MOVIES IN CHURCHES. | Many people aobject to ‘popular” music, even of the better sort, in the | churches. They insist upon “church- ly” music, and their sincerity com- mands respect. No humorous re- marks should be indulged in at thelr expense. There is much to be said in favor of their attitude advocating an atmosphere of sanctity in everything | pertaining to worship. But a very devout old person once remarked, re- ' ferring to this very matter: “Why| should the devil have all the good music?” “Good music,” to him, was music the air of which—he would have called it the “tune”—he was able to catch and, perhaps, to hum. More and more, as changes come, “good music” which is really music to the ear even of the musician, is finding its way into the churches. The old Gregorian chants, splendid and fine but lacking in popular ap- peal, are less universally used. Today a popular magazine is telling in serial form “The Story of the Bible,” Its paraphrasing, with the history of its beginning and compil- ing, is fascinating, Interest in the Bible will be roused through this serfal story that would not come fn any other way, Now, in one of our old New Eng- land churches, there s the plan of introducing ns a permanént feature, moving pietures, As sweet musie, even though ‘unchurchly” appeals to the ear; as the {ale of the Bible, attractively presented—although no modern writing may seek to exceed the biblical language In beauty— appeals to the minds of many, so now an appeal |8 made to the vision, and | all are inspired by the same desire—! the improvement, the betterment of man and the world, Even thoss who Insist that the house of God should ba a sacred place devoted to His worship, and not a plase where "shows” should be stagsd-—even they seek to make such edifioes beautiful, Even those who belleva the appoint. ments of a church should be severs and plain are not quits eonsistent when they depreeate adding attrde. | tions (o serviees dedicated to Him | whieh will draw peopla to thoss serv. fees, if they admil thai beauly of sight should be considered in the ~ American boxers bring to a focus all those indefinitely desired sights. In plain words we would lige to see a | lively American boxer in the same ring with a phlegmatic German whe | had never left his native land. We | should like to sec how the German | would meet the dazzling rushes of a Tommy Gibbons or the darting lefts of a Jim Corbett. We should like to see a native born and reared German swinging wildly at a certain point about sixty seconds after his American antagonist had moved gracefully | from that spot and was singing “The Star Spangled Banner” in another corner of the ring. There would seem to be a great| field in Germany for America's fourth- raters, but, strong ‘a8 they are they should be warned not to accept pay-| ment for their services {n German money for even their strength would | not be great enough to carry away a few dollars’ - worth of (Cierman marks. “LIGHTNIN".” Frank Bacon, the actor is dead. | But it will be “Bill Jones,” familiarly calied “Lightnin’' " in the play of that name who will be mourned by thou- sands of people who saw life more hopefully because; of the cheerful philosophy of that fhomely character, expressed so delightfully by the man who gave himself to the representa- tlon for over four years, And In mourning the death of the character, rather than the man who played it, there is no slight upon Frank Bacon's | memory. FKFrank Bacon was appeal- ing, wonderful in the part because deep in the man there was the charm, the cheer that made “Lightnin’,” with all his faults, so lovable. Bacon was not a great actor, but when he came to' a role to which he could give his | own philosophy of life, he made that live long in memory. By strange coincidence there ap- peared twenty-five years ago today in this city another actor whose fame came from those same qualities pos- | sessed in such a degree by the char- acter made famous by Frank Bacon. It was Denman Thompson whom New Britaln saw a quarter of a Century ago, and Denman Thompson was loved, the character he painted to live forever in the memories of those who saw him, was loved, because there, too, the homely gentle traits of the frail human being were presented with all their appeal. | In a day when all Broadway and' the Broad#rays throughout the coun- | try were rushing madly to see tainted | plays dealing with suggestive subjects or to hear musical comedies sustained throughout by the jazz which seems "never to fail, Frank Bacon turned thousands out of that whirling chan- nel to the little playhouse where the attraction was an atmosphere of old- | fashioned kindliness, sweetness. This, in {tself, was a great acmevementl testified to by every tear that came to every eye which saw and heara him, Winchell Smith, co-author of !the play “Lightnin’ " sald in this city not long ago that an attempt was to be made to screen the play with ¥rank Bacon In the title role. It is too late for this, now, but the actor cannot be effaced. ARE WE SORRY?

