QUEEN'S ALUMNI CONFERENCE The Chancellor's Tectureship Was Commenced on Tuesday Morning. The sessions of the Queen's Theo- logical Alumni conference were con- tinued at the university on Tuesday morning. Rev. Prof, Willlam Mor- gan, D.D., commenced the chancel- for's le~tureship which will consist of four addresses. His theme on } Tuesday morning was the idea of religion; and showed that grasp and appreciation of his subject which H}{ bas brought him by his former ef- §}{ forts to an outstanding place in Can- i} adian theological circles. | At eleven o'clock two addresses were given on the pealter. The first was on the and structure of the book by Rev. D. E. Foster, B.A, of Trenton, and 'the second on its plaice in Hebrew life and lterature by Rev. A. V. Brown, B.D., of Picton. The discussion. of the subject was opened by Prof. H. T. Wallace, PhD., of Queen's University. The conference meetings will con- tinue until Thursday. ---------------- RETURNED SOLDIERS W. A.

The Whig learns that the Govern- ment has adopted a definite policy regarding the exemption of medical students, and orders are expected in a few days which wil] mean the total exemption from military service of these men until they become quali fied as doctors. Dr. J. W. Edwards, M.P., made a statement at the Orange concer: on Monday evening which has aroused the ire of certain medical men. The doctor expressed himself as opposed to granting exemption of medical students. A medical officer said to the Whig on Tuesday morning: "It does not matter what Dr. Edwards says, the authority is coming through shortly. The Government realizes-- even if Dr, Edwards does not---that there is the most urgent need for medical men. Undergraduates who went to France under Dr. A. E. Ross were sent back to Canada to com- plete their course, and surety if this was deemed advisable exemption of medical students from service while at the college is a sane idea."

"The ous Literature of the Scottish | Kelt," Address by Dr. Alexander Fra- ser, vincial Archivist, Convocation Hall, § p.m, MARRIED. JLD--On_ Oct. 24¢ 1917 the Rev. J. D. Eins, Mabel Ger- trude, second dam of Mr. Mrs. T. ¥. Avid, Portsmouth, to Lawrence A. Read, of Oshawa, i. by i | { } At the Grand, | That the Selig Polyscape Co. have been successful in their attempts to! visualize Rex Beach's famous story, | "The Spoilers," was evidenced by the enraptured attention of the capacity audience * which viewed it at the] Grand Opera House on Monday even-| ing. i | The story is somewhat melodra-| fatic, but with its many thrills pint tense moments it compels autention, | It breathes the freshness and exub- erance of "lands far to the north | where the action takes place. In that| land which is depicted as a bad and 4awless country where the human emotions. are bared and man takes man as he finds him one can perceive the same fundamentals in "The | Spoilers" that gave to Robert Service | in his songs of the north his place as a portrayer of life as it was and not as a guady representation of what it should be. "The Spoilers' has that freshness of theme which makes it a worthy film to' be shown at the Grand. The same programme will shown on Tuesday night and Wednesday, matinee and night. be on "My Irish Cinderella." Few plays have ever told a pret- tier story or told it in a more simple or unaffected way than does "My Irish Cinderella." Love and adven- ture from the chief fundamentals of the piece and in its composition will { be found every ingredient that ap- | peals to the lover of the drama. The | characters are for the mdst part very | lovable and where they do mot pos- | sess that attribute, they are at least strikingly real. | "My Irish Cinderella" comes to the {| Grand Opera House next Thursday, November 8th, for one performance, 'The play contains plenty of action. i Peggy McNeil is an entrancing char- {acter and she is surrounded by a whole lot of real flesh and Mood peo- {ple who move and have their being { in-situations which, rather than be- ng sftagey are typical of real life. { "My Irish Cinderella" is one play { that you whould make it a point to! | see, for when all has been said and| done, she is one of the most inter esting characters in stagedom and the play itself is one of the stage's| very best. At the Strand. Dustin Farnum was a big attrac. tion at the Strand last evening when he appeared on the screen in Wil. liam's Fox's photoplay, "Durand of the Bad Lands." That Mr. Farnum made in this screen production.was proven by the crowd that filled the theatre. "Durand of the Bad Lands" depicts how a woman's love and a governor's pardon can turn a bad man of the west intp a lovable citi- zen with three little kids. Little i Mary McAlister in "Do Children Count?" and a "Musty Suffer' com- edy also held the boards, and were well received. This same pro- gramme will be exhibited again to. i night and Wednesday. At Griffin's. ' The audience at this popula~ 'house last evening was treated to an exceptionally meritorious pro- gramme which is headed by inimit- able Elsie Ferguson, latest recruit from the ranks of the. speaking stage, in a brilliant photo drama of | the Algerian country entitled, "Bar. bary Sheep." Many fascinating scenes are shown with true Algerian splendor, conceded to be one of the most beautiful women on the Am. erican stage to-day. Bisie Ferguson loses none of her charm on the screen. In this her first Arteraft [ picture, her rare personal charm is faith y reproduced by the camera, and her popularity of stageland will | more than be duplicated on the screen. See it to-night and to-mor. row at Gritfin"s. Adam Couldn't Swallow These, Joseph Welsh, Howe Island, wae a visitor at the Whig office on Tues- day morning and brought in four huge apples which te grew on his farm. They were of the "wealthy' variety and were about five inches in diameter. They were the biggest Hi specimens that have been seen in the City for many a day. Dr. Edwards To Run. Dr. J. W.
