Stuart Walker's production of {Booth Tarkington's "Seventeen | {comes direct from a year's rum in Nw York; Poston-and Phi 1 to the Grand Opera House to-night. The play is a dramatic version o | Tarkington's Willie Baxter stories {and might well be called a comedy | of "Clothes and the Girl," for it deals | with the attitude of a seventeen-year- i old boy foward these important mat- | ters. With rare skill Mr. Walker has | transferred the Tarkington story to ithe stage, giving all the bubbling | spirit of "youth and love and sum- | mertime" by a delightful cast of | young people. Elizabeth Black brings | to life the ten-year-old villain, Jane, | and Lael Davis has made the fluffy | "baby talk lady," Lola Pratt, the talk of all who 'have seen "Seventeen." | Judith Lowry upholds the banner of | the grown-ups in the cast by her por- | trayal of Willie's and Jane's much- | tried mother; Louis John Bartels as | Genesis, the household servant; Ald- i rich Bowker as Mr. Baxter; William Belfort as the harassed Mr. Parcher, and a host of lively young people complete the cast.--Advt. "Pollyanna" Coming. Not in years has so much genuine heart interest centred in an Ameri- can book or play as is now directed toward "Pollyanna," which comes to the Grand Opera House on Friday and Saturday, May T7th-8th, with a special matinee on Saturday, with an excellent cast assembied by the Pollyanna Producing Company. The play goes with the spirit of glad philosophy. Pollyanna, a young girl, the orphaned daughter of a western missionary, has gone to live with a crusty maiden aunt in the city. The aunt did not desire heér, but through her persistence In play- ing what she calls "ths glad game." Pollyanna not only won the heart of her aunt, but transformed all the grouches of the town. "The glad game" is simple. The player simply tries to be glad over everything; it matters not what happens.--Advt. . "Red Riding Hood" Coming. "Little Red Rideag Hood," the | fourth of a series of English panto- mines imported to this country by F. Stuart-Whyte, the noted British author-manager, will be the offering at the Grand Opera House on Mon- day and Tuesday, May 10th and 11th with a special matinee on Tuesday. Mr. Whyte has established a reputa- tion for gotgeous musical shows that has placed his offerings in a class by themselves. This has been made possible largely by his being on the ground daring the demobilization of the Im- perial troops and women war work- ers, this summer in London. Desire on the part of many former panto- mine artists to see the country which sent such wonderful fighting men overséas, helped greatly in getting their signatures on the contracts for an extended tour of Canada and the United States.--Advt, At Griffin's. Owing to the unprecedented rush for seats to see! "The End of the Road" during the first three days of this week, the management of Grif- fin's Theatre announces that this re- markable picture will be shown Thursday, Friday and Saturday, mat- inee and evening, purely for the bene- fit of the large number of patrons who have been unable to see it. This wonderful picture while entertaining to the highest degree by reason of its elaborate setting and the superb acting of the beautiful Claire Adams and Richard Bennett, supported by a star cast, fulfills all that was expect- ed of it as a medium for educating thé public respecting the greatest curse that rests upon the human race to-day. It has the endorsation of Un- ited States Public Health Service, and was produced originally for the War Department Commission. Nowhere else can men and women get so deep an insight into the great problem of venereal diseases that are casting a blight upon the health and happiness of humanity, irrespective of wealth, station or condition. It is a subject full of tremendous importance to everyone, and shows in a most real istic way the criminal folly of "tread- ing the primrose path" that leads to despair and death. It bears, too, a m to mothers, fathers, daugh- ters, sons---a message of the hour that none can afford not to hear without pursuing the path of .blind ignorance that is full of pitfalls for all.--Advt. At the Strand. A motion picture that ranks with the most beautifully and extravagant- ly screened spectacles of all times, will be shown at the Strand Theatre to-night when "Everywoman will be shown. No expenditure of artistic effort or money has been spared in making the film version of this fam- ous alegorical play pleasing to. the eye and the cast has been selected in thorough accord with the magnificent (LADS: PLAYED - "HOOKEY" ' ONE WILL BE GIVEN TASTE OF i OCAT-O'-NINE TAILS.

Taught to the tune of a hickory stick. | Boys who play '"hookey" from schoo! will not get the old-fashioned hickory stick, but will get a taste of the up-to-date cat o' nine tails at the hands of the police. 'Three youngsters, who got tired of their studies and started in to be their own boss, were arraigned be- fore Magistrate Farrell, in the juven- ile court, on Thursday morning. An- other lad should have beef present, but he managed to give his father | the "slip" while the two were on their way down to the session of the court, It happened in thie way. The father had to go into a store to see about a hat he wanted to have cleaned. As he was explaining to the man behind the counter what he wanted done, the boy wag at his side, but as the father turned his back for a second, the youngster bolted for the door, and up till the time of the hearing of the case had not been located. He will be brought before the magistrate just as soon as he is corralled. He is a lad who has given his parents a great deal of trouble. In regard to the three who were before the court, the magistrate re- manded two until called on, and in the other case ordered that the lad be given the cat-o'<nine tails.
