LIBRARY | _ ye A noteworthy step forward in the direction of establishing a public 1 tem in this city has been retiuned here from 1907to 1913 inclusive and then was removed to Ocean City as a part of the | State‘s Summer hool system. It was first established Agriculture, Industrial Art and Science mt the solicitation of Mr. T. D. Senxor, who became later secretary of the State Board of | Examinars and was placed in charge of the Bureau of Credentials of the State. He obtained the backing and . subscriptions of a number of citizens and was able to start and continue the school. ° A board of trustees was formed and incorporated and . governed the school. The school grew | in prosperity PS when finally it was displaced by the Summer School System there was in its possession a large quantity of supplies and over $1500.00 in cash, The pplies were presented to the Ocean City State Summer | School and the cash placed on time deposit. The board of trustees of the school consisted of Thomas W. Millett, president, Samuct H. Moore, Vice Presi dent; Luther C. Ogden treasurer Aaron W. Hand secretary; and William R. Sheppard, Robert E. Hand, Emest W. Lloyd, George W. Gaunt, Joseph F. MucKissic. Three of these gentlemen having passed away dur ing the past five years, the remaining six, S. H. Moore, L. C. Ogden, W. R. Sheppard, E. W Lloyd, — Joseph F. MacKissic and A. W. Hand concluded that some disposal should be made of the fund and unanimously agreed upon the endowment plan for a public brary as outlined in certain resolutions passed August 5th last. These provided for the placing of $1500 as a trust fimd with the Securi ty Trust Company thesinterest LJ paid annually to a board of t e the purpose of application to the oe o S e board of trustees so constituted con siste . now of Mayor F, J.

BROKEN | BLOSSOMS" AT | UIBERTY THEATRE DECLARED A8 ARTISTIC AS ANY PRODUCTION — THAT EVER — REACHED THE GCREEN By VIRGINIA DALE ....- "Broken Blossoms" is the most ragic, the most beautiful thing that ims ever reached the screen. . It is a drama. of wistfuiness, of ungracions tire, of love and furious reality. It is reversing the old order which showed the yellow man in a heathen ute of revulsion and the white man illed in contrast with brotherly love. "Broken Blossoms" is: tremendous in its cruelty, yet through it all runs a thread of beauty which binds the yellow man into the fabric of the plot, He ocmes from a land filled with a mystic race who worship their gods But whatever th goodness. And the to the home of his white brother wi youth‘s enthusiasm . to spread . t goodness e author selected the Limehouse Lights district of Lond in which to have him lose his illusions There cruelty stalked rampant and was epitomized in the person of Bat ling Burrows, a prize fighter, | Wist fulness, pity, horror | and agony woven into a marvelous pattem b Lillian Gish as a waifchild, daughter of Battling B

The thing which could have been so malodorous less . delicately: handled, forms the erux of the story;. the love of the yellow man for the sad-eyed, |" braised little girl, the Broken Blossom of the tale. If is after she falls on his doorstep burt and broken, that . he shows her the first tenderness she has known, And it is tenderness that causes the | blood zed tragedy of the picture in the end. | Nogther producer has dared to pound the emotions as Griffith does here and finale: Nothing has been sucrified for maxes on crowds and mob excitement have their arguments flung in their ; teeth here. There are but three char» acters of importance in "Broken Blosoms" and the scant others seen are nothing less than background. Its hard to remember that Richard Barthelmess | is that — gay — young comedian in "Ill Get You Yet" and other recent comedies. He is an oriental of stolid impassivit violence here. . Lillian lishes herself with the greatest emotionil actresses of all times. Her art is s¢ complete it censes to be an art and de realty. Donald Crisp so lately a director of the lighter pictures. presents himself as the crudest, hardest character the screen has seen. Two days-Friday and Saturday, December, 12 and 18th.
