The exceedingly long drought came to an end October 6, and although the rain did not come in a large quantity it brought a welcome relief. The weather conditions at present afford a pleasant change from the hot dry spell we have been enduring. The long continuous hot spell was somewhat unusual for this time of the year. The weather affected the attendance at the theatres and theatregoing was as uncomfortable as though it was midsummer. Behind the scenes is no longer a curiosity to the public as it was years ago. The public was given an opportunity of seeing the mys teries of stage effects when Mr. Belasco’ presented Zaza. Marshal Gorsuch, of the Baltimore County | police force, bas issued an order that will prevent any child under twelve years old from visiting moving picture theatres unless accompanied by parents or a guardian. He thinks that the pictures cause the young children to stay out late at nights and contract immoral habits. He has given his men strict orders to enforce the rule vigorously. The marshal also desires a censorship established for the pictures exhibited in the territory under his control. porn ee A ~-he Se: .
