-MACK SENNETTS NEW COMEDY * "A SMALL TOWN IDOL" I Ben Turpin seen as the cross eyed ' hero in screen's greatest' comedy amid 1000 California beauties. One of the . features of "A'All Star Week" at The D Palace. g Everybody has heard of the beauty of the. Mack Sennett Girl. She has become an institution in the land — an abstraction meaning beauty of face, y symmetry of form and grace of person. Well, they'll all be in 'the next r Mack Sennett production.. "A Small Town Tdol," released by the Associated Producers and booked for the Pala ace Theatre on Friday and Saturday, February 25 and 26. AU the Mack Sennett "dolis" will , be there — and then some! In one scene alone 500 beautiful girls partic- ~ ipate, their harmonized presence being headed by Marie Provost,- who with 1 another Sennett Beauty, Phyllis Haver, shares thje feminine stellar honors of the production. • And Ben Turpin will be there also. His will be the tithj roll — a small town idol. { Poor Ben Turpin! All the woes that have ever been allotted him in a > Sennett plot will seem like items in a perfect d?$ ^compared with the r calamity that follows him as ^ero of t "A Small, Town Idol." This is said to be even greater than the former Mack Sennett productions such as "Tillie's Punctured Romance," "Mickey .""Yankee Doodle in Berlin," and "Down on the Farm." It comes to The New Palace on Frir ay and Saturday, February 25th and 26th. s CAPE MAY TO HAVE STOCK CO. r Cartland-Lumley, Stock Company, an organization of "tiigh-class exceftj ence, presenting the latest Brondway productions with a New York cast .' will appear at the Liberty Theatre, Saturday matinee and night of each r week commencing March 5th, present1 ing for their opening play, Maud Ful- • ton's and Madame Nazimovas bife' success "The Brat."

JERSEY-DELAWARE FERRY BILL NOW A LAW : • . Washington to be Two Hundred Miles Closer to Cape May. Automobile Trips to Norfolk a Matter of a Few Hours. Assemblyman Boswell 's bill creating a ferry bill between New fs * . -V Jersty and Delaware, successfully passed the house and senate and ^ was finally approved by Governor Edwards on Monday. This bill s authorizes the Highway Commission to build wharfs and steamers to connect with the famous duP°nt Highway, of Delaware, which in turn 1 lead to Baltimore, Washington and the great prosperous southern cit- ■ ies. The ferry system will bring Baltimore within a few mileswauto . drive from Cape May after a restful, invigorating trip across the quiet I. " '. • waters of the Delaware Bay. Motorists from the nearly southern cit- | ies can tour the New Jersey resorts from Cape May to the Atfantic ' Highlands and save driving through congested cities and being crowdr ed and jammed about on the inefficient "railroad ferries of Philadel- , pliia-Camden, where during the past few years the tourists have been | compelled to wait for boats until so thoroughly disgusted that they were ■ willing to give up and return home. The new route will shorten the distance between Cape May and ' and Norfolk', Va., by two hundred miles over improved roads— twentyfive minutes more will land the tourist in Wildwood, aupther hour in • Ocean City and thirty minutes more will bring the party in Atlantic r City! The tourist with limited- amount of time will have an oppor1 tunity of visiting the four great sea shore resorts in* the world— greatest 1 because each is in a class by itself, eacn catering to a different class of • pleasure seekers. ' ■ Commissioner- Wcntzell and 'James E. Taylor have been to Dover, ' Del., lor the purpose of getting legislation to help on the Delaware side. ' This, bill is without doubt the most important bill which Governor i Edwards ever signed for the benefit of our coast resorts, and we feel justly proud to think our AssemblyiPan Boswell, was the father of this practical bill.
