The carpenters in the employment of the contractors for the Sydenham Military Hospital, walked out on Thursday morning. The men asked for seventy cents an hour and this wage is being refused by some con- tractors. About March 1st the carpenters decided that owing to the great ad- vance in the cost of living they were compelled to look for an increase in wages. 'Everything required to sus- tain life had advanced and not only have prices not declined since March 1st, but have actually advanced fur- ther. : One official of the carpenters' un- fon stated tHat it was impossible for them to suport their families on a wage of sixty cents an hour, It was a misrepresentation to place thé blame for the high cost of living upon the working men, for wages were al- ways the last to advance. When interviewed, George Wright stated that the contractors advanced the carpenters' wages last year from fifty cents an hour to sixty cents. This year they did not anticipate an ad- vance and consequently the contracts entered into were upon last year's basis of sixty cents an hour to the workmen, and the company is, there- fore, not in a position to accede to the rekuest o fthe carpenters for the increase, "Lord and Lady Algy. The star production of "Lord and Lady Algy," with William Faver- sham. and Maxine Elliott in the lead- ing roles, supported by a notable company! will be seen at the Giand Opera House to-night. "Lord and Lady Algy' tells of the marital dif- ferences between Lord Algernon Chetland and his wife... They have agreed to separate because of lack of funds and opposite opinions as to the value of race horses and cigar- ettes. Algy's brother, Quarmby, is infatuated with Mrs. Tudway, the wife of an old.friend of Algy's, Tak- ing advantage of Algy's "bachelor" position, Quarmby, without reveal: ing the identity of the woman, ar- ranges to meet Mrs, Tudway. at Algy's flat. Quarmibly poses as a lamb and Algy gets all the blame, which nearly results in serious con- sequences to the reconciliation be- tween Algy and his wife. Lady Algy however, grasps the situation in time not only to save Algy but Mrs, Tud- way. Faversham's playing is one of the finest pieces of delicate light comedy acting to be seen on the stage to-day.--Advt. At the Strand. Bert Lytell, star of the ' Metro presentation, "Blind Map's Eyes," a strong, dramatic play/of power and romance which will be shown at the Strand theatre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday has reached an @mwiable position in this screen career which is due to hard work and dramatic genius, Mr. Lytell comes of artistic lineage and is an actor by inheri- tance as well as education. His mother and father were both known to Stage fame and his grandfather was J, K. Mortimer, for many years one of Augustin Daly's" most bril- lant stars; He was born in New York but was educated at Upper Canada College. Upon his gradua- tion he gave himself up to drama where he has attained well-merited fame in many successful plays, the latest being "Mary's Ankle," in which the was co-starred with Irene Fenwick, His motion picture debut was made with Metro in "The Trail to Yesterdgy,™ since when he has appeared dn such productions as 'No Man's Land," "Boston Blackie's Lit< tle Pal," "Unexpected Places," '"Hit- ting the High Spots," and "The Spender,' --Advt. S At Griffin's. The name of Henry B. Walthall is an important one'in the motion pic- ture world. It stands for artistry, personal appeal and talents of the highest order. The mere announce- ment thax Mr. Walthall is to appear, in a photoplay is sufficient to fill any) theatre, but when it is announved that Mr. Walthall 's to be seen in a Jeg. H. Ince picture production, and in the case of. "The False Faces," which will Ye displayed at Griffin's to-day, Friday and Saturday, drawing power is doubled. Louis §} Joseph Vance is author of the story; jl which is a second series of exploits Hl involving that fascinating character Hill 'The Lone Wolf," and which ap- H| peared seriglly in The Saturday Kv- | ening Post." The screen version of- entertain- ment that could be devised, particul- Somé time ago i} the first exploit of this story entitled li} "The Lone 'Wolt," and . attracted | widespread interest and no doubt this second series "The False Faces" will arouse deep interests. Henry B. Walthall is the 'hero, and his portray- al of the "Lone Wolf," is as masterly as hij previous creations for the 4, 1 One which best, and i | WALKOUT OF CAPENIES| Miltary Bevs. | its)" Capt.
