Here is a spring frock of fine crepede chine in the color called "burntrusset," which is a new name for adeep henna-red. It is simply designed,in the straight-line style, with a lit-tle modish fullness introduced at thesides, but it is a difficult and beauti-ful piece of craftsmanship, becausethe fabric is entirely covered withpin tucks. The perfect accuracy ofthis tucking places the frock in thedistinguished class.

Natural-colored pongee is used forthe collar and caffs, which are-plain,and make an ideal color contrast withthe frock. Everything about thedress, its color, style and fabrics, com-mend for wear now and throughoutthe season.

"OLD MISS," PLANTATIONMANAGER

Miss Effie Moncure and I, friends ofa half hour, were lunching on shrimpsand rice. It was a quaint little res-taurant, not to be duplicated in anymetropolis. Neither are shrimps andrice, cooked as these were cooked, tobe duplicated outside of Dixieland—or of Shreveport, for all I know. Cer-tainly Miss Moncure is unique in her"side line."

"I'll have to get back to work fair-ly early," she suddenly said. "Myblack folks come in for supplies thisafternoon." Therein lay a romance ofthe feudal age. But the lord of thecastle had become a lady! And thelady was the pretty young person whohad introduced herself merely as "anaverage private secretary."

A leading lawyer of this Louisianatown is also, by inheritance, a planter.His acres are planted to cotton, culti-vated on shares. Bach of Ms fifteennegro families has 20 acres. Thesharing scheme has become heredi-tary, a voluntary serfdom. The preach-er, for instance, is son of five genera-tions of negro preachers born on thesame soil, illiterate and perpetually indebt to the current generation of own-ers. "Wildcat," a negro of recent lit-erary fame, grew up, Miss Moncuresays, on "her place."

When the owner had to go West forhis health, she inherited his oversightof the place. Last year, despite floods,replanting and low prices, she man-aged'to make the rent and a $3,000profit as against no rent and a $2,000deficit before she took charge. Shehas to advance supplies of every sortfor the full year in the proportionthese childlike negroes need, notwant; see that enough corn and al-falfa are raised for stock and that allwork steadily. She has to share alltheir joys and sorrows, yet retain theirrespect. Their nickname, "Old Miss,"--applied to her under-thirty self, is thefinal proof of their devotion and trustin her, Shreveport folk say.

That Mias Moncure has personalitygoes without saying. She is the firstwoman of her family to work outsideher home. Her grandmother was "theearliest white woman settler on thelast river bank along the Texas traii"and thus a founder of the oldest fam-ily of Shreveport. Miss Moncure, tobecome a stenographer, made sure shecould "spell, translate French law,and look up authorities," and thustook herself outside the mediocreclass before she started.

She believes that by staying hi thesmaller place a woman has "a betterchance of becoming known In busi-ness, and retains the social positionwhich means good times."

Winter Driving MethodsAre Cited in Bulletin

"Keep warm and be safe," says thetouring and transportation board ofthe American Automobile associationin a special bulletin issued from head-quarters as a warning to motoristsplanning extensive winter toursthroughout sections of the countrywhere winter driving is becoming therule rattier than the exception.

The A. A. A. board points out thatcarelessness in cold weather drivingis largely the result of being cold,"Keep as warm as possible when tour-ing in cold weather, and it will beeasier to observe the simple rules ofcaution," it urges.

"These should include suitable cloth-ing, particularly warm gloves," saysthe bulletin. "Too many drivers are

handicapped by 'numb fingers duringtheir winter trips so that if they arecalled upon to rectank the motor in anemergency, dim the headlights or shiftgears they are at a loss.

"It is foolhardy to attempt to maEegreat mileage without sufficient stop-overs for hot food. It requires moreenergy to fight the elements in winter,and drivers cannot afford to feel thatbecause they are stimulated by thesnappy air they can endure more stren-uous driving.

"Keeping warm is the first rule ofkeeping safe in cold weather. Closedcars are proving their value-in thisconnection, but even here the, motoristmust take the definite precautionsagainst subjecting himself to unneces-sary exposure, and thus to unneces-sary hazards."

