STATE INSURANCE OVER $700,000 premiums to Constitute Liabil ity Fund Are Reaching Vast Proportions i " ' Belief that the j « State Insurance: ? Fund, which will constitute the cash | for meeting liability j I .aHnnIiSWV considerably over < iWW 1111 111" 1 three quarters of a| w % million before the | were expressed at the State Capitol to-day. The amount ©f business offered to the State fund has been greater than expected and there has been a big payment of pre miums In the last ten days. All of the income from premiums has been sent to the Corn Exchange National Bank, of Philadelphia, which ■was designated as the official deposi tory for the Workmen's Insurance Fund and some of the money will be Invested without delay so that money not needed for immediate use will earn. Thus far only one death en tailing liability payment from the State fund has been reported. About the Capitol there is con siderable interest in whether some of the employers who took short term liability insurance from stock or mu tual companies for sixty days will not enter the State fund. The payment of j State fund premiums has run any- i ■where from $5 to $150,000. Opinion Given Out.—Copies of the ! opinion of Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown clarifying the child la bor law on points which had been raised with the State educational au thorities have been issued by the Bu reau of Vocational Education for the I government of employers and school officials.

First of all the Penitents arc shown walking in sol emn procession In rude garb through a land of immense rocks and burning: sand till they come to a natural amphi theater. where they go through the form of crucifying one of their mem bers. Quite in contrast is the scene where Manuel (Orrln Johnson) is herd ing n flock of sheep in a beautiful green valley. An effective touch appears when Manuel spies a stray lair' and picks it up. Then there is a typical ilesta or carnival in which flowers and gaily colored confetti and streamers are thrown over the dancers an<l merrymakers. Most stirring Is the ride of the cavalry to the rescue of Manuel, who Is to be the victim of a crucifixion by fanatical Penitents. They are dressed in picturesque costumes and they gallop at reckless speed over the rough trail and are sesn winding in and out between the rocks and finally swooping down on the fanatics. Just as they are preparing to nail the unfor tunate Manuel to the cross. All these customs were actually true in the early history of Mexico. Manuel, interpreted by Orrin Johnson, with Seena Owen, his sweetheart, supply a wonderfully In teresting romance. Dorothy Donnelly, who will be seen in Pntlie'g screen production of "Madame X." is said to be exceptionally fine in her work, especially in the light of the wonderful emotional work that the part calls iortli. She was the per son selected by Henry Savage to fill the part when it was first put on the stage. An interesting group of animata. call ed Dcßosa's Cat Circus, will be seen for the first three days at the Majest tlc. The act is Interesting because of the fact that it introduces trained cats, which animal is represented least in the line of educated animal acts.

A souvenir will be given to each patron visiting the theater during anniversary week. To-day and to-morrow Da-nlel Froh man presents a faithful plcturizatlon of Denman Thompson's "The Old Home stead," featuring Huff and Frank Losee. "The Old Homestead" Is a rich—and therefore rare—combination of good old-fashioned rural comedy and tlio deepest of pathos. Opening in the peaceful farm country, far from the glare and blare of Broadway, the story takes the Innocent son from this happy abode and flings him Into the maelstrom of New York's life. The pathos and dramatic force of the scenes which fol low is founded upon the most effective of all appeals—heart-Interest. WII.I.IAM FAVERSHAM IX "ONE Mil.
