 Frank B. Gompert has lived in this NNIley about nine years. He enlisted li the British service in Canada in Aug ~st 1916, being attached to the ar tillery. He rose to the rank of second lieutenant and then was transferred to the flying corps.

Double Bill at the Hip

The Hip presents today a double show Franklyn Farnum in a smart drama of the west, styled Anything Once" and along the line of the modern comedy dramas made famous by Fairbanks. It is a sparkling, snappy, unusual picture with some of the best sort of humor and lots of clever situations and is augmented with the latest find in the camera world, Alice Howell, styled by critics respectively the female Chaplin, and the funniest female in films. She is an acrobat of no mean ability and her stunts are the equal of any of the comedians who from time to time have tried to wrest the crown from Chaplin. She is seen this time in "Neptune's Naughty Daughter" a riot of fun in which she ends the story by attaching herself to a gas jet with intent to snuff out her unhappy lot after the de- parture of her sweetheart with an- other, but she blows up to the size of balloon and goes up through the roof to be rescued by a rifle shot which punctures the gas bag and she descends in one of the fun niest finales ever done in a picture "On Trial" is the Sunday special from the First National Exhibitors ] circuit.

PEOPLE SHOULD BE
 THANKFUL FUR AID
 0PP0RTUN|T|ESN NOW
Thanksgiving Service with
 War Hinge Brings Notable
 Offerings to Charitable Work of Pro-Cathedral

That the people of this nation should not only be thankful for the part they are playing in the world war but should also show thanks for the opportunities offered for service in the war, was the main thought of the short addresses delivered at the Thanksgiving day ser vice at the Episcopal Pro- Cathedral yesterday morning.
 The first speaker was Dwight B.. Heard. who showed how assistance may be given the government by aid ing the Red Cross. He brought out the fact that the Red Cross offered a vast field of work for those who are unable to take part in the actual war work, and for this opportunity the citi- zens of America should be especially thankful
 Warren McArthur, the second speak CT, treated the conservation of food. This is another phase of war work that | offers vast opportunities to those who | remain at home. The last address was on the Y. M. C. A. and it's war work and was delivered by Rev. [. A. Mar quls, pastor of the Presbyterian church. MT. Marquis reviewed some of the valuable work already done by the Y M. C. A. and set forth the great | importance of the work as related to | the moral and social life of the boys in l the service.
 | The services were in charge of Bishop Atwood, who was assisted by Dean | William Scarlett, Rev. J. R. Jenkins and Rev. Bertrand R. Cocks. Special music was furnished by the choir.
 The church had been prettily decor ated with offerings of flowers, fruit and vegetables, which were taken out tc i St. Lukes home after the services. Ar unusually large silver offering was re- ceived and this will be given to the l Associated Charities.

WORK
 FUR NEW QUOTA IN
 ARMY OPENS SOON
Questionaires Will Be in
 Hands of All Men upon Draft List in Few Days;
 Seven Days for Answering

Preliminary work on the new regu lations for the selecting of the men of the next quota for the national army starts Saturday, December 1 The questionaires are to be sent out to every registered man on December 15. Supplies for all this work are being received every day at the of flee of Colonel Fred s. Breen at the state house. As fast as they are re ceived they are forwarded to the different local boards throughout the state.
 According to the instructions on the first page of the questionaire, all the questions are to be answered, the blanks filled out and the ques- tionaires returned to the local boards within seven days from the date of mailing
 According to the estimates made by the provost marshal general, all this work of classifying the registered men of the country will be com pleted within 50 days from December Fl or February 1.
 This is the date on which, or very shortly after, the next call for men for the national army may confi- dently be expected. By that date a large per cent of the men now at the army cantonments will have been moved. according to the belief of army men. The second quota will arrive at the training camps to find everything in readiness for their comfort and will not be forced to undergo the privations and near suf- fering of the pioneers" of the first quota.
 As to the date of the call for the final 15 per cent of the first quota, the local draft officials simply roll their eyes and say nothing They know no more about that date than any ordinary citizen. If the call does not come by December l, the prophets will cease to prophecy.

She depicts the character of a low able school girl, full of mischief whose innocent pranks not only shock the staid mistress of the school. but get her into all sorts of trouble from which she has extreme diff culty in extricating herself. She plays football disguised as a boy and causes no end of consternation when after an exceptionally hard tackle her identity is discovered. She shocks the society folks on the beach when she appears in a smart and chic bathing suit. She nearly upsets the school when she runs away in the effort to reach home before the note which has been writ ten her father advising him of the

wntoIerance at Columbia"


 In the large cities where D. W. Griffith's Intolerance" has played engagements many months long, it is known that many persons have seen this production two or three times and wonderment never ceases at the magnificance, the lavishness and the beauty of this play with its theme of loves struggle throughout the ages. Intolerance" which ap- pears at the Columbia today and tomorrow for the last time may not be compared with any other produc- tion, for it surpasses anything ever attempted or achieved, and therefore is absolutely unique. The cast of principals includes the names of many well-known stars, and tho sands of men, women and children are participants in the action of the four parallel stories relating to in- tolerance in four widely separated periods of the worlds history. It is pretty generally known that the ancient city of Babylon has been re- produced with a realism that is astounding Quite as successful has been the reverential treatment of the reproduction of scenes in the Holy Land, when Christ walked among the people. Then there is the massacre of St. Bartholomew with mediaeval Paris as the setting for many his- toric episodes. However, there is quite as much success in the pre- sentation of a thrilling story of to- day, with a western city of the United States as the locale. A finely trained orchestra contributes import antly to the entertainment.

is conceded to be the best attraction the Redmonds have yet offered us. The story while excruciatingly funny Is at all times consistent and the decidedly original theme based upon the old professors belief that he has discovered the elixir of youth provides a number of new twists that are entirely new in the realm of musical comedy.
 The melody interpolations are de- cidedly good, each number being costumed in excellent fashion and em bellished with novel effects Among the song hits registered will be found, The Mascot of the Troupe" At the Telephone" Where the Nights are Six Months Long" The Shutters Ball." and a number of others.
 Ed. Redmond has in the production of Why Grow Old?" the star comedy making by Myrtle Dingwall, Joe Kemper. Marvin Hammond, Minor Reed Robbie Deane, Billy Cochran, Mae McRae and Eddie Mitchell.
 Why Grow Old?" will occupy the boards for the rest of this week with matinee performance tomor- row afternoon. Owing to the Elks lodge memorial exercises at the 1 theater, no matinee will be held on Sunday afternoon. The regular Red mOnd performance will be given Sun day evening, marking the last pre- sentation of this mirthful play.
 "A Thief in the House" will be staged for the week commencing with Monday evening.
