"Beulah," the famous novel ol the pen of the great Southern author- | ess, Augusta J. Evans, is the latest literary masterpiece to be filmed, and attracted a capacity house at] Griffin's last evening, where it was/| shown for the first time in this city. | The ¢ast is representative of the fin- est talent of England and America; Henry B. Walthall the rec ognized | leadér of American film stars plays| the stellar male role, while QMiss| Joyce Moore, who has been teMned | "the Bernhardt of the Englisa mo- | vies," essays the difficult part of | Beulah. The novel has heen trans-| lated into nearly every language in| which fiction is published. The story | of Beulah is one which has tugged: at| the heart strings of all. As a story | it possesses the emotional appeal of | "Camille," without the improprie ties of the French work, and,.its character drawings are strongly sug-! gestive of Thackeray's master hand. | Not one jarring or unpléasant note | Gttended the film's first showing on| Broadway. The press and public] were unanimous in their approval, and this picture will no doubt dupli-| cate its original success here. Not; content with offering the patrons of | Griffin's a masterpiece production | such as "Beulah," (he management! has also been fortunate enough to] secure tie latest success of the pop-| ular favorite Vivian Martin, "The Wax Model," 'and this picture was last night pronounced by many roe] ent to be.one of the prettiest and} most charniing seen upon the screen | in some time. Miss Martin plays the | part of the most popular, model in| London, and in this splendid produc- tion she is given a wonderful oppor- tunity to display some of the most | exquisite gowns'of the current mode. i Besides the above feature pictures| there will be sitown the popular Mu-| tual Weekly #hd other good sub-| jects, whica go' to complete a first] class programme in every respect. | This bill will be shewn this evening| and to-morrow afternoon and even- ing. iE DAILY BRITISH _WHIG, 23a | LIOTT WAS WAS RE-ELECTED | THEATRICAL | FOR THE YEAR.

May 4.--Many years ago | A Call to Wake Up. Get out of the leisure-loving class and heed your country's call for increased food production. Cultivate your back garden or vacant) lot. grow vour own vegetables and help relieve the terrible strain on | the regular sources of supply. Remember, famine and world-hunger are on the threshold. While forty, million men are locked in a death struggle, the food crisis must be met by those at home. The empire's untold sacrifices will have been in pe if Germany with its submarines starves Britain. Every 'individual can help prevent this by working the soil. The man with leisure moments, who devotes his time to sport or pleasure, instead of answering the ery for food, is just as disloyal as . the husky young man, fit for fighting, who does not enlist.\ Join the Kingston Garden Club and dd your bit. This is not a fad, but an absolute necessity. We must produce more food.
