BREED rAEArRE.

Cupid Ef Forecloses." adapted from Florence,s Morse Kingsleys popular novel. "Hurryine Fate and Geraldine makes a pleasing vehicle in which to feature Bessie Love. The picture will be shown at the Breed theatre to- day and Thursday. The youthful Vitagraph star has a charming role in the village school teacher who is only few years senior of her pupils, The story is one that will appeal to young and old because of It's rural at mosphere. The quaint old chara cters such as one finds in Way Down East and "The Old Homestead" once more find a place in Cupid Forecloses.
 These characters have long since left the spoken drama. and it is refresh ing to see them appear upon the screen in animated form. David Smith directed the production and used a master hand. Gladys Brock well will also be seen in "The Sneak.
 thrilling story of Gypsy love and hate and Harold Lloyd in He Never Touched Me" will complete the bill.

STONiNcTON

There was a largey attended mass meeting in MulIer's hall, Monday night in the general interest of organized la Dor. and in the special interest of the strikers of the Atwood Machine com pany. There was a slight disturbance in the mill of the American Velvet company. when employees who were soliciting funds in aid of the strikers. were informed that such action would not be tolerated in the mill during the working hours. The great majority of people in the borough hope for an amicable settlement. but fear that cannot be reached under existing con- ditions. It would be no surprise if the two chief industries of the bor- ough suspended operations. should the strike extend. and become general. It is understood that the heads of these two industries will not stand for any dictation to how they will conduct their business, and will not be gov erned by outside influences. It was reported Tuesday. that the Stonington strike was not sanctioned by the American Fedora ton of Labor.

Once again as reports have it, Ar thur Hammerstein delyed into the theatrical grab-bag and picked a prize in the form of Somebody's Sweetheart;'i which, as a musical play, ran so long fin New York that the players grew tired of Broadway.
