Thdfnas • Darst, D. D., bishop.of the diocese, .reached an eloquent sermon from the hase of the Lord’s /rayer which -eads: "Thy Kingdom come. Thy will Ae done on earth.” Yesterday was practically the eighth mniversary of Bishop Darst’s conse cration to the See of East Carolina, the bishopric Having been bestowed upon him in St. James’ church on January 6, 1914. Before developing his subject, Bish op Darst ^poke of the great work ac complished in the docese during the last eight years, citing the number of voung men who have entered the min istry and consecrated their lives to the service pf Goth The bishop an nounced the gift of $150,000 from a woman, who contributed this Sum to wards church buildings and extension work, with the promise of &n annual contribution to that fund. Pilled with the great Ideal of their prayer, "Thy Kingdom come.” Bishop Darst said the early disciples went forth to proclaim the good news of the Kingdom, ‘ "and the martyrs, tortured aqd burning at the stake, cheerfully echoed, “Thy will be done on earth!” "Yet, after 1900 years, the King dom has not come,” lie said, for "in Europe the black outlook of war, cruelty, vie, ignorance in many lands; unelerfh things in many of our cities, the Kingdom has not come. “Why?” he asked. “Not because men prayed for it. Not because the world does not need it, but because across the path of duty we have erected the barrier of human selfishness. We shall never see the Kingdom of God on earth until, with self-sacrificing love, we go out and claim the dark places of the world for Him.” The Hev. Dr. William H. Milton, pas tor St. James’ assisted in the celebra tion of Holy Communion, which ser vice followed the bishon’s discourse Many people are congratulating Bishop Darst upon the occasion 61 the eighth anniversary of his elevation to the bishopric, and they have express the hope that the bishop may be spared for many years to live and work for the Upbuilding and. better ment of his church in this common wealth.

Who come to the Victoria Theatre, ror tonight* j seem assured of a successful engage ment here as a result of the first day’s box office sale, “As You Were" is the name of the new musical play and everybody who applied for seats Satur day, didn’t ask for the name of the play, but asfted for seats for the Blanche Ring engagement. Pl.ays may come and go, but Blanche Ring’s pop ularity never seems ,to wane. She and Mr. Wihninger, her co-star, touted this section of the country last year in “The Midnight Whirl,” and were immensely successful. They are credited with having even cleverer entertainers this year in “As You Were.” This musical super-naturally gifted child actor Whose success in “The ' Child Thou GaVest Me,” and other productions are so familiar, will further endear him self to all who see ‘Rich Men’s Wives,” by the unusually fine work he contrib utes to the picture. In selecting the cast of “Rich Men’s Wives,” Mr. Schulberg did not engage Miss Pindsor, as the sole beauty of/ the production and let It go at that, hut surrounded her and Mr. Peters with such undisputed beauties of the film world as Rosemary Theby, Myrtle Sted man, Mildred June and others, making this production pretty much of a real beauty show. In addition to the splendid players, the cast includes such experienced and capable screen favorites as Gaston Blnnrhe Ring:, in a Xeir Musical Corned y, “A* You Were,” nt Victoria Tonight play is In two acts and seven scenes and Miss Ring and Mr. Winninger car ry a company of thirty people. They have a particularl^good looking chorus who sing and dance well. Surrounding the two stars are many clever players, including Edgar Atkinson Ely. a musi cal comedy comedian and Elby and St Leo. a dancing team, and a quartet oi male singers, who do a specialty ol their own in the play. Tickets ar& sell ing at the Wilmington Talking Ma chine company. “EAST SIDE—WEST SIDE-’ J’Eaat Side—West Side,’,’ a new Amer ican Comedy which juet closed a long run at the Nora Bayes theatre, in New York, W'ill be the next offering of the Pickert Stock company at the Academy of Music, beginning next Monday night, for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday; hiatinee Wednesday. It is confidently expected that “East Side—West Side” will be one of the most successful and pleasing bills of the lcwal stock season. The play has been ileralded far and wide as espec ially suitable for stock interpretation and the local management is very san guine that the players will be very happy in the roles assigned to them. The plot has to do with a unique love affair between a wealthy young literary New Yorker and a poor typist of the East Side. Their business hela tions proceed very smoothly for a While, but eventually culminate In a love affair of many twists and compli cations. all of which make this comedy extremely fascinating from beginning to end. In many respects "East Sl le— West Blue IS imcucu UULU vnai. J great success in stock, “Peg O' My Heart,” which has been accepted as the most successful stock play In the last decade. There has