Lew Brems and Felix Martin need no introduction to local theater goers as they have been very popular here in the past. They are now re- united and in their new show. they will be liked even better than before. It is poppy, singing. and dancing show with a great cast of principals in support of the stars and with a chorus of flashy girls. They will off, fer complete change of program on Thursday
 Love that glorifies and exalts: pas sion that sears and rends. Those are the scenes for which every picture producer strives and yearns. Those are the scenes that lift screen offer ings from the rut Of the common paceto the realm of the "unforget- able: that make stars overnight
 Outstanding in the mind of every picture goer are favorite love scenes that live in memory long after pro- dnctions themselves have been for gotten.
 Thomas H. Ince has contributed one of the most powerful love scenes Of recent productions in his screen adaptation of Anna Christie" There is no seductive moonlight; no shad- owed arbor: no cracking fire as a background for this remarka ble scene. He has painted picture of mighty passion--and told 1t in the cabin of a coal barge. This picture a First Ma tional release. will be shown at the Palace theator Sun. Mon. Tues. Wed.
 Blanche Sweet has been favorite with the picture followers since Judith of BethBlah" lifted her to highest stardom. In Anna Christie" she proves herself an emotional act ress of first water. Only B genius conld have conceived the gripping situation which works out in the final love scenes Of this drama of stark realism. Only an artist could have screened the scene with complete realism that at the same time lacks any suggestion of offense.

TheatergOers Will Remem- Der Mrs. Fiske as She Appeared at Lyceum Theater.

There is probably no outstanding star on the stage at the present day whose career has lasted so long or an actress who has been so cndearcd to the lovers Of drama in this city, as Minnie Maddorn, better known as Mrs. fislle. She is the only person left on the stage today who was num- hered among the long line of great opponents of the spoken drama. who still appear regularly as a favortc.
 She began her long career as a ju- vcRile, appearing in the role of Lit tie Fritz" in Our German Cousin, '' Little Mary Morgan" in Ten Nights in a Barroom" and other parts of equal fame. She appeared as early as 1870 in Hartford, 5f years ago, and much of her success has been due to her carly training under her aunt, Mary Maddern. who also was one of the faverites of days gone by.
 She made her debut as star in the Park theater in New York in 1872 and from then 10 the present day has been recognized as one of the leaders in the art on the stage. She appear cd in New Britain at the Lyceum theater and honors were divided be- tween her and such other stars as Katn klaAton. Maggie Mitchell. An nie piXley and many others.
 Among her greatest triumphs in this city was her portrayal of the sweetheart in "The Heart of Mary land" that drama which always drew B full house. Theatergoers in New Britain can well remember her vivid scting as she grasped the tongne of the big bell to keep if from giving the signal for her lovers execution.
 Although it has been q long time since the drama has Craced the boards of any of the theaters tn this city and now that New Britain Is no longer the stopping place for tho stars as if was in other days, many a sigh is heard at the mention of the name of Minnie Maddcrn and she will never he forgotten.
 Periodically. she returned to New Britain and was always greeted hy largo audience and even at tho present time, when she makes a visit 10 Hart

 of Broadway. The ardent diminutive David inspired with a love for Prin-
 cess Michael auenched the forces that stood between them. One oi these was the stauch and oyerpower- ing giant, Goliath, the other the in. imical Saul. King of the Israelites
 and father of the girl. When "The Shepherd King was
 produced on the New York stage in 1901, critics acclaimed it one of the most powerful love stories ever told. The metropolitan press devoted col
 umns in enulogy of tha anthor-actor's r's
 performance. When the production
 went en tour dramatic writers
 throughout the nation added to the cumulative praise already contribut- ed to the offering.

JUDGMENT OF THE
 STORM AT LYCEUM
Opens Four Nights Show Tomor- row." "HellS Hole" Thursday

One of the master photoplays of the decade is to show at the L.yceum thea ter tomorrow night. Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday when Judgment of The storm" is presented. This pie ture. conceived and written by a Pittsburgh housewife, has taken the movie world by storm and it is ac- credited as being one of the best pic- lures of all time. For tomorrow night there will be, as an added attraction, Charles Jones in Second Hand Love-" romance with pep and action. Be- ginning Mon. and continuing through Wednesday will also be the latest epi- sode of Fighting Blood" the serial for which all movie fans wait: and for the last half of the week comes Buck Jones in the William Fox spe- cial western drama with an awful punch in it-"Hell's Hole"
 Judgement of the Storm," written by q Pittsburgh woman, inexperienc- ed in scenario writing, is an amazing story of life that lays bare the folly and tragedy of II mans vices. that plumhs the depths of mother love and mans love for woman--a compelling story that is rooted in the fertile soil of everyday life.
 There are several cross veins of TO- nance in the picture and il derives ifs name from tho smashing climax. Helpless in q terrific blizzard, having to choose between life and death for one of two groups, the leading char. acter rises to wonderfully dramatic heights and the final decision he makes is really the Judgment of the storm" In this, her final story. Mrs. Ethel Styles Middletown includes everything essential to tho master pie ture-love. redemption and sacrifice. The all star east which presents this picture includes Lloyd Hughes, Myrtle Stedman, George Haekathorn and Lu- ellie Ricksen.
 "Hell's Hole" for the last half of the week. is Il 1924 melodrama. In addition to Jones. it has in It's cast Lefty" Flynn, former Yale fullbaek and now ! leading heavy" in tho movies. and Ruth Clifford. The story is plausible and interesting one. It concerns real men Of tho west and into their rough life comes q little dancing girl.
