Organization All Ready to
Start Campaign for Funds
for Coming Year
Perth Amboy's day nursery move
ment was begun by the civic de
portment of the Woman s Club. The
I—QfUtlon was formed in 1812. It
s maintained by private subscrip
tion hut ns is the case with every
undertaking of this kind the contri
butions do not always meet the
needs. The advanced cost of all
Kinds of supplies has greatly in
creased the cost of maintaining the
jay nursery and for this reason the
Hoard of Managers is seeking many
new subscribers to odd to its list by
means of the drive to start on Mon
day and to continue throughout the
sreek.
During the year the day nursery
•askets have been sent through the
city, a notice being published in the
•T jus: ; i. .. d.ng >• tid
ing. This distribution ha* been at- |
omplished through the Red Cross ^
Motor Corps under the direction of |
Mrs. Seguine, the head of the motor |
rorps. In the baskets are placed
lists of the things most needed and !
n this way provision supplies have '
seen replenished.
The Board of Managers takes this
opportunity to thank the people of I
Perth Amboy vho have so generous- !
ly contributed to the maintenance |
of the nursery. The fiubllc schools j
•law tx wiai w wi invir x iituma
giving donations and have helped
the nursery cause greatly.

THEATRES
Today and Monday a» I'rrwnK
•‘In Japan." miniature mu ska
1 comedy with four people and spe
cial scenery, headlines the wonder
ful vaudeville presented at the Cres
cent theatre today. This act pre
sents to the people of this city de
lightful singing and Inst enough
‘comedy to make the act attractive
Austin and Allen in from Itroadwny
to Orient is a delightful song and
dance act that Drought forth much
applause.
I.eander nnd Whiteflcld, in a study
in black alforded the audience yes
terday and last night much amuse
ment. while John Keene, singing
comedian, was a big hit with hi?
songs and snappy stories. Urown
and Owens in "Hits of Today." add
led much to the value of the per
I formance. The photoplay shown in
connection with this big show is “A
Daughter of the Law,” starring Car
mel Myers.
On Monday the Crescent presents
another big vaudeville show and the
photoplay, the "Last Chance,” feat
uring Franklyn Farnum.
Monday at the Dttinas
There have been only a few occa
sions in the whole history of the
screen where motion picture pro
ductions have taken in as much as
a million dollars above the cost of
distribution—In other words where
such an amount has gone to the pro
ducing organization.
Therefore "Theodora," the Gold
wvn sensation, which opens at Dit
m'as theatre Monday famishes an
entirely new experience. Kven at
the preecnt rate of exchange it coat
1 more than $$.000,000 to produce
alone. This was In Italy and does
r.ot represent cost of prints or any
of the expenses in assembling, pre
paring. advertising or presenting the
picture.
It is easy to see. therefore, that
••Theodora” must make more than
five times what any motion picture
in history has made In order to
"break even" with actual cost. How
ever, according to Ooldwyn the
throngs that are crowding theatres
for record runs wherever "Theo
. Jor.t” has been shown give promise
! that the receipts wilt reach by the
time it has gone through the whole
| country this staggering, yet neces
I nary total.
Hut even If it does. It is likely to
! he a long time before others take
a chance with a $5,000,000 invest
ment before a cent begins to come
ln- _
At tho Majestic
They are billing their vaudeville
show "The Treat of the Season,”
this week at the Majestic and it well
lives up to the name. It is a snappy
show front start to finish. Sidney &
Cooper start things moving with
their versatile musical and acrobatic
novelty and pleased immensely.
Leonard, a very clever dancer had
the audience in an uproar with his
comedy and eccentric dancing. R. lT.
Married is said to be one of the
best comedy playlets presented nnd
scored heavily. Fisher & Silk, two
boys walked away with the laughing
hit of the ahow. and the audience
had to be coaxed to let them leave
the stage.
The Radio Girt. * ten people re
view is without doubt one of the best
acts seen here this season. The acts
carried *25,000 worth of wardrobe,
and pretty girls to wear it. There
are also several surprises including
an 18 foot python snake weighing
100 pound*. Gene Morgan was a
big hit with his funny stories and
dancing. The Yosito Jap made the
audience wish for more, with their
European novelty offering. It Is .a
show you should not mis*.
Coniine to Uic Strand
Probably never before in the ids
tory of moving pictures has a film
been made which entailed such a
vast amount of detail as "'Foolish
Wives." the super-feature produced
under the direction of Erich von
Stroheim at Universal City, and
which is to he shown at the Strand
Theatre all next week.
Eighteen volumes devoted to de
scription annd Illustrations of Mon
aco and Monie Carlo were brought
hy I<e Roy Armstrong, the studio
librarian, from Nice, France, for
reference In securing the minutest
details of the picturesque prtnei
pality which the outside world
knows chiefly for its sumptuous
gambling casino.
The picture called for work on a
set representing a suite in the Hotel
de Paris at Monte Carlo for which
the furniture and decorations were
copied from actual photographs,
while the towels, bedspreads, nap
kins and other linens were embroid
ered with the crest and name of
the hotel. This conformity to detail
Is typical of that observed for the
entire Aim.
In one particular set representing
a view of Monte Carlo from the
sea. it was necessary to have ma
jestic rows of cypress trees to partly
conceal the pretentious structures
from the Mediterrsnean. To com
plete this scene eighty cypress trees
were ordered by von Stroheim to he
transplanted from Del Monte to
Monterey.
Twenty thousand square feet of
lawn were transplanted from the
front lawn of the studio to the back
ranch for the Monte Carlo set to
lend general attractiveness to the
scene.
A caravan of *00 people journey
ed from the studio to Monterey at
one time, for the reproduction of
some of the most interesting scenes
in the whole film. Bridges, terraces,
roads and whole woods were built
up to make this gigantic scene true
to the original.

Colossal Drama

where even Saints are Sinners
Pictorially surpasses anything
ever achieved in pictures—dramat
ically grips, fascinates and
enthralls you—a complex magnifi

simplicity that drowns you in a sea of
emotion—the one picture that
positively you must see.
