THEATRES
Monday at Crescent

Due at the Crescent theatre On
Monday next is Charles Jones that
magnetic film star who has made
such rapid progress under the Fox
banner. Few men on the screen
have equalled his speedy develop
ment from the crude to the artisti-
cally finished actor. He has come
to be an ever-welcome visitor, and
report declares that in his new pic
ture Trough Shod," William Fox
has supplied him with a role exactly
to his liking in both action and ro-
nance.
The story is from the pen of
Charles Seller, a master of ranch
life tales, and the leading woman
is Helen Ferguson. a most capable
actress. Others in the cast include
the popular Maurice Flynn and the
petite Ruth Renick. The entertain
ment should be of the most salts
factory sort, with the fine scenic
effects which Fox always gives to
his Western pictures.

produced for Paramount with Betty
Compson in the role of Lady
Babbie,' made famous on the stage
by Maude Adams.

Barrie's birthplace, in contrast with
the famous Rintoul Castle, built
after the style of the old Norman
Castles, with high ceilings, stone
mullioned and loaded glass win
dows, high arches and huge stone
stairways. In the village the homes
of the poor weavers are shown as
wen as the town hall and kirk. The
lookout scenes, taken on top of
Mount Hollywood, also present de-
lightful silhouette studies.
The story is an absorbing one and
deals with the daughter Of a Scot

NEW STYLES CAUSE CITY
FLAPPERS TO WONDER


The following conversation took
place yesterday in Smith street, near
tho ferry, between two fiappers, one
standing in the doorway of a store
and the other walking up Smith
street from the ferry. The CONVEX
sation was caused by the appearance
on the street of a young woman
dressed in one of the new style
skirts extending just a little below
the ankles. The fappers, of course,
wore skirts extending just a little
below the knee.

for a land of great wealth" We have
no excuse for poverty, says one Not
so with India, China and Armenia.
They do have an excuse on their worn
out soils. Do We appreciate u coun-
try, the last and best Of all the great
discoveries? Let us be grateful for
what we have this Thanksgiving sea
son. Be thankful that our Rocky
Mountains are west of US. II these
great mountains were on the New
York coast the land in the Mississippi
and Missouri v~allies, now worth 800
to $500 per acre, would be a desert
worth no more than sc per acre. One
great educator has this to say: This
earth turns from west to east, and the
Atlantic Ocean, as it whirls east, leav-
es the mist and fog behind, and that
falling on the low coastland is waited
westward across the plain. Look at
Australia, her mountains are on the
east side, west of the mountains, a
rainless land fit only for grazing.
Take Africa, her mountains are on
the east, Sahara Desert on the west.
The heart of Asia is a desert, the Pc
kin mountains on the east scatter and
waste the rain. Our Continent is the
only one that has its big snow noun
tains on the west" Emerson, our
greatest thinker, says that America
is a great Opportunity" Did you read,
a short time ago, about a German who
came owe to this country with seven
children. He had an incurable dis
ease, probably contracted in the army.
He had to be deported, ent back to
Germany. Asked if he wished to take
the eve children back, he said
Great God, No! Let them stay here
in this great America where there Is
