EPISCOPAL CHURCH 1 - GAINS JNJUEMBERS' Net Increase of 39,772 Reported; in Issue of the Living ! Church Annual A net increase of 39,772 in the com municant membership of the Episcopal Lurch is reported by the Living church Annual for 1923, just issued, with an increase in contributions of $875,404.47. Noteworthy as these gains are, The Living Church Annual points to the' fact that this net increase in con11 lbutions of '*875,404.47 is supple mental to the ten and a half miiiiot dollar increase reported last yt:n. Other gains reported are 34,132 in Sun day school membership, with 5.022 lf-w teachers, 6,026 confirmations and 1.474 baptisms. being not vs: "Tile The shortage, ip the supply of clergy remains a souree of embarrassment, only 12 new nriesis havi l ; been added to tue roster during- the year; though ar. increase of 33 candidates for orders and 4S postulants indicates progress toward improvement.' A possible r" 'flex of existin-.- economic conditions is indicated in ti decrease of 5,0.A mar riages in the church during the 5’,al Commenting on these totais whi it are for the calendar year of 1921, sta tistics for the current y< yet available. tile Annua net gain of 39.772 communicants is prooal 1y a record gain, at least we Pave consulted the- tiles of the Annual for the past 25 years and find no ap "prciaeii to that gain in any other year, and it is not likely that there was in any earlier year. The increase is quite genera! throughout the country. The contributions have kept UP the remark able advance of nearly ten and a half million dollars reported a year ago and have added an increase of SS75.404.47 to the previous totl. Thus the gains in income were not sporadic but give promise of permanence.” Credit for the increase in both mem bership and income is given by the An nual to the nation-wide campaign, which was organized in'1919 to awak en the membership of the church to its duties and responsibilities and \s a per manent movement conducted wholly within the ranks of the communion. Especial significance is attached by the Annual to the movement which is go ing forward to make the church organ ization a live, active force throughout the country. Thus in a score of dio ceses which are named, communicant lists have been subjected to close scru tiny and in pans liafter parish hun dreds of names have been dropped from the membership roll, ana the increased membership of 39.772 represents a net increase after all these deductions have been taken into account.

And so it goes on throughout the en-i tire production—one who loves music1 can find the prototype of each orches-j tral instrument in various parts of the silent action upon the screen. 1 “Lorna Doone" opened yesterday to the most loudly enthusiastic audiences1 who have seen a picture in Wilmington] this season. i ALICE BRADY IN “THE KNIFE” As Kate Tarleton in “The Knife,’* adapted from Eugene Walter’s dra matic success of the same name by Charles Maigne and directed by Robert G.

Stahl, who made “One Clear Call * and “The Child Thou Gavest Me.” two of the most popular motion pictures in recent history. It is “The Dangerous Age,” and is declared to be the finest, photoplay created by Mr. Stahl to date : Just what the “dangerous age” is Manager Bailey refuses to reveal in advance, but that it will form the, theme of an engrossing picture is a| foregone conclusion. Mr. Stahl has J the knack of transforming a scenario] into a living and breathing thing, and although he can inject dramatic quail-* ties of a tense nature, they are always accompanied by realism and plausibil ity. His characters are real people, and the members of his casts do not walk through their parts like automatons. Frences Irene Reels wrote the story of “The Dangerous Age.” and the cast consists of Lewis S. Stone, Ruth Clif- , ford, Helen Lynch, Edith Roberts, Myrtle Stedman. Richard Tucker, Lin-! coin Stedman. Edward Burns, James j Morrison and “Dellorice.” “DIANA OF THE FOLIES* Everything is in readiness for pre- i | sentation tonight of the brilliant and j snappy musical comedy "Diana of the j Follies” at the Victoria theater.
