LYTELL IN FAMOUS PLAY ,.f
ATREX THEATRE SUNDAY

Bert Lytell will tbe seen Sunday at
the Rex theatre in Metros screen
version of the internationally ia
nous crook drama, Atlas Jimmy
Valentine" from the play by Paul
Armstrong.
TO remark on the nature OF this
play borders on the superfluous, for
it probably Is the most popular and
successful melodramaH written in the
last decade. It was first presented
in the stage in New York, with II.
B. Warner in the title role. and ram
for long, crowded season. The ex-
tended career the piece has had on
the road and in stock companies
needs no comment. =: +.
"Alias Jimmy Valentine is a, role
entirely different from any he has
portrayed in Metros 'fewer and bet
ter series Of special productions. HIS
previous appearances, as the tempera-
mental modiste in lombard, Ltd
and as the supercilious and brilliant
Charley Steele in Sir Gilbert Parker'e
"The Right Of Way" are far removed
in character from the magnetic jail
bird hero, "Alias Jimmy Valentine"
whose name is household word In
America,
To say that the part is one admir-
ably suited to Mr.. Lytell's abilities
rather discounts them for It is be-
coming known that this young Metro
star does not need role tailored to
him. He is probably the one young
male star of the screen who makes
his characterizations individual
makes them different from the con.
ventional type of theatrical hero
Jimmy is a person, however, whom
Mr.. LyteN knows from having por,
trayed him In stock, on the stage.

There has been expression that the increase

living since it is some times the rule that the
better paid servant turns out better work. The
increase in freight and passenger rates may have

Halifax Doing Her
Bit To Forget War
1By The Associated rress,, +,

Halifax, Nova Scotia, March g.
Halifax merchants are doing their
bit to forget the war and to turn
swords into ploughshares.
When the mighty struggle was on,
this city was one Of the allies great
explosive depots. Evidences of the
terrible explosion in the harbor are
still fresh. Halifax usually shelter
ed enough explosives to blow half of
Canada off the map.
T.. N. T was considered the worst
of the lot. This awful explosive was
transportated in tanks The T. N. T.
was used; many of the tanks remain.
An enterprising candy manufactur-
er of Halifax discovered that these
tanks would be used effectively fo,
refining chocolate. The government
was glad to get rid of them at low
figure. The consequence is that To-
cal candy makers are mixing their
sweets in tanks which carries explo-
sives which claimed the lives of thous-
a7lds upon thousands of Germans.

New York Included

New York, March 6.-The storm
king paid another unwelcome visit
t. New York today, just as the city
was commencing to recover from the
effects of the blizzard of a month ago.
For twelve hours, the metropolis
was struck with pelting rain,
drifting sleet storm, and biting snow
squall. As the temperature dropped
steadily during the night the wind in
creased in velocity, until during the
early hours had reached an unoffic-
ial velocity of sixty miles an hour.
The rain which ragged at forty miles
an hour turned into millraces. Sew
ers cloged, cellars flooded, small str
cams in outlying sections over flooded
their banks and roads washed out, and
high tides contributed to the damage
along the water front.

Old Astor Library
To Be Converted To
Immigrant School

New York, March 6.-The Astor Ii
brary on Lafayette street, one of the
show-places of the city a quarter of
a century ago, is to be converted into
a school for immigrants. The Heb
rev Sheltering and Immigrants Aid
Society recently purchased the prop
erty for $325, 900 and is to spend an
other 100000 in alterations. The
building recently has been used as a
storehouse for the disposal Of sur
plus army foods. >
Plans for establishing a thorough
system of education for immigrants
and for rendering aid to them imme-
diately upon their arrival are now be-
ing made by the society. The upper
floors will be used dormitories for
temporarily housing incoming immi-
grants and the lower floors for class
rooms. The plans, which meet with
the approval Of the immigration au-
thorities at Ellis Island, contemplate
q school for citizenship, where immi-
grants may be taught the fundamen-
tails of American history and govern
ment and receive information as to
how and where they can apply for
citizenship.
There is pleasing sentiment alb
out making an immigrant school of
the Astor building" John Il. Bern
stein, president of the society, declar-
ed today. "John Jacob Astor, the
founder of the library, was himself
an immigrant and in his gift of the IL
: brary to the public he stated that he
particularly wanted it to perpetuate
his gratitude for what his adopted
country had done for him. He ex-
pressed the hope that the Astor lib
rary would render aid to all newcom-
'ers to the country. lt seems liz
prophecy that his building should now
become a school exclusively for i'm
migrants"
