fi-'i W PAGE TWO I VIOLET PALMER V "The very best ehow of the season that was what many called the opening bill by Morton's Kentucky Belle" at the Royal yesterday. It certainly is a show that lines right up alongside Guy Johnson s snow, which was the most popular tabloid Hp musical comedy company which ever appeared in Wilmington. It's a show that -possesses class and distinction all the way througn, ana iui ui ond bill, which goes on tomorrow, it is said the very biggest specialty numbers have been reserved. The special features of this show are advertised as the famous comedy king Johnny Keenan, and the capti vating ingenue, May Rossie. The for mer is just about the most comical eccentric comedy artist of the season in Wilmington, and the latter is to say the least a captivating and be witching personality in the leading roles But even leaving out these two headliners, there was an act that was not advertised big that simply brought down the house. That was rocnn Trio m narmony smgi v 'Utjiiiv WW t. s : the har- m fit': ''eA I1 ir with a hunch ot an new lllfyf " " . . . mony skits that went over with a bang and a tumult of applause that is seldom heard. Elmer and Tom, "The Dancing Fools," proved any thing else but numb-skulls at the art of fancy dancing and put one of the most spectacular rapid-fire dancing hits over that has ever been seen on the Royal stage. Then there was Morton and Rossie in songs and Chat ter, with comedy, and Nancy and Maybelle in topical songs and dances, all of which helped to put it over big. The same big show goes on again to day and tonight. GRAND'S GREAT BILL TOMORROW "The Blue Streak," coming to the Grand tomorrow, will be, an unusual treat for the thousands of lovers of Fox Films. It is an entirely new theme pro duced with typical Fox excellence. It is the first film to be made for William Fox by the already renowned director, William Nigh, he of "Noto rious Gallagher" and "The Yellow Streak" fame. It presents to Fox audiences for the first time two new stars. One is William Nigh, already fa mous as a star and director. The other is little Violet Palmer, whose charming face has never be fore graced any screen. She is a new find, 17 years old, and begins her film career as a star. Her director and all who have seen her work ac claim this pretty girl a coming pho toplay celebrity. "The Blue Streak," which was writ ten by Mr. Nigh, is a virile drama of the rugged West, of men who seldom refer to-their way of getting a living; of men who draw and draw quick; of men -who shoot first and explain after. "Bill" Nigh plays the part of just such a man. No one can surpass him. Contrasted to this rough and ready 0 t . 'v' i'-.t TOMORROW.

Ail Machine Crashes Through Bridge One Drowned Another Serious Mishap (Special to The Dispatch. New Bern, May 8. Mr. Matthew Williams, a well known citizen of Croa- tari, lost his life and E. M. Ballanger and Claude A. White, also of that place, came near drowning when an automobile in which they were riding and which was being driven by Mr. Rallansrer. crashed through the Trent river bridge at 4 :30opck yesterday morning. The three men came to New Bern on the previous night at about 9 o'clock and remained in the city until a short time before the acci dent when they started back home. According to a statement made to Cor oner E. W. Dunn, Ballanger stated that he did not know whether he lost con trol of the car or whether the steering gear hung, but that he remembered the machine crashing into the railing, when he jumped. When the car struck the water it did not turn over, and to this fact is attributed the escape of Messrs. Ballanger and White. Wil liams, so they said, could not swim train robber is an unschooled, inex perienced girl, Violet Palmer. Kidnaped by the train robber and his band she turns these unscrupu lous men into gentle lambs whose only concern is to serve her. How this change is brought about is the charm of the film, wrought by the master touch of William Nigh, the artist A complication beautiful in its subtlety, a love theme exquisite ly dainty, and an ending unique and pleasing that's "The Blue Streak, the film of an. era.

