"Maggie," the delig which was produced a Opera House at two performances on Monday and will be repeated to- night, may be conventional in, its story of a young girl taken from a back yard in Harlem to be the mist- ress of a castle in England, where she finds that true love is lacking and decides to return to the wash tub; in America, 'But the careless abandon of Miss Phyllis Neilson- Terry and the general good humor of the play eliminates any suspicion of time-worn reiteration and pro- vides a charming and vivacious en- tertainment As Maggie Regan, a typleal, happy- go-lueky yet intensely sensitive young lady, Miss Neilson-Terry was splendid, and her presence was a radiant light on the stage. She was ably supported in the leading male role by John Macfarlane, who as Dennis Moran gave an ideal inter- pretation of an unbending and "scrappy" Irish laborer In the minor roles Leopold Stark as Tot- wiler, a haughty cockeny butler, and Arthur Lewis as the Bishop of Bay- chester, a giddy old ecclesiastic, 'de- serve special commendation for their excellent efforts. The whole company, which is by no means few in number, gave grati- fying support, and their efforts were warmly applauded by enthusiastic audiences In spite of its simplicity af plot, the y is quite original, and the plight of the heroine in high | society gives an admirable opportun- { ity for comedy This is amply taken ntage of and one of the most en- | joyable plays of the season is the result { ntful comedy t the Grand The Theatres "Which One Shall I Marry?" { The question "Which One Shall 1 Marry?' is one which offers. itself to [every young woman when she stands {at the cross-roads of life, where she "must make her choice which will af- | fect the future course of her exis- | tence Shall that choice be guided { entirely by a desire for wealth, and the luxury it brings, even if love be disregarded?

Kettering, which is to have its production at the Grand for a special return engagement of one night and one matinee, next dnesday, Feb: 13th. The play is written in the form of an allegory.

Never before 4n the history of the theatre was it needed as it is now. These are war times; the catastrophe that has shaken Europe for three years has brought the theatre and its vast army of workers more into the limelight than €éver before. Never in the world's history was it needed #0 much to cheer and to bring for- getfulness to the stricken people of the earth. Never before was there such need for the service of those that entertain and make merry, and bring comfort to those in sorrow.

J. MoGREGOR BF BR FOR LOSS OF !/ Animal From Kingston--Judg- Was Shipping the Pichborne to ment Based on the Contraet. In the December county court @n action was brought by J. McGregor against the C. P. R. for the loss of a horse snipped by him at Ticnborne to Kingston. On Tuesday Judge Lavell handed down the following judgment: At the trial the jury gence on the part of the company in not providing car with properly protected for the shipment of the mare, and assessed the damages at $150. Judg- ment was reserwed, however, on the question as to whether plaintiff did not exempt the company from lia- bility by a special contract signed by him at the time of shipment. The form of contract used is one approv- ed by the Railway Commissioners, and is very drastic, greatly reducing he chance of success in any action against the railway for los or dam- age of stock carried by it. Judge Lavell has decided that the company railway a suitable modation for freight, and unless (hat is done the there being an umplied founded on the Railway Act that the car supplied shall be suitable. Judg- ment has, thereforé, been granted in favor of the plaintiff for $50 and costs. ENEMY TO RESUME The Germans Threaten Ultim= atum to Trotsky to Accept Their Terms. Amsterdam, Feb. 12.--Discuss- ing the peace negotiations, the Nord Deutesche Allgemeine Zeitung says that to further concessions to the Russians will be permitted. Should the peace negotiations with Ukraine materialize the development of "peace negotiations with Trotzky may be a matter of indifference to us," the paper adds. Vorwaerts says this means that TrotZzky will be confronted with an ultimatum requiring him fully to re- cognize the German demands of Dec. 27, including the question of self-de- termination for the {Russian border people as the German ment conceives it. Otherwise against Russia will be resumed. "We do not know what Trotzky will rbply," says Vorwaerts, "bug if the negotiations -~are 'wrecked, we know the German people will inquire very thoroughly into the question of who is to blame." war Provincial institutions will be en- trusted with the care of the mem- bers of the C.E.F. returned to Can- ada suffering from insanity, but the Dominion Government will pay for their maintenance.
