and 7th Episode of “Patria”
An English fox hunt is shown in
“God's Law and Man’s," the Merto-
Columbia five-part feature screen ver-
the Regent Theatne on Monday, with
dainty Viola Dana as the star. This
part of the picture was taken in a
great hunting park belonging to a
’club of wealthy New Yorkers. A num-
tber of society men and women mount‘
,ed their hunters and followed the
bounds, joining the pllyers engaged
in making the picture, and some ex-
gcellent close views of magnificent
:leaps over high fences were obtained.
The fox hunt has an important'bear-

Thursday. This powerful photoplay
is an adaptation of the works of the
well-known author, the Rev. Charie‘s
M. Sheldon, and, when the last scene
has faded from the screen, one real-
izes that a tremendous lesson has
been taught, but during the course of
the picture itself, one thinks only of
the great drama which is being un-
folded upon the screen. it is a force-
fully enacted drama showing the
struggle of a minister who has won,
the admiratto of his wealthy congre-
gation by his lever sermons. At the
height of his popularity, he suddenly
realizes that his teachings are as
tinkling brass and sounding cymbals
for he is not living in accordance with
them. The costly struggle in which
he engages in the effort to bring suc-
cor to the poor of his parish and to
crush the ring of vice by which they
are being tilrottled makes one of the
most absorbing dramas that has ever
been placed on the screen. Robert
Conness and Mabel Trunnelle are the
featured members of the cast which
includes -Blgelow Cooper. Herbert
Prior, William Wadsworth and Frank
Lyons.

HARTFORD, May 21.——More than
400 telegrams have been sent to town
officials inthe stat-c by Governor Hol-
comb appointing registration boards
to register the names of males be-
tween 21 and 31 years of age on June
5, for the purpose of conscription by
selective draft. Only it very few were

t
tants. The notification by telegram
is in compliance with a federal rc-
l quircmcnt.
The governor and his executive soc.-
rctary, William M. Maltbic, were busy
today with preparation.» for registra-
tion. There was a meeting of the
governor’s county :thlsors this after-
lnoon to arrange details and these ten
men will go to the ten meetings held
in various twill-z in “in i'litlf‘ Wednes-
