STRAND THEATER

In the rapid surrender of the screen to music, the melodrama is the latest type of story to fall in line. Bright Lights" First Nation al's all-Techncolor production, now playing at the Strand theater. with five acts of select vaudeville, is such q picture.
 Murder, police, underworld and the glitter of the theater's back stage, are among the melodramatic features set to music in this Dorothy Mackaill effort. The plot moves from Africa to somewhere up the Hudson, and then down again to New York It has swift action. punctuated with brilliant backgrounds of varied locales.
 Miss Mackaill has a more dra- matic role than that in The Bark CT" or His Captive Woman" It is the initial dramatic and musical part she has undertaken for the screen and her success in it has placed her with Bebe Daniels and one or two other top-notch ac- tresses of the silent films who have made good this difficult portrayal.
 Bright Lights presents Miss Mackaill as q hula dancer. The story is told in a unique way, which au- diences have found quite novel by having Miss Mackaill give her bio sraphy to newspaper reporters. It is vivid. flashing realism and present the red-blooded events of a hula dancers rise to fame.

FIVE TOWNS GIVEN
 POWER ID ELECT
Population Increase Permits Action Before Fertilization

Hartford, Aug. 21 P)-An opin- ion, but not as yet reduced to writ ing has been given by First Assist ant Attorney General Raymond A. Johnson to Deputy Secretary of State E. H. Lounsbury, that the five towns which have passed the five thousand mark in the recent census and which have had only one mem- Der of the house of representatives may elect two members this fall.
 A copy of letter which MT. Johnson will write will so to town chairmen in the towns affected by the decision and which benefit until the increase in population. The towns are East Haven, Darien, Gris- wold, New Canaan and Plainville.
 The opinion of the attorney gen. erals office means that in the five towns given, the representative con- ventions of all parties may make an additional nomination.
 It would appear the fact was overlooked that East Haven in New Haven county has gained a seat in the lower house as it's population jumped from 3520 to 1858 as pre- viously announced by the Associat- ed Press in it's tabulation of towns of the state. The fact is also con- frmed by the 1880 state register and manual which gives the 1889 compilation of towns based on the preliminary figures, as the final of fcial figures will not be issued from Washington for another month. When the 1881 legislature opens anI the five extra representatives ct seek their seats, they will be admit ted by reason of certification of the census in their respective towns.
 The opinion of Mir. Johnson, how ever, which holds as good as law un- til upset, paves the way for election of the five and gives them a valid reason for application for seats. Twenty years ago when extra repre- sentatives were elected on the basis of the 1910 census there was much uncertainty in the house as to ad- mission of the applicants because their status had not been passed upon previously and it was thought by some that towns had gone ahead and elected an extra member with out legal warrant. In the end the additional members took their seats and the furry was over.
 The 1881 house will number 267 members as against 262 for the past decade.

 ANCIENT TREES
Chinese Society DeplOrS De-
 Sp0ilati0n Of Pine Forest

Peiping, Aug. q tJP)-The As sociation for the Protection of An cient Objects in Peiping reports 10 the bureau of public welfare that so per cent of the ancient pine trees and many marble tablets at the Lun mun-ssu (Dragon Gate Temple), one of the most noted of old temples in Peiping's suburbs, have been stolen
 The report in regard to the tab lets is rather amusing, as it is common knowledge that these were removed to Mukden by the Man churian government to be used in the memorial to the late Chang Tso-lin. They were purchased from family which claims own ership of the temple.
 The trees, however, were the particular pride of the temple. Records show that about 1000 pine trees were planted at Lung -mun-ssu during the Ming dynasty several hundred years ago. when the tenn plo was built. Such excellent care las been taken of the trees during the centuries that most of them survived until this year.
 The removal Of tablets from the temple seemed to be a signal for theft of the tree, which were cut down ruthlessly and removed, The persons responsible for this ac- ton have not yet been determined. but police have been instructed to find out.
 One of the glories Of Peiping has been the thousands Of ancient trees i'll the old capitals suburbs But vandals have been at work for years, and many of the finest trees have disappeared. Some of the best in the Temple of Heaven grounds have disappeared.
 The inactivity Of officials seems to indicate that there is official connivance in the destruction of these living monuments Of Pei pings splendid past.

 The Finger Lakes association claims to be the first to evolve the modern plan, but the idea is the same as behind the loose union of ancient Greek city y-states-mutual welfare.
 Auburn's Chamber of Commerce, in 1919, called a conference of town epresentatives to form an organiza- ton to broadcast the attractions of the Central New York region with it's six fakes from II to 40 miles lcng, 400 glens, l ,O00 waterfalls and picturesque countryside.
 The result was the Finger Lakes Association.
 The group substituted the civic basis for the commercial one in vogue in other regions; there was no individual or resort advertising in any of the associations litera- ture.
 Today the group embraces an area Of nearly G.O0O miles from the Fennsylvania line to Lake Ontario -44 cities and villages.
 Beauties of the section were en- hanced.
 The program was broadened to include developments of state roads, state parks, fish and game conserv- ation. and the like. Nearly 1,eO0 miles of state highways were secured.
 The state spent S2,oo0,0o0 in park improvements and nine new parks were established. A S6o,0o0 state study of the regicn's waters as a basis for future stockings was secured.
 This year tWo-day music festi- val at Ithaca, designed to make the region the center of a church music renaissance in America, was spon sored, and 4,000 singers from 50 cities taking part. Thousands came from all parts of the East to hear the music.
 Civic groups from Connecticut to California, South America and the Philippines are asking information.
