Seemingly, the whole attention of
moving picture producers has been
wrapped in the great effect.
The dramatic, the moral, the equally
picture making has been left to grow
as it will, without a chaperone or
guardian Technically, the moving
picture art is all right. otherwise, it
is not quite up to standard.
And this, by a roundabout way Of
searching for cause, may be why the
moving picture business is not on d
paying basis, that is, from the pro-
ducer's end. There is entirely too
much money spent for screen artists
who are hired to depict scenes that IN
no way are commensurate with their
endeavors No special picture need be
named to prove the truth of this as
sertion. There Is rarely bill ad-
vertised at one Of the local theaters
that will not serve as q dreadful
example, The pictures Of the out
door country, the vast expanses OF the
beautiful and gorgeous West are just
as satisfying to the eye as are the
contortions of some star noted for
her ability to depict the emotions of
! the siren. The signs of relief heard
in any motion picture emporium after
long drawn out struggle between a
heroine and her would-be seducer wax
into esctatic expressions of joy the
moment rolling hills and luxuriant
greenswards take the place of such
sordidness.
AS to paying these high salaries for
something that the public taste does
not crave. this is where the moving
picture producers seem to be throwing
money away. Good wholesome
scenes, clean inviting plays are lying
around begging production. Authors
of fame, who during their lifetime
strove and worked for less than a
movie STAR gets for a weekly stipend,
have left works that lend themselves
admirably for screen production.
Some of these novels and stories have
been "picturized.' In the majority
of cases they have been butchered
and distorted past recognition. The
main plot of the story might be fol-
lowed to some extent, but there has
always been few odd characters
thrown in for good measure, or taken
out to suit the picture producer, and
when this has happened the salacious
and lascivious have come, in for their
own. The moving picture business not
a paying proposition? When man
ayers learn to differentiate between
the good and the bad and cut down
the over-production of pictures that
demand high salaried men and women
to portray suggestive scenes there |
might be a change in their financial |
affairs.

be guilty of a misdemeanor, and the
license of his theater shall be sus-
pended or revoked.
Police and Fire Boards.
The committee recommends the
separation Of the safety board, so az
to provide for two distinct boards,
police and fire boards. Two years ago
a similar change was recommended
but was defeated by subterranean
methods in Hartford. Assurance is
given this time that there will be no
such opposition. Each Of the new
boards is to be bipartisan composed
of four members, each serving a four
year term and one retiring each year.
The mayor shall be q member Of the
boards ex-offcio, but shall have no
vote except Of a tie existing. The
chairman shall receive such compen
sation as the common council shall
determine, other members to serve
without pay. In respect to the gov
erning Of the two departments, the
committees have the same powers as
the safety board has under the pres
ent plan, with the exception that one
important addition is made, the police
board has power to remove or penal"
ize, any supernumerary policeman
without hearing. The fire board will
have the same jurisdiction over call
men and substitute callmen.
Hearings will be required for regular
policemen or permanent f1remen as
heretofore,
Civil Service Commission.
A draft is provided for the creation
Of civil service board, of four mem
bers. The board at present is subject
to the whim of an ordnance, the OBJ
ject Of the change being to bring 1t
under the charter thereby giving the
board stability. q
City Plan Commission.
One amendment is proposed in the
organization of a city plan commission
so as to provide that a member Of the
common council may serve on this
com mission. Two years ago the NAV
or desided to appoint ex-Mayor Ian
ders on the board, but he was de-
barred on account of being a membe
Of the council. 1t is to eliminate this
occurrence again that the change Ia
proposed.
City Court.
The final change recommended bvy-
Cuo pSTlIlQeQ TO changes In
the city court. A draft was adopted
! by a special lawyers committee Of
! which Judge James T. Meskill was
| chairman. The principal amendment
! was to provide for a court of unlimited
! jurisdiction, the object being to enable
| the naturalization of citizens in New
| Britain without entailing the expense
| of making extra trips to Hartford.
| which prove a hardship to many for
| eigners. The Swedish American Re-
| publican club, sent a communication
| to the committee asking them to ar
| range for such a change, a delegation
| from the club cited numerous cases
where applicants for citizenship pa
pers were put to inconvenience and
| expense under the present system,
The change will slightly increase the
duties of the judge of the police
court, as it will require about six DAYS
annually to naturalize citizens The
committee decided not to make anv
| recommendations as to salary, leaving
this blank in the draft feeling that
the common council is the salary fix
ing body Of the city and is thoroughly"
competent in so deciding
The clerk of the court shall receive
portion of the fees which will com.
pensate him for any extra work in

Junior. perhaps 'tis best that you should

Poor little Tom Thumb was almost in
tears as he mounted the butterfly and
flew away with the Queen OF the Fairies.
"Good-by. dear Puss," he called again
and again until his voice could be heard
no longer. Then Puss, wiping his eyes,
for he was very sad at parting with his
little comrade. resumed his journey Of ad-
venture.
BY and by he came to a small village.
He was about to enter. when q man ran
up to him and said:
did you Sc my wife. did you see, did you see:
Did you Zee my wife looking for me!
She wears a straw bonnet with white ribbon On n
And dmity pettcoats over her knee
Puss answered no and proceeded to en-
ter the village.
It was nearly o'clock and everyone
was going home from work. At that
moment q pretty woman wearing q straw
bonnet with a white ribbon on It came by.
Are you looking for your husband %
inquired Puss.
"Yes. my little cat" she replied, have
you seen himT'
"Just over the bridge yonder I met
your good man. Come, I will lead you
to him." And Puss ran down the street
followed by the woman who held up her
''dimity petticoats over her knee" thai
she might keep UP with him. And when
they found her husband, Puss saidi q
am glad you have found each other, for
today I have lost my little comrade, Tom
Thum." And at this he began to weep
Come home with u.s. said the good
woman, lifting Puss up in her arms;
'"you helped me find my good man; will
md you q warm bed and q nice supper.
