THE DAILY BRITI a re------ Theatrical ~~ | Coming to the Grand. The 'Toronto Globe has the fol- lowing to say about Mildred Leo Clemens and her native Hawaiians who come to the Grand Opera louse, October 7th, 8th and 9th, with a daily matinee and evening performance : In these days of vau- deville and moving pictures one al- most forgets the old-time illustrated lectures that made Chautaqua al- most a household word throughout the Northern States and Canada. The Chautaqua lecture still survives in the country districts, and one of the most charming, relaxing and en- tertaining seen here for a long time commenced an engagement continu- ing this week at Massey Hall last night. The subject is "Rambles in CLOTHES ECONOMY HERE Livingston's Good Clothes Lots of men who tried to save money NN RN y A by buying cheap of Mark Twain. The lecture is large- ly Miss Clemens' own creation, and the richly-colored views are scenes selected 'by herself on the island Famed as Hawaii is for its scenery, to hear stories of those beauty spots clothes last season, will economize by paying enough to be sure of good clothes this fall. "Good Clothes' de- scribes place Advt, gives At the Grand. Warren Kerrigan, one of the most popular stars on the screen to-day, will be seen at.the Grand to-night and Wednesday, in his latest release "A Burglar For a Night." The play is a story of big business. A young American burglarizes the safe in the home of one of his father's enemies, to get a secret agreement between prising our fine as- two of the men who are working for his father's downfall.

There are reels of comedies and other sub- jects and a special musical pro- | gramme by the Grand's orchestra, | This bill will be seen to-night and | Wednesday only.--Advt. | At the Strand. i A photocomedy that made thirsty folks thirstier; dry folks drier and that gave everybody a corking good | laugh--such is "What Happened to | Jones," the Paramount Artcraft pic- {ture starring Bryant Washburn | which was presented with great suc- cess at the Strand Theatre yester- | day. "What Happened to Jomes" is a George Broadhurst stage success | of doings in a dry town. It was ad- apted for the scréen with an eve to the timeliness of the subject. With Bryant Washburn doing the honors this story of "bootleg," booze and reformers, provoked gales of laughter. There is an excellent cast in support of Mr. Washburn. Margaret Loomis, who made such a | | hit in "The Sins of St. Anthony," is | | again seen as leading woman. As "Cissy" Smith who helps Jones out! of some difficult scrapes, Miss Loom- is assists materially in the -laugh-! making. Richard Cummings has al laughable bit as a bootlegger, and | J. Maurice Foster, Lillian Leighton | and Caroline Rankin are also seen. | The latest episode of the "Silent Av- | enger" featuring William Duncan | and a two reel comedy "By Golly" | with all star Mack Sennett cast, Top-| ics of the Day which is .a feature in itself were also seen. Luke Gask | rendered two very fine songs and | ry] Anderson Bros. Limited Wanted was encored. The Strand Concert Orchestra, under the able leadership of Miss M. W. Telgmann, delighted the Strand patrons with the playing of the latest music including the 'Maid of the Mountains" and other special numbers.--Advt. At Griffin's. Tom Moore's latest Goldwyn pie- ture "Lord and Lady Algy" was last night and proved immensely popular with the audience. The story concerns the betting proclivi- ties of Lord Algy, who has promised never again to wager on the races. But when he breaks his word to his wife, they part. Lady Algy, how- ever, keeps a watchful eye on her husband's activities, and learng that he has bet everything he owns on the chances of his favorite race Subsequently she learns that a dark horse is the fastest animal entered in the race and bets her private for- tune on the result. When the race is run, Lord Algy's horse loses, but his wife's horse wins. In this way she saves the family fortunes and wins her husband's promise to dis- pose of his racing string and never ,again to frequent the tracks.

On all sides the remarks were heard that the manager of the fair was a hustler, and that it could not fail to be better than ever before. There was not the slightest doubt of it, because "Bob" was behind. it and had not the Fair been bigger and better each successive year that he was manager? It was a foregone conclusion that crowds of a size nev- er before seen in Kingston would attend the big exhibition. The week before the big show was a sample of the perfect weather which some- times visits the St. Lawrence Valley to lull the fears of the people before a storm. Almost to the day of the show we had fine, warm days. Then old Dame Nature turned around like the vixen that she some- times can be and whirled all the winds and the rains of weeks right at Bob Bushell's Big Fair. This only made him all the more determinel to have the last few days of the fair a bigger success than ever and he worked even harder than before. But the rain had come to stay and the Big Show was practically ruined. There were two or three other little things that made the going harder, but they would have amounted to nothing if the weather had not been so unfavorable into the bargain. The result of the whole thing was that the fair, financially, was pra¢- ically a failure. The exhibitors had arrived and people displaying or giv- ing shows on the grounds had to be recompensed. The directors of the exhibition found themselves in a hole. In this emergency they deter- i mined to pay one hundred cents on the dollar, and to do that out of their own. pockets, trusting in the future of the fair to repay them. For the people's part of it, we hear on all sides expressions of sorrow that the fair had such hard luck Manager Bushell is stopped every in LE TTI SH WHIG. ae --- SHO EOE OO few steps by some kind-hearted citi- = zen who wishes to tell him how sorr he is.

It is up to the rest of us to follow the example of | Dr. Bell. The Kingston Industrial | Exhibition is one of the big things of | Kingston. It must be a success in the future. How much easier to make it a success when it has a reputation far and wide for paying one hundred cents on the dollar, no matter what straits it may be in, nor what hard luck it may have had. Those men who will be recompensed will tell it TE dustrial Exhibition gives a square deal and will come back again, bring- ing others with them. It is necessary sary for the good of Kingston. The fair is yours as much as the direc- tors. Therefore do not leave them to bear the whole burden of carrying it over the rough places. Show your appreciation of their work and their gameness against olds by something more then words. unless | you write those words on a healthy- looking cheque. "How sorry are you?" Geographic Decisions, By a decision of the Geographic Board of Canada, a mount at the. head of Clearwater river, Alberta, has been named Mount Malloch. af- ter George Malloch, geologist. son of the late Dr. A. E. Malloch. of Brockville and Hamilton, who mapped the area overlooked by this peak and afterwards perished at Wrangel Island in the Arctic. Morris Island, in the Mississippi river at rapids, is named after the late Hon. William Morris, of Brockville, who served on {the Board of Commissioners of Public Works in 1844-46.
