Robipson was' appointed to this office the probate court of this district had celebrated its hundredth anniversary.| Judge of Probate Otto B. Robinson recently completed 'a most useful pamphlet containing a great deal of information regarding the jurisdiction of this office, and copies recently | were placed in the Willimantic Public Library, the Dunham library at the American ‘Thread Company plant, the Windham Free Public library and the Sootland Public library.’ Other copies jcan be obtained by personal or writ- ten application at the probate office in the town building. . A part of the booklet is devoted to a treatise on general jurisdiction as applied to courts of probate. Follow- In January, 1698, it was provided, that in each county at least four of the most able and judicious freemen saould be appointed justices of the peace, three of whom, with a judge ap- pointed by the General Assembly, should have power to hold the county | courta Shortly” afterward, three jus- | tices were empowered, in the absence of the judge, to hold the court. (3 Col. Rec., 815.) To this court was com- mittied exclusively the superintend- ence of .the persons and estates of idiots and lunatics. ~ (Act of ®May, i699.) 1 each county a distinct forum was established, consisting of the! judge of the county court. and two justices, or three justices without the judge, for 'the probate of wills,, the granting of administration, and| the appointing of guardians, with full power to act on all matters prop- er form a prerogative court. This was the origin of our courts of probate. (Act of October, 1698, 3 Col. Rec. 815.) I May 1716- it was provided that probate courts should be held| for toe year ensuing by one judge and a clerk. In May 1720 it was: limited to two years a;nd in Octob-' er, 1722, it was, revived ad made perpetual. The first probate dis- trict less than a county was estab- lished in October, 1719. (5 Col.

This arrangement re- lieved the inhabitants of north eastern Connecticut of part of their grievances as to the hardship of long' travel to the court-houses in Hartford and New London. Probate courts have - gince that time been established in seven of the towns above mentioned. Windham | and Scotland alone remaining. At that early date Scotland. was a part of the town of Windham, having been made a separate township in May 1857. Plainfield was the first to 'sep- arate from the mother court by act of the May session of the legislature lin 1747. Pomfret was the next to go in May, 1752 and the towns of Ash- | {ford and Killingly were given sep- | arate probate jurisdiction on fhei same date, June 4, 1830 The others to be separated in’turn were Leba- non on June : 2, 1826,' Canterbury (from Plainfield) on May 27, 1835, and i Covetnry on June 19, 1849, from Heb- ron, a sub-division of the courts of Windham, Bast Haddam and .

When a lovely girl struggled in the arms of the “beast” everyone shud- dered at the fate that might be hers— because this incident stood out with such tremendous force on the screen | in The Beast, a Willlam Fox produc- | tion with George Walsh in the title role, that opened at the Breed thea- tre yesterday. Rugged western, life, echoes of high English society, ad- ventures galore, and the refinement lof a New York society beauty, are { blended with rare charm in this re- markable story. “The “beast” fights for possession of a woman to destroy her soul. Then to save kher life, he struggles with death against the rag- ing waters of a western river. At last he is tamed by somethingwgreater than mere desire, and becomes a real man at the feet of the girl of his dreams. It is an unusual picture, gripping in plot and theme, showing the star at his best. “The Beast” will be the feature attraction again today and other pictures on the bill include Harry Morey in The Darkest Hour, a powerful drama of the North woods, and Prizma and a Snub Pol- larg comedy.

De Mfle's latest triumph, Male and Female, the great pheto- play of which so much has been heard of late, comes to the Daviz theatre for four days beginning Sun- day night, March 28th. This lavish production is a screen version of Sir James M. Barrie's famous play, The Admirable Crichton. In the hands of the talented De Mille, the story has been greatly enlarged and expanded in screen. form, however the whimsi- cal Barrie theme is carried through- out. As all lovers of Barrie xnow, the story tells of the reversal of the social order—the butler in the titled English family who becomes practic- ally a king when the party of lords and ladies is wrecked on a little South, Sea Island. It is said to be the most lavish pre- duction ever turned out by De Milie for Paramount-Artcraft. It abeunds in thrils and the costuming and set- tings are gorgeous. The cast is prac- tically all-star and includes such well known players as Thomas Meighan, Gloria "Swanson, Theodore Roberts, Lila Lee, Raymond Hatton, Bebe Daniels, Robert Cain, Wesley Barry, Guy Oliver, Mildred Reardon and oth- ‘ers. Male and Female comes hers from an extended run in New York and Beston. There will be no advance in- prices and three complete shows will be given week days. Reserved seats can be secured for any per- formance, including Sunday evening. Don't forget. No advance in prices. Davis Theatre Today. Mystery is a theme that has oftex been woefully mishandled by the mo- vie-makers. Following the so-called “thrilling mystery-serials” through their score or so of episodes is a se- vere strain on credulence, eyes, and sense of humor. His Wife’s kriend, the picture at the Davis theatre to- day, is a mystery picture of a delight- fully different stamp. In the first place, it was produced by Thomas H. Ince with Dorothy Dalton as the star. Mr. Ince’s abili- ties as a producer are too well known to mention here, and Miss Dalton has shown . in recent pictures that she be- longs to the front rank of emotional actresses of the screen. She is hap- pily cast in her latest film venture. Aside from her shrewd sense of dra- matic values, there is something about the physique and manner of Miss Dilton that fits her to play the womanly, capable type of hervine: The, second big feature on this programme is dainty Mary Miles Minter in her latest offering entitied ‘Wise and Otherwise, a delightful five- part comedy that just suits this lit- tle star to perfection. My Dog Pal, a two-part comedy, completes the Complete change of programme to- morrow, and the two features are The Thirteenth = Cominandmant, an Art- craft .picture starring Ethel Claylen, and Petticoats and Politics, a five- part- western plcture starring Anita King, .the Outdoor Girl.
