At the Grand to-night William Farnum appears in the first of the Fox special features entitled "A Tale of Two Cities." This is a lasting pic- furization of Dickens' immortal story. William Farnum appears in the dual role of two distinct personalities; Darnay, the sauve and silent aristo- crat; Carton, the rum-wrecked gen- uis, abased to a gutter hell by his sloth and his appetite, This is by far the best work' that he has ever done and it will leave a lasting im- pression on all who witness this superb production. The supporting cast includes such well-known. favor- ites as Jewel Carmen, Charles Clary, schell Mayall, and Marc Robbins. Three clever musicians, Dolly, Ben- nett and Young, that versatile trio, offer one 'of the best vaudeville acts seen here in some time. = The latest Pathe News and comedy reels com- pleie this exceptional bill for to- night and Friday and Saturday ma- tinee and night. Coming: Sarah Bernhardt in "Mothers of France." annp------ At Griffin's. Lenore Ulrich, who plays all dés- criptions of exotic characters from Hawaiian, Mexican Algerian, and In- dian maidens to assorted types of, Or- jentals, has returned to the well- known American Indian for her new- est characterization. "Her Own Peo- ple" is the title of Miss Ulrich's la- test Pallas-Paramount picture, which will be seen at Griffin's to-day, Fri- day and Saturday, and in this, as the name indicates, she is moved to scorn the wiles and deceits of the lowly white man for the noble-minded red man, but there is one redeeming character among all the scheming white trash, whose single-mindedness of purpose in making love to the girl finally influences her to change her allegiance from red to white. The yet produced," "'Patria,"" with Mrs. | Vernon Castle in tune title role, will also be shown on the same bill, and bids fair to eclipse the first episode in every partielar. The usual act of high-class vaudeville and the inter- esting Mutual Weekly winds up a most entertaining programme. The "Masque of Life." "The Masque of Life" which plays at the Strand Theatré, Friday and Saturday, is a film so absolutely dif- ferent from those common to Am¢ erica, that it is hard to class it as 'any one particular variety of pro- duction, Most people would call it a spectacle because of the tremen- dousness of its scenes, and the ob- vipus way in which excitement is created by the very magnitude of the situations, The main story is & ro mance--that of a young girl with whom a prince falls in love. They man's father puts t prifice on the throne and blocks Wig proposed mar- riage to the pretty little circus girl From a diplomatic standpoint he fis forced into a marriage with one of royal blcod and becomes a father. He believes his little circus sweet- heart to be dead, and does not meet her again until the moment when she rescues his baby from the top of a 360 foot chimney, where it had been taken by a crazed circus chimpanzee. Throughout the entire seven reels of the film there arg spectacular inci- dents, and the story increases in Its power, bringing the film to a close logically at the last moment, "Fatty" Arbuckle in "The Bright Lights" and Helen Holmes in "A Lass of the Lumberlands" will also be shown. Fell in Action. The many friends of Mrs. M, E, Shannon, widow of the late Christo- pher Shannon, Estevan, will learn with regret of the death of her eld- est son, Charles William Shannon, who died April 13th of wounds re- ceived in action at Vimy Ridge. .

He was a mechanic, having worked at his trade in the garages in Estevan, but he gave up his position in life and willing responded to the call of his country, enlisting in the 152nd Bat tation.
