Although "The Bigamist" is in no sense preéachery, it drives home a tre. mendous - lesion--a ~Jesson which should be 'absorbed by every man and woman---especially married folk with children. It is thie sort of pie- ture for which many beople will give thanks for seeing. It wil help many olk to guide themselves clear of the shoals of demestic unhappiness. It may help others to see how fortu- nate they are in their own content- ment at home. "The Bigamist" is based on F, E, Mills Young's great novel of the same title, It is a George Clark pro- duction, distributed by R-C Pictures and was ditected with great skill hy Guy Newall, IVY DUKE'S CHARM APPEALS TO WOMEN & 3 Most Famous of Screen Beauties In Greatest Role of Her Careetr--Gor- geous Sets--Stunning' Gowns . 1 . ¢ ioe | bore The enchanting beauty of Ivy Duke amid a gorgeous arrfy of scenes and the smart finish of her many gowns make the sensational 'drama "The | Bigamist" coming to the New Martin | Theatre, a photoplay of tremendous audience appeal, Miss Duke, who has heen hailed as the most . beautiful of all cinema stars the world over, is not only pos- sessed of personal charm but she is an actress. of 'extraordinary skill. "The Bigamist" is fulliof strong mo- ments and Miss Donke dominates the action in all of them, In the scene in which she receives a letter exposing her husband as a bigamist she is a marvel of histrionic skill. The various shadings of this unusual character are brilliantly handled by this beauty of 'beauties. Founded on the memorable novel "The Bigamist," from the pen of F.| E. Mills Young, the production is al powerful treatment of a tremendous theme. It was directed by Guy New- all, who plays opposite Miss Duke. "THE BLACK BAG" Local play-goers who attended the New Martin Theatré 1aSt night had a pleasant evening's entertainment watching Herbert Rawlinson, the popular young Universal star, extri- cate himself from a number of dan- gerous situations as the hero of "The Black Bag," a film play based upon Louis Joseph Vance's novel of the same name. This is another of those delightful *"'crook" plays in which the public has learned to like Raw- linson's sunny screen personality. He is at his best in "The Black Bag." The story concerns a young man, spending his vacation in New York, who gets mixed up in the theft of a through trying to aid a pretty girl he has been told has stolen it. The young man sur: prises a burglaf in her home and to save. the gems from the intruder, takes them to his own hotel room, 'whence they are stolen again. There is an exciting water race in which the hero gives chase in a fast motor boat, recovers the necklace and brings back the real culprits, only to be arrested at the doek as ome of them, Stuart Paton, the director, has cleverly maintained the mystery of the story until the very last. In "The Black Bag' he shows tite same directorial skill that marked "'Con- fliet,"" "Man to Man" and his numer- ous other Universal suecesses. *| the concert stage.

Ukrain- fans in Canada are enjoying liberties which their countrymen in Ukrainia know nothing about. But remember that others canie to this country he- fore you.and fought for these privi- leges which you now enjoy." This was the way in which Dr, Joseph Nazaruk made a stirring appeal to a large andience of local Ukrainians in Community Hall, Albert Street, Thursday night. There were ahout 500 present. Dr. Nazaruk is the representative | of the Government of Eastern Gal-| icia (Western Ukrainia) elected by the population, but having ceased to operate since the Polish occupation undertaken by consent of the Peace | Conference. The reception of Dr. | Nazaruk on the platform of the sta- tion Thursday evening was picture- sque. Scores of Ukrainians were there to greet him while the brass band of the Ukrainian Literary| Society struck up the Ukrainian Na- tional Anthem as he stepped from | the train, | Rev. V. T. Kupezynski extended to him a welcome on behalf of alll Ukrainian organizations in Oshawa. A procession was formed and headed by the band proceeded to the Com- munity. Hall, on entering which Mr. B. Shubart offered a loaf of bread and salt, the custom of their native country. Mr. K. Ruzycki presided over the meeting. Suffering Under Poles Dr. Nazaruk pictured conditions in Galicia as they are today, and how Ukrainia was suffering under Polish tryanny. the scene of numerous outrages,' he said. "They are blowing. up our public buildings, destroying rail- roads and cutting off telegraphic communication. They are making it as uncomfortable as possible for those living in the country." In ap- pealing for assistance, Dr. Nazaruk |] stated that in every struggle money was required and for the sake of the liberties which Ukrainians in this country enjoy they should help their own countrymen to obtain the same privileges. Rev. V. T. Kupczynski, in a brief] address, made reference to the un-| happy incident which occurred on] Third Avenue a few days ago when| a little boy sustained fatal injuries by an electric shunter passing over his body. The Ukrainian people in} Galicia were practically in the same situation, he declared, with Polish tyranny trampling over them. Just as the little boy looked to his mother for assistance so were the Ukrainian people looking to the people of this country to help them in their sufferings. Received Subscriptioes { The atmosphere of the meeting| was 80 charged with patriotism that} one Ukrainian handed his purse eon-| taining more than $20 to the] chafrman. Subscriptiens followed. | Among the subscribers were Mr. M.| Rushewsky, on behalf of the Liter- ary Society $100, Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church $100, Presbyterian Church $100 while $300] in cash was collected apart from the| large subseriptions. Appreciate Freedom Among the others who spoke were | Rev. P. Crath, Ukrainian Presby-! terian minister, Toronto, and Rev. J. Sarmatiuk, Greek Catholic Priest: also of Toronto. "It is not the value | of money which we have learned in| Canada," said Rev. Mr. Crath, "but to appreciate freedom, which we! never knew before. Al our political differences are brushed aside when | the time comes to help those in| need." b Just as the addresses were con-| cluded a party of alleged Bolshevists, The Reformer was informed, arrived from Toronto by motor, for the pur- pose of spoiling the spirit of the | meeting and to propagate their) ideas. They fired several questions] at those on the platform but the) attitude of those present was de- cidely antagonistic towards the late: arrivals and the latter beat a hasty retreat. ' FOR THE SAKE OF MUSIC Music may be considered as an art, a professi or a busi In one of these ramifications we arc engag- ed in making a living. Any one of us might be indicted for following our yoecation with too narrows a vi- sion. We teach, perform, or do our business with too much self-centred satisfaction. Music by itself, as a | glorious cause, as a great uplifting power, or as a fountain of, inspira- tion, has mot yet gripped us suffi- ciently. Personalities, methods and what may be termed the vehicles through which music flows, hawe protruded themselves, and we only the weéry thing itself. i This is manifested in the too ob- erally only interested in a musical programme that concerns them or bas aroused their curiosity. How many go to a concert to enjoy music? How many put themselves out to at- tend musical affairs that do not bear some relationship to their pocket- books? How are we to have music our altars? totam pe ------ ------ jer justice.
