Man Without a Country"
Vivid Dream Film at
the Broadway

"Tho Man without a Country" is
brought up to date at the Broadway
Theatre, and il looks as though he was

The picture is taken from Edward
Everett Hale's story and is made to

Of double exposures which were ex-
tremely interesting.
Florence La Babe, as Barbara Nor
ton, does the best work in the picture.
II. Z. Herbert's Philip Nolan is not con-
vincing unit. the scenes revert to the
original story, when he is much more
satisfactory.
It is sort of dream picture, but
at any rate the dream is so vivid that
the next day Philip throws away his
pacfist's button, buys an American flag
and cnlsts.

Part Time Attendance Is
Cut Down Con-
siderably
Sessions Made Longer
Gary System Adopted in Six
Manhattan and Fourteen
Brooklyn Buildings

Summer ended yesterday for an army
of New York boys end girls when they
returned TO school for the fall term
At the many buildings long lines OF
children waited all day to register.
School authorities believe the regis
trstion will be comparatively low this
year, owing to lack of immigration.
The attendance may be slightly bigger
than last year. however, because Of in
creased facilities. An estimate for the
five boroughs is placed at $4,000, which
is $4,000 more than last year. Actual
figures will not be compiled until to-
morrow.
Part-time attendance Will be consider
ably cut down by 4 lengthening Of SEES
sions. In addition, the operation Of the
Gary system in six schools in Msnhat-
tan will permit larger number OF
children TO attend regular sessions
Nine other schools are being altered
for the Gary plan. ana later in the
term similar work will be started in
several other buildings.
More Periods in High Schools
The high schools opened with a nine.
period day instead Of a siX-period day
as last year. The addition OF three
periods is partly because of the Welsh
law, which requires physical training
and partly in order TO accommodate
more pupils. 1t is estimated that %
per cent more pupils can be cared fol-
with the three added periods. The ses
sion last year was from Q o'clock e
2:30; this year it will be from O'CLOCK
to 3:45. or from S:24 to $3.50, as the
principals desire.
At De Witt Clinton an experiment !:
being tried which may later be put
into effect in other high schools. d.
Witt Clinton will have six periods Of
one hour each, and one-half of each
period will be used for study. 1t i:
intended that pupils shall prepare al
much Of their work in school as g.
home.

had been 81 800. They had been pur-
chased in Italy, and there was anthem

reports from time to time that the

merely rumors. There have been, too
numerous offers made for the famous
bronze doors, millionaire who COM
pleted mis- Fifth Avenue palace only a
year or so ago being the last to make
an attempt to purchase them.
All offers have been refused, how
ever, though il was said at the time
that a considerable sum over the $685.

offered
Now the doors and the furnishings
which are valued at close to 100000
are 20 be sold at auction. and the an
nouncement that the representative OF
Monte Carlos ruler is TO attend at least
holds out promise that the doors may
again swing in surroundings familiar
and in keeping with their recent past.
