Ann a in Letters to the Editor The G.W.V.A, Tag Day. Kingston, Oct. 14.--(To the Edi- tor): May I have the privilege through your columns of correcting any erroneous impressions that may ' have been created by the slurs aga- inst the G.W.V.A. in recent reports through the press. These have had their source from the commandant While the press does not give that worthy (?) gentleman's full remarks, it is well known that he said he had on his membership roll eighty per cent. of the returned men of the city. This I take to mean that he has from 1,600 to 1,800 fully paid-up mem- bers. Mr. Editor, I challenge this statement and would ask thai com- from city council be sent up 20 have the evidence of proof pro- . duced. As 1 8 of the Army and Navy Veterans. Ne . repregenting eighty per veterans in- this city, I ate that at the A. & N. V. gen eral meeting held Monday, Sept. 27th, there were exactly twelve vete- Tans present and this included the osommandant. Can any one in full Possession of faculties say the wor- thy gentleman represents veterans of Kingston ? If so, the veterans are not sane, That gentleman made the asser- tion to council on Monday night that the G.W.V.A. was out to put it over him on every occasion. You are very correct, Mr. Commandant. Over you, Yes, but not over the v of the Army and Navy. But even at that we . have our doubts about being able to do it. We are to be complimented it we have done so. Do you not think Bo! What do the people think about it > Of course he refers to.thie World at Home Shows which were a credit to our association. I challenge the commandant to a public meeting at y city hall to prove his assertion about anything being put over him during the past six months by the local branch of the G.W.V.A. Our as- Sociation has tgied to mind its own . business and can. find plenty to do ~ without meddling with any other or- ing for an encore. Something of the impersonations | wos-begone expression of the luckless were many and varied, and she played & different one every week if not every Louise of the Films was visible in her plight and her eyes "registered" thelr She applied at a mo- now gelebrated starry fright, . < rem seca -------- ah ganization, or with such business as international politics. Even a battle cruiser on the St. Lawrence would not bother pur assoefation very much. That is the business of the dominion government. Our business is to look after the veteran and the dependents of the comrades who gave their lives for freedom. A word about tag days. Permit me to tell the public that our local or- ganization was granted permission for a tag day to be held on Saturday, Oct. 2nd, 1920. This date was later given over to the General Hospital, and we were asked to select another date. We did so, and submitted the same to the city clerk. Full arrange- ments were made for this date and at the last session of co cate is upset and we are put off a further two weeks. Why? members of council were not given all thé information concerning the matter. Because one side of a story is heard and the other side not given an opportunity to explain. We bave Io cause for complaint. Oh! Nof Why were we not asked to send a deputation to the. council chamber to explain? We had mo suspicion that anything underhanded was to he at- tempted. However, I might say that cur local organization has granted permission to hold this tag day on October 30th, and we desire to thank the city- fathers for their generosity. One more word about tag days. The speiler from the A. & N. states that his organization is against tag days. Since when? The Montreal Branch of the Army and Navy have already beld one this fall or are about to do 'so, and it fs not so long ago that the local branch of the A. & N. Veterans held one at Lake On- _tario Park on a labor day. He is not in favor of tag days. Surely consis- tency is his middle name. It is well known, Mr. Editor, that he runs the local A. and N. Veterans, and no one but himself can be blam- ed for his sparsely attended meetings. Right thinking veterans will have nothing to do with him--and no won- der. It is well said--a burned child dreads the fire--onoe bitten, twice shy. At any rate the moral tone of the G.W.V.A. club rooms is some- thing of which the local branch can well be proud. The house has never been raided, and so long as the id- caly of our organization remain as they are, we are immune from the law. Considerable swelling and puff- ing also went on at the council cham- ber by our worthy gentleman. He had a few words to say regarding busi- ness methods, but dur busimess has not been built up by gambling, but by hard work and honesty. And fur- ther it is hard work, but only by such methods can' there be any measure of éuccess. R. Easton Burns Las heen the auditor of the association ever since its entry into business, and we are willing to have any chartered ac- countant audit our books. We have nothing to conceal, but we think Mr. Editor, that the report of the fund- raising campaign for the colors of the 21st battalion and the disposal of the money raised would make very interesting reading for the general man laughed till he doubled himself, | en. "If T can make a camera man and | & motion picture director laugh," sald | Louise to herself, "there's no use talk- | ing, I must be funny." Acting on this presumption, Miss Fazenda sought and secured a posi-| tion with the Mack Sennett galaxy of | gloom destroyers. That was five years | ago. Miss Fazenda has been promot- | ing mirth, good-will and hilarity ever | sluce, and always as star, featured | { Player or artist--doing-her-bit, as in| Mack Sennett's five reels of "Married | Life," and "Down On The Farm." etc. | Owen Moore In "moviedom" a star will go through all sorts of thrilling stunts and come out without a scratch.

Hl Horm Just prior to sailing for Europe Mr. Moore completed 'The Poor Simp," in which he plays the role of a wealthy young man very much in love, without an ounce of courage to propose. Mary Thurman If you want to be a dramtic star, first become a comedy queen. That, it seems, is a wood motto to adopt if present indications mean anything. Take the case of Betty Compson, and also Bebe Daniels, Gloria Swanson, Billy Rhodes and several others, most recent of whom is Mary Thurman. Miss Thurman's work with William . Hart in "Sand," now showing at picture houses throughout the country, was of a quality that put her on the topmost rung of the ladder of fame. And she is soon to be seen in "In The Heart Of A Fool." Although Miss Thurman considers that her comedy career is. now far be- hind her, yet she admits that her work with Mack Sennett opened the path- way to stardom for her. Without that comedy training, she stated, she never would have been able to master the techniques of straight drama. "There is no work more difficult than that required in making film fun," said Miss Thurman, "and as a consequence those players who have been grounded in comedy are bound to rise higher than any other photo- players. In my opinion, the best film actors will come from the comedy companies, not from the legitimate stage." Miss Thurman's reason for this statement is that a peculiar style of DAILY BRITISH WHIG hi! v SATITINAY.

As it happened there were two in there waiting, and both paraded be- fore him. One of them was a particularly pre- possessing-looking man, while the other was much less so; but after walking carefully round them, and regarding them both intently, the old gentleman engaged the latter, After they had retired the friend expressed surprise at the selection and asked if the man had ever work- td for him before. "No," was the reply. "As a matter of fact, I have never seen either of {them before." . "Then why did you choose that one?" enquired the friend. '"The other man had a much better face." "Face!" echoed the old gentleman lcontemptuously. "Let me tell you something. When you choose a gar- dener, choose him by his breeches It they are patched on the knees, you want him; if they are patched om the seat, you don't."
