No doubt there are great person- ages in the procession, and the fin- est band may head the marchers; but the drummer dominates the band. And watch the fierce brand- ishing of his drumsticks! Has anyone ever discovered why he does that--or who started it There doesn't seem any .good rea- son why he should belabor the east side of his drum with an Occidental weapon; but that appears to be cal- led for by the regulations. Who writes the score for the Drum- mer--if there is sach a thing? It must be a weird docuinent that in- dicates clearly the wild gyrations of a pair of drumsticks. Perhaps it is a diagram! Anyway here comes the drummer! The rest of the procession may be somewhere in the rear--but who cares? He struts out alone. Nobody walks beside an accomplished drummer.

Sage For Her Glorious Hai Why wouldn't she be grateful? Why does he act that p More Than 560 At Garden Party Over five hundred people were served at supper at the garden party held on the grounds of St. Gregory's last night. Many of those served in- cluded visiting firemen, and those in charge report a gratifying total of re- ceipts. Besides serving supper the ladies of St. Gregorys Church also had a fish pond, a "country store," booths for fancy work and refresh- ments, etc., in operation. During the evening the Oshawa Veterans' Band furnished a delightful musteal programme while Mr, Seguin also contributed a number. Mrs. C. D. Lacombe was in charge of the "country store', while Mrs. Powers amnaged the fancy work booth. The tables were in charge of Mrs. Donald and the fish pond was in the hands of Mrs. Taillon and Mrs. Cardinal.

AT THE REGENT When Viola Dana, the fascinating Metro star, comes to the Regent Thea- tre to-night, Friday and Saturday, in her new picture called "Seeing's Be- lieving," she will appear in a role that exactly suits her piquant, charm- ing personality. It is just the type of part that Miss Dana plays so well, and her many friends will be delighted with her acting in this new comedy- drama. Miss Dana enacts the role of Diana Webster, a millionaire orphan. Diana and her aunt's suitor are obliged to pose as married when, on their way back to the city, they are obliged fo put up at the town's only hotel. A few days later, when she returns to her home, she finds a friend of her broth. er who had been a®guest at the hotel when she had stopped there. She in- for him that she is not n but before she has a chance to ¢» further, he tells her that he will si guard her "secret." As far as he is concerned, '"'seeing's believing." How Diana plans to involve bh: an equally compromising situation how she is brought into a serious ; dicament when the actors she employs prove to be professional blackmailers. forms a highly exciting play of laugh- ter, love and thrills. "Seeing's Believing," a Harry Be u mont production released by Metro, was adapted by Edith Kennedy from a story. by Rex Taylor. It was photo- graphed by John Arnold. A. F.
