TAXPAYERS SHOULD
 ATTEND THE LIGHT
Pageant Brought to This City at
 Appropriate Time
(By Herald Reviswer)

At no better time than the pFes- ent day could the educational pageant The Light" have been produced in New Britain which. at the Grammar school last evening. showed in eleven different scenes tho development of education from its earliest beginnings down to the present time. If there arc any in this city who believe the school appropriation should bo cut or not increased they had better att tend this pageant tonight and learn the reason why this should not be done.
 Two persons arc the leads in the entire pageant. one called Any City, whose part is taken by Dwight k.a- than. and the other. Education. with Virginia slade depicting this charac- ter Any City is studying tho pro- posed tax Levy for the year and con sidering tho question Of cutting down tho appropriat tions. He finally dc cides to cut the appropriation for education and then falls into n deep alumber. In his slumber Education appears carrying a light. Through tho following eleven glimmers in the play Education shows Any City i'm portHnt developments of education. or particular interest Is tho ono in regards to tho undcrpaid teacher who is employed to teach the children and instead vertically turns the school room Into a roughhouse room where the children rule and not the teacher. It has been strongly emphasized with in tho past few weeks during the Save Our schoois' campaigns that many teachers are not even High school graduates but must be em- ployed as the profession has not been made attractive. Upon awakening from his dream. Any City, realizes that the cost and dangers of ignor- ance are far greater in the end than the cost of education.
 Much credit should he given those who worked to secure the pageant for New Britain and to Mrs. A. C. Guilford. Miss A. r. Townsen and Miss Ella Fallon, who were in charge of selecting the cast and responsible for rehearsais. Through their untir- ing efforts tho pageant was made the greatest educational feature ever pre- sented in this city.
 The Grammar school hall was taxed to eapacity last evening and should be tonight. Music for the pageant was rendered by the New Britain Symphony orchestra which voluntarily offered its services. Tickets for the affair may be bought from tho school children or at tho door

WILLIAM s. HART AT GALAX
 IN TALE OF THE FRONTIER

White Oak" starring William 8. Hart at the Galax. is a sentimental and adventurous story that is told on the screen amid the most beauti- full scenes of the middle west The picture is pioneer story of the early settlement days of St. Louis, filled with the deeds of virile and often wicked men who sought those wilds for many reasons.
 Women feature in the story as they featured in the life of the pioneers. through danger and the call to man hood for protection, sacrifice and love.
 So far as Hart is concerned, this story is the best love story the re- viewer has ever seen him in. Usual ly Hart has only an unimportant love theme, but here love actually Is the motive of all of the adventure, ex- citement and peril, perhaps that is why 1t is so much more entertaining to audiences in general than his pie lures of pure fight.
 Surrounded by gorgeous frontier scenes Is little frontier town on the Mississippi. Here White Oak Is a leading gambler of the time. Clad in his frills and close fitting suit of the time White Oak sits commanding the gaming table (Hart looks espe- cialIy fine in the dress of that time). It is all quiet enough but things do not stay still long in frontier life.

she would say had she heard the listened to from the lips of this young girl who was hardly more than a child. yet who knew all the seamy side of life.
 For the first time I realized that innocence was not virtue. "Inno- cence only means lack of knowledge" I said to myself as l thought of Ria. "and certainly Ria knows" And yet, I was sure that Gloria possessed hard kind of purity that was like a many faceted diamond--cut by her hard experiences.
 But for all that felt little cold chill come over me, as though 1 had suddenly plunged into a cold bath and had all l could do to keep Gloria from hearing the little exclamation of dismay that came to my lips as thought of myself Tn some of the cir cumstances that She had sketched.
 As I arose, the diamond ring which Gloria had dropped in my lap fell upon the floor. I picked 1t up and went into the other room to hand 1t to her. AS did so, I said:
 T still think l would give those jewels back. Ria.'
 Not if you were L. she answered. You are perfectly honest in saying this, Virginia but you haven't the background In your life that I have in mine. l know what most men are, and know that 1t is perfectly right for me to get everything 1 can out of men like Herbert Richardson. The more they give you, the more they think of you, and the less you give them the more they respect you.
 T haven't gotten on as fast as l might, Virgie, because I've always walked the straight and narrow path. And yet have seen girls who have passed me by Nh their imousines---on their way to a<start part in the studios without envy, for I have been here long enough to have seen some of these samc girls pushed out of their places by a newer face, and a more youthful personality.
 If I ever reach the starlight of the screen, Virgie, it will be because I have earned it honestly.
 "Oh. know that do a great many unconventional things. If your aris- tocratic Aunt Virginia and your puri- tannical old grandfather knew of them they would be sure that you were go- ing straight to the place that some say is paved with good intentions because you have made me your friend. But you are not.

PLAY DEPICTS LIFE
 OF LATIN QUARTER
Greenwich Village FoIIies," '" Musical Comedy, Coming.
 to the Jefferson

The announcement that the Green wich Village Follies," the comedy of life in New Yorks Quarter Latin. will play an engagement of three nights, beginning on Thursday night with a matinee on Saturday. at the Jefferson theatre is causing much comment among local theatregoers.
 This slice from New York's pictur- esque bohemian section comes here after record breaking run in New York and Chicago. This quite diff ferent revue began it's career in the dead heat of summer at the quaint Greenwich Village theatre in New York in 1919, and then necessity of a house with a larger capacity drove 1t uptown to the Nora Bayes theatre.
 The book and lyrics are by Philip Bartholme and John Murray Ander- son and the music is by A. Baldwin Sloane. The stage direction, which caused much comment in itself, is by MT. Anderson. He came as a sur prise to the conventional theatre manager with this, his first, notable effort. His principal accomplishment was to sweep away all scenery and use draperies exclusively. On these, around and about them, he played the electric and ff1lti- -colored lights, and with a mastery Justified by his years of training with the great draftsman, Sir Herbert Tree.
 Anderson has done a great many things in the "Follies" which have caused comment The most notable is his introduction to the stage of a new type of young women, cata- logued as the 20 famous artists mod els. To do this he pilfered the studios of well known illustrators. painters and sculptors nor did the pulchritudinous damsels of the mod iste's shop escape his alert eye.