Cold Water Likely toCrack Hot Cylinders

In the main, there is no dan-ger in pouring cold water intothe cooling system of the engine,no matter how hot tne lattermay be. But if so much of thewater has been lost that the topsof the cylinders are uncovered,the* engine should be allowed tocool off before the water systemis filled. The reason is obvious;If cold water is poured directly"on the hot cylinders where theyare exposed, there is danger ofcracking them, owing to the con-traction due to the rapid coolingeffect of the water.

Annual Cross-Word Puzzle

GOOD WORK, OLSEN.Third Ward Committeeman Arthur Olsen strove mightily

to convince the Public Service trolley company that its zonefrom Main street to Maurer's bridge was unfair in that itworked a needless hardship on workmen traveling to plants inMaurer. His efforts bore fruit this week in the announcementby Public Service officials that they consent to a change in zonelimits that will make it possible for Woodbridge people to ridefrom Green street, (instead of Main street) to Maurer's road(instead of Maurer's bridge) for one fare.

Both Mr. Olsen and Attorney Martin are to be given creditfor amicably and speedily settling a question that means somuch to a large number of Woodbridge workmen. The trac-tion company is to be congratulated on seeing the wisdom ofabolishing a rule that was palpably unfair to a portion of its-customers. It must be said in the corporation's favor that itshowed a splendid desire to truly be what its name implies ingranting the change of zone limits without forcing the township"to resort to an appeal to the Public Utilities Commission.

WHAT'S THE REASON?For some unaccountable reason the people of Woodbridge

lay very little stress on the annual Board of Education election.Each year but a handful of voters take the trouble to go to thepolls to determine the personnel of the body of men that is tohave charge of their schools. This is hard to understand.

If anything, the selection of men to fill offices on the schoolboard is more important than the selection of men on theTownship Committee. Even for those persons who have nochildren in the schools the importance of haying able men onthe school board must be apparent if for no better reason thanihat the annual school budget is greater than that for townshippurposes.

Taxpayers in Fords, Iselin, Hopelawn and Keasbey are,awake to the importance of the election Tuesday, they haveshown their interest by petitioning to have polls in their dis-tricts. Every year a larger proportion of the voters of thosedistricts than of Woodbridge turn out to the polls. What's thematter? • '

The poll at the high school opens at seven o'clock next'Tuesday evening. It would certainly be gratifying if Wood-Iridge turned over a new leaf and set a high vote record.

THRIFT—A FUNDAMENTAL.Most of us can make money; few of us have more than a

hazy idea of how that money can be systematically saved andmade to grow from a modest nest-egg into a fund of more pre-tentious proportions. In school was where we acquired theequipment that enables us to trade our labors for the where-withal to live but there was no subject in the curricula of ourday that taught the great truth that "it isn't what you earn butwhat you save that counts."

After a little more than two years during which the Edu-cational Thrift Campaign has been operated in several of ourlocal schools, pupils in those schools have amassed a small for- j by the society, solos being sung1 by

tune of 530,200. One of the classes at the high school, the'room in charge of Mr. Boehm, has equalled the National recordfor consecutive hundred per cent, weeks and is about to createa new record for classes in other schools of the country toshoot at. What does all this mean? It means that when theyounger generation reaches the age at which it leaves schooland goes to work the boys and girls will have had instilled intotheir minds a practical and workable plan of withholding—though it means a sacrifice—a certain proportion of their earn-ings for a "rainy day." And that is one of the soundest thingsa youngster can learn.

School savings bank balances increased from $11,807,000to $20,435,000 during the year ending June 30, according toan American Bankers' Association report. The number of sav-ings bank pupils increased 3.28,475, or, almost 17 per cent. Inone group of 400 districts the total number of pupils increased4 per cent., pupil bank participation 8 per cent, collections 23;per, cent., and bank balances 44 per cent. With the growingsense of responsibility, school honor rolls have grown from lessthan 3(T per cent, to more than 33 per cent.

