BREED THEATRE.
Emily Stevens in Novel Photo Play "The Wheel of The Law," Feature For Today and Tuesday.


 Emily Stevens, Americas foremost emotional actress who has been star red for two seasons in "The Unchast- ened Woman" one of the most suc- cessful recent plays on Broadway, will be seen on the screen at the Breed theatre today and tomorrow in '"The Wheel of the Law" a sensational five part Metro wonderplay. This prom ises to be one of the highest class fea- lures of the season and Miss, Stevens Is supported by a notable cast head ed by Frank Mills. the we'll known dramatic actor.
 The story of 'The Wheel of the Law is a powerful document of hu- man life, written by Katherine Kav anaugh. It deals with the fallibility of circumstantial evidence and the danger of depending upon it solely in obtaining a conviction. Many phases of life are depicted in this feature. There is a touch of politics. the life behind the scenes of a Broadway star. together with her home life. A novel, ty is the introduction of a scene from La Tosca." Another interesting fea- trre is a scene laid in chemical lab oratory, showing the arsenic test for the purpose of discovering the pres ence of the drug in the body of a pois- on victim. Among the big scenes is the reproduction of the Criminal Court in New York, where the trials of Harry Thaw. 5Lieutenant Charles Becker and others of almost equal mo- toriety were conducted. Then there is an elaborate church setting, which is said to be one of the most realistic and pretentious ever staged in studio.
 The Breed will also present the Pathe Weekly and very funny com edy entitled "Henry's Thanksgiving"
 On Thursday night of this week the Breed will present the National Bank. This is decidedly novelty as real money is given away There will be fifty cash. prizes ss.s 7-@

WHERE ARE MY cHILDREN?r
At Davis Theatre Monday, Tuesday
 and Wednesday,.

The tremendous attendances where ever that photo play Where Are My Children? ?" is being performed is re- peated week after week in New York. Boston and Chicago. Where Are My Children?' is picture that can and should be seen by all adults. The les sons that are taught come home to every man and woman. This wonder full photo play will be seen at the Davis theatre the first half of the this week. The big lesson, most inn pressively taught is that it is worse than folly to trihe with the laws of nature. To one character in the play such trif1ing means death: to two oth- CTS on account of the guilt of one of them. it means a childless, unhappy old age. Although tho story is pie tured with the utmost frankness there is nothing to give offence. The four performances are given at 2 3.30 and ' and S30 D. m.
 That the lesson taught by this won derful film is a much needed one is shown in the most prominently dis played of the local news of the day. It teaches that mothers should not permit their daughters 10 grow up in ignorance of sex hygiene and shows the result of negleCting to give such instruction.
 And it has lesson for the gay but terfiy of society who avoids the re- sDonsibilities of motherhood in order that her social gaieties will not be interferred with. When old age ar ly of interfering with nature is felt bitterly.

SUCCESSFUL OPENING DAY.
New Fifty Cent Store of the w. L. Tya. Tor Go. Crowded All Saturday Aft. ernoon and Evening-Business Ex- ceIient.

The big new store of the W. L. Tay- Tor Co.,. in the Thayer building, Nor wich, opened with a boom at one o'clock Saturday. From that time un- til closing hour each department of the store was crowded.
 W. l.. Taylor, head of the firm, came on specially from New Haven to direct affairs on the opening day and was highly gratified with the evidence of appreciation which Norwich and its neighbors showed of the popular Fff- ty Cent store.
 General Manager Charles J. Dillon and Local Manager John F. Leary helped to keep business running smoothly on the first day.
 The store was handsomely decorated with palms. ferns and begonias and a big basket of decorative dahlias adorned the ladies' waiting room. Tn the music department the player-pi- ano kept the store gay with a pro- gramme of popular melodies. Through out all departments of the store trade was excellent and many customers congratulated the owners and man. agers, at the same time expressing the hope that business might grow and thrive in the splendid building which Judge John M. Thayer has erected as an ornament to the city and in stores the use of which he has so generous ly donated over. and over again for
 
 poses.
 Johr F. Leary, the manager of the Norwich Taylor Store, comes from Fall River Mass, and a leading paper of that city, referring to his departure for Connecticut had the following pleasant notice:
 John F. Leary resigned with the Steiger store Saturday night to begin his duties today as manager of the w. T. Taylor Fifty Cent store in Nor wich, Conn. For 12 years Mir Leary was connNcted with the Troy store as advertising man and general buyer and recently accepted similar posi- tion at Steigners. At the former store he was associated with Mir. Tay- Tor who since leaving this city, has es- tablished two very successful. fifty cent department stores. MT Leary has been very successful in his bus mess connections in this city and has made a wide circle of friends who will heartily wish him the best of luck in his new venture.
