Motion Pictures at Today finds an entirely new show at the Broadway, of modern vaude- ville and motion pictures. As a spe- cial feature the management offers an intepsely interesting Scotch act, The Lass o Loch Lomond. This act is replete with special scenery, repre- senting the famous mountain of Ben Lomond, and features the Scotch sing- ers, Sterling and Chapman. Ham- mond and Ferrester, who are called the laughsmiths of vaudeville have an act which is a real novelty. A fast bag punching act intermingled with silly kid comedy is offered py Felton. The Clemenzo Bros. are a team of Eu- ropean musical acrobatic clowns who have been a big success every place they have appeared. There will be two feature plctures, which will be n for the first time in Norwich, The Night Riders of Kentucky, and Shel- tered Under Stars and Stripes. Also three other first class pictures. THE AUDITORIUM. At the Auditorium the inauguration of Keith’s vaudeville has set a pace that will be a swift one to follow. Commencing next Monday (January 10) the management will follow their original policy, as announced at the beginning of the season, of booking in wp vaudeville bllls a week, the pro- gramme being changed every Monday and- Thursday. The show this week, headed by Sa- bine, Mlle. Vera and Burke, gives more than satisfaction. - The feature act, The Arrival of Kitty McCarthy, with its spectacular setting, showing Brooklyn bridge, is one big hit, the dialogue 1s bright and snappy. the sit- wations are funny, and taken alto- gether it is a good example of what may be expected under the new book- ing arrangement. The rest of the bill eonsisting of Marion and Dean, Kim- ball and Lewis, and Guy Lester. all win their share of the applause. The motion wpictures were not behind in winning fevor and the subjects un- usually interesting. BREED THEATER. The Law of the Mountain, Thrilling Kentucky Story. Another magnificent scenic picture @omes to the Breed theater today and is entitled The Law of the Mountains, a splendid portrayal of life in the mountain districts of Kentucky, and the consequence of breaking the un- written law of the mountains. It is said that upon no section of this coun- try has the spirit of advancement laid its h‘nd more lightly than upon the mountains of eastern Tennessee and Kentucky. Here in this rude and erude section there exists an unwrit- ten law among the mountaineers that whatever mountaineer that assists a revenue officer in locating a still and is discovered is punishable by death. It happens in this case that a pov- erty stricken father, with sick wife and child, is prevailed upon by the revenue officer to disclose the where- abouts of a certain still in his neigh- bodhood, which he does for a consid- eration, spending the money for his sick family’s medicine. His sudden ossession of means creates suspicion fn the minds of his friends, and he is accused of “informing.” The sick child is saved by the prompt medical atten- tion, but the faithful father pays the penalty, being shot by the mountain- eers while drawing a bucket of water in his home yard. The balance of the bill is equally good, there being exceptionally good comedy, and splendid singing by Miss Wolcott. Backfire. Isn't the conservation movement getting a little snarled? News comes from the west that commercial organ— dzations in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, under the banner of con- servation, are demanding that the states be given full control of water power, coal lands and other resources within their borders now held under title of the federal government. It is only recently that the people of the United States have come to realize that gifts of extraordinary value havs been given away for songs. It is this realization which is now holding up the entry of the billion dollar coal fields in Alaska. Washington has play- ed a big part in the exploitation of Un- cle Sam’s property. It was learned re- cently that the ramifications of the Cunningham trickeries involved prom- fnent citizens in Oregon and Idaho, not to mention a few representatives and senators. In Montana water rights @nd mineral property worth empires ‘have passed from federal control for- ever. This protest of commercial bodies looks suspiciously like the back- fire of the discredited Mitchells, Ful- tons and Heyburns.—Toledo Blade, A Queer Track. Arthur McNay of Galena is telling a story of Tom Botkin, assistant sec- retary of state, Ed. Sapp and one .Jeff Davis. Sapp and Botkin spent the past two weeks in Arkansas hunting, a trip which they make annually. “It is said,” tells McNay, “tha. on one of their trips they ran across the tracks of what seemed to be a fearful and wonderful creature. The remarkable part of the track was that it was of a biped and the feet were pointed in op- posite directions. Determined to as- certain what kind of a thing it was that could go both ways at once, Sapp took one track and Botkin took the other. Before separating they agreed to meet at the starting point in two nours. At the appointed time the trailers met 3s agreed upon. “Well, Sapp,” asked Botkin, “what did you find 2 “Well,” replied Ed., “I followed the trail about a mile and met a native. He told me I-was tracking Jeff Davis and was doing fine, as there wasn't a hound in the state that could follow the governor's tral. [ went a bit fur- ther and found Davis playing seven-up with a bartender te see who would set 'em up to a crowd of hill-billies. What did you find?” “Ah, ha,> gasped .Botkin. “Now I know how it is that Davis owns Ar- kaneas. t now, over that ridge, Jeff Davis is a leader in prayer at a prohibition convention. That man can walk and talk both ways at once and these people don’t know it. Wonder- ful! Wonderful!”—Kansas City Jour- nal. What's in a Name? The London Spectator very prope: rebukes the Baroness von Hutten - spelling “Bice” as ‘“Beechy.” To make the matter worse she called the Amer- ican edition of her novel “Beechy” for fear that American readers would not know how to pronounce the diminutive of “Beatrice” But why use a title that her readers cannot pronounce” As a book title “Bice” is pad enough but “Beechy” is worse—it doed n even represent correctly the Italian pronunciation. The English edition is called “The Lordship of Love” wh is commonplace enough, but at . intelligible.—Springfield Republican. This Momentous Epoch.