Many an irresponsible man has been cured by giving himSomething to do. Many a "bad" boy, many a rebellious girl,©an be started on the safe road by the responsibility of a bankaccount. No child was ever helped by being robbed of theiarivilege of property; the two dangerous extremes of soeietyare the submerged few who have been so robbed, and the«xotic few who have so much that things have no intrinsicmeaning or value. This school bank account idea beats all thelanguages, dead or alive, for developing character and socialstamina. Let's have more of it; not for the riches themselves—we're rich enough, as a nation—but for what it will do inteaching responsibility.

The girls' basketball team at the high school is riding thehigh spots at the present writing. A little switching around inthe lineup, a bit of polishing of the art of floor work and, presto,the team ran up 52 points against Linden, a team that it haddefeated earlier in the season by the slim margin of one point.We venture it as our opinion that no girls' team in the countyhas a stronger attack than Woodbridge—and not many have abetter defense.

Woodbridge High School girls'team flashed great basketball Fridaynight in defeating Metuehen by ascore of 36-18. The visitors werenever able to get past Coach Koon'sdefense consistently except for a fewminutes at the start of the secondhalf when they dropped four fieldgoals in rapid succession only to bechecken by a furious spurt by Wood-bridge. It was the second victorythis season over Metuehen., Woodbridge presented a changedline-up, Anna Duff being shifted fromcenter to guard, while Margaret Olsentook her place. The switch workedlike a charm, Miss Duff proving herversatility in playing an air-tightguarding game and Miss Olsen dis-tinguishing her self by scoring fivefield goals and usually getting thejump on the opposing center. MissOlsen, by the way, is a freshman, andfor that reason her exhibition in herfirst varsity game is considered themore remarakable.

Dayer had distinguished herself inthe contest at Metuehen and was a"marked man" in Friday's fray. De-spite the fact that Metuehen guardshovered around her continually, at-tempting to offset the accurate shoot-ing ability that had cost them sodearly in the last game, she brokeloose on seven occasions and slippedthe ball through the net for double

At the start of the second halfMetuehen got under way like a house •afire, her attack giving fruit to aquartet of baskets in as many min-utes. Agreen and her crew checkedthe rally at that point by the simpleexpedient of taking the play out ofthe visitors' hands, Elsie opening upthe margin between the two teams byherself scoring twice in rapid suc-cession.

Edith Larsen and Grace Rankinfilled their positions in great shape,making it probable now that CoachKoons will play out the remainder ofthe season with the lineup that per-formed Friday. Followers of theteam are of the opinion that PerthAmboy is in for a surprise when shemeets Woodbridge for the secondtime. Amboy won the last game andby her victory was conceded topranking1 in the county championshiprace but it is by no means certain,that she will be able. to fulfill herdetermination to go through an un-defeated season. Woodbridge nowlooms as the one big hurdle she willhave to take.

1 record to last year's sextet of South4 Amboy at 44 points, but the local1 girls were not satisfied when they tied

this record and did not relax their ef-forts ' even when the half centurymark was reached. In spite of thedisastrous defeat of the Linden team,they stuck on and played well. Timeand time the Linden guards, particu-larly Modson, took the ball from thelocal forwards after a hard foughttussle. It must be remembered thatLinden was defeated by the locals onthe Linden court by the margin ofonly one point.

; Never did the local team work insuch superior harmony. The defensewas unexcelled, Linden got fourpoints in the second half, one pointin the last quarter, five field goals inthe entire game and a few fouls total-ing their end with 12 points.

tion to borrow money in anticipationof taxes.

To authorize the Board of Educa-tion to transfer balances that'may ex-ist in any account at the close of theschool year to such accounts as maybe benefited thereby.

rITH each year more andmore American tourists go bymotor car from London to- the

famous city of Stratford-on-Avon.a delightful ride of 93 miles throughsome of the most picturesque coun-try in the world.- To no town ha?the memory of one famous sonbrought greater fame than thaiwhich the memory of WilliamShakespeare has brought to Strat-ford. And people who go there nototilv visit Shakespeare's birthplace

but also Anne Hathaway's cottageat Shottery, a mile from Stratford.

