COLONIAL THEATRE.
The Christian, Eight Reel Feature, for s4 Monday and Tuesday Only.

Without question, the most profound sensation of the year is the magnifl- cent dramatic feature film at the Colo nial Monday and Tuesday next This film fairly staggers one with it's sumptuousnesS and sublime motive, the story of which is so well known as not to need any description; suffice it to say that Edith, Storey, the Bernhardt of the screen, plays the unexplainahle Glory to perfection. Earl Williams, the dean of the screen. is seen in the strong role of John Storm, a part ex- actiy suited to him both physically and dramatically. This story of the re- denption of an actress is so intense that 1t is impossible to believe that it is a film drama, showing more than 500 scenes and 5000 people In the sup port oT the stars is the finest cast of Vitagraph players ever seen Seats on sale at the box office after 10 a. n. daily.

POPULAR LECTURES.

As has already been announced, the first two numbers of the Slater hall course of popular lectures VIII DC given by William Lyon Phelps, Lamp son professor of English literature ln Yale university. Professor Phelps unrivaIled ability to present literary subjects in thoroughly enjoyable manner is atteSted by the fact that his regular undergraduate course at Yale known as .TennysoD and Browning IS the most popular course in the unl- versity, and has been elected by over 300 members of the junior and senior classes alone in single year. But Professor Phelps extraordinary pop ularity as a lecturer is not confined to the Yale undergraduate body, for he is called upon to speak not only in all parts of Connecticut but also through out the entire country. Lectures have been delivered by him all through the west and south. and this year among his numerous engagements IS series of addresses at the University of Tex as. Norwich is singulariy fortunate in having the opportunity of hearing two addresses by a speaker of such emil hence.
 The subject of Professor Phelps first lecture, to be given on Oct. 13 at p. m in Slater hall, is The Novel of Today. On this subject he is par ticularly well qualified to speak, hav- HE puDiiSutO d OOOh, G-SS<1SS on HUI ern Noyelists. which appeared in Jan uary, 1910, the first edition of which was so rapidly exhausted that a second was issued in May. and a third in Oc- tober of the same year.
 The Present Conditions and Ten dencies of the Drama will be the title of the second lecture by Professor Phelps Here again his keen ability as a critic will appear to best advan- tage. The advance sale of course tick cts has been most gratifying, but many good seats may still be had. To insure getting a satisfactory reservation it would be well to purchase tickets i'm mediately at the store of George A. Davis.

 The environments in which the char acters of Way Down East live and move IS Of nature to cause many a country bred man and woman to go galfoping back through the years to the well remembered scenes of their child hood But Way Down East appeals to no limited class. but to all alike; it's quaint pictures of rural life, inoffen- sive country companionship and home " sentiment grips the affection of ev- cry man and woman without respect 10 class or creed. and if seems quite useless to speculate upon the day when The Familiar story will lose it's charm.
