NG OF KINGS AT THE GAPITOL Reverent Pholoplay Has En- dorsement of Thousands Cecil B. DeMille's motion picture | Life of Christ under the title of “The King of Kings"—a work of tremendoys magnitude and beauty, which ran for many months at ephanced prices in New York, Chi¢ago, Doston and other cities, will be on view at the Capitol thea- ter on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mr. De Mille begins the story with Jesus, makes the counter motive the ofposition of fcribe and Pharisee and High Priest, and develops - the first grand climax in the: Cleansing of the Temple. Here arises the sec- ond opposition; the resentfulness cf Judas when Jesus refuses the tem- poral Kingdom. From scenes of great beauty in .and around Rethany—the children in the Olive Grove and the raising of Lazarug—the action goes to the Upper Room of the Lord's Supper and thence to the Garden of Gethse- mane. This wonderful sequence is preceded by the scene when Judas bargains with Caiaphas fo bhetray Jesus for thirty pleces of silver, and it is followed by Peter's denial of his Lord. . The scene before the Sanhedrin is brict. *Rut a second and grander climax is reached in the 'Trial hefare Pilate, the opposing factors of good and evil being so stoutly matched and the apparent trivmph of the evil o heart-breaking. The “return of. the action” is already at work in the | remorse and subsequent suicide of | Judas, and in the spivitual triumph of the Divine Sufferer on Calvary. The third and highest dramatic climax is the crucifision of Jesus. Tn it. the art of De Milia has heen touched with something of the same divine fire that animated the pencils of the “Old Masters.” Finally the acme of spiritual beauty is in the auiet and lovely denoument from the Magdalenc’s strange encounter with the ardener” whem she found to be her blessed Lord, and the final meseage of the manifested Faviour: “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every ereaturs It will be offered at two per- formances on Sunday cvening and continuously on Monday, Tue 3 and Wednesday.

Ellingwood to Make Use, of Material at Hand Making use of available material on hand, lyde Ellingwood, the new superintendent ot parks, not only lLias laid out an claborate and am bitlous program which he thinks 1 can accomplish throughout the win ter,and early spring, but figures on doing this yith with an already de- creased force of workmen and at little expense to the city. With the park appropriation rap- tdly dwindling and several thou- sands of dollars iess than heretofore, Mr. Ellingwood has under way some radical improve in local parks. Nursery at Walnut Hill Park Probably the greatest surprise to the Herald representative who visit- ed Walnut Hill park yesterday was the discovery that there are scveral acres ot grounds, fronting on P’ark Terrace, usually passed by with a casual glance, which are a veritable treasure house in flowers, trees and shrubbery. 1t is in this section that Mr. El- | |PALACE— Todsy the | lingwood hopes to develop a shady grove for people who flee to varks for comfort during the hot days of summer. In this grove one suddenly and unexpectedly finds hundreds and in fact thousands of trees and bushes crowding cach oth- or for room to grow.

Many of tnem have been used in the re-widened gateway to Willow Brook park from the Mill street entrance. There are snowball bushes which the public never sees in this grove. Rose Bushes by Husndreds Hundreds of ros bushes of twe or more varictics. so close together that they get little sunlight and have few roses, will be thinned ocut and transplantzd. Men now are planting large beds of roses on the open space facing the New Lritain Genewal hospital. Two large square beds of roses have been planted, another is being dug up and sev- {eral arches to support climbing vores will be placed where patients !in the hoepital can Jook eut and ec them. In fact, the tide of Waluut Hill park fronting on Grand steeet will become by next summer immense rose garden, far b anything heretofore considered ously in this city. As an added fea- ture & large crescent shaped rock| garden containing ferns and iris will be placed in the center back- gyound. Thousands of young maple trees are being thinned out, cvery other tree belng removed, so as to prepare the shade grove. Shrubbery and honeyauckle. bushes are being trans- planted, removed to other parks or being placed in new positions n Walnut Hill park. One bed of shrubbery standing aimost as high man’s shoulder, | 1s about 10 fect wide and more tha 60 feet long and covered with beau- tiful pink flowers, hidden in the dense folinge where few ever sec them. There are hundreds of iris piants, so crowded under the shade of maple and cedar trees that they rever get the sunlight and bloow. These will be placed in the rock garden facing the hospital, and remorod to other parks. | Hedge Bushes Avallable | There are long stretches of bhox | und Japancse barberry bushes that | | would delignt the heart of a land- | scape gardener, crowding a conglom- s muss of shrubi v.
