BREED THEATRE,

Capacity houses at all performances yesterday greeted William Farnum and Kathlyn Williams in The Spoilers, Seltg's virile masterpiece in nine thrill ing acts, which is the feature at the Breed for today. This wonderful story is taken from the famous book by Rex Beach and is produced on 9 magnifi- cent scale, no expense being spared to attain the real atmosphere of the play. In the picture a whole town is blown to atoms, and an extraordinary volcanic arthqual1e is presented To- day is the last chance to see the ex- CeptiOnal!y fine picture and if you are 8 lover of the best in motion pictures don't fail to see The Spoilers Matinee at 2.15 and evening at 6.45 and S45. with augmented orchestra in a special programme at the evening perform ance.
 On Friday and Saturday the Breed will present The Devil at His Elbow, strong and gripping Metro wonder play in which Clifford Bruce and Doro- thy Green are starred. In this feature Mir. Bruce has the role of a mechanical engineer who has a contract with the government to complete plans for a new type of submarine. He fails, when he indulges in heavy drink, in order to get out his plans on time. MISS Green plays the part of a girl of the street. How both are instrumental Tn reclaiming the other, and the ur- usual twist in rhe finale, makes one of the most dramatic stories of it's kind ever shown on the screen. There is a strong supporting cast, which includes Edward Martindel, Mary Sandway. J. x. Roberts Adolph Meniou. Frank Me Donald and others. Burton King di- rected the production of The Devil at His Elbow and Harry Reyier super- vised it's direction.

DAVIS THEATRE.
New Show Today-Three Big Keith Acts and Triangle Feature Photo plays.

For the last half of this week an exceptionally fine show has been booked to appear at this theatre. Both vau- deville and photoplays are away ahead of anything ever seen here. The lea ture attraction is the Telegraph Trio, three young men who present a com edy singing speciality that is full of ginger, and they harmonize beautiful Iy. Another big headliner is Queenie Dunedin, the variety girl, who comes here direct from Keiths theatre, Provt- dence, where she was the hit of the show. She has an act that is seldom seen outside of the big cities and is sure to be a big hit with the patrons of the Davis. The third act is Middle ton and Spellneyer, presenting their This is an act that will please every one They are both artists and have something different from anything ever seen here.
 The Triangle feature on this bill is called The Pillars of Society, starring Henry Walthai!, the star of The Birth of a Nation.
 As a piece of reading this play might be hard work for a good many. As a picture play it reveals with extraordi- nary clearness just what Ibsen was driving at and how essentially simple and direct was the message he sought with his strange art to drive home. Here at last is the real Ibsen, plain to all.
 Not many modern stage plays have stood the test of photo -dramatization as has this one. The screen has punc- tured large holes in many a dramatic idol. but this powerful story of the fate of men who build high places fol themselves in their community on a lie grows in strength and directness as it proceeds I. is not f1ashy or catchy, but it is tremendously human and it slowly builds to a quick series of ter rife climaxeS.
 Done in what might almost be called the classic technique of the photoplay, it is in every respect the different" picture, and a most stimulating reveIa- ton of the material still untouched by he makers of film classics
 To complete the show there Is a funny two reel Keystone comedy call ad Vampire Ambrose and Mack Swain is the principal funnaker. Matinee at 215, all seats 10c. Evening G.45 and S.45, 10c. 15a and 20 c. Vaudeville and feature picture is shown at both per fOrmances in the evening.

The Settlement of Connecticut.

