good motion pictures which has yet come
10 light IS the decision Of the Rev. Dr..
Percy $. Grant. of the Church Of the As
cension, at Fifth ave. and 10th St, to
show films i'm the church itself The films
will be used in connection with plan
of Dr. Grants FOR furtherins the prac-
teal work OF the church. DR.. Grant Is
one Of those militant clersymen who be-
lieve that the church should be used for
something more than the holding Of Sun
day services. lie maintains, In common
with the clearest thinkers in religious
circles to-day. that a great church should
be regarded as a plant for doing good,
and that TO close the doors six days in
the week is an economic waste Accord
ingly he has mapped out plan for pro-
viding the poor and homeless OF his par
ish with different forms of high class
entertainment. as he believes that every
one needs such recreation and that
among the class he aims to reach it
is almost unknown.
The first entertainment will take place
on Thursday evening and will be held in
the main auditorium OF the church. Be-
sides lecture by Cleveland Moffett, there
will be four motion pictures They have
been selected from certain vitagraph
films with special consideration for the
ideals of the scheme The incidental
music will be played on the church organ.
Admission to this and 20 all later enter
tainments will be free by invitations,
which will be given out at various settle
ments. No discrimination will be made
and no UNCONVENTIONAL or conventional re-
ligious features will be allowed on any
programme As an example of broad
mindedness the scheme is remarkable,
and it will be watched with great inter-
est by clergYmen of all creeds

Five weeks ago we printed review OF
beautiful Danish motion picture entitled
sealed orders and expressed the hope
that New York would soon have chance
TO see the production. Although thers
has been q considerable amount Of delay.
this is at last to be accomplished, as the
picture commences run of week At
the New York Theatre to-day. II Broad
ways appreciation Of real art in Aims is
as keen as We believe, the run will prob
ably be longer
Sealed Orders" was made by a concern
known as the Dansk- Biograf AS TO the
persons directly responsible for the pict-
ure there seems TO be no information
available. Even the name OF the director
remains shrouded in mystery. but. who
ever he was. this country knows no one
like him, and u. w. Grinith seems to be
the only American producer who even
gives promise OF some day reaching the
heights attained by this anonymous Dane.
The great charm of the picture lies In
the beautiful settings and the eXtraordi-
nary Photographic work. Throughout the
whole six reels there is hardly a scene
which does not contain some novel effect
OF lighting or arrangement, or both. This
fine mechanical work is used 10 tell a
story. which. while a melodrams, is a
worthy one. and of more than usual in
terest. For sheer entertainment value
few pictures have ever been produced that
can approach Sealed Orders" Any one
who sees il will realize that not only in
France. but also in Denmark, do they
order these things better"
