1.-THE SLEEP WALKER" AT
THE GRAND TONIC

TIE 1NAND lONANI1A
Featuring Constance Binney, who
will be remembered for her work in
"39 East Groom and Board" etc.
Hernewest picture, entitled "The
Sleep Walker, showing tonight and
Thursday at the Grand theatre is a
light and sanguine romance, typical
of the stars recent offerings. For
the most part it pursues familiar
course with now and then humor-
Gus twist, or a melodramatic feat,
and, once, a real thrill. This last
occurs when the heroine rescues a
baby while walking in her sleep, this
taking place on a window ledge at a
dizzy height. This incident has been
we'll directed and some of the long
shots are very realistic in their sug-
gestion of danger.
Except in this scene the star has
little to do except look youthful and
appealing and in this she is always
successful. Jack Mulhall gives a
vivid performance. The coquettish
widow whose child becomes bur-
den as soon as an interesting sman
appears is clevarly done by Cleo
Ridgely, and the child, a miniature
drama in herself, is sympathetic
bit played by Winifred Edwards.
"Some Class" 2 part comedy
completes the program.

THE TRANSFORMER" AT REX
THEATRE AGAIN TONIGHT

Every artist who acted in "The
transformer" in which Charles Ray
is starred, received splendid oppor-
tunity to make his or her appearance
felt, for Mr.. Ray accorded them ev-
cry chance to do effective work.
The artists were not blind to this
and the result is number of clean
cut performances, each of which
stands out prominently.
Wilfred Lucas, Florence Oberle,
Lionel Belmore, Philip Durham, Gus
Leonard, Lincoln Plummer, Char
lotte Pierce, George Nichols, Blan-
che Rose and Bert Ogord each gave
his and her individual best and there
is not a character in the cast which
can be regarded as weak one4
They were all inspired by the work
Of Charls Ray, by the generous op-
portunities accorded them and the
patient painstaking direction Of the
star.
As Lionel Belmore put it, CYL
never forget about it and when !
talk about the making of "The Barn
stormer" I will always say "them
was happy days"
"The transformer" is showing at
the Rex theatre as First National
Attraction today for the last time.

PRIVILEGE Of Nobility.

Lord Denbigh, whose coat-of-arms
displays, appropriately enough, three
carving knives, is nOminally head-carv-
er to the king of England. Similarly,
Lord Mount Edgecomb is head butler
Lord Abergravenny, grand steward OF
the pantry; Lord Rothes, stirrup hold
err ; Lord Winchester. cup bearer; while
the duke of Newcastle is privileged to
give support to the sovereigns arm
when fatigued by the burden of the
scepter.
TO the bishop of Durham and Bath
belongs the right Of the bestowal OF
the royal person if the king succumb
to fairness. Custom, too, requires
that the archbishop of Canterbury
shall prepare a bowl of soup should
his Britannia majesty require it.

This was Greek to Clay. He did
not know that she had asked him If he
were man who rObs women, and that
she had told him he could get no d.

Clay was already busy with the door.

foot of it he stopped to listen for any
sound that might serve to guide him.
None came. The passage was as
