10 cents, with a few seats reserved at 90 cents, and in the evening at z and s.45. with the usual admission of 70 cents and 20 cents prevailing. Fol- lowing Is what the New York Suns dramatic critic said of the Hypocrites:
 'The clever producers, the Bos- worths, with Lois Weber. one of the most artistic of American ph0eoplay origfnators, as director, have really added another mystical cloaking for the near classic form of Miss Ed wards, In most of her scenes she passes an illusory figure only partly defined. This is accomplished by double exposure, fully half of the play employing this troublesome method. Lois Weber has overcome An Of Its difficulties and has achieved @ perfec- ton of artistic result that has not been surpassed. Her picture in blue tint of a broad sun blazoned river alive with silver rippies and seen rom the height of towering pine-ciad bank has not been surpassed by eitner salon painter or photoplay producer:
 'sThe point is conceded. And as the play really is a beautifully illustrated lesson in straight living. there may be force in 1t. Miss Weber has enected in it a new revelation of the artistic possibilities of the photopiay and that and her courage must both meet com- mendation."
 There will be special singing and music at every show, and also other reels will be shown.

AT THE FAIR GROUNDS.

The best motorcycle and horse races ever held in New London county will take place Monday afternoon at the Norwich fair grounds. East Great is sure that the two trottfng races and the half mile running race, total purses $550, will get out at least twice the crowd that witnessed the Memorial day races this year, for from New London, Windham, Middlesex and Tol- land come a considerable proportion of the entries for the 2.20 and the 2.30 classes and the running race. The stables on the ground are full, and some of the best stepperS in southern New England have been making fast time in practice on the track this week.
 With the purses they offered, the management had no trouble in getting the entries for the motorcycle races, and Manager Pendleton and R. c. Plaut of the Connecticut Amusement association have been busy men this week taking in entries, and seeing that the work on the track has been pushed to the limit.
 The sidecar motorcycle race has been changed to a four-cornered pur- suit race, as was contemplated. and there surely will be some fun and ex- citement, as this is a novelty and has never been introduced at Norwich. Tie riders are stationed at equal dis tances around the track, and as fast as one man overtakes another the loser is forced to withdraw. The en- tries for this race are Burdick, Brown, Latham and Pendleton.
 The running race is as popular this year as 1t was last Fourth of July, and entries have been received from all points for this race-Norwich, New London. Westerly and Preston City. There will be at least five entrants for + ,I.-, se, INk I1rY& what several more will see it to enter.
 For the motorcycle races there will be the four local men, Burdick, La than1, Baldwin and Chappell, and the management has received the entries of Freddy Nixon. Costello, Brown of St. Louis, B. Petrillo of Pittston, Pa, H. B. Henrickson Of Providence, and several other topnotchers, all men with @ record for speed, and the open races will see some swift going for a cer- tainty.
 The 2.2o and 2.so classes for the are attracting attention a long ways from home, and delegations from Will hmantic, Putnam and Danielson, Westerly, New London and all this vicinity are expected. The winners will get $s50 in all. and that Is enough money to get out the best Before the races there will be a concert by Tubbs' band, which win also play in front of the wauregan house before going out to the track. The band will also play between the races.
 The judges are A. D. Lathrop, Charles D. Greenman and Lyman A. Chapman of Poquonnock, and the | starter for the horses will be W, w, Beckwith. who has of6ciated at the
 county fairs and the previous meets | of the Connecticut Amusement asso-
 ciation with his big megaphone.