Spearman, author ot the novel upon which "The Railroad Raiders," sensational fifteen chapter Signal-Mutual photo-novel, is based, is one of the best known adventure wri ters in America, and the only one possessing an intimate technical knowledge of railroad operation and management. The story of "The Rail road Raiders" will be released in . fif teen parts for publication throughout the United States simultaneously with the photo-novel chapter releases. Mr. Spearman is the author of many famous novels, including "Held for Orders," "The Strategy of Great Railroads," "Whispering Smith," "The Daughter of a Magnate," and "Nan of Music Mountain." The author has written many of his most important works on railway trains, insisting that he can compose better within sound of rumbling car wheels than elsewhere. 'The Raiders"1 starts at the Bijou next Friday. BANKERS LOSE SUIT WITH GERMAN STEAMER - (Bv Aasoclated Press.1) Washineton. May 8 New banks yesterday lost litigation in the Supreme court against the North Ger man Lloyd liner Kronprinzessin C& cila, at Boston, in which they claimed $2,240,000 damages for failure of the vessel to deliver gold bullion worth and this was found a short whjle later, probably seventy-five yards from the point at which the car went into the water. Messrs. James Bryan, Harry Faulk ner and Harry Roberts were badly in jured when a Ford car in which they were riding and which was being driven by Mr. Faulkner, crashed into the side of a building near the corner of South Front and Spring streets yes terday afternoon and overturned, pin ning Messrs. Faulkner and Roberts beneath the machine and throwing Mr. Bryan against a post on a nearby porch with such force that he was completely dazed and badly cut and bruised. The machine was literally demolished, being torn into a hundred pieces and those who viewed the wreck after the injured men had been removed to the hospital declared that they could not see how the occupants of the car escaped with their lives. Mr. J. K. Willis, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Gertie Matthews, left yesterday for Burlington where they will attend the annual meeting of the North Carolina Funeral Directors and Enbalmers' Association Tomorrow afternoon the baseball team of the New Bern high school will cross bats with the team from the Washington Collegiate Institute, the game being played at Ghent park, this city. In the last game with the Wash ington team the local boys came out of the little end of the horn, but they intend evening up the score this time and the game will doubtless prove to be one of more than usual interest. Yesterday afternoon the locals de feated the Vanceboro Farm Life school team by a score of 11 to 6. Under the direction of the City York ' Union of Bible Classes a church cen sus of New Bern was taKen yesieruay afternoon and the names and ages of practically every resident of the city, together with the information as to whether they were members of any church and if so which one, was taken.

"Is there any such. thing as an 'ideal investment'?" asks a correspondent, whose letter of inquiry indicates, as do others received by this department, that he has been urged to put his money into the securities of one or another enterprise on the ground that his investment would then be a "sure thing." Nothing an this life is without the element of risk. There is no business undertaking on earth which is immune from the great law of cause and ef fect. But, relative speaking there is such a thing as an "ideal investment.". It is that investment, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that form of investment, which through years of experience and test has come co be regarded as the safest. The in experienced investor, should al ways bear in mind however, that there is a vast difference between the "ideal investment" and the "sure thing." The former is, as we have indicated, relatively a fact; as to the latter, "there ain't no sich animile." Now, the ideal investment varies ac cording to the extent of the surplus means of the investor. There are safe investments for small sums and safe investments for larger sums the saf est, that is, in the light of experience. Generally speaking, the ideal invest ment as regards securities, based on the experience of the average investor through many years, is the diversified employment of funds through mort eaees. bonds and stocks. This diversi fication includes the subdividing of (these general divisions into as many (different industries of proved substan tiality as possible, not only as to prod uct but also as to locality. Many examples of how to distribute an investment of, for instance, $10, 000 according to this method can, of course, be given. Here is one illustra tion which indicates the way to obtain an ideal investment; in other words it provides a safe aqd comfortable means of accumulating a competence: Investment in government bonds, Udu a Pebble t Ws day. to J bis mouth moists WE use Wm gives us a wHolesome, antiseptic, refreshing confection to take the place of the cave man's pebble.

The average yield on a diversified investment of $10,000 such as the above would be very near 6 per cent. the return popularly demanded. There is no beaten track to wealth, but discretion in the selection of ad visers and deliberate rather than hasty judgment as to irvestment mat ters will in most cases bring desirable results and, what is also important, a mind not distracted by fears as to losses. A rule to follow in this connection is to be satisfied with a return that falls short rather than exceeds 6 per cent. For the first essential of the ideal in vestment is safety.