This picturesque thatched cottagein which Shakespeare's wife wasborn, was purchased for the nationin 1892.

It has been said that nearly asmany Americans have visited Strat-ford and Shottery as have English.This is an exaggeration to be surebut America thinks of Shakespeareand his home town as a possessionof the world, not of England alone.

The Bus OperatorThe PUBLIC SERVICE BUS Operator is a new-

He got his job because PUBLIC SERVICE isproviding for the public a system of transporta-tion, that utilizes in the most efficient way streetcars and. motor buses working together.

"With 600,000,000 rides a year to be provided,with traffic congestion growing greater each day,and with the demand for transportation rapidlyincreasing, good bus service as well as good carservice is a necessity.

PUBLIC SERVICE has put two hundred newbuses in service, has rebuilt hundreds of old.buses, has provided needed garages, has openedwell-equipped repair shops and is training a corpsof skilled operators.

Trenton.—Governor Silzer nominat-ed Ms private secretary, FrederickM. P. Pearse, who Is a lawyer, to bea member o£ tie Board of Public Util-ity Commissioners and also re-ajFpointed Judge Francis M. McCauleyto preside for another term in FirBtHudson County District Court, whichsits in Union Hill. l

Third Five-Year TermThe term for which Judge Mc-

Cauley is re-named is five years. Itwill be his third term. GovernorSilzer evidently felt that the qualityof work done by Judge McCauley wassuch as to merit the recognition ofcontinuance on the bench.

County Register John J. McMahonwas opposed to the re-appointmentof Judge McCauley and had as hiscandidate former Assemblyman LewisB. Eastmead, of West Hoboken.

Named for Full TermThe appointment of Mr. Pearse is

for a term of six years, the full oneof a, commissioner. The position car-ries a salary of 112,000 a year.

After the nomination was sent inan executive session of the Senatewas called and the Republicansadopted a resolution in which theyrecommended that Harry V. Osbornawhom Mr. Pearse was named to suc-ceed, should be re-named.

The Senators discussed the ques-tion of returning the Pearse nomi-nation but took no action on It. TheDemocratic members of the Senatetook no part in the discussion.

Adoption of the resolutions by theSenate was most unusual but- wasconstrued as an indication of thehostility the members of that bodyhave constantly evinced against Gov-ernor Silzer. The resolutions wereas follows:

"Whereas by the statutes an.l theconstitution the Senate is under theduty of advising the Governor aswell as giving its consent to the ap-pointment of public officers.

"And whereas, the term of HarryV. Osborne as a member of the Board,of Public Utility Commissioners iaexpiring and the appointment of asuccessor Is in hand, and the qualityof service rendered by Mr. Osbornehas not only been beyond reproachbut, because of his courage, intelli-gence, integrity and experience isof such signal value to the state thatthe failure to re-appoint him will notonly result in great loss to the statebut will likewise be attributed by* thepublic to personal partisan motivesat the expense of the public welfare,and,

"Whereas, the duties and responsi-bilities of that position require a per-son of the ability, judgment and ex-perience of the present incumbent;

"Now, therefore be it resolved, thatthe Senate in executive session doesrespectfully advise His Excellency,the Governor, that in the judgment ofthe Senate the public welfare requiresthe appointment of Mr. Osborne tosucceed himself as a member of theBoard of Public Utility Commission-ers and respectfully advises deliber-ate consideration of this important ap-pointment."Pearse Wetf Qualified, Says Osborne

When Mr. Osborne, who was at theState House all day heard that Mr.Pearse had been named to succeedhim, he issued th,e following state-ment:

"I have enjoyed my work as a mem-ber of the Board of Public UtilityCommissioners and have tried con-scientiously to make it constructive-and worth while. The duties of theposition have been so exacting as totake practically all the time I couldiotherwise have devoted to the prac-tice of my profession.

