great cost and much rearrangement OF
the landscape by the Unione Cinema

the thrill or dash, perhaps, of the
world series, but it showed quite as

Theodore, who reigned with Emperor
Justinian in the sixth century. It. is
through its stupendous settings, far
excelling anything seen here before
with the possible exception Of, ,,@iThe
Fall of Babylon" that it is likely to
become one of the sights f,New York.
There are fascinating and at times
dazzling vistas Of the various towers
and gates of that luxurious capital Of
the later imperial Rome, surmounted
by the gorgeous palace with its corri-
doris, it's courtyards and it's magnifi-
cent throne room, done in the floiid
and richly ornate style OF the period
that would arouse the envy OF any
little Balkan king. Against this
chaste Villas shine forth delicately,
with statues dropped about in thu

where the intelligence department, II
would seem, was always busy squecz-
ing out reluctant information. Near
this is the tremendous Hippodrome,
said to be a replica Of the original,
stunning in its wide sweep with tier
on tier of beautifully decorative de-
tail, so grandiose, indeed that the
very lions who charge into 1T stop and
blink their eyes.
It is here that the Empress turns
loose the lions on the multitude to
save from death her reel lover Very
impressive are the scenes as the great
cats come rushing pell-mell into the
arena and the multltudes scale walls
and climb over the top of one another.
But perhaps the scenes that most
potently laid their talons on ones
attention were those showing Mar
cellus the centurion stealing into the
palace at dusk to murder the Empcr-
or, climbing a marvellous staircase,
with his head silhouetted most strilS-
insly against the sky. That is prob
ably the finest example of clandestine |
ever seen on the screen |
and should be model to all future
regicides.

A CERTAIN BUT NOT
 AN ODORLEss END

Discovring a skunk had found his way into the cellar of large Main street drug store there was a natural eager ness to get rid of the animal in the quickest manner possible and at the same time one that would not give any indi- cation to the public as to what had been done.
 The hiding place of the polecat was lo- cated and some food was properly doc tored to accomplish the end. It worked ali right, but in putting the black and white fellow hors de combat he offered more than passive resistance and made fl evident what he was though his pursuers would have been perfectly willing tc have rested on their first formed judg. ment.

period of prosperity. proved to be prophet. and now. as we are continuing on. and business is growing better, we have you to thank, for no one gave us as much as you. The song and the laugh that you left with us and the laughter that you will leave here will last for long, long time We know that prosperity is here and we are going into the greatest period yet. This must react to the benefit of the state It was not so long ago that the state had only s5o,O0o to spend, and now we have $5,000,0 600. This brings a responsibility to everyone. The days that are coming will be a test to everyone. We must still preserve that economy that has prevailed and feel the same responsibility that we did short time ago.
 Get all the good possible out of this coHclave, and what we give is only small fraction of what you give to us."
 MT. Sullivan then introduced Mayor Lucius E. Whiton of New London. who extended a hearty welcome from the city of New London to the visiting Rotarians. Mayor Whiton said that as mayer of New London he was called upon only to face council, of seven where today he faced seven hundred. and yet the spirit of har- mony is equally as marked here as in the smaller body. This is a delightful oc- casion for me to welcome you to our city of New London. Cities are like homes,
 and it is always a pleasure to open our doors to our guests Governor Lake has welcomed you to the state and it Is my privilege to welcome you to New London, and the land of steady habits. There is in New England a heritage that binds us together in a peculiar way. New England has traditions that we must live up to, and Rotary is showing, us this way. Over | these rugged New England hills years l ago wandered tribes that were not bound together by a spirit Of service and fellow l ship. Many conclaves were held where the pipe of peace was lacking and there l important duties is to build up and strengthen the ties that bind us together and our New England Rotary clubs car l do this.
 As you go about New London and the 1 Thames valley you will see many things l Off on the islands in the sound are disap. bearing guns, up the river is the sub
 marine base and all around are defense. against external foes, But we should | build here against the insidious interna foes There are many points of histori
 interest in the vicinity of New London
 that should be visited before you leave
 Again welcome you as a friendly trib
