"Thé Honor System™ which will be seen at the Grand to-night and to- morrow matinee and night, will surely provide a treat for all lovers of thg highest perfection in the mov- ing picture art. To quote the words of an Ottawa critic: "Since the birth of a moving picture industry there has been mo nobler ideal em- bodied in a film story than that which is conveyed to the public in Williany, Fox's dramatic feature. "The Honor System'! Apart from the object lesson conveyed, the play is highly dramatic, and is a forcible commentary on the splendid stan- dard which has been reached in mo- tion picture production. Staged close to the Mexican border, the raid on Columbus ds graphically shown, and a very realistic battle is fought between the Americans and the Mexican guerillas." "The Honor System" a massive production, highly dr c, with plenty of ac- tion, something unusual in scenic effects, and it is perfectly screened, To-night and Tuesday night at 8.15, matinee Tuesday at 2.30. "The Only Girl." London has endorsed Victor Ber- liert and Henry Blossom's musical] comedy, "The Only Girl," as the best American Musical play presented there in many years.. It reigned as the most popular'play in London for one year, and three months and was at the Appolo Theatre, with Fay Compton, of the late George Edward's Theatre Company singing the Prima Donna role. "The t|{ Only Girl," among the happiest of the many musical comedies written by Victor Herbert, and a combination of a plausible and clever librétto, with a score as tuneful as any ever turned out by that most prolific of America's greatest light Opera Com-' posers, will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House on Wednesday, i Nowaiber 14th, bargain matinee ad, ght. At Griffin's. ' Pauline Frederick, one of the screen's greatest emotional actresses, will be the chief attraction at Griffin's to-day, Tuesday and Wednesday, in a modern play of love and intrigue, with a tremendous feminine appeal entitled "Double-crossed." Miss Fred- | erick's emotional acting in the scene | where she overheard a detective try- ing to blackmail her husband with a signed confession is superb and up to her . highest standards. Additional good subjects will also be shawn on our. programme, making the. bill, for the first three days of this week equal in all respects to the high standard of excellence maintained at Griffin's at all times. At the, Strand. For the first three days of this week an exceptionally fine feature programme will hold 'the boards at the Strand. Hegding fhe bill is a five reel circus pigture entitled "The Jockey of th, Little Mary Mc- Alister in * Ch en Count," Ga- mounts World's Tours and comedy reels will also be shown. The music in Queen Street Meth- odist church on Sunday was especi- ally fine. A quartette, Messrs. Peitigrew, Haffner, Marshall and Hodge, sang '"The Wayside Cross" in fine effect. Mis, Evans and Mrs. McCallum Sang "The Lord is My Shepherd" at night, Joseph Hodge's bass solo was also very rich.
