afterwards becomes in reality. The tender and picturesque aspects of the subject are bound to make the photo play one of the most delightful ever of fered. WEDNESDAY, MAY 10TH, Daniel Froman presents Florence Reed in the famous emotional drama, “THE DANCING GIRL.” “The Dancing Girl” might have been written for the camera, so full of action and picturesqueness is every scene, the colorful exteriors of the rocky coast of “The Isle of Endelion” contrasting with the rich interiors of the elegant home of profligate Duke of Guiseberry, under whose patronage the dancing girl lives for a time. Perhaps the greatest inci dent of the play is the famous “staircase scene,” where Drucilla, at the zenith of her fame, having come to dance before the Duke’s own family, declares to her amazed and angry old Quaker father, who comes in search of her, that she wants to be “the topmost rose on the topmost bough, and live in the sunshine,” and is crushed by the terrible wrath of a fath er’s curse. Tottering for a moment, she faints, and falls the length of the grand staircase, and awakes to consciousness, knowing at last the havoc she has made of her life and the shame she is to her people. The tragedy of this is followed by the splendid scene in which occurs the meeting of peeitent Drusilla with the nobleman on the lonely coast of Endellion where both have come to seek death, and where they decide to rebuild their shat tered lives and to share a newer, purer life. Advertisement Will Hold Union Service. Meeting In St. John’s Lutheran Church, Sunday, May 7th. On Sunday morning next at 10.30 o’clock, a Union Service will be held in St. John’s Lutheran church, at which time Dr. W. W. Davis, general secretary of the Lord’s Day Alliance of Maryland, and Dr. Howard A. Kelly, of Baltimore, will address the congregation on the proper observance of the Sabbath. These noted speakers have been tour ing every county in Maryland, their aim being to interest people in the observ ance of Sunday, a Holy Day, and also see that laws are not enacted by the Maryland Legislature which will destroy the sancity of the day. “The General Assembly of Maryland of 1916 had seven bills introduced pro posing to modify our Sunday law. "I. TheGriebel and Distler Bills legal izing the general delivery of ice in Balti limore City on the Lord’s Day, The leg islature protected the hard worked ice men in their right to Sunday as a rest day by defeating both bills. “2. The Herpich Bill, legalizing Sun day selling of certain luxuries by four classes of dealers, was introduced as a state-wide measure. Every political unit in the state asked to be exempted except Talbott and Allegany counties. By Monday, March it was quite evident the Talbott delegation had herad from “the folks at home,” and they asked to have Talbott exempted. Herpich’s Bill then ceased to be state-wide and became local, applying only to Allegany with Delegate Smith against it. “Delegate Duke, of Baltimore, elected to the Legislature from the First Legis lative District, but living in the Third, introduced three bills to modify our Sun day law, but all three were defeated. They were as follows: “A bill to license Sunday Moving Pict ures. Tne Ways and Means Committee, after a hearing, ordered an unfavorable report on Tuesday, March 28, but it was never reported to the House of Dele gates. “A bill to license Sunday business for those who keep as their Sabbath some ether day than the Lord’s Day. The City Delegation, through its chairman, Mr. Lee, after a hearing, reported this bill unfavorably. The adoption of this re port by the House defeated the bill. “Mr. Duke’s third bill, legalizing Sun day Brass Bands with military organiza tions died in the Senate Committee on Militia. ” These gentlemen will speak in Walk ersville Saturday evening of this week. Early Sunday morning they will be in Woodsboro, and in Thurmont at 10.30. Sunday afternoon and evening they will visit churches in Emmitsburg and vicini ty. Everybody is urged to attend these services. M. E. Church Gains 2,561. At the meeting of the Methodist Epis copal preachers Monday morning at Eu taw street church, Baltimore, 2,561 new members were reported as having joined the church since the opening of the Billy Sunday campaign. At the Methodist Protestant Preachers Meeting at 316 N. Charles street about 1,000 were reported with prospects of 500 more. Baptists and Presbyterians are believed to have nearly an equal record with the latter, with some churches of other denomina tions profiling largely. The Rev. E. D. Stone seems to have captured the record for Hampden Meth odist Episcopal church with 225 actual new members and more in prospect; Walbrook with 196, Madison Square with 173; East Baltimore Station with 120, and Fuller Memorial Baptist with 105 are others in the lead; Abbott Memorial Pres byterian and Union Square Methodist Episcopal church are pressing them close.
