Dorothy Gish in "I'll Get Him Yet" 'won the heartiest approval of the audience who saw her last night at this theatre when this delightful comedy was shown for the first time. This picture affords her abundant op- portunities for effective work along the precise lines which won her fame as "The Little Disturber" in "Hearts of the World," and her admirers may look forward to seeing their favorite in a typical rdle. The story has to do with a girl of millions and a reporter of decidedly! radical ideas, Dorothy plays the part of the girl and Rioch- ard Barthelmess plays the boy.

ANNUL THE MARRIAGE OF MONTREAL WOMAN Who Wedded Again After First Husband Was Missing Sixteen Years. Montreal, Aug. 5.--After sixteen years absence, James Barclay Moore who married Georgette Bouchard 'on June 16th, 1902 and disappeared a few months afterward, appears in Montreal as a result of which Mr. Justice Monet on Saturday annulled a marriage which Miss Bouchard contracted with Loyis Joseph alias Phileas Laplante in" December 1811. The annulment was granted upon the application of Laplante, based on the fact that Miss Bouchard had pro- duced no legal proof of the death of her first husband at the time of her marriage with him in 1911. Mr. Jus- tice Monet based himself on an arti- cle of the Civil Code which stipulates that the presumptions of death aris- ing from absence no matter how long duration, do Bot apply in the case of.macriage. The husband or, wife of the Ee hu marry again without producing positive proof of the death of such absentee. At the time of the marriage with Laplante there was no positive propf of the death of the first husband 1 "o- duced, and now that there is an effi- davit of ouis William Johnson of 1718 Mance street that he had seen the first husband on the street two LOCAL POLITICAL SITUATION. The resignation of W. ¥. Nickle as federal member for Kingston gave a great surprise to Kingstonians. witen théy read the announcement in the Whig. The first thought this came into the mind was, "What does it mean?' "What is the cause?" The citizens generally were well satisfied with, the -way Mr. Nickle had con- ducted himself in parliament, He had been aggressive, independent, fearless; he had fought with great tenacity for the soldiers, and had equally fought for a democracy in Canada, keeping her free from snob- bery and artificiality. Has his at- titude on these Issues militated against him in powerful circles? This is a question that is stirring the! minds of many people. Has his course precluded him from. positions to which his experfence and intelll- gence entitled him to fill? The city and country is full of enquiries, but 80 far Mr. Nickle is Silent. He says he served the time he intended to serve, and that is all there is to it. In 1937 he acquiesced to the public call in a time of crisis, and having fulfilled his \..rk has asked for re- lief. There may be much more than this in it, but information is lacking. ~The issue now {s to make ready for his successor in the Union government, There are those who say that Gen. A. E. Ross, the sitting member in the Ontario Legigature, is the logical successor to Mr. Nickle. He fs at present overseas, and his friends say that he Bas never referred to Cana- dian politics since he crossed to the front. His acceptance would prob ably be followed by an acclamation, thus leaving a vacancy in the pro- vineial house for which a strong fight would probably be made. Think What You May, You're Probably Wrong Report on the street had it on Tuesday morning that Premier Hearst of the Ontario Government was to retire and that W, F. Nickle, whose resignation from the Federal Parliament was announced on Moh- day, was to succeed him. Mr. Nickle was informed of the rumor by the Whig, but he asserted that there was no truth in it. "1 never heard of it until you told me," sald Mr. Nickle. "Well, that was the report on the street this morning," responded the scribe. 'Hereafter don't you believe ev- erything yow hear on the street," concluded Mr. Nickle, and the advice may be well taken, Various comjectures have made as to the probable reason for the retirement of Kingston's member from public life, but he is saying absolutely nothing about it. ee ie.
