The Danger Line, Superb .Film d’Art. Thé beautiful motion pictue shown at the Breed last evening entitled The Danger Line is one of the most art- istic dramatic films that has ever been produced, and is obtained from a worhi-famous French sgory, and,though Broad and deep in its meaning, it is intelligibly pictured by a talented cast. in-it there is an appeal to every hu- man heart and inspiration to every soul. Photographically and scenically it ‘is the best that skill and art can roduce. It is a classic of its kind, and easily one of the successes of the » season. s The Biograph offering is entitled A €hild of the Ghetto, and depicts an entlrely different phase of life, that of the sweat shops of Rivington street, New York. The characters are choSen with master judgment, and the conse- quence is the whole atmosphere of this weirdly absorbing picture is abso- lutely correct, inasmuch as several of the most eacting scenes take place on Riviogtori street, with its horde of struggling human beings. A" big western picture entitled The Cowboy's Warg attracts and delights snany, while the splendid singing of Miss Cllrk in the brilliant song, “Car- issim: demands especial mention, as does hi work in “I Miss You, Sweet- Brart, More a=3 More Each Day.” JEFFRIES’ PICTURE AT THE AUDI- TORIUM. With the greatest glove_contest of History but five days off the presenta- tion of the moving pictures of James J. Jeffries is particularly appmpfl&le, These plctures were taken on Jeffrjes’ ranch in California, and they show’ the undefeated champion as he is at home, surrounded by Mis wife and family, thus proving that although a pers may be a pugilist by profession, he may still remain a man and a respect- able citizer. This picture is for Wed- nesday and Thursday only, so come earty and avoid the rush. The class acts this week are all meking individual bits. John F. Mur: phy, . the Xlvphone King, upholds» his reputation, receiving numerous en. cores. The Shaw Twins, daughters of the famous Alice Shaw, the lady whist- ler, present a neat and refined act on the lines of their talented parepr. The ‘best bicycle act ever seen in Norwich is the Tadeska-Keating Trio,who com- bines ground tumbling and pyramid work with some delicate and difficult feats on the wheel. Did you sée A New Excuse, the funniest picture of the sea- son? There are more where that came from. GERMAE SOCIETY Must Make Report in English, Says " Insurance Commissioner. An examination of the annual report of State Insurance Commissioner T. H. Macdonald shows that a thorough investigation was made into the affairs of fraternal societies «doing insurance busigess in this state, says The An- sonia Sentinel. In most instances the organizationg were found to be in ex- cellent condjtion, although methods of bookkeeping were frequently unsat factory. Visits were made 1o this city by the department inspectors and the books of the order of Hermann's Sons, of which Otto Berger served as secre- tary, for many vears, overhauled. _An examingtion oi~the finances of thé or— der showed them to be in good condi- tien. THe insurance department or- dered, however, that the books be kepé in English so they could be more read- ily’ examined. The practice of transferring money from the mortuary fund to the expense eccount was forbidden, and _other changes suggested in eonducting the affairs of the organization. The expense of running the society wae found to be very low and in strik- ing contrast with eertain other organ- izations, the state officers af yhich are not residents of this city. The number of fraternal orders do- ing business in this state is larg?, there no less than fifty which reperted to the insurance department. Thj E of Desertion. At the Milwaukee Press club, re- cently, Gen. Arthur MacArthur re- ferred to the evil of desertion, which is one of the problems of maintaining the United States army in times of ce. ' Men who enter the service re- the obligation to re- for the full period of their enhet ments. It _is now reported from New York that no less than 5,500 disappeared from garrisons during the past In commenting on this fact the p of that city mentions the fact of deserter who was caught was sen- tenged to “confinement at hard labor for six menths and forfeiture of pay for.that period.” and declares that the punishment was inadequate as a de- terrent, because at its expiration the culprit became a private in good standing. The suggestion having been made in this connection that desertion should be. made an absolute bar to further military service, The Army and Navy Journal expresses the opin- ¥on that such a law would go a long way toward abating the evil of deser- - tlon. It has been further suggested thiat if captured deserters: were com- pelled to serve their full period of enlistment with the time of absence during “French leave” added, and de- prived of pay, and at the end of the Term of eniistment discharged as un- wowthy of further emplovment by the overnment, men would think serious- 1y before they desert from barracks or cammp.—Milwaukes Wisconsin. Cheerful College Presidents. After - so much pessimism on the part: of the raillway presidents, the cheerful confidence of the college 'presidents and college orators in the future of the eountry comes as a wel- come balm. Except for Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, who is alone in d‘s'i covering a ‘“pall of uncertainty,” the tone rin this year’s baccalaureate ad- dresses is distinctly optimistic. ‘Presid! Hadley told the Yale sen- iors thest “thanked God” they “had beanm into an.age of faith and in- t0 a of faifit” *Many good peo- ple will te you,” he continued. “that this is an age when faith has decayved, when the human race has lost its be- lief‘ in the things which are most m“’;,hm ,j“s life here and here- aften, i 8 a wrong view. = We Bave lost faith in Some things, but the faiths we have gained are greater in number and importance and Inspir- ation .than the faiths we have lost.” Simiferly Rev. Dr. Holmes at Cor- nell dia m! “believe that idealism is on .the . wane;” he thinks the ‘“heart of “ the natfon is sound” Rev. Mr. Sutphen told the Rutgers graduating clasg that they had “been living in Eden, the garden of God,” and “are there mnow.” President Seelye of Smith found encouragement in the faot that college women “have proved themselves well fitted to become good wives and mothers”—N.
