Canada is rapidly coming to the front as a theatrical producing coun- try and no entertainment coming from the States or abroad is more worthy of patronage than '"Mademoi- selle of Armentieres." This is a musical comedy written by Cana- dians, organized, equipped and fin- anced by Canadians and contains a complete cast of Canadians. All the male members have seen service in the Canadian army in France--the length of service averaging 27 months. Besides the male cast there are several female characters and a chorus of English and Canadian beauties who will introduce musical | numbers entirely new and especially | written for "Mademoiselle of Armen- | tierres.""

When news flashed around the world that gold was discovered in Alaska, a mad rush started for the frozen north. Old men, young men, gamblers, outlaws, adwenturers, prospectors and women hangers-on left civilization in search of glitter- ing gold. Tent cities sprang up everywhere in this land where na- ture ruled with an iron hand. The weak dropped by the wayside and the strong, suffering dire privations, fought for life and riches. Robert W. Service," poet laureate of the Northwest, and Charles Miller, emi- nent director of screen classics, have immortalized the epoch-making struggle between man and nature in "The Law of the Yukon," a May- flower phutoplay production. Mr. Miller's intimate knowledge of the early history of the Yukon country its him pre-eminently for the task of putting into pictures the spirit of the inspired lines by Mr, Service, At the Stranl theatre on Thursday, «riday and Saturday, "The Law of the Yukon" will be the principal feature of the programme.--Advt. At Griffin's. To-night will be the last oppor- tunity to see the splendid programme which has been pleasing patrons of Griffin's. during the past two days, and is headed by talented Pauline Frederick in "The Loves of Letty." "The Loves of Letty" is an ideal role for Miss Frederick, and presents the problem of the poor girl faced with the dilemna of choosing pretty clothes with a loss in self respect or a poor man's affection given sin-| cerely. The temptation is strong, | but her character rises to the test, | | and her decision is unmistakable. . You will be sure to enjoy this inter- esting drama, and the beautiful! i gowns worn by Miss Frederick eh- | hance the attractiveness of the pro- duction. Be sure and see this pic- ture, also the balance of our inter- esting programme which includes the first episode of our new serial "Th Branded Four' and an exceptionally funny comedy "Ge West Young Woman," featuring Fay Tincher.-- jadn, Mayor Nickle is Asked {| To Stand for Second Term Mayor Nickle was asked by the {| Whig on Wednesday morning if he intended standing for a second term.

Gow, and V. R. Bullock, commit- tee of the photographic section, Messrs. V. C. Jones, Harris, and W. | D. Hay. | Dr. A. P. Knight gave a most in-| teresting address on 'The Conserva- tion of the Lobster in Canada". The speaker said that the total value of | the fisheries of Canada was fifty mil- | lion dollars, and in this total the sal- mon leads and the lobstéy is next in value. He stated that there had been a lack of information on one phase of the life history of the lobster---that pet/od covering the first and second years of its life--and that this infor- mation, which was important in re- gard to methods of conservation, had been obtained by two Queen's men, | Messrs. Klugh and McKay. He re- ported that the educational campaign among the lobster fishermen and | canners, which he, with the aid of Messrs. MacClement, Macgillivray | and Vashon, had conducted, had | yielded most satisfactory results in! reducing the numbers of "berried | lobsters", that is, females bearing | eggs, which were takén by the fisher- | men , and that this was a very de- | cided factor in the conservation of | this species. At the close of the address a hearty | vote of thanks was tendered the speaker, Had a Scotch Night. The A.Y.P.A. of St. George's Ca-| thedral held a "Scotch Night" Tues- | day to celebrate St. Andrew's Bay. There was an attendance of about | 100, all of whom enjoyed the very fine programme.

Stafford recited "Jamie Douglas" very cleverly. Miss ! Bertha Wilson sang very sweetly, | "Wee House Among the Heather," | and "We'd Better Bide a Wee," Mr. | Weaver gave a delightful banjo solo. | Rev. W. E. Kidd spoke on thé story | of St. Andrew, which was very inter- | esting as well as instructive. Dean Starr also told a number of Scotch stories in his usual amusing way. Delicious refresments were served. | ME Private sale of household -furni- ture at the residence of Mrs. Thos.
