derplay which will be shown here at
the Isis theatre on Friday and Satur-
day. In this production, Mr. Barry
more is seen in a dual role, that of a
prosperous young broker, who meets
with reverses, assumes the barg of a
highwayman for a time, and after
wards ships to sea as a stoker in a
yacht which he formerly owned. Miss
Valentine has part equally promin-
ent, and her winsome personality and
versatility, are presented to their full
advantage. The photodrama abounds
with intense and thrilling situations,
and there are many novel and inter-
esting scenes made aboard a big vessel
at sea. "Dorians Divorce" promises
to be one of the notable productions
of the season that will be remember
ed long after it is seen, and that will
play return engagements in many

JAPANESE GARDENS.
Their Aim is Always to Represent Ma
tuPe In Miniature

Every Japanese house OF any preten.
sions must have n garden. The cost
or one is invariably rcckoned with the
estimates for house building. being
usually estimated at one-tenth the cost
of the house. The Japan Magazine
tells of the procedure:
When the niwashi Landscape gar
dener) gets the contract for a garden
he first makes n model--that is. a min.
iature garden embodying every feature
that the final product will have. The
first thing to be done In laying out the
garden is to select the place for the
lake or pond and eXcavate It, The
earth thus obtained is utilized for the
construction Of an artificial hill and
also for small island. both Of these
FEATURES being considered necessities.
Next In Importance is the placing OF
the stone lantern; then comes an artis-
tic bridge to the island. Next comes
the placing of trees, rocks and stones
with due consideration for the appear
ance OF the garden as a whole.
Japanese do not place much value
on new garden. age being Of far
greater importance. 1t is not until q
rev years have passed that the garden
Is considered at its best, for the stones
and tree trunks must be moss covered
and the whole must give the appear
ance or natures rather than mans
work
The garden is not laid out according
to any scientific plan. 1t is rather a
matter Of instinct and experience, the
aim OF the artist being to represent
nature in miniature.
