Post Office Open
During Afternoon
To Serve Mailers
In order to accommodate persons
with packages and cards to get away,
the Henderson post office abandoned
the usual Saturday afternoon holiday
and today kept open shop all after
noon. The windows wore open until
the usual week-day closing hours.
Mailings have been unusually heavy
and the purchase of stamps has also
shown a tremendous perking up dur
ing the week. But extra help has been
put on at the post office, and the
large and efficient crews are handling
the huge volume of business in a
manner that makes cards and pack
ages melt away into the channels of
distribution almost as fast as they are
deposited in the mail bins.

DRAMA AND 11UMOU
Beer, hustles, bicycles, balloon
sleeves "The Bowery.’’
Uproarious fun, robust drama, gay
nights and happy days in the gay
nineties are features of "The Bowery”
20th Century’s first picture, starring
Wallace Beery, George Raft and
Jackie Cooper, with Fay Wray and
Port Kelton, and showing Sunday and
Monday at the Vance Theatre.
All the atmosphere of “the livest
mile on the face of the globe,” it is
said, has been preserved for “The
Bowery” by director Raoul Walsh, j
The action or the picture also includes
the Park Row approach to Brooklyn
Bridge, the old Bridge itself as it was
when Steve Brodie jumped from its
center span, Brighton Beach and a
score of ott»sr shots and scenes from
“The Bowery” itself as it was in the
davs of yore.
John L Sullivan, “Chuck” Connors,
Steve Brodie and Carrie Nation, four
real-life characters, appear in “The
Bowery,” all of them doing their stuff
in approved Bowery style.
Mingling with the “big shots o
the nineties are the other denizens
of The Bowery—sporting men
from the Pell-Mott-Doyer Ch * nS
Peacock Alley beauties, Orientals
tin-horn gamblers, wire-tappers,
game workers, sailors, Bowcrj •
mid girls, bar-flies, honky tonk enter
tainers; and the picturesque hum
flies, honky tonk entertainers, and

The case took a surprising turn
! yesterday morning when the defen-'

whereupon he too left, the automobile, j
he testified. When he returned she i
was under the steering wheel and re- j

cepted the bottle of liquor he carried
