turned home. His supposed journey
"West" took him as far as Hagers

proved too strong for him to break
and homesickness attacked him soon
'after he had boarded the train, so he
decided to make a quick return. —A
romance which began during the fif
tieth anniversary of the Battle of Get
tvsburg In July, 1913. and was fol-
by the marriage of the prin
«ipals in Hagerstown, Md.. last Au
gust. was revealed here Wednesday

; K, Fifth United States Infantry, an
! nounced that Miss Grace E. Sykes,
daughter of Lewis R. Sykes, of York,

months. Widman met, wooed and
won Miss Sykes in Gettysburg while
he was stationed here with his com
mand during the encampment in 1913.
Her parents lived here at that time
und later moved to York.
SEVENTEEN CMUS
OF OEOS COMING
Harrisburg Auto Co. Will Receive
Largest Consignment of Ma
chines in History of State
Seventeen carloads of Reo automo
biles will arrive in Harrisburg over the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
Company to-morrow from the factor
ies at Lancing, Mich., consigned to the
Harrisburg Automobile Company.
George G. McFarland, head of the
company, said to-day that this is the
largest shipment of cars ever made
to any one firm at one lima in the his
tory of the industry in Pennsylvania.
He is making arrangements to have
the entire trainload photographed on
the tracks of the Reading at Tenth
street and afterward J. S. Klindinst.
Reading freight agent, will have all
the machines assembled in one line in
Tenth street where another photo
graph will be made.
The Harrisburg Auto Company con
tracted with the Reo Company for 273 i
I cars for 1915 delivery with the privi- j
! lege of additional cars during the!
I months of December, January, Febru- :
' ary and March. The Reo company I
| figured that their output of one hun-1
dred cars a day wuuld allow them to
I store some cars during the winter
months but the unprecedented demand ■
i used up their entire output and their
big storage warehouse had its doors
| open.
, The privilege of getting extra cars
j after February was withdrawn and j
that left nothing but the month of
February to get ahead of the game.
Orders for 192 OIR
The Harrisburg Automobile Com
pany has booked orders for 192 cars,
all of which were to be delivered dur
-1 ing February and the early part of
I March. They have delivered just 130
of these orders, which represents more
business than they did last year.
By reason of agreements made at
the factory for extra cars during the
winter months, they were able to get
this trainload of fifty-one automobiles.
This lot of cars, with their regular
allotment, will bring the Harrisburg
' company's order of Reo cars for this
year up to 398. Even this will not
, nearly supply the retail and wholesale
' trade. The Reo line Is without any
doubt the most complete line of mid
: die-priced cars made anywhere and
now consists of the four-cylinder road
ster, four-cylinder touring car. six
cylinder touring car, three-quarter ton
truck and two-ton truck.

WIM.IAM FARNUM AT THE REGENT
To-day William Farnum, the origi
nal Ben Hur. will annear in that fa
mous masterpiece "Spmson." (not a
BibMcal nlay) at the Regent Theater.
William Farnum needs no introduction
to tlie theatergoers of this city. He lias
appeared in our local theaters where
you have paid *2.00 to see him. He ap
pears in one of the most extraordinary
moving picture productions featuring
as "Samson" at the most beautiful
theater in the city, the Regent
"Samson" is a play of tremendous
force and sustained dramatic action,
with climax following climax in start
ling succession.
William Farnum plays the principal
part, that of Maurice Brachard. the
dock laborer who rose to be Samson
of finance, with terrific power and at
times with a primordial ferocity that
is positively stunning.
Edgar Lewis, the producer of "Sam
son," has spared neither pains nor ex
pense and has created a screen snec
tacle which surpasses the original
play in driving force and virility. The
settings have been arranged with mar
velous fidelity and sorupulous atten
' tlon to detail.
Roused to titanic wrath by the false
ness of his friends and by the fact
that the wife he worships spurns his
devotion this modern "Samson" pulls
down the structure of wealth that he
himself has erected, ruins the rake
who Is pursuing his wife and crushes
the crowd of sycophants, and hangers
on that his benevolence has enriched.
"Samson" rises triumphant over the
wreck of his fortunes and secure In
the love of his wife and with full faith
In her. sets his face toward a fresh
beginning.
Our next week's program is still
greater. Tlie first two days. Monday
and Tuesday. Lasky introduces "The
Man From Home" with Charles Rich
man in the original cast. Wednesday
and Thursday, "The Straight Road,
featuring Gladys Hanson. Friday, for
one day only, a favorite of Harrisburg,
William Russell, will appear in "Wild
fire."
