Iland produced in five acts by the Columbia, Pictures Corporation for the Metro program. Miss Minter is supported by the popular juvenile leading man, Thomas J. Carrigan, who was featured with her. in 'sDimples," where, he. captured much favorable mention by reason of his satisfying work with the little star.
 The theme of Lovely Mary'' is built around a chapter in the life of winsome Mary Lane. last and 1oveliest scion of famous Dixie family. Her cousin, Clafb bourne OgiIvie Lane, man old enough to be her father and shiftless and intempArate in his habits, shares with her the title to the broad acres of the Lane property, most of which, however, are of little value because of their swampiness-
 Into Lovely Mary's'' life come two men, Wade Dempster, reckless character and land specuIator, and Roland Manning. agent for a North ern syndicate. Both seek .to> buy her land, the one honorably, the other for a tithe of it's real worth. Both know that when the land is drained it will be immensely va1ua b1e.
 Through Oscar Nelson, a weak character, who has been a childhood sweetheart of Mary and her dissi- pated cousin, Rempster seeks to rob her of her heritage. Thereafter, many things happen, for Manning, boths because he is an honest man and be- cause of the love which Mary has awakened in his heart, succeeds in thwarting the pIotters, even at the cost of deadly disgrace and prison sentence.
 How Dempster's evil plans are de- feated, even though he fixes the crime of which he is guilty upon his rival, through Mary's steadfast faith and how the two lovers at last find their happiness forms a story, as romantic and gripping in it's picturespeness, as it is thrilling and satisfying,
 MT. and Mrs. Sidney Drew will be seen in their latest screamiest screen comedy, Their Quiet Honeymoon; also the Russian 3melo-dramatic TO- nance, Brother Against Brother" and several other big feature pie lures. Bentley's complete orchestra with several added so1oists will fur nish the music as usual.

 TO RETAIN POST
 WITH DEMOCRATS
State Chairman Denies That Fe Will Resign Plan to
 Raise Funds.

Hartford, Dec 28-In explaining the object of the meeting of the Dem ocratic state central committeesall this city today, Chairman David B. Fitz- gerald said it had become the cus- tom of the committee to meet the lat ter part of December every year. He alphabetically denied that there was to be a change in the executive off1- cers of the committee.
 The meeting was called to order shortly after 1:3O by Chairman Fitz- gerald, who presided. The matter of making a contribution to the funds of the Democratic national commit tee, was taken up. The national cOm- mittee had asked the Democratic or ganization of the state for at least 1000 to assist in meeting, the finan- .cial obligations of the party contain ed in the last national campaign. s It was decided to leave the matter with the representatives of the senatorial districts on the committee to collect assessments. @
 Each comitteeman will be asked to collect from the organizations in the LOWnS III HIS UlSII1CI OI IIlS OASIi ICt where it forms part of town. The assessment in the districts: will be equal. It is possible that the amount realized will exceed $5,000, and that s10,0OO will be contributed.
 Chairman Fitzgerald referred to the necessity of bringing the local or. ganizations into closer touch with the state central committee for the purpose of securing more effective work at the elections. Some of the committeeman were of the opinion that H roight be desirable to create the position of state organN2r who would devote all his time fN the work of organization.
 It was agreed that the state com n,itteemen should meet frequently with town committees and discuss the political situation in their dis- tricts. It was also decided to have more. frequent meetings of the state central committee. It was urged that in every town in the state where the population warranted it, clubs should be organized.
