Morrie Streeter's original? nautfoaj
musical cbmedy play, "Stui AhdyV' ft
travesty with laughs in errery' ttirH
and move, is the new bill to be pre
sented by Streeter's Musical Comedy
Company at the Royal today and to
morrow. Seen in the leading role
will be the inimitable Morrie Streeter
and the other members of the com
pany, including Tommy "Wilson as
"Count Knockabout" and Carl Wan
ner as "Fritz Anhausor Schlitz."
"Ship Ahoy" is a nautical comedy
and the sceUesT" are all on board an
ocean liner. For this purpose Mr.
Streeter carries one of the most ela
borate special' sets of scenery ever
seen in Wilmington with a popular
priced attraction, one that enables
them to put over this play with a
realism that will fascinate and sur
prise everyone.
The costumes for this bill are uni
que to say the least, and will be all
different and some of the most elabo
rate of the season among "them.
Among the big musical numbers
will bo "I Love a Piano", "Sally irf
Our Alley," "My Dear Bassoon," "It's
Midnight" and many others. The big
specialty teams will all have new and
novel acts on.
The pictures for today and tomor
row are two great Paramount come
dies, "Troublesome Trip" a Black
Diamond comedy, and a Paramount
Bray -Cartoon, "Farmer Alfalfa's Revenge."
HOUSE PETERS AT THE GRAND
TOMORROW.
House Peters and Myrtle Stedman
will be seen at the Grand tomorrow
in the Oliver Morosco Photoplay
Company's production of "The Hap
piness of Three Women" adapted for
the screen from Albert Payson Ter
hune's unusual story.
House Peters is one of the most
popular and distinguished masculine
stars in the phtodramatic world. He
will be remembered as the dashing
bandit, RamorezT in the Lasky pro
duction of "The Girl of the Golden
West" and also as leading man for
Blanche Sweet in a number of other
Lasky productions. '
"The Happiness of
Happiness of Three Women"
marks his return to the Paramount
Program, and the fact that he is co
starred with the charming and artist
ic Myrtle Stedman, lends additional
interest.
Miss Stedman will be remembered
for her great success in the Morosco
production of "An American Beauty"
and later as co-star with Sessure
Hayakawa in "The Soul of Kura
San." The production, made for the
Morosco Company by William . D.
Taylor, is lavish as to settings and
detail, and has been most artistically
photographed.
In the cast supporting the stars
are L. W. Steers, Daisy Robinson,
William Hutchason. and Milton
Brown. v i

"THE HEART OF

SENATOR SHERMAN'S
OPINION OF FARMERS.
.(By United Press,)
. Washington, Feb. 21. Senator Sher
man, of Illinois, born and raised on a
farm, does not think; much of the gov
ernmental experts. He said so dur
ing ; discussion of the agriculture ap-j
propriation bill.
"These alleged scientific farmers
know, more about ward poltics than
they do about farming," said Sherman.
"If they attempted to put into practice
their scientific farming stunts they
would' starve to death in 12 months.
I'll- bet ninety per cent of them don't
know hard, cider from creek water.
They would know a Jersey cow only
if. she introduced, herself."
in the appearance in motion pictures
at . the Victoria next Friday of that
noted dramatic actor, Robert Edeson,
who appeared here in "His Brother's
Keeper," and who has acted the lead
ing role in a marvelous -film version
of Rudyard Kipling's great novel,
"That Light That Failed'" which will
be presented at "Victoria Next Friday
at the, ridiculously low admission
price of ten cents in order that the
masses may see- this wonderful
screen version of one of the master
pieces1 of literature. '
Some of the many remarkable
scenes of the picture show a long
line of camels outlined against the de
sert sky. Hundreds of "extras,"
British soldiers, tribesmen, etc., were
used. These scenes and those of
Dick's luxurious stijidio lend atmos
phere to the. powerful story.
It will hold- your attention from the
beginning to the end, when, cursed
with his blindness and with a deep
ache in his heart, Dick Helder again
hears the call of the East. Torpen-

