A readers of Mark Twain will realize, this book offers wonderful séope to a motion picture director, and it is surprising that no producer until now has undertaken to put it on the screen. The Fox production is on a huge scale, bringing out the full force of all the situations in- vented by Mark Twain's fertile im- agination, and translating for the eye all the splendor of medieval court life that Twain had described in words. It aroused the greatest en- thusiasm at a pre-release run in Los Angeles. "A Connecticut Yankee" is more than "funny; it conveys an argu- ment of striking force. It sets out to prove the thesis that we are as good as out great-great-grandfathers. It \is the fashion nowadays to talk of the "good old times"; Mark Twain shows us just what the 'good old times" really were like. HAROLD LLOYD COMING. It you have tears, prepare to hide them; if you have cares, prepare to shed them; and if you have trou- bles, prepare to Harold Lloyd is coming. Harold--with his lenseless spec- tacles and ingratiating smile; his shy, appealing manner and whole- some, contagious humor---is com- ing to the Capitol for four days,start- ing Wednesday next, in his latest funfest, "For Heaven's Sake !", to maqe you laugh and chuckle and grin and guffaw and roar at his antics, adventures and thrilling ex- periences as a missionary in the slums of a big eity. Of course, there's a girl at the bottom of Harold's strenuous soul- saving efforts--a lovely and lovable girl, charmingly personified by Jobyna Ralston, who furnishes the love interest #0 necessary to every well-balanced photoplay. UNITED OHUROH COUNOIL IN MONTREAL JUNE 10 It Will Represent Ten Oon- ferences--There Will Be 350 Members Present. Montreal, May 8--When the sec- ond General Council of the United Church of Canada convenes in Mont- real on June 10th, the local com- mittees will have completed detail- ed arrangements for one of the most representative assemblies which Montreal churches have ever hous- ed. Commissioners to council fram ten conferences in Canada and one in Newfoundland will meet to dis- cuss and consider quéstions of orge- nization within the Church, and as a body will approve or reject the recommendations submitted dy four special commissions, which are scheduled to report next month. Three hundred and fifty men and women are expected to report at the opening session of the Council. Newfoundland, the smallest confer- ence, sends only six representatives, the Maritime Provinces §4, Mont- regal and Ottawa 38, and Toronto 58. The representation by conferences is on the basis of one minister for every 18, with an equal number of lay commissioners. The 'business meetings of the Council are to be held in the Ameri- can Presbyterian Church; while the public meetings which are to be held in the evenings will take place in St. James United Church. With such a large number of commissioners at- tending and such a large amount of arrangements to be made, the local committee has a vast amouft of work to do in the month at their disposal.

New Steamer For Gananoque Route The Steanier Champion, a paddle- wheel boat 143 feet long and with a capacity for about 20 cars has been purchased by the Thousand Island Navigation Co., and will go on the Gananoque and Clayton route jn con- junction with the Steamer Fronte- nac. The Champion left Quebec on Fri- day evening under the command of Captain Roy Carnegie with Captain Ross Carnegie as mate, and it should reach Kingston on Mdunday. The new steamer is a handsome boat and will no doubt add very con- siderably to the efficiency of the Thousand Island Navigation Com- pany's service.

Fl § ---- London, May 1.--(By Mafl)-- Descriptions of the Holy City's cele- bration of the death of Christ have just reached here from Lady Drum- mond Hay, who says that the an- clent Via Dolorosa (Way of Sorrow) traversed by Our Lord on His way from Pilate to the cross-- 'tortuous, parrow and steeply ascending' -- provoked easy tear to the eyes of pious pilgrims as they followed, step by step, the painful passage of the Cross. ! Lady Drummond Hay describes a strange service in the Holy Sepul- ahre itself: "Out of the darkness of the night into the dim glow of & myriad peeping lights--ruby, sap- phire, emerald will o' the wisps burning sullénly under a hase of in- conse smoke--appears a train ve.

The police do the only thing to do--force the door back, shutting in for the night many an unwilling prisoner, and proceed to assist in the restoration of atrayed bedding, eatables, and childyen, while the placid mothers lethard gically appease the sucklings. "Haster Sunday morning in the Holiest of Holies----the aim and end of many a perilous pilgrimage in the past, the cherished wish ot Chris- tians throughout the centuries. The cold light of early morning reveals a scene calculated to shock the sensi- || bilities of the least pious. The body of the church, a rotunda giving en- trance to small chapels, surrounds the mausoleum containing the Tomb of Christ. Two galleries run round the dome; the walls supported by pillars, between which temporary wooden boxes, after the manner of painters' cradles, have been erected in tiers, lending the sacred edifice the appearance of a circus. "The hoxes are filled to overflow- ing, so that the thin wood creaks and squeaks as their occupants en- deavor to straighten out their eramp- ed limbs after a night of confine- ment. Mattresses, blankets, pillows hung over the edges, in much the same way as bedding is aired out of the windows in a Continental town. Unchristian Hatred. "Below, standing room only. Weary mothers holding babies, old men, small e¢hildren lMmited to the space of their two feet. Travellers from all quarters of the globe, of strange complexion and foreign tongue, curiously garbed, push, hustle each other angrily, filled with unchristian hatred. The outburst generally comes hetween the priests of different sects, and not until the peace breakers have been arrested is order restored. "No words can describe the scenes of disorder and savagery which take place around Christ's sepulohre for thrée and a half hours. Once in the boxes there is no descending. One ladder serves the lot. Four thou- sand people at least packed in the rotunda, where the air becomes more putrid every minute. The only big door has been shut since nine in the morning, to prevent a rush into the already overcrowded church. About 12.30 the actual ceremony be- gins. The Greek Patriarch, with full complement of priests, headed by twelve banners, makes three tours of the sepulchre. The dense crowd is with difficulty kept back by soldiers and police to make way for the procession. Frantic Crowds. "Suddenly the bells begin to ring «a signal that the Holy Fire is de- scending. As one man, the crowd expectantly gazes upwards, while during their pre-occupation a small, round trap-door in the sepulchre is opened---a long tongue of [flame shoots forth.