already been a very large seat sale for “Bast Side—West Side,” and It is confidently expected that the business will exceed that of any week of the current season. “RICH MEW'S WIVES.” "Rich Men's Wives,” a Preferred picture which was directed by the cele brated Basnier, and which will be seen for the first time in, this city today at the Grand, is prodigal in the matter of playing* talent—in fact, the cast may be said to be an all-star one in the beat meaning of this frequently mis used term. Houpe Peters heads the list of noted actors, and this splendid portrayer of virile roles is ably seconded^by the ethereally beautiful Claire Windsor, who has the part of the wife of the rich man of the sftory, Peters, of course, being the man of wealth. It is a fine role and onejn which Miss Windsor has many chances to prove that she is an emotional actress of uncommon skill. Little Richard Headrick, the almost I Opening 'iouay at the Koyai Glass,^ Charles Clary, William Austin, Martha Mattax, Carol Holloway and others. ' * Gasnier directed “Rich Men’s Wives” with his oft-proved fine regard for drama and it is sure to take rank with his "Kismet” and similarly notable productions he has created. “THE AMAZING LOVERS.* Melodrama, the secret service, coun terfeiters, love affairs in New York’s free and easy Bohemian quarter, Green wich Village, mystery—these are the factors entering into Charles A. Hogue’s story, “The- Amazing- Hovers,” a pic turization of which will be presented at the Royal Theatre commencing to day. They are factors of keen interest to the motion picture patron for they hold promise of racy excitement, thrilling situations, emotional conflict and ro mantic 'sequences. Dogue is a past master of stirring fiction and • has woven these elements Into a plot of surprising originality. And in the production of this stoVy, B. A. Rolfe, in collaboration with the author, selected a cast which would bring to life its characters intelligently. For some of the roles are extremely difficult. Marc McDermott, Diana Allen, Eugene Strong Sally Crute, E. J. Ratcliffe, Tatjanna Irrah and John L. Shine were given the principal parts. The result is a pic ture of outstanding excellence in all of Its elements. The character delin eations are true to life, the story one that holds the spectator keyed in the grip of its suspense, and the unfolding I is clear ana logical ameu mere are complications, plots and counterplots and a succession of climaxes in each of which some new twist comes as a sur prise to perplex the spectator who thinks he can foresee the ending. “LORNA DOOSB" COMING. It required four cameras, instead of the customary two, to film “Lorna Doone,” Maurice Tourneur's picture of the favorite^ seventeenth century novel. Some of the action scenes were so dif ficult and costly to stage that th* pro ducer was unwilling to risk any chances that re-takes would be neces sary and kept four camera-men busy. As a result he has obtained some of the most novel effects ever shown on the Screen. , “To a delightful daughter of the Magic Wood” so ReX Hunter, author of "Stuff O’ Dreams and Other plays,” has Inscribed a copy of his volume Which he sent to Madge Bellamy star of Lorna Doone, Which opens Thursday at the Grand Theatre, Mr. Hunter saw Miss Bellamy when she was playing In ‘Dear Brutus’ with Wm. Gillette and this was his appreciation of her work in that play. BALTIMORE FINANCIER DIES BALTIMORE, Jan. 7.—John R.

Arctic Explorer to Turn His Energies to , Developing the North NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—(By the Asso ciated Press.)—Vilhjalriluf Stefansson, Arctic explorer, today announced the abandonment of his career as ah ex plorer, to devote his efforts to*prOV* ing to a Skeptical world that Within a decade or two, the North polar ocean will be crossed by a net work of com mercial aviation routes and that the AfctiO regions hitherto known aB mys terious, uninhabitable lands, will be the source of developed resources un limited in magnitude. ' “i am through with exploring," he declared to the Associated Press, “i will devote myself seriously to the ab olition of the polar regions. The mys tery surrounding the north Is a pall of ignorance. The polar regions are a state of mind.” Mr. Stefahsson eaid his decision to give up the polar explorations Which have made him internationally famous was prompted by his contention that the age of exploration of (the north now is to yield to the age ot commer cial development. He felt, he said, that he had given Up exploring While he was still young enough to develoi his new career as a "propagandist” ot enlightener of the north. Exploring Is a young man’s game, he added, “My expeditions to the Arctic," he declared, “were like those of Lewis and Clarke in the early days of the United States." X saw as they did that I was crossing country w|th unlimited resources, country which could easily be exploited and countries where men and women could live as comfortably and as, energetically as they live in many parts of the north temperate re gions of the world."
