E. H. SOTHERN AT
 LYCEUM SUNDAY

"The Chattel," a five part Nitagraph photoplay with F. H. Sothern in the' leading role, is the ten strike an- nounced today by Manager T. ]. Lynch of theaRusswin Lyceum for his playhouse Sunday evening.
 Sothern has quit the stage forever under advice of his physician and greater interest has been aroused in his work on this account. 1t was con- sidered fortunate that his art should be perpetuated through the mediuma of motion pictures.
 MT. Sothern made his screen debut in Tine Chattel," supported by the popular English actress, Peggy Fly land. It is a gripping, tense drama in which only @ Sothern could por- tray the character successfully. It's success in New York was instantane- ous and it was acclaimed as the tri- umph of the film in so far as dramatic effort fs concerned.

GREAT SPECTACLE
 AT PARSONS THEATER

1 Klaw & Erlanger's massively ornate spectacle "Ben-Hur" is the important announcement for one weeks engage ment at Parsons theater Hartford, Monday, January 15. William Young, who made the dramatization of Gen. Lew Wallace's great novel, has suc- ceeded in the production of a drama which not only retains absolute f1del- ity to the book.but which does not of fend the most devout Christian. Prof. Edgar Stillman Kelley has heightened the solemnity of "Ben-Hur" with mu- sic that is a positive delight to the ear. The stage settings provided by Klaw &s Erlanger have never been equalled in this country. The pie lures of the Star of Bethlehem, the City of Jerusalem from the terrace garden of the Palace of Hur, the in- terior of a Roman galley, the Grove of Daphne, the Fountain Of Castalia, the chariot race, the Vale of Hi--)on and the Mount of Olives, are remark able exhibits of the best scenic art To these are added some wonderful effects in lighting, as in the Star of Bethlehem, and in stage mechanics, as in the famous chariot race. The contrivance used to make the chariot race cost no less than 15,OOo. Eight horses race in full view of the audi ence. Each animal runs on q separ- ate treadmill, and the effect of Ben- Hur's quartet of horses winning is produced by electric power concealed beneath the stage. An immense eye lorama representing the interior of the arena with its multitude of paint ed people is whirled across the stage in the opposite direction from that which the horses are headed, greatly in crcasing the illusion, as the audience is apparently going with the racers. This is not only a spectacular but a dramatic success as well.
 The great scene which closes the play is tho healing of the lepers on Mount Olives. Here hundreds of peo- pie are arranged in picturesque groups the whole forming one of the most beautiful pictures which has ever been put on the stage. The personal ity of the Nazarene is not shown in the play, but in this scene the near ness of His presence is indicated with intense impressiveness by a. shaft of the purest white light. The dramati- zation Is thoughtfully constructed so as to remove it from the domain of the so-called Passion plays. and while the Saviour is only referred to, yet His tremendous dominating power is felt with thrilling effect.
 "Ben-Hur' will remain at Parsons theater for one week only. The man. agement will fill orGers for seats for any of the performances, if accom-

Mules Are Now Harmless as Monograph which Has Been Wrecked

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN THE FIELD, July 12.-Uncle Sam rendered France a great service in letting her have his mules-at a very good price-but France has re turned the service a thousand times by solving the secret of a brayless mule. When the American pack mule arrived in France to do his bit' he. of course, brought his bray with him. The mule was welcome, but the bray-well, an unusual sound on battlefield is undesirable. It might tip off the Boche to surprise at tack. In an effort to put an end to the nightly love song" of the pack mule the French military officers de- cided to separate the sexes, and all gentlemen mules were retained for service in one sector while all of the lady mules were taken off for service in a more distant region.
 This produced very marked results. Nevertheless there still remained cer- tain mules who either from force of habit or from conviction that both their love and their voices were strong, that they lady loves would hear them no matter how far away they might be. persisted in making the welkin ring with gigantic bray just at the place and time when it would give the "Boches" the right

 Speech Improvements
 Walter B. Swift, graduate School of Medicine, Boston, said:
 Americas model for speech de. partment has grown out Of the orig inal mistakes and bad beginnings of those who first instituted such de. Iartments. The great lessons that this experience has taught consisted in teaching us that there should be three individuals to manage this de partment. superintendent, teachers and doctor. No department can be successful where either one of these is omitted. Each of these in dividuals has separate duties and should have separate training. The most important think for the su- perintendent to do is to know where teachers should be sent for the study that fs necessary; the most important thing for the teachers to do is to still be grade teachers. have their salary raised, keep the pupils in the grades and do speech work in the afternoons. The most important think for the doctor is to examine, diagnose and advise and thus to elim mate the physical hindrances out of the teachers work. The experience of establishing many speech depart. ments has resulted in these final ideals of America's model. superin tendent. teachers and doctors doing team work and avoiding the disad vantages of the old methods.
 Ideas From the War
 William T. Foster, President O. Reed College on the subject of "The University as the Conservator of Ma tional Ideals" said:
 The war thusts upon the Nation the need of furnishing ideals as well as armaments. Amies and navies and aeroplanes alone cannot make the world safe for democracy. AS democracy Is body of ideals, its last citadel of refuge from the enemy must be an institution dedicated to the conservation of ideals. Such an institution is the university.
 Thousands of the noblest young men of America are now on their way from the universities to the front trenches to fight for ideals. Some of them will never return. That will be . loss beyond the power of imagination; but it will be a greater tragedy if. while they are dying at the front. we. why stay behind fail to do our part In making the world safe for democracy"
