Every garment has been carefully chosen from the best manufactures and are correct in every detail of style, workmanship, fabric and trimming. Important is the fact that prices are based on the actual value of the garments ind not n any fanciful conception of the of novelty or extlusiveness. : on At the Grand. Williamd, supported . by Grice Darmond, was seen at the Grand last evening by a capacity house in his latest Vitagraph release j entitled > was a straight drama of the society type, with_some well-timed interpola- tions of heart interest, pathos and re- freshing humor. Other reels on the programme were the Pathe News, a particularly funny comedy, and a good Op Henry story, besides the vau- deville act which consisted of the Lacklands in their western roping act that was a novelty well worth see. ing. This bill will be repeated for the last time to-night. Le For Friday only Mrs. Vernon Cas- tle will be seen in a five-reel Pathe feature, "The Hillcrest Mystery," and the name alone ought to be enough to draw people to the Grand to sat isfy their curiosity as to what the mystery was. There will also be the Pathe News ,a Lonesome Luke com- edy , and three other exceptionally good reels An act of attractive vaudeville will complete this bill that will be shown for the one day only, as "Turn to the Right" will hold the boards on Thursday evening, while that mighty spectacle, "Everywoman," will be the attraction on Saturday, both matinee and night, Earle "Turn to the Right." Tears and laughter are the main ingredients of "Turn to the Right!" the sensational comedy-drama success which Winchell Smith and John L. Golden will present at the Grand Opera House on Thursday evening, Sept 5th, with its original Broadway cast and production, exactly as it ran for a year at the Gaiety Theatre, New Rork, and George M. Cohan's Grand Opera House, Chicago Though it bristles with bright lines and ingeni- ous situations. it never approaches the horder of farce. The wholesome heart interest so typical of Winchell Smith in his "Brewster's Millions," "The Fortune Hunter," and "The Boomerang," is much in evidence in the story of the regeneration of two nimble-witted young crooks--Muggs and Gilly, at the hands of the saintly old mother of their pal, Joe Bascom. When Joe raakes his appearance at the Bascom homestead, closely followed by Muggs and Gilly,the town skinflint is about to take the little farm from Joe's wid: owed mother and his young sister for non-payment of a $135 grocery bill. The situation calls for quick action, and the farm is saved by means most ingenious, if not entirely honest. Then comes the harvesting of a bumper crop of peaches and the formation of a syndicate fo exploit a toothsome variety of peach jam with which "Ma" Bascom has won local renown. Suc- cess attends the venture, and the last act finds the members of the syndi- cate enjoying the full fruits of their enterprise and honesty--most conspic- vous of said fruit being one village belle each. "Everywoman." Henry W. Savage's big production of "Everywoman," the most talked about of the last decade's productions, will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House on Saturday, Sept. 7th, matinee and night. This is an en- gagement extraordinary, and the pre- sentation of "Everywoman" has been looked forward to with particular in- terest. One of the principal characters in the play is that of Beauty. Beauty is the constant companion of Every- woman in the proper days of her Youth when her life is properly deco- rous. Later, when she meets Flat. tery in her mirror and decides to set forth upon a quest for a fabled King Love, Beauty accompanies her. She remains her companion until Every- womah takes up with Dissipation, when at a midnight orgy, in her sump- tuous apartment, beneath garish lights, to the accompaniment of bub- bling wine, Beauty sickens, fades and dies. "Everywoman" unites drama, comedy, ballet, opera, splendid sgen- ery, magnificent costumes and hogts of pretty girls. The play is given i five centicles or acts, and one of them takes place on Broadway, New York, at midnight upon New Year's eve. The company of 100 persons in its \Jety is in this scene, which has become world famous. Other scenes represent the home of "Everywoman™ before she starts upon. her journey; her gorgeously appointed banquet sa- lon and the stage of a metropolitan theatre when it is dismantled for re- hearsal. At Griffin's, Splendidly produced, its story dra- matic and absorbingly interesting, "The Firefly of France," the new picture starring Wallace Reid, is in every respect an .exception- al photoplay. In the characterization of the wealthy young American who goes abroad to join the Ambulance Corps, Wallace Reid has a role which proved highly acceptable to his clien- tele of admirers in this city. ' The work of an jntrépid birdman forms the basis of a story that sets the blood tingling, and makes one of the most interesting pictures that has been seen here in many weeks. This excellent picture will be giv- en a final showing this evening, as will also the other interesting fea- | tures of our programme, which In- | cludes a delightful Mary Miles Minter pletur® entitled "Peggy Leads the Way," and a most unusually thrilling episode of "A Fight for a Million."

The Montreal Transportation Com- pany's barge Hilda broke away from her moorings Tuesday night and drifted toward the LaSalle causeway and would have made havoc of the Kingston span had she not caught on the ledge of rock running out from the shore.

Last month the lift leaf was damaged. Unless greater care by vesselmen is taken to prevent such accidents, ser!- ous injury to the bridge will result involving the interruption to traffic over the bridge and navigation, FROM ITALY TO TURKEY.
