BOARD OF NEGROES
Board of Education Consider
ing of Such a Body For
Colored School
Appointment ot a committee of ne
f iips to serve in an advisory capacity
t the board of education in matters
, King to the, negro public schools of
. , county has received the approval
, t’u, Williston Industrial school com
r toe, and it was discussed at a meet
j _ of the board of education yester
i ;if. tvilliston Industrial school com
. •icemen, to whom the board of ed
ctinn referred the suggestion for an
0 ixisory committee of negroes, gave
E c-oval to the proposal in a recent
l,- .r addressed to the board. The
c c-iitteemen wrote that they favored
! appointment of a committee of
c or more negroes, and they ex
r . . c.l the opinion that these negro
■nitteemen should be appointed by
regular school committeemen, with
Kip cmsent and approval of the board
,/ education.
[i wever, the board of education
, , the position that the negro ad
; k ,ry committee should be named by
• , board, and the following members
, iin education board were chosen to
result with the other committees and
,,rrce upon the appointment of the ne
advisory committee: Herbert Me
T immy, J. Lawrence Sprunt and Maj,
v.. A. Graham.
The negro advisory committee would
s. rve in an advisory capacity for all
1 negro public schools, but this body
would have no authority other than to
submit information and recommenda
t nns concerning the conduce of the
negro schools to the bov-i of edoca
: mi and the school committeemen.
It is pointed out that some good may
■ suit in the appointment of such a
ommittee, and it is planned to secure
ieading negroes of the city to serve on
same.
No definite action, other than that
outlined above, has yet been taken by
the board of education, although it is
highly probable that the matter will
be up for discussion at the next meet
ing of the board.

Members of the Wilmington police
department harkened back 39 years
ago yesterday, when Charles Kunolds,
a former policeman, presented a photo
graph of the “police of 1886 to Lieut.
Joseph Lane, and t/he picture, which
has been hung on the wall in the po
lice station, caused the members of the
day force to be in a rather reminiscent
mood.
The picture was taken in front of the
city hall, and shows the police depart
ment personnel, during the first admin
istration of Mayor John J. Fowler.
Ned Hall was chief of police, and
Robert Capps captain. Of the 32 mem
bers, including Chief Hall and Cap
tain Capps, 23 have since died, and of
the nine living, Sergeant Woody How
ell is the only active member of the
department.
The picture shows the following
personnel:
Ned Hall, chief, deceased; Robert
Capps, captain, deceased; Daniel Ben
der, sergeant, deceased; Deams Pugh,
sergeant, now residing in Savannah;
Dal Orrell, sergeant, deceased; Fred
Skipper, sergeant, deceased; W. R.

“THE FIRST VEAR”—VICTORIA
The management of the Victoria the

have been completed with John Golden
for the appearance at the Victoria on
next Friday and Saturday, with a mat
inee on Saturday, of the record-break
ing New York success, “The First
Year." No announcement could carry
with it greater pleasure for theatre
goers than this, not only because “The

Lloyd’s most pretentious comedy in a
line-up of laugh-producing photoplays
that have not had one mark against
them. Lloyd’s newest comedy is al
ways a step forward, and "Grandma's
Isoy” is a mighty bis: stride ahead.
It is in five reels and it laughs,
thrills and suspense are built around a
theme as serious as the psychology of
fear. Lloyd is seen as the bashful
small town boy, ^fraid of his own
shadow. When his little old-fashioned

meaning of self-confidence, he njakes

secutive performances. "The First
Year" is in three acts, with its scenes
laid in the small towns of Reading-,
111., and Joplin, Mo., and its story has
to do with the little griefs and joys,
the small triumphs and exasperations
that are enacted every day on a mil
lion American hearths. It is said that
audiences will not be able to recall
ever having laughed so much in a
theatre, or with such genuine enjoy
ment. The cast includes Gregory Kel
ly, Ruth Gordon, John W. Ransome,
Fanny Rice, Ray L. Royce, Tom Cody,
Edith Wright, Joseph Garry and Isa
bell DeArmond. Tickets will go on
sale Thursday at the Wilmington Talk
ing Machine company.
“THE DANGEROt S AGE”
Excellent drama is "The Dangerous
Age,’ the John M. Stahl-First National
attraction which began a three-day en
gagement at the Grand theatre yester
day. It is a masterpiece of realistic
portrayal of American family life and
decidedly one of the “bigger and bet
ter” pictures toward which all produc
ers are striving.
The audience which attended the
opening performance gave vent to its
approval by applauding vigorously
when the last scene had faded away.
It was one of the best pictures that
this town had seen in a long time.
The picture contains so many fea
tures worthy of favorable comment
that it is difficult to point out the best.
Story, cast, direction, photography, set
tings—all are superb. Blended into
"The Dangerous Age” they form an ir
resistible appeal.
We have often read of "all star”
but we’ve never seen one which came
nearer earning that appellation than
the one which enacts this picture. It
consists of such remarkable actors and
actresses as Lewis S. Stone, Cleo Madi
son, James Morrison, Helen Lynch. Ed
ward Burns, Edith Roberts, Myrtle
Stedman. Ruth Clifford. Richard Tuck
er, Lincoln. Stedman and Dellorice.
Much credit is also due to Frances
Irene Reels, the author, who has sup
plied a stors7- eminently fitted for pic
turization and containing many epi
sodes of gripping power.
“GRANDMA’S BOY"
Harold Lloyd says that it took four
months to dope out the ending of
"Grandma’s Boy”—that final laugh that
made its first audience, when ’it was
previewed in Long Beach, Calif., laugh
so hard that it held up the next act for
ten minutes. The hardest part of a
comedy, contends Llovd and his pro
ducer. Hal Roach, is the “gag” for the
final fade-out.

The remarkable reconstructive pow

“Before T took Tanlac I was so run

anything. The gas on my stomach
made my heart beat at a terrible rate

the Royal theatre, where an apprecia
tive audience gave every sign of com
plete satisfaction with both the star
and her picture. j
The story is a most amusing one, j
with a touch of adventure and well
flavored with thrills. It concerns one
Katherine Trowbridge, a wilful little
minx who only needed to be told to do
a thing to be consumed with a deter
mination to do it. Authority in any
guise she could not tolerate. So when
her uncle and aunt, with whom she
lives, conceive a plot to marrv her off •
to :i certain young man and Katherine
discovers the scheme, she immediately
decides that anybody in the world is
preferable to that particular young
man. “I’ll go out and marry the first
man I meet,” she says. And she does. .
Whereupon complications pile up thick
and fast and the result is a swift
moving picture which cannot fail to
please the most fastidious picture fan.
“They Like ’Em Rough” is a Harry
