BREED THEATRE.

A motion picture masterpiece which measures tip to the highest standards of art, acting, directing and nrodue- ton will head the special holiday biil at the Breed theatre today and Thursday. It is Fftagraph's super feature, 'The Wolf" with Earle Will jams in the stellar role. The pro daction is unlike other motion picture features and Is even better than the play which had riin and made repu- tation for Eugene WalteS, the author. The screen veeion hes ar atmosphere that the stage production lacked. The beautiful scenery of California is faithfully reproduced. PicturesqHe log cabins. virgin forests, rapids ! through which birch bark canoes shoot ! cascades over which a mighty hood
 dashes, sending heavy mist heaven ward, interesting Indian encanipmer1ts and the beautiful shores of Lake Ia hoe, with n1ajectie, snow capped mountains in the distance form the
 background of an intense dramatic
 story of the open country. Evelyn 1 Greeley will also be seen in "Me and Captain Kidd" This is a romance of society that reaches the heart
 strings. Harold Lloyd in a snappy
 comedy titled Count Your Votes will complete this banner bill.

 WEEK IN JANUARY

 Week beginning Saturday, January IT, and ending January 24. Plans
 looking to its success are now well under way. National Thrift Week is an economic inspiration and will be the ', NJ. C. A. and it is is promised the hearty cooperation of many busi- ness organizations and has been en- dorsed by the War Savinks organixa- ton.
 Realizing the urgent necessity of strong economic program to combat
 the present tendency to spend re gardless of price or need and deterni- ined to aid the government in It's re- construction program, the Y. M. O. 4. promises a big margin of success not merely for the week alone, but for the future in the lessons learned in prac- tical economy.
 1 National Thrift Week involves the teaching Of financial creed which | contains much of value for every
 American citizen. It involves ten commandments as follows; i, Spent 1 less than you eari; ?, Make a budget;
 3, Keep a record of expenditures; 1, | Have a bank account; 5, Calyy life Insurance; 6, Mack will: I; Own your own home; 8. Pave your hlls | promptly; g, Invest in government
 securities; 10, Share with others. On each day of Thrift Week some special
 phase of this creed will be enpha- sized as for example on Saturday, I January 27, National Thrift or Bank
 Day" the emphasis will be on the service q bank renders it's commun- 1 ity. --------;---
 1 Here in Connecticut the Y. NJ, Q. | A. will devote particular attention to l teaching thrift in the public schools.
 Local thrift committees especially fit ted for this important work will con. | duct this programme and speakers will
 carry the message to the children ] In the Boys Department of every \. IN. 0. A. much win be done to forward 1.-the movement. It is planned to form Happy Jack Clubs. having head quarters in each association building, 1 The older boys will be asked to form | thrift clubs and save and invest in I thrift stamps for some special event. l such as vacations and Christmas. Ways of earning money by saving junk and useless articles and turning I them into cash at a favorable oppor- tunity will be pointed out and the II youngsters win be instructed 4n Il budgeting their funds so that they may know exactly how much they can
 spend for a particular thing and still
 have a sum left for some other object.
 In all this work the Y. N. c. 4. will have the complete cooperation of
 the War Savings organization. The as sociation is planning to take Thrift Week a big event all over the ceun-
 try, and the campaign will be so or.
 ganized that 1t will reach the pub lie from many angles.

TILDEN AND JAP
 IN LAST ROUND
Philadelphian Ready-Ameri- can Tennis Team Beats Bel gianS-Other Racquet News.

New York, May 16.--AS a result of
 play in the open singles at the liar
 lem Tennis Club yesterday afternoon, William T. Tilden, 2d, of Philadelphia,
 and Ichiya kumagae will meet in the final round today. Both won their senli-final matches In easy fashion
 and the outlook Is for a. splendid con-
 test this afternoon, with the chances favoring Tilden. The national clay
 court champion won the Harlem tour nament last spring.
 TIidens victim in the semin- final
 round was Ingo Hartman, who gave the lank PhiladeIphian more wig orous battle than had been expected,
 but never really threatened the cham pion. The tally was 6---4, 6---4. On a
 nearby court Kumagae was drivtng Joseph W. Fox all over the terrain and giving him a thorough trouncing,
 with the final figures at 6--1, 6-1. Fox had no hopes Of stopping the tyiphoon from the Yellow Sea, but he wanted the opportunity to tell his grandchildren of the time when he
 played Kumagae in the semi finals
 and he got his wish. Besides, Fox got a lot of experience.
 Hartman started many an unlock ed for rally against T4Iden and at times took the champion by surprise. But these furrieS served only to arouse Iilden to something like his best form
 and he soon forged to the front Tennis players ir the metropolitan district will be interested to learn that the New Jersey State champion ship will be an open event this year | In 1918 entries were restricted to res | idents of New Jersey, but this year
 the Montc1air Athletic Club where 1 the championship will beglin the week of June 2, has decided to make it ar open tournament. It is expected thai
 this decision will result in a large en- 1 try.
