the short time, which, under the pres

managers rely upon the rapidity with
which they can empty and refill their

half an hour In this time from three
to five films are shown. averaging about
seven or eight minutes each. "Othello"

but, through growing understanding of
the depths that can be sounded by the
pantomimist, even the spirit of the
great bard may yet be injected into
this new form of translation.
To one familiar with the lines of the
plays-and of course the moving pic
ture does not attempt in these trans
lations to make the plays absolutely
clear unless one is familiar with the
nnes-certain situations impress one
as particularly apt for pantomimic rem
dition. One such situation presents
itself in the second scene of the second
act In Romeo and Juliet" where
Romeo makes the observation, as he
stands in the shadows beneath Juliet's
window, as yet unseen and unsuspected

Montagues to the night and the moon:

of such scenes as this the moving pic

depends only upon the measure of abil-

they may discourse with the eye.

The storms of human emotion-its

and the whole brood of passions-are
readily portrayed. The real language
of the elemental manifestations of
character is, after all, not a matter of
words. but of gestures, a barring of
teeth and a flash of the eye. "Othello,"
when the hidden meaning of lagos
words had wrought him to a frenzy of
jealousy and doubt regarding his wife,
utters the keynote of the animated pic
ture's endeavor to tell story even
powerfully, without the accompaniment
of sound impression.

medicine of Iago is administered in

tortures, veritable fit of jealousy, and
that leads him subsequently to kill his

he broods upon day and night And
these pictures are the peculiar realm
of the cinematograph. The presenta-
ton of these pictures, the medicine
Iago administered, and the silent grief
of Othello which the film SO pitiably
reveals, serve to shake the audience of
this play as powerfully as might the
wild words of the stricken man. The
spoken word is often tedious middle
man in the conveyance of emotion; the
cinematograph is teaching humanity
that the middleman may. to great de-
gree, be dispensed with.

Back to the Old Faith.

There was buried in West Stock
bridge, Mass, on February %, man
who had once been an honored priest
of the church, but who apostatized and
afterward married. His wife was a
Protestant. The man was Joseph
Fitzgerald. Of Little Rock, Ark. Since
leaving the church he had become an
unbeliever but when the twilight of
his days approached his thoughts turn

he sought comfort in the church which,
he had forsaken. He professed repent

church, and died breathing profound
regret for his long years of separation
from the faith of his fathers.
The deceased, says the Catholic CO.
lumbar, was at one time pastor Of a
church in New York state. The older
residents of Columbus remember him
as a guest Of his brother, the Rev. Ed :
ward Fitzgerald then pastor Of St
Patrick's Church. On the death of Bis

the bulk of his estate. acquired when
land was cheap in Arkansas, was left
to the Church. One sister, Helena
Fitzgerald, who was a Good Shepherd
nun, died many years ago and is
buried in Cleveland. Thus it is DEM

far the child of the Church may wan

to the faith Of his better days.

Secretary Birrell this week intro
duced in the House of Commons a bill
to provide for two new universities in
Ireland. with headquarters in Dublin
and Belfast. The existing Queens
College at Belfast is to be the basis Of
the new Northern university. which
probably will be called the University
OF Belfast. while the university at Dub
lin is to include the schools now exist
ing in Cork and Galway, and will be
called ST. Patrick's University or the
University OF Ireland It will not in
any way interfere with Trinity COL
ieBc. The new universities are to be
governed by senates. to be elected by
the colleges. No religious test Is to be
applied to professors, students. or
graduates. and no public money is to
bc spent in theological or religious
teaching, but the head Of the new
Dublin University is to be a Roman
Catholic layman. Mr.. Birrell was for
tunate in having both the approval of
the Conservative leader. Balfour, and
the Irish leader, John Dillon.

mounting the staircase he paused in
the lobby for moment, remarking that
he felt somewhat weak. He had only
taken his seat in the hall when he was
seized with a spasn, and collapsed in
his chair. 1t was seen that his condi-
ton was very serious. and the concert
was brought to a termination, while
the prelate was removed to an ante

Right Rev. DIR. Henry was born in
the parish of Loughgiel, near Bally-
money, County Antrim, on May %,
1S47. He received his first collegiate
education at st. Malachy's College,
Belfast, and thence, in September. 1866,
he proceeded to Maynooth. At Pente-
cost, 1870, he was ordained to the
priesthood. In the same year he was
appointed to a chair in ST. Malachy's
College. and six years later he became
president of that institution, in sue
cession to DR.. Mariner. His presidency
was most successful, and when, in 1895.
the B;shopric of the united diocese of
Down and Connor became vacant, it
was felt that his appointment to the
see was a fitting reward for the great
services which he had rendered to the
church and a well-merited tribute to
the culture and administrative ability
which he had displayed in the dis
charge OF his important duties at St.
Malachy's. He was consecrated Bishop
on September %. 1895. The Bishop
took a great interest in the social
affairs of Belfast, and identified him.

made and convictions promptly fol-
low. That is what should be done in
this country. The law is explicit enough
to permit punishment Of those who adj
wise or urge the commission of crime
but 10 prevent public meeting or to
prevent one from speaking at public
meeting Is not only without justifca-

South has not prevented the commits
sion Ut certain crimes. Violence of law
in prohibiting the right Of assembly
and fee speech will not allay discon-
tent but promote it. Force is feeble
argument in dealing with discomfort.
1t cannot check the spread of ideas.
People will say, must we wait until
crime is committed before inflicting
punishment? Certainly, no reasonable
person advocates the punishment of
persons not guilty OF crime. But when
that question is asked in connection
with anarchy, it involves the question
OF whether or not we must wait until
actual crimes OF violence are commit
ted. it is a crima to advise or incite
crime. We have been weak in this
country because we fail to punish the
people guilty of that kind Of crime.
There is tendency right now, on the
part Of police officers and others,
charged with the administration of the
law. to violate the law itself in pre-
venting 7eaceable assembly and free
speech. In view Of the recent attacks
i'll different parts of the country, there

police will be used in many cases where

results.
