Hazel Dawn, one of the favorite ae] tresses of Kingston picture fans, is seen in a novel modern photoplay drama, "The Saleslady." In this picture Miss Dawn is seen at her best as the subject gives her wide scope for her many talents. A two-reel Universal photoplay, "On the Level," | a comedy picture, 'Scattered Nerves," and the Paramount Travel series, | showing the beautiful cities of South! America, were also shown and prov-| ed .excellent entertainment The | vaudeville is the best seen in the city] for some time.

"The Habit of Happiness," the 5-! act Triangle play, featuring that | peerless 'screen and legitimate star Douglas Fairbanks, headed the bill at | the Strand last evening. The stor¥| !as the name implies shows Fairbanks | i very many funny scenes, teaching! people how to form the habit of be- ing happy. It is one of the choicest and wholesome comedy dramas ever shown here and will repay anyone who makes it a point to visit the Strand during its stay here. The 2- part Keystone, "A Bathhouse Blund-,| er," and other good subjects complet- | | ed a bill that pleased all. The same programme will be repeated again to-night and at the Saturday shows. At Griffin's, "An Alien," in nine acts, George Beban is featured .in this nine-reel photo drama. The story is adapted from the famous vaudeville act, "The Sign of the Rose.' Phil Griswold in- duces his friend, Robbins, to steal from his employer in order to fitiance a night of revelry in celebratign of the reading of the will of Griswold's father. Next morning Robbins' em- ployer plans to start for Europe and the stolen money must be replaced. Griswold in the will of his father is left penniless, and finally appeals to his elder brother, William Griswold, but on being refused a loan and hav- ing noted the visits of an Italian, Pietro, to the home of William, he is | led in desperation to write a black hand letter, demanding ransom for Dorothy Griswold, whom he kidnaps Dorothy's father immediately sus- pects the Italian, who had called and lays a trap for him in his flower { shop. At this point the film version | of the vaudeville act, with which | everyone is familiar, is brought to a gripping climax on the screen. Lake Ontario Park. Again the two entertainments at Lake Ontario Park last evening were largely attended, and enthusiasm was manifested by the crowd. Among the pictures, "Minnie, the Tiger," pictured human power over the terror of the jungle, while "Her Stepmoth- er's Children" was a very amusing comedy. In 'the vaudeville "Little Allright," the Japanese comedian, gave some very interesting stunts, dis- playing his adeptness in his art.