"The appointment of Mr. Pearsewill enable me to resume the activepractice of law. Before his appoint-ment as secretary to the governor,Mr. Pearse frequently appeared be-fore the board respresenting munici-palities of which he was counsel. Inmy opinion he is well qualified toserve as a commissioner and he hasmy best wishes for success." ",

Among other nominations sent inby the Governor was that of Congress-man Charles Brown of Princeton, tosucceed the late Joseph M. Byrne ofNewark as a member of the Depart-ment of Institutions and Agencies.

To succeed Prosecutor Kelsey, ofBurlington county, whose work wasrecently taken over by the AttorneyGeneral by direction of SupremeCourt Justice Lloyd the Governornominated George M. Hillman, ofMount Holly. _

Two-Cent Gasoline TaxWhat has been a majority report of

the special commission to study motorvehicle taxation in the State becamea minority report through tha actionof William H. Roberts, Bergen countyFreeholder. Mr. Roberts had signeda report submitted previously, recom-mending among other things a tax ofone and a half cents a gallon on gaso-

line, in lieu of present levies on mo-torists.

Mr. Roberts rescinded his previousaction and signed what, until thattime had been the minority reportbut which thereupon became the ma-jority report. This calls for a tax of.two cents a gallon.

This latter report, submitted to theLegislature, is the one signed by Mo-tor Vehicle Commissioner Dill as amember of the Survey Commission.Six of eleven members had signedlast week's report. Mr. Roberts'action left last week's plan with onlyfive advocates.

In a statement with the new ma-jority report, it was explained:

"Since the preparation of the so-called minority report, the signingof the report by another member con-Yerta it Into a majority report andH is respectfully submitted as such.The final signer Is William H. Rob-erts, representing on the commissionthe State Association of Boards ofFreeholders.

"In signing the report, Mr. Robertsstates that the Association of Free-holders, on his recommendation, hasauthorized him to sign the reportfavoring the recommended scheduleof fees for motor trucks proposed byCommissioner Dill.

"The association further suggeststhat the distribution of motor ve-hicle receipts should be 50 per centto the counties, 10 per cent to themunicipalities, and 40 per cent to thaState Highway department, after thacost of operation of the Motor Ve-hicle department is deducted."

At the present time, counties re-ceive in the neighborhood of thirtyper cent of the fees through allot-ment from the state.

With the imposition of a gasolinatax, the report declared passengercar registrations should be reducedto ?3 a car, but that the heaviermotor trucks should pay much greaterfees. Trucks of 1,000 gross weightshould pay a ?10 license fee, the sameas at present. The fee should riseaccording to a graduated scale untila maximum fee of }270 for a 30,000pound truck is reached. The presentmaximum is $99.

On the basis of 1924 registrations,the proposed fees would bring in arevenue of $12,795,850.54, while thamajority report estimated that undertheir plan about $9,000,000 would berealized on the basis of 1923 motorregistration figures.

The charge was made that thapresent system of reserving motorvehicle fees entirely for highwaymaintenance purposes, advocated bythe majority of the .committee, hasbeen urged by motor vehicle inter-ests as a means of keeping downtheir taxation.

Motor vehicle receipts will increasewith the years, the minority reportpoints out, while maintenance costswill drop as highway constructionbecomes more perfect.

New construction costs, on theother hand, will increase, the presentreport contends. The reservation o£motor vehicle fees for maintenance!only, said the report, is unfair to the/general taxpayer, as it shifts thewhole burden of constructing newstate highways onto his shoulders.

"The operators of motor vehiclesat present are not financing the con-struction of the rights of way whichthey use, but are only meeting themaintenance costs," declared thereport "This is an injustice tothe general property taxpayers."

The minority report scouted theassertion contained in the findings ofthe majority that 40 per cent of thetotal expenditure for highways is now-being paid by motorists, asserting thatbut 17.8 per cent of road constructionis being provided for by automobilesin New Jersey.

Both sides agree that motor vehi-cles in 1923 contributed somewherebetween §S,000,000 and $10,000,000 to-ward highway construction. The ma-jority contend, however, that only$20,000,000 was raised by general andspecial taxes for road work for thatyear, while the present report placesthe total at §56,000,000, includingmoney expended in bridge and tunnelwork.

