SEEKERS AFTER CURE OF MIRACLE HEALER CROWD ISLAND ROADS

AMUSEMENT

(By Associated Press SAN JUAN, P. R.t Aug. 11. Extra policemen have been detailed fo- duty at San Lorenzo to help handle the crowds drawn there from Wednesday night to late Friday each week by the

stories of apparent cures by Julua azquez, the "healer of San Lorenzo." I Hundreds, if not thousands, of automobiles carrying the Pick, lame and curious have been visiting San Lorenzo and so great have been tha traffic jams that there have been complaints to the police that the San Lorenzo road was impassable. On Thursday last there was a line of motors two miles long on each side of the roadway waiting for people who are rapidly wearing into a broad trail the cow path that leads up the steep hills to the spring from which the supposedly healing waters come. Thousands Visit Healer Thousands go by motor to the "healer" and more thousands on foot. From Caguas and other nearby towns there has sprung up a regular motor service to and from the place of "miracles." People go by truck loads. They go in carriages, carts and some are i:arried. Stories of "miracles" are (spread with wonderful rapidity through the crowd each day, and there are reports of people coming from Santo Domingo

or the Virgin Islands to get the water blessed by the "healer." Some make a fiesta of it; others are almost reverential. The healing spring is abont a mil-" from the town where the "healer" lives. Near the spring a palm-covered pavillion sheltering 400 to 500 people has been erected. There Thursdays v and Fridays the healer sits in a chair

V.Von a raised nlatform and receives the

sick. Waters from the spring lack healing qualities until she has biessed or magne.'ized them. Water is Blessed After being blessed the water is car

ried away in bottles, buckets, oil cans,

RICHMOND J Betty Compson once again lives up to her reputation in "For Those We Love," playing at the Richmond Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Her beauty reigns supreme upon the screen

i Loveliness, plus a wealth of person

ality and charm, endows her with a power to make audiences live through every dramatic scene. Miss Compson was born in Salt Lake City and her screen career is a long and varied one. She ha3 appeared in productions of all the leading film producing companies. After her far-famed success in "The Miracle Man," she formed her own producing company, and her first picture, "Prisoners of Love," released by Goldwyn, proved a nation-wide success. In her third starring production she adds new laurels. Miss Compson as Bernice Arnold, the beautiful mother

MURRAY An accident in a motor beat caused Betty Hopkins to stay away from home all night. Her father, who belonged to an aristocratic Southern family, was in a fury at her absence. His doubt of her innocence caused a novel string of unexpected incidents to happen. The love of two men, one of whom she spurned; a career as a reporter on a big daily paper, and an explosion changed her life materially. This is all vividly portrayed in.

St John's Parish School Will Open on Sept. 5 Building operations on the new St. John's parochial school and parish house are progressing and it is expected that the school division of the new structure will be ready for occupancy by the time of the opening of school, Sept. 5.

MURRETTE Crowdpd houses have been the rule at the Murrette theatre since "My Lady Friends," a First National at

traction co-starring Mr. and Mrs. Carter De Haven, began a three day en

gagement there. Manager Holland has madp the discovery that his patrons enjoy farces of this kind, and the attendance ha3 been of the recordbreaking variety. The picture is unique in that the cast of ten is composed of three men and seven women. De Haven plays

the part of James Smith, a publisher

of bibles, who gets no help from his

wife in his attempts to get rid of

his millions; Thomas G. Linghara

the bill. When the three do become

serious long enough to offer the mus

ical end of their attraction they score unmistakably, and their persistent display of the comic meets with common favor. The act is somewhat unusual. Eoland and Knight inject a certain sunshiny atmosphere about their work and receive their award of approval. The girls are very well received, getting a good hand for song, dance and characterization. While not startlingly original, the team is a valuable asset to the bill: "Negro conversationalists and singers" perhaps is the best way to describe Scott and Christy. They are real "foolers" as black and tan comedians. Several songs are offered during their appearance. Contrary to many of their predecessors, Bill and Blondy have a comedy

and acrobatical performance of substantial merit. Especially able are they in their feats of strength and skiil. "Sunshine Harbor," is" the film attraction. The Murray closes Sunday night until on or about Sept. 3, in order to undergo many changes and improvements. MARVIN.
