BEST THEATRE.

Today-"The Judgment House" fea- turing Violet fleming and Conway Tearle as reviewed by Frances Az new.
 Suburb photography, emphasized in many novel shots" and distinctive title plate and excellent direction; are the outstanding characteristics of the first J.. Stuart Blackton-Pa mount feature, '"The Judgment House." @
 The production is artistic in every detail and one of the most costly and lavish six-part plays yet screened. In fact, the production, technically, mer- it's such commendation that it really takes precedence over the story in point of appeal.
 Sir Gilbert Parker's novel, however, does not lack plot. On the contrary, as adapted for the screen, it offers a series of complications growing out of the love of two men for one girl and multiplicity of good incidents which resolve themselves into very eff fective scenes.

It appears rather wonderful to ses 8 dog shut the door at word of com. mand,- but 1t Is quite simple trick. It works best with rather large dog. Go to door that swings easily and set 1t about six inches open. Then bal ance biscuit on the handle and draw the dogs attention to 1t, saying, "Shut the door," He will naturally jump against the door to get the biscuit, and his weight will shut it. Then praise him for it. By doing this several times a day he will gradually get to associate the action with the words "Shut the door," and will do the trick when told, even though there is no biscuit in evi- 60nc0.