A difference of opinion was alsoregistered upon the question as to>whether more money is needed forhighway construction work in New-Jersey. The previous report dismiss-ed the problem, according to the ml-narity, with ,a bare mention and anassumption that no greater state rev-enues for highway purposes araneeded.

It is pointed out that five years; agothere i?as spent for state purposes,exclusive of state aid, $10,200,00$, jimllast year there was spent a total of144,000,000. This increase is likelyto be continued, said the report, ne-cessitating further ^ revenue than ianow available. ."

In an appendix # ; the report, StateHighway Engineer W. G. Sloan de-clares: "The highway constructionprogram in this state is not keepingpace with the increased demands be-ing made upon it by the increase inmotor vehicle traffic.

"The early completion of the ve-hicle tunnel and the Camden bridgewill place demands upon our high-ways which it is most essential satis-factorily to meet, and in so meetingthem very large expenditures wouldbe required, particularly in thevicinity of Jersey City and Camden.

"The bridge and tunnel cannot sat-isfactorily function until proper pro-vision is made for handling the traf-fic created by them, and in my opin-ion funds are most urgently neededto carry out the proposed construc-tion in connection with these struc-tures in the shortest possible time, aswell as for the construction of addi-tional state highways which the In-*crease in traffic would demand."

Abraham Lincoln (GeorgeBillings) -and hi$ Family"Lincoln" Made By

Typical Movie MiracleIt was out of Preston, Minn., that

the man who is nearest like AbrahamLincoln in appearance and who wasdestined to impersonate the immortalEmancipator in the most unusualscreen production since the inventionof the motion camera, "AbrahamLincoln," which opens at the DitmasTheatre, Perth Amboy, Monday.

George A. Billings, the sensationalLincoln of the Rockett Lincoln FilmCompany's picturization of the lifeand times of Abraham Lincoln, is sostartlingly like the martyred Presidentin appearance and temperament that

he was a constant source of wonder-ment to his fellow workers. Theexact height and weight of HonestAbe, Mr. Billings has also the almostflawless Lincoln face, the same gait,mannerisms and facial expression,voice and disposition.

No effort was aver made^ to pic-tureize the entire life and events ofAbraham Lincoln until Al and BayRockett began in April, 1923, afterresearch work covering eighteenmonths. This picture, the story forwhich was written by Miss FrancesMarion, covers the time from thebirth of Lincoln, February 12, 1809,to the events immediately followingthe assassination.

Buccaneer and Pirate DefinedTwo words •which are used exten-

sively in Rafatel *Sabatini's popularnovel, "Captain Blo6d," which will beshown at the Empire Theatre, Hall-way, next week, are frequently usedas synonyms, although there is quitea shade difference in meaning. Thewords are pirate and buccaneer.

The story deals with the adventures•of, Peter Blood as a pirate after heihad been condemned by the cruelKing Jam.es as a slave to1 the Barba-does. A pirate has been regarded byall nations to be an enemy of thetuman race. Piracy is a crimeagainst nations which may be broughtBefore any court, no matter what thenationality of the plaintiff or theorigin, of the'pirate may be.

A buccaneer is a freebooter, oneof the pirate rovers of the 17th and18th centuries that preyed upon theSpaniards along the Spanish coast ofAmerica. The first buccaneers wereFrenchmen whom the Spanish auth-orities had driven from their occupa-tion of hunting and bucaning or cur-ing meat.

Although Captain Blood's esca-pades might better be termed buc-caneering- he roved the sea almost acentury before.the buccaneers orig-inated ,and therefore "must, strictlyspeaking, be termed a pirate.

Corinne Griffith InTense Love Role

A new Corinne Griffith was intro-duced to movie-goers by First Na-tional last night when "Love's Wil-derness," her latest picture, wasscreened at the Ditmas Theatre,Perth Amboy.