Dear Uncle Jed:-I thought I would write a letter about the History of Connecticut. The Connecticut River was explored by Dutchmen from New York and in 1883. a party of traders made a settlement at Hartford. h. dians owned the land and had their villages where some of our large towns and cities now stand.
 Settlements were made at Wethers- field, Hartford and Windsor by com panies from Massachusetts in 1894 and 1856.
 New Haven was settled in 1858 by company of Puritans from England.
 King Charles II gave the colonista a charter allowing the people to elect their own governor and representa- tives SaybTook had been united and New Haven vas now joined to Con- necticut.
 When James II. came to the throne he determined to take away the char ters of Connecticut and Rhode Island, as his brother, Charles II had done in the case of Massachusetts. l' Tra
 His object was to bring them di- rectly under his despotic control Sir Edmund AHdros was made governor of New England, and demanded the surrender of the Connecticut charter
 In 1887 he went with a body of troops ito Hartford to get it. The Connecticut people looked upon that document as the title-deed of their liberties, and were resolved never to give it mp.
 Andros met the legislature, and discussed the matter until evening. At his order, the precious charter was at last brought in, in a box, and placed on the table. Then, accord ing to tradition, the candles were sud denly blown out, and when they were lighted the charter had disappeared
 It is said to have been hidden in a hollow oak not far off, which was ever after known as the Charter Oak.
 Andros, however declared that the colony should no longer be governed under the charter, and, to show that the end had come, he ordered the clerk to write 'fF7inis'' at the close of the record meeting.
 When the people of Boston compelled Andros to give pthe power he had abused, the charter was produced, and Connecticut maintained her gov ernment under it. not only until the Revolution, but for many years after wards (1S1S).

The Wide-Awake Circle
(continued from Page Nine)

Spain was to discover and take all lands west of it and Potugal to take lands east of that line. Pinzon, a Spanish explorer, dlscov- cred the Brazilian coast in February, 150O. This discovery would have won for Spain. but as the maritime ports were east of the line Portugal had the absolute rights, but no settlement was made until 1532.
 Cabral saw the Brazilian coast two months after Pinzon. He was Portu- guese.
 Notwithstanding the rights of Por- tuga1, France and Holland tried to gain foothoId there. The Portuguese settled Bahia in 1549, which remained the capital of Brazil until 1762.
 In 1855 the French held Rio De Ja- niero, but were driven out in 1560. Maranhao was settled by the French in 1912 and held it two years.
 The Dutch took Pernambuco in 1881 and held it till 1854. They had held Bahia one year 1624). After 1855 the Portuguese held all of Brazil till 1929.
 In the eighteenth century there were remarkable developments in the coun- try. Cities had sprung up fast, sugar and coffee were exported and mines of gold, diamonds and silver were worked.
 In 1908 Dom John fled to Brazil and in a few years his son. Dom Pedro I. took the Brazilian crown and was the monarch.
 Dom Pedro I declared Brazil inde- pendent on the 7th of September, 1922. Portugal did not hinder Brazilian in dependence.
 Unfortunately for Brazil there were wars and turmoils for the next half century, then prosperity set in.
 In 1871 over 100000 slaves were freed; and in 1888 slavery was entirely abolished by the Brazilian parliament.
 In 1889 an outbreak occurred and the empire was overthrown. A repub- lie was formed under General Fon- seca as president, and a constitution modelled after that of the United States of America.
 Thus Brazil has prospered, and in 1900 it had over 17,000, 900 inhabitants, with an army of 3S,000; a navy of four battleships of small size, two protect ed cruisers; two battleships of 2S,000 tons; two more of 13.000 tons and other ships being built. It is the chief country of South America.

WAISTS FOR EARLY SPRING

Among new waists are seen many
button-in-back styles in georgette
crepes. AS a rule, the front of such
a waist is much trimmed and the col
lar is high Attractive ones are
trimmed with metal or silk embroidery
or outlined in handwork The upper
portion of the waist in yoke effect is
usually trimmed in this way, as we'll
as the bottom Of the sleeve. Some
times slit is made in the front of the
waist or on either side in pocket eff
feet, which is ornamented with metal
or silk embroidery with frill of lace
falling in cascade effect from the cen
ter.
Collars on these waists are novel.
One Of the newest follows the line Of
the chin to the edge and is made con-
siderably lower in the back in ordinary
high collar height. Other high col
lars flare from the neck, while still
others are in turnover style with a
slight opening in the front.
The majority of waists are in semi
blouse designs opening in front, es-
pecially those of lingerie, crepe de
chine, silk and georgette crepe. The
latter material in white, pastel shades
