Mr.. and Mrs. LEVINE, are two quite
clever musicians who give an informal
and varied evenings entertainment
One feature is the talk to the audience
quite Familiarity and personally (not

tion to be rendered and about personal
experiences relating to it. While this
can easily be carried SO far as to re-
pei the staid and sturdy mind of the
average listener, nevertheless we feel
tha 1t was a step in the right direction.
Music has too long been snobbish,
highbrow sort Of thing, rather than
the universal everyday language Of the
everyday emotions. Let us hope for the
time when to whistle or sing at our
work or on the street, or in our social
or business gatherings will be consid
cred quite the proper thing. And let
us realize that underlying all of the
masterpieces is a little idea or emotion
that is common to us all.

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICALE.

The music department of the high
school is planning a mixed program to
be given at the High school auditori-
um, Tuesday evening, February 10th.
This will include numbers by the band,
orchestra and chorus together with
solos by several talented high school
pupils. BY way of diversion a few
special features will lbe introduced.
This is the first concert of the school
year, and an effort will be made to
have 1t meet your approval, so that we
may merit your interest in future pro-
grams. We hope to develop our bands
orchestras and glee clubs sufficiently
that they may function not only in the
lives of the individual members, but
in the social life of the high school
and Of the city. Education for service
is the sort that everybody is talking
about nowadays. We hope to do our
bit toward helping the oncoming gem
Grafton to get little more enjoyment
out of life, by helping them to tnue
their voices and instruments not only
for themselves but for others

HOLMAN DAYS
"THE RED LANE
is HERE TODAY

There has never been another story
like THE Red Lane" There proba :
bly, will never be another, for the
picturesque life of the St. John river
valley is rapidly passing away be-
fore the march of modern progress.
Yet THE Red Lane" will preserve
for all time the real story of that
wonderful region on the border be-
tween Maine and New Brunswick
and Quebec. 1t will be presented at
the Colonial theatre today. SO great
is the fame of the picture and so
many thousands of people have read
the absorbing story by Holman Day
that il is certain the capacity of the
house will be tested. 1t is extreme
ly advisable, therefore, that those
who can attend the matinee today
for it is certain there Will be stand
ing room only tonight.
To say that The Red Lane" is a
beautiful picture is just touching
the edge of the real merit it dis
plays. 1t is damned full of human
appeal. has a truly gripping heart
interest and situations that are thrill
ling. The story sweeps one along il
reSistibly to a grand and satisfying
climax.
Frank Mayo, one of the finest and
most capable actors on the screen
Will be seen in the role of the hero
customs officer who not only attends
to his manifold duties on the border
but breaks up the gang that attempts
the kidnapping of the daughter of

THE Red Lane" is one of the few
pictures about which a lot may. be
written, but it is sufficient to say
that it meets all expectations and
reproduces the famous Maine story
as it should be told.
Another feature on the Colonial
program today will be The Cling

tional News film will also be pre-
scented. 1t is a bill hard to equal and