The -.story, by Evelyn Campbell,introduces the star as a romanticyoung Southern girl whq.se disap-pointment in love leads her to elopewith a comparative stranger. Thehusband, played by Ian Keith, aban-dons her during a blizzard in theCanadian wilds and she battles forher life with the elements.".: ..' , ".":

Finally. regaining her Southernhome, she weds her first love(Holmes Herbert), in the belief thatshe is a widow. The climax is reach-ed when, on a honeymoon in theSouth Sea Isles, she is confronted byKeith and discovers her terrible mis-take. - ' %••

The ending of the story is, ofcourse, for you to see.

Both Herbert and Keith have donesome excellent acting here, as haveothers of the cast.. These includeMaurice Cannon, an importation fromthe comedy stage of Paris, France;Emily Fitzroy, David Torre-nee, and,others/

Youth-Maturity—Middle A g e -Old Age—

Norma Talmadge, who lives a wholelifetime in qne film for the first timein her varied experience, is all ofthese in "Se'crets," a vehicle that callsfor the most difficult characterizationof her career.

And if we are to believe the pre-view accounts, and that isn't so hardin view of past performances, theemotional Norma is just as charmingin the one age as the other.

The story starts in England, goesback by way of the heroine's diaryto the romantic days of the 1860's,moves to the frontier of WesternAmerica, and winds up where it be-gan in the London of modern times.

Thus it is that four different

Norma Talmadge's, in four differentperiods, appear in the First Nationalpicture coming to the WoodbridgeTheatre on February 12.

There is Norma, the London schoolgirl, in billowing crinolines, a caprici-ous young peeress, who elopes withher father's clerk on a high wheelbicycle in 1865 and sails for America.

There is Norma, the young wifeand mother, pioneering in a far-offWyoming cabin—a fighting Normawho takes pistol in hand and alignsherself with the men who battle tosave her husband and babe from anoutlaw band.

Next there is the Norma of mid-dle age, hack in London in the 1870's.This time the little mother, who losther first born in the bleak foothills!of the Eockies, is seen in the set-tings of luxury as the matron of agrowing family. She is still thelighting mother, but fighting this timeto save her inconstant husband fromdisgracing himself in an intrigue witha notorious beauty. Just as shefought for her infant in far-awayWyoming, so Norma battles againfor her home and Her children—andher husband's love.

And lastly, there is Norma, aged,wrinkled, white-haired, marked bythe battles of life but withal stillbeautiful, who sits at the bedside ofher husband, doing her best to helphim fight off death-—and succeeding.

The whole story is splendid glorifi-cation of the steadfast love and un-

shaken loyalty of a good wife, andof all the pictures in. which she hasappeared Norma says she likes "Se-crets" best.

"It's a story of the days of ourgranddaddies and grandmothers withsuch an appealing theme," says thestar. "At times, while working onthe set, I imagined I was really thelittle mother of the story and had agood cry then and there. And withan orchestra playing old time melo-dies- it isn't so difficult ta cry as onewould think." . . - ^ .

Eugene O'Brien, last seen withNorma Talmadge in "The VoiceFrom the Minaret," is again herleading man in "Secrets." Promi-nent in the cast also are GertrudeAstor, Patterson Dial, Emily Fitzroy,George Nichols, Alice Day, MayGiraci, Percy Williams. Frank Elliott,Clarissa Selwyn, George Cowl, Chas.Ogle, Harvey Clark, Florence Wicks,Winter Hall and Clyde Tracy.

Frank Borzage, director of "Hu-moresque," directed "Secrets," whichwas adapted to the screen by FrancesMarion from the successful SamHarris stage play in which MargaretLawrence, Rudolph Bessier and MayEdginton wrote the stage play.

The beautiful costumes worn in"Secrets," ranging from crinolinesand pantalettes to the last word of1924 in gowns and chapeaux, weredesigned by Clare West, while Ste-phen Goosson, art director, designedthe gorgeous mid-Victorian sets.

Real Interesting Riding-In Jack Hoxie's Release

Stowing1 At Crescent Screen

Jack Hoxie, star of western life pic-tures, long ago convinced the screenpublic that he can do a lot more thanride a horse—which same horse rid-ing he does exceedingly well.

