Kdith Storey, as Glory Quayle, gives a vivid impersonation of Viola Allen's grear- e¢st part, a part which she starred in for eight consecutive seasons with glorious success. Earle Williams in pertraying John Storm a type of man who is almost a religious fanatic, accomplishes equally brilllant work as Miss Storey, and it is the best of the many great performances he has given the screen. In their support is; the finest cast of Vitagraph stars ever seen in one production, the pho- tography is excellent, the scenic in- vestures without a flaw, and the en- tire stupendous production, savors of the highly artistic. Special musi- cal score with music appropriate for each and every scene is excellently played by Mr. Ernest F. Jores, the theater organist who also renders an overture which preceeds the main ai- traction. Mr, Jores will play “The Willlam Tell” overture today and “The Raymond Overture” tomorrow night. The program will be shown continuously today with “The Chris- tian” showing at 2:30 p. m., 5:30 p. m, and 8:30 while .tomorrow it will be shown but once, and at that, at 8 p. m. Four carefully selectéd singie reel comedies and dramas augment the program, stamping this offering as the best of the many presented at. this popular playhouse, and should not be missed by any of the legion of Fox patrons BEN GREET PEAYERS TO BE IN HARTFORD Lovers of Shakespearean drama will be offered a rare treat when the Ben Greet Woodland Players give “As You Like It” and “Midsummer Night's Dream,” at Hartford on Wednesday, June 16, on the grounds of the Hart- . ford Golf club This company has been before the public in a prominent way for so long that it needs no introductien to a New Britain audience. Nothing is more delightful and en- tertaining on a summer’s evening than an out-of-door performance of one of Shakespeare's = comedies. Of spe- cial interest to music lovers is the announcement that a string quartette of soloists from - the Philadelphia Symphony orchestra will interpret the beautiful musical settings especially written for Shakespeare’'s plays, by various world-known composers. An attractive natural stage has been provided for the performance on the fair green of the Gglf club course which affords a most exquisite set- ting. The plays will be given at 3 o’clock ; "in the afternoon, and 8:30 in the evening. Seats are now on sale at Sedgwick & Casey’s, 139 Asylum St., Eartford _ All seats arée reserved by nuniber = Arrangements have been made to i give the plays in the Governor’'s Foot Guard armory, in case rain should i prevent a presentation out of doors. Precisely the same plan of seats will be used The Herald will be notifled early on the morning of the plays, in case it Is found necessary to give them {ndoors, and patrons can get the information by tclephoning to us. ‘When the traveling bsag becomes dirty, wash it all over with tepid cient Rome, union are torch in women, tion are taking turns carrying the Emulating the vestal virgins of an- the Wamen's Political keeping aflame a Greek their crusade for votes for Members of the organiza- (By Henrietta Rodman In New York Tribune.) “You were a teacher,” hegan Con- troller Prendergast. “Were you ex- hausted by working five hours a day five days a week and forty weeks a year, or were you able to teach in the summer schools and the cvening schools for extra pay?” “Sometimes 1 was,” T admitted, “and sometimes I wasn't. = It de- pended on the conditions under which the teaching was done. When 1 was left relatively free to work out my own ideas I was interested in my work and didn’t want to stop, but when I was forced to follow a dull routine T was tired and nervous, and ready to become hysterical if T was asked to do extra work.” 5 “Very well,” agreed the controller. “If the conditions under which the the teachers are weorking are un- wholesome, mentally or physically, they should be changed. Of course, U's necessary for efficiency that con- ditions should be right-—that teachers should not feel themselves restricted and nagged. Repression Old-fashioned. “We don’t want the old-fashioned ¢iscipline of repression. That's been the trouble with the public schools all along. I suffered from it when I was a bay. “Teachers as well as pupils should have all the freedom possible to work aiong right lines. Of course they will be nervous and worried if every minute detail of the day's work is planned and supervised.” “They are,” I reassured Mr. Pen- dergast. “Every step is indicated by the curriculum or the district superin- tendent or the principal. They're all hopest, intelligent people, devoted to the public interest, but they’re all driven by the curricuium, “The teachers have to darive the children, the principals have to drive the teachers, the superintendents have to drive the principals in the'schools that we've built. Must Change Conditions, “Then we must change the con- ditions,” repeated Mr. Pregergast em- phatically. “If the teachers feé¢l themselves criven, if they're nervous and worried under conditions as they are, those conditions are wrong for five hours a day. They should not exist at all. “But do you honestly believe that the conditions of teaching are-neces- sarily harder than those tn any other occupation in which women are em- rloved?” he asked. “No,” T said, “I don't. “I believe that if a man or woman loves the work and is naturally gifted water and a little soap.

The question is whether we should accept for oursetves less than we think that others ought to have.” “What do yvou think would be a fair amount of service for the city to ask from the teachers, considering that their salaries are pard by the public, and that most of the public rn less than they pay the teachers? Mr. Prendergast wanted to know. Work as Peopie Do, “Isdon’t want to give one minute more of the kind of service that is required from most of us now,” T re- plied. “But if teachers can work as people work in other professions, as creative artists, they'll give the hours that such persons give, “As long as people are driven by threats and marks they'll do no more than the law requires and will resist every suggestion to change the law.” Corroborating Controller ‘Prender- gast's ideas and speaking from her experience as a school teacher and a social worker, Miss Frances Perkins feels that the teacher is a distinctly favored member of society. Yet it was Miss Perkins who, through the Con- sumers’ league, reduced the working hours of factory women from sixty to fifty-four a week. Miss Perkins is now secretary of the Committee on Safety, and through her varied comes in contact with women workers in all walks of life.
