THE PARABLE OF THE MAGIs
TRATE AND THE CONTRACTOR

Now when that ! had grown weary
with toiling with my hands, I looked
around about me and said Go 10,
will become contractor, and ] will
apply unto the Fiscal Court, where
! have friend" A Fiscal Court is
n body Of men eho receive no sal
aries, yet they apportion the public
moneys 10 whom il pleaseth them.
A magistrate is a member Of this
| court, and a man who hath a little
court Of his own, but is not trusted
in matters involving more than an
Hundred Dollars-and il is a wise
custom.
Now the friend of whom / spake
was a magistrate, and high in the
innnermost councils Of the court. As
soon as he had become a magistrate,
the court ordered highway, even a
turnpike, TO be builded TO his door,
and IL was done. Then safe he down
upon his seat and rested from his
labors. And thus ] found him when
! went before the court.
II came to pass that when ] had
made supplication TO the Court, my
friend winked thrice, and spake I'M
to his colleagues, saying, This man
have ! known from his youth up. He
hath done divers things for his party
and he must have his contract. Be-
sides, he oweth me money" And his
colleagues said with one voice, yea,
then the contract is his" And the
scribes made an instrument Of writ
ing, and we signed il with our marks.
Then ] went home and safe under
my vine and fig tree, and my help
meet set meat before me, and I did
eat and was merry. And my heart
was lifted up, and I said unto her,
wife Of my bosom, ! have done
profitable thing this day, and we shall
be rich. Behold, the strong box
which containeth the public moneys,
hath been opened unto me. For I
have a contract to rebuild a road.
even a turnpike, in our community"
And when she heard all that ! said
she lifted up her voice and shouted
| for Joy.
Now after a few months IL came
TO pass that ! wanted money. So
went forth and scratched upon the
ground, and reported unto the Fiscal
Court, and they allowed me a goodly
sum. When this had been spent, 7
went forth and demolished some
bridges and utterly destroyed long
piece Of highway so that il was i'm
passable for man or beast. When
the Court saw all the things which
I had done, they commended me for
my good works and rewarded me and
encouraged me to persevere.
After that three years had elapsed
from the awarding of my contract.
and ] had spent two years more than
the time allowed me; I was paid in
full and with interest for all work
which ! had not done. In the mean
time my neighbors had builded a new
road at their own expense in order
to pass around the one which I had
destroyed. But when I wished to use
the road which they had builded
some Of them murmured against me
Then like Samson Of the olden time
I took fresh jaw bone of County
Official, who had died from ignorance
and greed, and smote thousand OF
them.
This parable sheweth that from the
sowing Of fools, wise man may rear
harvest Of gold.

 The cast which MT. Walsh selected for the portrayal of his story could hardly be improved upon. Miriam Cooper wins new laurels by the splendid ability she shows in Interpreting the emotional and contradictory character of Minna Hart. Conway Tearle won the distnc- tion of heading his own company by his work in the production. Henry Give por- trays the role of Gerard Merriam, and Anna Q.

 MT. Walsh has taken daring subject, that of the relation of religious preju- dice to marriage between parties of diff ferent creeds, and has treated the matter so delicately that there is nothing but delightful entertainment. The dramatic story that results could have been based on no other premises than that of deep emotions aroused by conflicting religions. A more gripping photoplay has not been seen this season.

THE OATH" GREAT EMOTIONAL
 PLAY, AT THE T TRIANON NEXT WEEK

Never has the needless recklessness Of good womanhood when friendship sounds the call for succor been more splendidly exempliifed than in "The Oath" the R. A. Walsh production for Associated First National Pictures, which comes to the Trianon next Monday, April 25, as the fourth big attraction during the Trianon Grand Picture Season. The scene in which Irene Merriam sacrifices every thing for the sake of her husband s friend is the most dramatic which has been shown ona the screen in years.
 MT. Walsh is to be thanked for an admirable piece of entertainment. He has taken William J. Locke's novel, Idols" and, while adhering closely to the plot which makes the work such a strongly dramatic piece of fiction, has frightened it considerably and made the action rapid and scintillating by dis-- carding the nonessentials and building his picture play around the big points of the original work.

A picture that is simply enthralling from every point of view is Passion" third feature of the Trianon grand pie ture season, starring Paoli Negri. The narrative idea is briefly the rise of a poor little milliner from her low es- tate to the powerful position of favor ite of the French king, Louis W.
 The theme is merely woman's charm, used to it's fullest power, as the French women of history have used 1t to further their ends. It has been said that the. women of France employ their allurink charm in politics and private life in way totally foreign to the athletic English women, the straightforward American woman or the industrious German frau