In '^Flying Hoofs," Universal at-traction which opened in the Cres-cent Theatre, Perth Amboy, Thurs-day, Hoxie stars in a picture thatgives him fine opportunity for realacting and he takes full advantageof it. Of course there is a lot ofriding, for what Western would becomplete without the rush of pleas-ureable excitement "that goes withwatching racing horses set their fly-ing feet securely on dangerous path-ways, and in this respect the picturelives up to its title.

The main story has tov do with theefforts of a sheriff (Hoxie) to cap-ture a bandit known as The Eaven,and in that capture to vindicate him-self in the opinion of the1 public inthat particular section of the country.Suspicion, points to the sheriff'sbrother as the bandit, and the robberyof a bank owned by a man thebrother hates adds confirmation tothat suspicion. The sheriff arrestshis brother, who is sentenced t6 behanged, and then comes the big scenein the story—the self-sacrifice of thesheriff in an endeavor to prove truethe brother's story that he is not thebandit. It is a finely handled situa-tion and brings a surprise ending tothe story.

The efforts of a sly young womanto make the bashful sheriff fall inlove with her furnishes the comedyelement, and there is a love interestof more dramatic import between thedaughter of the banker and the sher-iff's brother. Of course the story isreplete with thrilling situations andhazarous adventure.

Is a modern girl. safer in the fullglare of the bright lights than behindthe drawn curtain of society homes?

Indirectly, that question is answer-ed in powerful, compelling fashion inthe new James Cruze production forParamount, "The City . That NeverSleeps."

It is a gripping narrative of motherlove—novel in theme, direct andforceful. Louise Dresser, KathlynWilliams, Ricardo Cortez and Vir-ginia Lee Corbin, are the featuredplayers, each selected for his or herperfect fidelity to type.

The storv begins on the Bowery in'1910. Miss Dresser, destined to be-come known throughout all New Yorkas "Mother O'Day," decides her sa-loon is no place to rear a child, soshe makes secret negotiations with alawyer to have the child adopted byan impoverished Fifth avenue societywoman. This is Miss Williams.

Years pass, and the saloon becomesa modern jazz cafe. The girl (Vir-ginia Lee Corbin) belives that MissWilliams is her aunt, and Miss Will-iams herself does not know whose thechild is. Every year she receives pay-ment through the lawyer.

Mother O'Day, who has gone alongbelieving her child was being rearedin "refinement," suddenly discoversthat she has become a modern jazz-mad, highball-drinking, cigarette-smoking flapper, and that she is en-gaged to a man Mother O'Day be-lieves to be an unscrupulous fortunehunter.

How can she save her child with-out disclosing her secret? That is themother's problem. She solves it in anentirely original and unsuspectedway, and Director Cruze builds thestory up through a smashing seriesof incidents to a tremendous climax.

"The City That Never Sleeps,"which will be the feature at theWoodbridge Theatre tomorrow, wasadapted to the screen by WalterWoods and Anthony Coldewey fromthe magazine serial, "Mother O'Day,"by Leroy-Seott. There's a high classsupporting cast.

'Story Without a Name"

"The Story Without a Name," anew Irvin Willat production for Para-mount, with Agnes Ayres and AntonioMoreno featured in the principalroles, is shown today at the Wood-bridge Theatre.

The story, by Arthur Stringer, firstappeared as a Radio-Prize-Title storyin Photoplay Magazine. Victor Irvinwrote the screen play.

It tells of a young inventor, work-ing for the U. S. government, whohas just perfected a "death-ray" ma-chine, an invention destined to rev-olutionize modern warfare. The in-strument has been successfully tested,and the scientist is making prepara-tions for his departure for Washing-ton to turn over the machine to theproper officials when something un-looked for happens.

What? That's the question thepicture itself will have to answer forthe fans. And it is said to provideas. pleasant an evening's entertain-ment as you've ever experienced.

Playing- in support of the leadingplayers is an unusually capable castof prominent players which includesTyrone Power. Dagmar Godowsky,Maurice Costello, Jack Bohn, LouisWolheim, Ivan Linow and others.

If you're looking for something inthe line of gripping adventure-ronrSnces that really entertains, byall means see "The Story Without aName."
