Beautiful Japanese Operetta, From Pen of Sergeant-Major &yE. Harte, Whose Poetry Has Appeared in the { Press. . Ay | Last night was a gala night at the { House of Providence. The event was | the first production of a new Japan- 1686 operetta entitled, "The Enchant- {ed Lily," from the pem~of Sergt.- i Major J. B. Harte, of the armouries. The lyrics and music are particul- {arly charming, and the theme is well | carried out throughout -the entire i It relates 'the story of the | finding of a wonderful lily, the na- i tional flower of Japan, by "O Liu i San," and its subsequent theft by | "Tikioka," a ne'er-do-well, and, ulti- | mately, its restoration. The part of "0 Liu San" was splendidly sustained by Miss Helen Corrigan, who depict- ed the happiness at the finding of the | flower, and subsequently the anguish {at dts loss, Her splendid singing won the hearts of all present. Miss Hilda Willams played the part of "O Yua { San," friend of "O Liu San," perfect- ily, and was charming in songs and |action. Miss Bessie Dolan as "O { Hond San," the mother, left nothing {to be desired. Her beautiful rich soprano voice was heard to great ad- | vantage in the few numbers which | the audience were privileged to hear { her sing, and her stage deportment | was one of ease and ability. Charles | Gates, as "Matinoya,'" the Japanese { florist, was splendid, and his greed {and desire for possession of the wonderful iily -was portrayed so naturally that it seemed in places to remembered that it was "'all in the { play." Luke Gaske, as '"Ayakan," | ithe father, was delightful. His pride | in his daughter's find, and after-| wards bis wrath at the theft of the | flower, was presented .extremely | faithfully. His baritone voice called | forth much favorable comment, As "Tikioka,"- the "bad man," who steals the flower, L. Spence was great. His entrance was always the cue for a great laugh and his erst- while thieving propensities seemed to amuse the audience immensely. J. | E. Harte, the author, as "Takani," brother of "O Liu San," was extreme- Iy good. The entire production was under his direction, and the splendid result bespeaks in no small measure of his ability as a playwright, as a director and a player.: 'The geishas made a great impres- sion on the audience. The costumes were magnificent and the singing was exceptionally good. The musie, under the direction of the sister in charge, was skiliful® and sympa- thetic. The electrical effects, under the supervision of T, G. Brown, were a source of continual surprise. Twinkling lanterns, cres- cent moon; twilight, sunset and dawn effects were magnificent, and the whole scheme must have been most carefully thought out. The rev. mother and the Sisters of Charity at the House of Providence are to. be warmly congratulated on the splen- did production. On account of its unusual success, it is found necessary to repeat the play on Saturday night. The first part of the programme sisted of two very splendid violin se- lections, which pleased the large audience very much. These were foi- lowed by songs by Charles Harvey, who captivated the audience. | Little Miss Marjorie Lyons displayed talent to an excellent degree in "The Sha- dow Baby," and an encore of 'How Marjorie Helped Things Along." -- fp------ Thatial At The Grand. For to-night, Friday and Saturday, the patrons of the Grand are offered a programme of pictures that will be received with pleasure by everyone. Douglas Fairbanks, the daredevil of the screen, appears in his latest pro- duction, "When the Clouds Roll By." In this picture which was produced under "Doug's" personal supervision, the star has introduced enough thrills and 'hair-raising incidefits to make three. or four ordinary pictures. Farce comedy of the best sort with the star's athletic stunts always to the fore sums up this latest picture from the Fairbanks studio. Playing with the above picture there is "Love and the Woman," a five reel World picture, starring June Elvidge and this is one of the best character pictures that this star has produced. There is also a side-splitting Sun- shine comedy. "Wild Women and ' which will complete the bill. The Grand's A I orchestera will offer appropriate se- lections of the latest music through out the run of these pictures.----Advt.

This is (the first time this eminent producer has eyer appeared in a picture, and this initial appearance is made for the stagewomen's ° war relief series, which is a special feature of Grifiin's At The Strand. One of the strongest companies of players ever assembled in a picture production, * appears in-wiFires. of Faith," the splendid massive Para- mount picture which will be display-| ed at the Strand Theatre today. The principals are Catherine Calvert, Eu- gene O'Brien and Ruby de Remer, three of the best known artists of the sefeen world. Miss.Calvert is en as Elizabeth Blake, a woman of the slums, who is reclaimed through the efforts of the Salvation Army and who: does superb humanitarian work at the fighting front in France and wins the love of a brave American soldier. She is beaut!ful and has ap peared in numerous picture succes- ses, but her role in "Fires of Faith" is' said to be the best she ever has essayed. Eugene O'Brien is a hand- some athletic leading man who plays the part of an aviator. , He scaffs at the work of the Salvation Army until he learns the real value of that organization(in world affairs. Mies de Remer plays opposite to Mr, O'Brien, she appearing as a soclety. girl of wealth who joins the Salvation Army and does her bit for humanity at the fighting front in France, The support generally is of the best, the prineipals including Theo- dore Roberts, Herbert Standing, James Neill, Edythe Chapman, Chas. Ogle, Clarencé Geldart, Helen Dun- bar, little Pat Moore, Fred Huntley, George Anderson and others.--Advs. J TYRONE POWER Who will be seen as the "Drainman" An aro ervany tn the House) at the iran pera use, ednesday and Thursday, Feb: 18th and 19th. y ha The Late Richard Uglow: The funeral of thé late Richard Uglow took place from the family residence to Cataragui cemetery on Thursday movaing.
