THE PALACE

Long a classic of literature, song and stage 'The Rosary" now comes forward to infease its popularity through the medium of the motion picture screen. In a truly brilliant cinema production "The Rosary" will be the screen attraction at the Palace on Sunday evening and also Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Increased two and three fold in dra- natic strength by the unlimited possibil- ties of the silent drama, The Rosary" as screen play becomes far greater and far more convincing than it ever proved to be as book or stage play. As a pie lure "The Rosary" registers a large achievement in expressing the spiritual thought underlying the lives of the characters.
 On the screen Bernard McConvile's whole enthralling story is woven about the dramatic and yet simple figure of the kindly Father Brian Kelly. a part in which that sterling actor Lewis s. Stone gives one of the finest characterizations of his career.
 The production Is staged and produced in manner that excites many moments of deep dramatic interest a great. grip ping climax coming in the dynamiting of the cannery. There follows this smash ing spectacle one of the greatest and most realistic mob scenes that the eye of the camera has registered for the screen, during which Father Kelly in one of the plays big moments defes the angry townsfolk and saves the life of Kenwood Wright
 As a symhony of human emotions, a sonnet of sweet sacrifice and an idyll of perfect love "The Rosary" as a play has become inmortalized by this brilliant ex- ample of modern screen production.
 Another great dramatic production has

STRIKE NOT LIKELY
 IN MILLS IN CONN
Troubles in Rhode Island and Bay
 State Not Reflected Here

Willinantic, Feb. 17-Despite the fact that there are thousands of cotton mill operatives out on strike in what has been described as the greatest textile strike ill the history of New England, the mills i'll this section of the state have not been affected in any way. There have been no signs of any labor difficulties, and so calm Is the industrial sea here that many of the men who are on strike in Massa- chusctts and Rhode Island have come here seeking employment.
 There are believed to be two reasons why the Connecticut cotton mills have not been affected by the conditions which are causing Governor San Souci of Rhode Island to hold several companies of the National Guard ready for instant action. These reasons are l. That there have been no recent reductions in wages in Connecticut mills 2 Most of the mill workers are not affiliated with the unions
 In the vicinity of Putnam, in the re- gions including the Ponemah Mills at Taftvile, the Wauregan Co.,, and the Connecticut Mills Co. at Danielson, the Nlghtingale- Morse Inc, the Grosvernor- dale O., and the Manhassett Mfg. Co.,, in Putnam, there are about 4500 men en- ployed. At the last named plant, a recent order reduced the rents of all tenenents owned by the company in proportion with the cut in wages, which kept every thing more or less equal.
 Again many of the mills in this vii cinity are not running at full time, which makes it unlikely that they will have labor disputes. Indeed those who have been watching the situation in the Con- ncctiCut cotton factories are of the opin- ion and they say it is well founded that there will be no difficulties of any kind felt in Connecticut during the pres ent general cotton strike elsewhere in New England.

THE BIJOU

Johny Duffy did not have a prize fighters hands but he had a fighters head and his ring generalship made him the logical challenger for the light weight championship when he dropped Kid Began with right to the jaw. The punch put Johnny's right hand out of commission and he was ordered away for a rest He went to Craig1noor, an exclu- sive summer resort because he knew Con- stanceTalbot was there. Constance was a socet ygirl Johnny had rescued from park policeman who was arresting her for failing to obey a Keep Of the Grass" sign. She took him for a gen. tlcman and Johnny who sensed her breed did not disclose his profession. The boyhood training he had received from his cultured sdrunkard, of a father made his new role easy to play. It also led him into a series of exciting and laugh able adventures that are shown in the high speed romance The Right That Failed" with Bert Lytell in the most fascinating role of his entire screen car eer as the highbrow prize fighter.
 Incidentally the picture includes one of the most realistic four round bouts ever shown on the screen. Sunday night there will be shown on the same program a new Snookey comedy "Snookey Home Run" together with a new episode of The White Eagle. The vaudeville which comes Monday for a three days acts in Laurence Scwabs new produc- tion Follow the Girl" starring Helen Coyne and with a clever company of recognized artists. The associate head line will have Mary Marble and company in My Home Town" Other acts on the first half program include Worth Wayten Four, a quartet; Van and Ty- son and the White Brothers versatile novelty artists.
 Tuesday night will bring another of the always enjoyable Opportunity Nights with an even dozen of entertainers. For the last half of the week the supreme vaudeville attraction will be Madame Ellis The Woman Who Knows" the mental marvel who has something on every other of her class who ever ap- peared here.
