REALTORS CAN'T GET HOUSES; DEMAND FOR HOMES IS TERRIFIC

The outlook for spring real estate business in Richmond is good, in fact it is too good, said local real estate men when approached Wednesday. "There are too many buyers for the property available. The greatest demand is tor modern, up-to-date, modern home?." between $3,500 and $5,000, and we haven't got them," he continued. "If we had the property to sell we could not run our business without ; help. I have turned away at least 40 j.rospective buyers in the last 10 days for lack of property. "The right of possession figures strongly in real estate transactions at the present time. Tenants now occupying property want to hold on to it. In fact a large number of renters are seeking to buy the property they now reside in, on the installment plan.

Property Owners Desirable. i "If this spirit holds out it will be a great advantage to the city of Rich-, mond, for a property owner is by far, the most desirable resident. "A family that resides in its own j home will take much better care of; it and will bo more enthusiastic in I

community welfare as a whole. The v.ar had a great deal to do with this. People seemed to be scared to build 1'Omos. but want, something already erected, so that they can get into them inmedintely. They will not be satisfied with any house, out of date. It must be of the latest design and contain all the latest conveniences. Needs Nervy Builder. "What Richmond really needs," said the real estate dealer in conclusion "is somebody that has got the nerve to go out and build homes." Speaking in regard to farm sales the dealer said that sales of farms this vear seem to be falling of considerably. s"The price of farm land is not on the decrease," he said, "although farm sales are moving slowly. "During the War everybody wanted to move to the country, but now that the war is over, they are all anxious to get back into the city."

ARMY OFFERS COURSES An excellent course in tractors and farm mechanics is now open to young men for three year enlistments, Sergeant Thompson, local recruiting officer, said Tuesday. All recruits enlisting in this branch of service will be sent to Des Moines, la., said Thompson. Thompson returned Monday from Indianapolis with his family.

The Theatres

WASHINGTON The latest Goldwyn picture. "Lord and Lady Algy," in which smiling Torn Moore is starred, will be shown at the Washington Theatre, Today and tomorrow. The leading feminine role assumed by Naomi Childers. Miss Childers, who was voted the most beautiful screen actress in Japan, is perfectly cast as the stately wife of young Lord Algy. Frank Leigh, as Lord Algy's scalawag brother in a truly vicious manner, while William Burress as Barbazon Tudway, the millionaire soap manufacturer evokes round alter round of laughter with every appearance he makes. Mable Ballin, as the young, beautiful wife of the soap king, looks beautiful and acts her role winsomely. Kate Lester portrays a regal dowager with life-like fidelity. Leslie Stewart, Alec B. Francis, Philo McCullough, and Hal Taintor complete the caste. "LISTEN LESTER" AT THE MURRAY Next Monday you will have the opportunity of seeing the musical comedy that reigned at the Knickerbocker Theatre, New York City for twelve consecutive months with the entire cast, chorus, production and special company orchestra. "Listen Lester"

which was awarded the trademark of the "smartest musical comedy of the Broadway season" is the work of Harry L. Cort, George Stoddard, and Harold Orlob. , Its dancing specialties were remarkable in a season of dancing, and it deserves its rank as much for it3 terpischorean efforts as for its tuneful melodies which have been circulated hroughout the country on the Victrola. The story concerns one Arbutus Quality, a successful manicurist with much foresigi,. and a package of letters, writen to her by a repentant Colonel Dodge. The earstwhile suitor, Colonel Dodge, is trailed by the determined Arbutus to a hotel in Florida The Colonel establishes a reputation for dodging, the vindictive Arbutus; the female detective who is trailing Arbutus, and the designing widow, Mrs. Mumm, who awaits him with open arms. Wiliam Penn Jr. the hotel clerk is a good mixer and almost keeps peace between the guests of the

hotel. Lester, the titular hero of the comedy is a hotel porter who listens only when the request la backed by a bank note. His services are much In demand by all parties. MURRETTE The progress of the banditry from the time when Indians held up the Western pony express in 1860 down to present days never was bo well shown as in "The Lincoln Highwayman." which Wiliam Russell will be seen as star, Thursday at the Murrette theatre After an Indian attack on the pony express, the second episode of the thriling feaature shows a lone highwayman robbing an old stagecoach. The third episode shows the Jesse James method of holding up a train. The action then shows the bandit of the present day, who holds up automobiles on the Lincoln Highway, and relieves the passengers of their valuables. But a pseudo-bandit in this case has a sympathetic reason for his act-

It is Mitchell Lewis's latest photoplay, "Fools' Gold," a super-production that was filmed in the great Northwest. It is said that the scenery is unusually beautiful. Florence Turner, the popular Eng

lish actress, supports Mitchell Lewis in "Fools Gold" and is as charming and winsome as ever.
