At a meeting of the Water Board
at City Hall last night it vas decided
to nave an aeroplane picture taken of
the works at Runyon so thai this pic

scenes of combat that were SO re.
markedly depleted in THE Birth OF

new and tremendous domestic drama
that he has brought into being in
this latest Of his works will
cdly prove one of his most notable
contributions to the screen.
The cast for 1.-THE Mother and the
Law is thoroughly representative or
a Griffith company. The principal
players include Mae Marsh Robert
Walter Long, Alberta Lee, Margaret
Marsh Tod Browning and others
who's enames are familiar to those
who p%atronize the higher form of mo-
ton pictures.
In line with his established policy
of providing special music for all or
his productions, Mr.. Griffith has fur
nished an elaborate score by Mr..
Louis Gottschalk. The photography
by G.. w. Bitter, Mr.. Grifith's chief
camera man, is up to the high stand

and other super-plays. Popular
prices will prevail.

BELGIAN BELLS ARE SAFE
Huns Lacked Time to Destroy the
WorId-Famous CariIIons of
Mechlin and 6ruges-

Lovers of bell music will be glad
to hear that the famous carillons at
Mechlin and Bruges were not destroyed
by the Germans, says the Living
Age. They were actually marked for
destruction-to supply the boche with
materials for making munitions-but
the German army had become ''salt-
ed slug" to use soldiers picturesque
similitude, before the act of vandalism
could be carried on.
Joseph Denyn has actually been
playing on his beloved Hemony bells,
and one can imagine the delight with
which the people of Mechlin once more
hear the greatest of carilloneurs dis
play his enraptured virtuosity in a
clear sky. You get wonderful and
unwonted view from st. Rombold's
stupendous tower in these days of a
still imperfect peace, for the tall chin
neys Of the Belgian factories are now
smokeless and the air Is so clear that
you can surmise, even if your eye can
not reach, the edged glimmer of the
sea on the far blue horizon.
But Belgium has no love for idleRess,
and everybody will be glad when the
dark, fantastical smoke blossoms are
seen once more on their straight stalks
Ito sway and fiuctuate to the far
flung music of the historic bells cast
in a bygone century by the Stradiva'
RUS of bell founders.