Englishman" as he is. called among
the natives, for hundreds of miles
across the desert and reaches him as
a horde of Dervishes is about to at
tack him. In the skirmish Dick is
mortally wounded. Clenched in his
hand. Torpenhow finds the verse of
his childhood dream of happiness
Avith Mazie:
"And we shall be so happy
They wouldn't smile in Heaven
Till !' the other's lips had come:"
You mustn't miss "The Light That
Failed."
SOX BELIEVE THEY
HEADED FOR PENNANT.
,(By United Tress.)
Chicago, Feb. 21. The Chicago
White Sox, thirty-five, strong, led by
Manager Clarence (Pants) Rowland,
and accompanied by a bunch of no
tables, will leave two weeks from Fri
day for their spring training camp
at Mineral Wells, Texas. The squad
will be at this resort for two weeks,
from Friday for their spring train
ing camp 'at Mineral, Texas. Tho
squad will be at this resort for two
weeks, where, they will -J)e given a
Jiar drill under Rowlandfand his as
sistant, "Kid" Gfeason.
"The White Sox vill win the Am
erican league pennant,' barring acci
dents," said President Charles Comis
key today. "They would have cop
ped last season if they had not lost
several stars at crucial periods. Clar
ence Rowland is one of the greatest
leaders in baseball and with such a
batting array as Eddie Cole, Joe
Jackson, Happy Felsch and Pay
Schalk, they can't stop us, that's all.
The race , w.as being very close.
"There will be few new faces in
the White ! Sox camp. Ten rookies
will go, but few of them hope to
stick." Pay Schalk, premier Ameri
can league catcher, will be Rowland's
"first string." He will have as assis
tants, "Jack" Lapp, Mayes Linn and
Gray, a youngster. The.latter comes
from Wichita.
At first base Rowland has his prob
lem. This was the stumbling block
last year. There are five candi
dates for the job Ness, Fournier. i
Hasbrooke, Henry and Jourdan. Nessi
filled the place during the latter part
of last season, and Rowland announ
ces that the man who gets the job
will have to beat him. Fournier, a
heavy batter, is weak as a fielder.
Jourdan, Henry and Hasbrooke are
youngsters. Jourdan comes from St.
Joseph, Missouri, where he hit over
.300 and stole, more than 30 bases.
Eddie Collins will be found at sec
ond base. Last year Eddie was field
captain, but there is a possibility that
Rowland will relieve him of this as he
believes Collins hitting was impaired
by . th worries .
"On the other side of the diamond.
Puck Weaver will play either short
or third base. He can deliver in
either. Candidates for the other job
are Terry. McMullin old timers
"Swede" Risberg and Bruce Hartford.
Pisberg comes from the Vernon club
of the Pacific Coast lea.gue and is
said to be a bear at the shortfield po
sition. If he makes good on his press
notices, . Rowland's troubles will be
at an end on that side of the diamond
and Puck Weaver will play third. Ter
ry and McMullin will do in a pinch,
but both are light hitters and below,
championship calibre. Hartford was
drafted from Des Moines and is said
to have the making of a bjg league
shortstop. He formerly was with
Cleveland.1,
Joe Jackson, one of the hardest hit
ters in the league, will be in: left
field. "Happy',' Felsch, ;also a slug
ger, will, be , in center. Powland will
give several athletes a chance for the
right field job. Last year Shano
mourns held down this position. He
is an In-and-outer.
Among other, candidates are Eddie
Murphy, formerly of the Philadelphia
Athletics ; v Nemo . Liebold, formerly
with Cleveland; Ross Eldred, secured
from the coast, -and . Prtmo Haas,
drafted from Wilkesbarre. "
: The pitching staff, which was some
what of a disappointment last sea
son, will not see. much change. Row
land will be equipped with such ri srht
hahders as Joe Benz, Jim Scott, Ed
die. Cicotte, Red Fabef, Elwood Mar
tin, and Mel Wolfgang. Faber and
Scott were out of., condition during
most of last season.; , Martin . is the
only newcomer. He comes from Oak
land; in the ;CoastLeague. For port

ONE HOUSE BY THE SIDE OF THE
' - ROAD. .
."Let me live in a house by the side of
I . the road
Where, the race of men go by,
Men who are good and men who are
1 bad
As good and as bad as I.
Far why should I sit in the corner's
I seat
Or hrl the seraph's hand?
Let me live in a house. by the side of
the road
I And be a friend to man."
Sam Walter Foss.
. This little verse hangs in state on
the landing of Ethel's stairway where
the first rays of the rriorning sun strike
' it through the colored glass window in
the morning and where the moon
brightens it through the night.
I It has become a little sermon to all
iher friends, too, and the fact that she
.practices what it preaches is most
noteworthy. Ethel truly lives in a
house by the side of the road and has
become invaluable to her neighbors by
being a friend to' them one and all.
Living all about her are people
.'whose entire outlook is upon the small
'suburban town in wihch thfey live.
iThey are not uncultured, but they
J have never obtained everything they
, .have aspired to because of living in an
' 1 out-of-the-way place. Then, too, they
jkept house in a different way from the
way some of them now do. Their
'rooms were always clean and their
i meals always on time, but they hadn't
;made their house-keeping a science
they hadn't put their homes on a busi
ness basis.
As Ethel gradually became acquaint
ed with the younger set they found
jthat she studied the food value of dif
ferent articles and purchased her sup-
plies accordingly. They found she had
a specified time .for each task and that,
iat the same time, she didn't neglect
j enjoyment. I can imagine the surprise
iof some when they learned, too, that
she and "Bud" placed aside a certain
1 amount every week for recreation. The
younger set -began adopting some of
her mehods. and bef&re long a wonder
i ful change was wrought in the com
munity.
All of us are perhaps able to help
our frionds and neighbors in'some way.
This may never be accomplished by
tolling them anything other than in
the ordinary course of conversation,
but it may bo shown them at all times,
j We all owe our fellowmen every bit
cf help we can give them. And as
the little verse says, this may only be
done by living among people, not by
sitting back and criticising their lives
and actions.
Shall we live in the house by the
side of the road in the future?
