MARE NosTRUM, AT CAPITOL

..IARE NOSTRUM" AT CAPITOL
 Mare Nostrum" is powerful modern story of the sea. Ingram produced 1t on the actual locations in Europe described by Blasco Iban- ez in his book. Here again Ingram has shown good judgment in mak- ing the locations part of the story rather than dragging them in mean inglessly as so many directors have done in Europe.

 Against her own will, Freya learns to love Ulysses. She attempts to withdraw from the trouble she is leading him to, but the powerful forces behind her will not allow it.
 Ulysses supplies the submarines with fuel. His son is killed when one of the undersea crafts sinks a ytft,i hn to Ulysses sets out to get hts revenge and succeeds in capturing the lead CT of the spy system. He turns his ship. the Mare Nostrum." over to the French government and volun- teers as its commander.
 Freya learns of the death of Ulysses son and denounces the cause which sanctions such barbar- ity She finds Ulysses in Marseilles and pleads with him to take her with him and save her from the fate which Is certain to be hers. With the vision of his son always before him, Ulysses refuses. Freya is betrayed by her former associates arrested and sentenced to be execu. ted as spy.
 Other films include Aesop's Fables and scenes of the Yale-Harvard game.

MANY LAUGHS IN
 G0LDEN'S COMEDY

 In the good old days of ten, twent', thirt ''mellerdrama", the prodigal son or the daughter who was misunderstood turned up in the nick of time in the third act and saved the old homestead from being sold under foreclosure proceedings. It was the big thrill of the show, and how the boys up under the roof used to stamp their feet and yell and applaud the hero or heroine, mean while applying to the villain what Is called in the modern vernacular the "razz".
 Anne Morrison and Patterson Me Mutt have taken that plot, dressed 1t up In new clothes, and called 1t Pigs. which was presented last night at Parsonss theater, Hartford. The homstead is saved and the roof is kept intact over the graying heads of a very lovable father and mother.
 Pigs" is a typical American guidance of John Golden and staged by Frank Craven. It is a pleasing. laughab ble story with many situations which excite the risibilities.
 One of the most difficult assign ments which could be given to ac- tors and actresses is the delineation of truly juvenile roles. Wallace Ford as the boy and Una Merkel as the girl handle their respective char acters well although at times l' seemed as if they are laying 1t on q bit thick. Their determination to borrow s250 with which to buy some pigs and sell them at profit and their success is the backbone of the tale.
 Gertrude Augarde offers a delight ful picture Of an old fashioned grandma who simply can't keep her fingers out Of every pie. May Buck, ley, George Henry Trader and Elmer son Treacy are also worthy of being included in the hall Of fame.

In the afternoon the women made
their analyzation charts by compar-
ing their actual proportions with the
proportions Of a normal figure. After
this. instructions were given as to the
use OF the chart in selecting gar
ments.
Everybody was urged to make the
charts and 1914 were made.
Mrs! Violet Parker, the County
Clothing Project Leader, spoke of
the value of these charts in connec-
ton with her report to the Executive
committee on the work done in
clothing.
She said: This project includes
analyzation charts. These are made
by the members as a guide to dress
ing and accessories of dress.
while there may not show up as
large saving as in the millinery. If
woman knows and will profit by her
own type and figure and will dress
accordingly and use colors and lines
that bring out her good points and
minimize her poor ones, she can
often make for small amount of
outlay and labor. together with some
thought to her chart, a garment or
hat which will be far more becoming
to her than one she could buy for a
reasonable sum. l don't think this
can be stressed too hard, for when
we stop to think of it, those charts
simply teach each woman to do for
herself what a dressmaker or sales
woman is paid good amount for
knowing the right thing for the right
person"
