lation," one OF the most popular com

ances of his career. This character
has been played for the past 81
years by nearly every noteworthy
character actor. and there are few
stock companies that have not pre-
scented "A Poor Relation in its stage
version.

Priscilla Deans first feature since
''The Virgin of Stamboul,' is to be
shown at the Coliseum tonight, Fri
day and Saturday matinee. 1t is
called Outside the Law" and is the
work OF Tod Browning, who has di-
rected Miss Dean in all her big
screen successes, and who wrote her
latest story as we'll as supervised its
production. From all advance re-
ports it is the crowning achievement
of the popular Universal star and her
author-director.
More than $250,O0O was expended
in the production of "Outside the
Law" and the cast is a roster OF
Who's Who in cinema circles. Be-
sides Miss Dean there is Lon CLANCY
as Frisco gangster, Wheeler Oak
man plays a dapper gentleman crook,
T.. A. Warren a rare Chinese charac-
terizatiOn, ant, Ralph Lewis as mas
ter-gambler; while Melbourne Mac
Dowell, Wilton Taylor and Stanley
Goethals, clever child actor, are
other principles in the cast.
Lon CLANCY will be seen in two OF
the strangest characterizations of his
career in this photodrama. One OF
the roles played by this king of all
character actors. is that of BLACK
Mike" Silva. evil genius of the UNI
derword. The identity OF the other
role is kept secret by Tod Brown

WORST IN CANADA

Quebec, Que, Oct. ga death toll
of more than 80 persons is certain, it
was reported Thursday night, in the
brush and forest fires which are raging
over two widely separated areas in the
province of Ontario and Quebec.
Although the fires, which razed six
mining towns in the Haileymury district
Of northeastern Ontario, are reported
checked timber land in the st. Maurice
valley in Quebec is ablaze, fires spread
ing south and southeast toward this
city and the villages lying north of
Montreal, in which is Canada's worst
conflagratiOn.
Peat bogs are ablaze in the Quebec
marshes. and CASTOR G. Piche, chief
forester of the province, who is direct
ing the government fire fighters, said
Thursday night that even in the event
of heavy rain, it would take days to
extinguish the outbreaks.
Rain Adds to Misery
The vagaries of wind and rain al
ready have added to the misery and
lessened the dangers of thousands in
the Haileybury district.
Hundreds of persons, 1t was learned
here, who fled from Haileybury and the
nearby five towns which were raZed,
were caught between the fires on the
margin of Temagami lake Wednesday
night. The wind shifted, acting as a
natural backfire, only when the mar
rowest strip of land along the lake
shore was left unburned, and many
were overcome by smoke.
Thursday night it was raining. Soft
rains which began to fall during the
morning have Increased to a steady
downpour, which has checked tempo
rarily the fires about Haileybury. The
rain adds to the misery of the thou
sands of homeless, and greatly impedes
rescue work.
Fifteen bodies have been recovered
in Haileybury, dispatches say. These
dispatches were meager, but it is be-
lieved that several of the dead were
victims of panic on the Haileybury
docks in the rush to board rescue
boats.
Other reports from Cobalt state that
II bodies have been recovered from
