THEATRICAL. At The Grand. A crowded house testified to the wisdom of the management of the Grand Opera House in bringing tof this city for #s first showing last evening the al-British film, "Kid- dies in the'Ruins." The production is a splendid successor to "The Better 'Ole,"" and the cast selected by the company for this picture, both "kid- dies" and "grown ups," is made up of screen artists who at all times were surrounded by the pathos and atmos- phere of the ruins of pastoral France. The keynote and plot of the picture was voiced by "Al" of the "Better 'Ole" when he answers: "Wihat is this blinking war about? Why/this war is to save the kiddies, my kiddies---our kiddies." But not only was this film on the programme for there was also the Pathe News, a good two reeler and additional excellent comedy reels that along with Dixon and Bell in an eccentric vaudeville act completed a fine entertainment that will be shown again to-night and also to-morrow both matinee and night, "Pretty Baby." The one or less per cent. of our population that pronounces drama with a broad "a" and that believes the mission of the theatre is,or should be, solely educational, will probably not like the big song sensation, "Pretty Baby," which Jimmie Hodges will present at the Grand Opera House on Saturday, March 15th, ma- tinee and night. On dhe other hand the wninety-nine per eent. who pay meaey to be entertained will say that it is a rattling good musical comedy and one that lovers of good clean wholesome musical comedy should not miss. Amongst the musical comedy favorites of past seacons who will be seen with the big show ave Howard Myer and Bernice La Barr, Edna Jacques, George Twyman, Joe McAnallan, Norman Coudy and the famous Jimmie Hodges' Dixie chorus of sixteen singing and dancing amber | About! given by $25.00 up.

Paris; March 11.--The presence of Premier Lloyd George in Paris is permitting of daily conferences of the premiers of-the powers as a sort of steering committee to direct the course of the main work of the con-' ference. The séssion yesterday was attended by Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd George and Colonel E. M. House, representing President Wil-' son. Premier Orlando of Italy will join the other Premiers to-day, and when President Wilson arrives it is expected that these conferences of government heads will gradually take the place of the eouncil of the great powers, which experience has shown to give too much time~ to speeches. The conferencestof the premiers, on the other hand mre providing an ef- fective organization for the rapid dis- charge of business.
