eastern side of the town, and Rev. S. L.
Sulivan, pastor of the Baptist church,
as general for the western side. Mc
Kay McKinnon was chairman of the
central committee which planned the
drive. The institution is a Methodist
college, but the people of all the
churches joined enthusiastically in the
movement and on Thursday and Fri
day business was almost suspended in
the town while a complete canvass of
the people was made and almost every
man, woman and ' child - «scribed
something .towards this fund. Sup
pers were had again on • bursd'y and
"Friday nights to report the results o'f
the campaign and when a final count I
was made it Wits found that more than
$26,000 had been subscribed in and
around Maxton.
On 'Friday night- the 26-piece band
from Fort Bragg was over to celebrate
the success of the drive and help in
crease the enthusiasm of ,the people.
Since this drive severah carloads of the
leading business men in the town have
been out to the other towns In the
county talking to the people of the
Methodist church throughout the coun
ty. letting them know, what has been
done in Maxton and trying to Instill
Into them the same vision and enthusi
asm which has been shown in Maxton.
They have met with a hearty recep
tion and the people of the county pos
sibly know more about Carolina col*
lege than they ever did before. It is
the hope that $50,000 wil be raised in
the county for this dormitory and that
the cornerstone for the new dormitory i
will be laid at commencement this
spring.
County Superintendent _ Poole has
made arrangements for a summer
school for the teachers of this county
and the . surrounding counties to be
held in the building of Carolina col
lege this year, beginning ■ about the
first'of June, and it is understood that
one Hundred or more teachers will at
tend this school.
THEATRICAL
“TO HAVE AND TO HOLD”
‘‘The worst job I ever had.” says
Betty Compson, Paramount star, who is
featured in "To Have and To Hold,"
which closes Its run today at the Grand,
“was that of a violinist in the orches
tra of the Mission theatre in Salt Lake
City. I was just a youngster. I had
been going to high school when my
father -died and it became necessary
for me to. g#, to work. I had to give up
all.my parties—and to go to work from
right after school until late at night.
At first I hated it. But gradually I
came to realize that the discipline was
splendid for me. In fact, if I hadn't
joined that orchestra I might never
have been a motion picture star, for the
association with theatricals there en
gendered, and a subsequent vaudeville
tour with a musical act, gave me a |
poise and experience that helped a lot
in preparing me for my work before j
the camera.”
“WHEN KNIGHTHOOD
WAS IN FLOWER”
The gorgeous wedding of Princess
Mary Tudor and King Louis XII of
France is one of the picturesque scenes J
in the picturized version of "When
Knighthood Was in Flower,” which had
to be omitted from the stage produc
tion in 1901. The Cosmopolitan pro
duction of “When Knighthood Was in
Flower,” /with Marlon Davies in the
role of Princess. Mary Tudor, which
comes to the Victoria theatre tomor
row, shows it in its entirety. Robert
O. Vignola, directed the picture and
Joseph Urban designed the elaborate
sttings which are said to set a high
water mark in fllmdom.
Seats' go on sale this morning at the
Wilmington Talking Machine Company. J
“THE PRISONER”
The east of "The Prisoner,” the Uni
versal screen dramatization of George
Barr McCutcheon’s "Castle Craney
crow,” which will be shown at the
Royal theatre beginning today, with
Herbert Rawlinson in the starring role,
is an unusual one Inasmuch as it con
tains only player! who have won their
way to the top rank by years of hard
work. There are no players in it who
rose to fame "in a night.”
Rawlttison himself is a star not only
because of his popularity but because
in several years’ consistent success he
earned the rank.
Eileen Peroy, the leading woman cast
opposite him in "The Prisoner” has
been a star in her own right for a long
period, and so has June Elvidge. who
plays the secondary feminine role. Ber
tram Grassby, to be seen in the “heavy
role" of the story, graduafod Into pic
tures from the success of several years'
consistent" work on the stage. Since
theij^he has played the most polished
‘‘villains'’ and is noted as an artist of
BhuSual promise In this particular type
of. role.
Esther Ralston, Llncbln Stedman,
Lillian Langdon, George Cowle, Hay
ford Hobbs,, Bert Sprotte and Boris
Karloff are all popular 'players of
recognized standing. Mario Carlllo Is
the one membei* of the cast who has
juet recently come Into pictures. He
waji a high officer In the Italian army
during the late world war and gained
fame as a dauntless fighter.
Jack Conway dtrected. He is re
sponsible for many Universal successes
of the past. E. T. Lowe, Jr„ prepared
the continuity.

“Conversation Circulation”
In the days when “Conversation Circulation”
statements were the basis on which -the ad
vertiser bought space, the advertising so
licitor who put up his story in the most
" pleasing manner generally got the business.
In case the advertiser questions the figures
he might possibly go to the newspaper of
fice and look over the circulation records with
his own auditors. But neither he nor his
• 1 * -
auditors knew the intricacies of newspaper
circulation records or the possibilities for
judging'figures.
*
* Circulation differences and arguments caused
bitter battles between many newspapers. In
genious schemes were used by unscrupulous
publishers to put up the appearance of a
larger circulation than they had. The preva
i lence of these practices brought out the
necessity for a reputable agency to audit and
report on circulation matters.
The Audit Bureau of Circulations was
started e'ight years ago by a nucleus of the/
Reading advertisers, agents, newspaper pub
lishers. To day it has a membership of
1,800. The purpose of the bureau is to make _
fair and impartial audits of circulation rec
ords and it is now accepted as the Standard
-Authority among space‘buyers throughout
the United States and Canada.
Every publisher-member of the bureau is
required to make semi-annual statements
setting forth the actual net paid circulation.
Once a year the bureau sends an auditor to
the office of each publisher to check and if
necessary correct his circulation statements.
Study the A. B. C. reports of the publications
you are considering and it will not be neces
sary to argue about competitive circulation.
The Wilmington Morning Star is a member of the A. B. C. and would be
pleased to "submit a copy of the latest circulation report
N • * • . » .
The Wilmington News has applied for membership in the Audit Bureau of Circulations, first audit
to be made at the end of the paper’s first si* month’s existence. In the meantime, circulation rec
ords are open for inspection. / ~ -
