Strand Attraction
: How many times we have read or
6»A„_c£- ^btrat the slum districts of
[ /London’s Hast Knd, known as the
I Whitechapel district, or about the
fatuous Sporting Clubs of Paris, and
wished wo might take a trip there j
i ;o see for ourselves.
Beginning Monday at the Strand i
f theatre, we can see all these scenes
in the stupendous ten-reel photo- I
play, "Determination.” The story j
takes us from London to Paris and j
bark again. On the screen are
lashed scenes of Whitechapel; a
large ball given by a Duke and
Duchess at their magnificent Lon
don home; the den of crooks: the
little mission doing if* best to make
real men and women from human
derelicts. Then we are taken to ,
Paris where we. see the Interior of
ne of her not'd gambling estab- I
lrhraents. with its men and women 1
habitues in evening dress feverish- j
ly watching the outcome of the j
cames of chance: the Apache's Den
where those notorious denizens of
:he underworld plot tlieir doings; a
losing match at one of her famous
•porting clubs; a horse race and so
t goes until one feels the thrill of
having been there tn person. The
rhe most amazing thing of it all is
rat every foot of film was actually
laken in this country. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars were spent in
• ccurately reproducing these scenes
•f London and Parts. Persons who
have bsen there many times and a ho ;
Have viewed the picture state It is
difficult to believe the scenes were
not photographed in London and
Paris, so truly do they picture these (
places.

BURGLARS GET JEWELRY
FROM METUCHEN HOME
METI’CHEN. April K.—The Rec-.
lor street home of C. E. Mundy of I
the local school board, was rt»
iied by burglars between H and 9.
c'clook last ntght while the family
was attending Lenten service* at the
Episcopal church. A diamond ring,
gold watch, necklace and some
money were taken, but Liberty
Ronds and a quantity of money were |
overlooked by the intruder. These j
were in Mr. .Mundy’s desk.
It is the opinion of the family
that th"y were followed by a man
while o. their way to church. This ,
party may have made sure that the ,
family went to church and then re- j
turned to the home to make his
houl. Entrance was gained by a :
pass key and the residence was ran- |
sacked from top to bottom.
A report of the robbery was made |
to the warden’s office at New Bruns

WITH
HARRY T. MOREY, KATHLYN WILLIAMS, FAIRE
BINNEY, MATT MOORE, GRACE VALENTINE
ROLAND BOTTOMLEY
The story of “A Man’s Home” is declared to be a re
flection of home life in America. The axiom in English Jaw
that “a man’s home is his castle and he has a right to de
fend it,” while not the basis of the plot, has a bearing on the
progress of the details. The Selznick organization declares
that the appeal of the picture is to the American’s love of
home.

Onh of tHE BIG Scenes in “Orphans of -the Sxorm. "
Monday at Dltmas
A motion picture development of a
tcopa never before equalled, and pre
sented in a manner far more, elabor
ate than any yet attempted, is what
I; O. W. Griffith promises the people
of Perth Amboy, when at the Dit
Theatre next week, his latest
; srark. “Orphansof the Storm.” an
k
he has taken Kate Claxton's oft-used
version and on a gigantic scale added
to it characters and scenes of the
French Revolution.
That Mr. Griffith has in "Orphans
of the Storm." a United Artists re
lease. made every effort to advance
the motion picture art to a degree
of high order may be realized from
the fact that he was more than a
year in completing this work; that
he called to his aid tile leading au
^thjriuys of thf vrprl'yg.nd
architects, artists, research experts
and others to all parts of Europe In
search of correct data and authentic
information.
In order properly to plcturize old
Paris of more than a century gotie
by Mr. Griffith obtained pr.nts and
maps wherever available and in some
instances where rare plates might
not be had outside famous museums
and libraries, got permission to do
so, sent his representatives to sketch
or.c^py UjW,<oriine, As a resist he,
[rebuilt that city, in a sense, stone
upon stone.
Ten thousand actors were used by
Mr. Griffith in the malting of this
picture. The title roles are played
by Lillian Gish and Dorothy Gish.
Other principals are Joseph Schlld
kraut, Frank Losee. Catherine Em
mett, Morgan Wallace. Lucille La
Verne. Monte Blue. Sidney K. Her
bert, Sheldon Lewis, Frank Puglia,
Creighton Hale. Leslie Kink. Kate

“THE HAUNTED HOUSE”
A WORD ABOUT THE PRICE OF ADM88ION '
D. W. GRIFFITH, the producer of this great photo
play, on behalf of the management of the DITMAS Thea
tre, guarantees that this picture will not be shown in this
state or other states for leu than 75c admission. How
ever, we have been fortunate in convincing Mr. Griffith
that under the present conditions we would be compelled
to charge a lower admission price than usually obtained,
in order to make the run of this great production in this
city a success. W® are therefore glad to announce that
our prices will be 50c and 75c including war tax for the
night performances and 50c for matinees.
The management of the DITMAS is proud to have
been successful in obtaining this production which is con
sidered the biggest and most interesting production ever
placed on the screen. We feel that the price charged is
only a fraction of its true value.
In connection with this great production we have ob
tained a complete orchestra to furnish the same music
wring used at the Apollo Theatre, New York, where the
production is now being run.
TIME OF 8HOWS
Due to the length of this program it will be impos
sible to give more than two shows a day. The time of
the matinees will be 2 o’clock.
At Night the Box Office will open at 7 o’clock. At
7:30 o’clock the News will appear on the Screen; at 7:45
Buster Keaton’s Comedy and at 8:15 “Orphans of the
Storm.”
