Engagement Extraordinary at
 Lyric in Bride of the Regiment

One Of the most thrilling and at the same time pictorally beautiful pictures that has reached the screen for a long time iA Bride of the Regiment" which opened last night at the Lyric thcater.
 It is not, however, one of those last mute lash ito -thc-r"srue mel os. The bride threatened by an ltal- ian officer, saves herself in q remark able and unexpected manner, thanks to the aid of several quaint and amusing circumstances, moreover she saves her husband at the same time. The characters are delightfully."- human.
 The picture is exceptionally beau tiful because if is filmed In tcchni- color throuG hput. The color is clear, brilliant, and remarkable for It's depth, giving an illusion of third dimension or stcnographic effect. Tho backgrounds represent q pictur- esGue section of Italy. The brilliant military uniforms of two armies and he civilian costume of the period, about 1880, are also conducive to cinematic beauty.

CHINAMAN SEEKS TIA SAVE
 FITTINGS CAT AND DOGS

Peiping.-Li Chaokuan has pe- titioned municipal authorities to stop the practice of staying dogs and cats in Peiping for their furs.
 LIS own motive In the matter is purely humanitarian, he says. but he also points out that the dog and cat fur business is corrupting Chinese fur dealers who, he claims. are sell ing these skins in the guise of seal marten, and fox.
 Furriers have improved methods of tanning and dycing skins to make them initiate the furs of valua ble wild animals. Li declares, and the profits from this illicit business are the cause of many of Peiping's pet animals being stolen and killed for their hides.
 He claims 5,000.000 Peiping cats and dogs are slain each year for the industry.

QUAKER CHURCH
 PRESENTED NEW
 WAY TO WORSHIP

New York, Feb 20.-UP)-Some 35 worshippers at the conservative, dignified old Friends Meeting house at 27 Gramercy Park south were wondering to-day why and how Leon Tucker. a wandering self styled "blood-bought" evangelist from California, showed them how to praise Jesus with saxophone and circus caliope.
 Tucker wandered into the pulpit last night with four assistants, set Up his night club assortment of jazz instruments. and proceeded with the wierdest service ever witnessed in that staid old meeting house es- ta ablished in 1704 as Il bulwark against the moderns. He remained despite the shock his service wrought because the friends in the pews made up in dignity what may have been lacking in the service.
 Tonight I shall bring the melo- dies of the night club into the tab- ernaclc." MT Tucker told them. And he did.
 Jesus can be praised with a capi- ope. And he also can be praised with q saxOphone.
 My friends, the good book says that the meek shall inherit the earth but ] say that the meek shall not inherit the earth until the other people get through with 1t.
 "The earth is in the hands of the wicked and 1t Is time the meek got together and took hold of things"
 That wasn't all he had to say or offer them, for there was a 30-min- ute musical program.
 When meek elderly lady In the front row requested Abide With Me-" silvery trumpet and the dangling of 360 sleighbells hung on leather straps rendered" her Abide With Me"
 The xylOphone played Rock of Ages" and the circus calipoe and saxophone blended their output in shall We Gather at the River?"
