The Toronto Telegram hes . the story regarding David the aged man who died in ton General Hogpital on Kenney's Corner" will know him no more. His fellow em- ployees in the Rennie warehouse on Jarvis street, some with almost as long a record of service as Dave's thirty years, looked towards the "corner," where the old man used to work so carefully and methodic- ally and faithfully as they pass to- day, almost expecting to sée the well known figure there, then sud- denly. remember that he had passed on. - Dave Kenney was seventy-eight and a privileged servant of the firm in many ways. The "corner" was made comfortable for him by the addition of a radiator, and they teld in the store" how he would come in of a cold winter morwing after his walk to work--£or he always walked, and scorned street cars and there would sit down letsurely and take off his boots and place them at the heater, and prepare for his task by a thorough warming. '"He was the most extremely me- thodical parceller we had," said one of the firm, "and took great pride in putting up his shipments in com- pact and neat packages, the label must be in the centre exactly or he Was not satisfied. Helpers could never satisfy him, his pride in the quality of his parcels was too great to have it suffer by amateur aseist- ants. 'Take a lesson from Dave Kenney,' was the reproof that care- less ones got in the parcel rooms." The old worker was a privileged character. For many years it was his habit to leave his work for a couple of months in the summer and usually he took a trip to. his beloved Ireland yearly before the war. He lived alone and talked Httie about his own personal affairs. He was {a well-known figure at the public libraries, was well read and fin- {terested in world events.

It's here at last, that great war picture that you have all been wait- ng for. It will* be shown at the Grand to-night and also Friday and Saturday at both matinee and night. The name of this wonderful picture is "Lest We Forget," and it has for its star beautiful Rita Jolivet the world renowned actress and survivor of the Lusitania. It was the actual presence of this talented star on board the Ill-fated steamer when it was torpedoed that made her the logical person for the titular role and her vivid recollections of the details of the tragedy enabled her to give a great deal of material help towards the making of this tremendous pro- duction. Tragie scenes that oecur- red as the mammoth ship went to her doom are faithfully re-enacted and they give the picture a touch of real- ism that would not have existed oth- erwise. Not only has this feature many such scenes of similiar type, but it has also other and more enjoy- able scenes showing more pleasant things that will give the watcher many a quiet smile. Besides this elght reel photoplay there will be the Pathe News and two reels of the very best comedy 6htalnable to com- plete a high class evening's enter- tainment, ---- At Griffin's, When one wishes for a health-giv- ing tonic, one yearns for something to laugh at-as well as admire. Inas- much as pletures in which Douglas Falrbanks, the athletic, smiling Art- craft star, appears, provide both of these desirable elements, it follows that their health-giving qualities are indispensable and of that nature, which no physicians' prescription, however carefully compounded, can provide.
