"The Dichess of Buffalo" NEW MART +" The Lone Wolf "The Countess of Buffalo" Constance Talmadge is coming to town in the picture that thrilled even biase Hollyw ! It is "The Duchess of Buffalo," a gay story of Russia, in which Muss Talmadge has the role of an Ameri- can girl who wins stage fame abroad and plays havoc with the hearts of handsome young officers and wealthy noblemen. The picture opens at the Regent Theatre commencing Monday. . Creating a. sensation in a daring dance before a brilliant audience, the girl attracts the attention of a grand duke, who showers her with jewels. But the dancer is in love with a dash- ing licutenant, and when the grand duke hears of the affaif he has the young officer imprisoned. Constance flees to another city, res solving to sacrifice her love for the officer in an effort to safeguard his military career. Her sweetheart, how- ever, escapes and follows her. So does the grand duke. Masquerading at a grand duchess and leading officials to believe that her sweetheart is her adjutant, the dencer is lavishly entertained. All goes swimmingly until the grand duke sud- denly appears on the scene in the midst of a hanquet--but instead of de- nouncing the girl as an imposter he seizes the opportunity to thrust his unwelcome attentions upon her, Hesitating to openly proclaim that she is not the grand duchess, for fear of leading to the detection of her sweethear, who is hiding from the sol- diers on his trail, the dancer extricates herself from the dilema when the real grand duchess, who is jealous of her fickle spouse, arrives at a hotel, where the denonement takes place in tlie royal suite.

Quebec and the Maritime, and the far west banches conveyed their ideas and suggestions to the meeting by letter. The morning session was devoted to the receiving and adoption of re- ports, which showed the organiza- tion to be in a flourishing condi- tion, and the reading of letters from various governing bodies and the resultant discussions. In the afternoon there were lengthy discussions on a number of contentious matters, including the hasketball situation, participation of junior track: and field athletes in championships, the tourist problem and the representation of Capada in the Olympic games. Upon the recom- mendation of the Ontario branch the W.A.A.F. adopted the ruling recent- ly made by the Ontario Branch, which prohibits a girl athlete from leaving her club, as from November 1 last, without written release from her club in all sports directly com- trolled by the Federation. This rul- ing will have quite an effect in On- tario, where the various associations and the provincial branch have been forced to take strong action.