So-called progressive poli- ticians have declared in favor of {ncreasing taxes on corporation sur- | pluses and imposing them on atock! dividends. As the influence of these politiclans increases and it becomes more and more certain that they will have a voice in future legislation, boards of directors have decided that the present would be a good time to distribute their reserve funds. Even blase ‘Wall street has been astounded at the scope of their activity. Radicals will denounce in lurid. language the revelatfon that such' large hurpluses existed. The subject will furnish them with ammunition for months to come. Yet the distri- bution of dividends on such a broad | scale, whether in cash or stocks, will be of benefit to business as a whole because it will transfer huge sums from reserve accounts to active par- ticipation in trad putting more money into circulation and 'fnrmamng, capital for new enterprises. Business needs new blood unless it is to stagnate. 'The surpluses will prove to be a blessing which only the political blind will refuse to see., " 4GoOD IN THE won.s-r,i ' ‘“There’s so much bad in the best! of us and so much good in the worst of us that it scarcely behooves any of us to find fault with the rest of us,” or something like that. Some time ago note was made that a barbarian tribe punished rent profiteers by marching them up and down between rows of tepees, or something like that, chained | and fettered with cruel bonds made | of thorn vines or something like that. Now we hear from the news re- or some place like that, that the Uk- raine government has been trying to break up graft and bribery among state employes. The director of the state trading department, by the name of Meletensky, or something like that, and his agent were tried and found guilty of grafting in disposing of state timber from one government depart- ment to another—which has a fa- millar sound—and were sentenced to be shot. Of course, we hate violence; of | course such a sentence ‘was excessive, but, of course, also, we would like to find ' some way to prevent graft and punish grafters when they're found out. We would not sentence them to be shot; we would not bind them with' cruel thorns and parade them in front | of city hall or the state capitol, but| certainly we should like to know who the grafters are, if there are any, and we should like to slap them on the wrists—or something like that. 25 Years Ago Today (Taken from Herald of that date) o e e e s .

PARLIAMENT OPENS N ENGLAND TODAY Labor Party Contender lor Place as “The Opposition” London, Nov, 20.—(By Associated Press.)—A parliament in which Ire- land, with the exception of part of Ulster, is not represented and in which the labor party appears as the chief contender for recognition as the opposition, opened today. T. P. O'Connor, ‘“father of the house,” proposed John Henry Whit- ley for‘fe-election as speaker, and the | house adjourned to receive the king'se formal assent tofits choice of speak- 3 i er. 1 The rush of m'cmbers to the house to obtain seats was the biggest since the war, and long before the: doors opened a small crowd had gathered to “peg claims” for favored places. ‘When the doors opened the members rushed in, snatched cards from the attendants and raced up the steps for the desired positions. Among those obtaining the coverted ; corner seats from which government have been enflladed tn past were Lady Astor and Lloyd George. The latter's uty, but Lady Astor personally seized the corncr seat on the government side. The place next to her was tak- en by Col. Gretton, champion of the liquor interests. Usual Formalities. The proceedings started with the usual formalities. The clerk of the crown presented to the clerk of the house a book containing a list of the sage was recelved requesting the im- mediate attendance of the eommon- ers in the house of lords where they were instructed that their first duty was the election of the speaker. Re- turning to the house of commons, the olerk assumed charge of the pro- ceedings. He mercly pointed a flngerl, at T. P. O'Connor, who proposed ‘Whitley. Fight For Opposition. The parliament was the smallest since the union with Ireland in 1801. The session just concluded-was the $1st parllament of “the United King- dom of Great Britain and Ireland,” but Ireland, with the exception of a part of Ulster, is no longer represent- ed. The question as to which party will be recognized as constituting the official opposition is a question of par- amount interest. The laborites have asserted an uncompromising claim to ! this point on the ground of their| numerical strength, but rumors are afloat that their claims will be dis- puted by the liberals. Another much discussed question, solution of which was looked for té- day, is the ‘leaderghip of the labor| party. According some storles in circulation there is a conflict between the trade union and the so-called “intellectual” branches of the party. The formalities of swearing in.the new members are expected to occupy Tuesday and *Wednesday. After the king's speech on Tuesday the parlia- ment will ‘proceed to a consideration ot the Irish constitution, ratification of which must be accomplished by December 6, if the Anglo-Irish treaty is not to lapse. The general opinion is that the constitution bill will be carried without much delay.
