William Mitchell, the young man who fell into the hands of the police some days ago, on a charge of being intoxicated, still holds the secret as to where he secured his supply of liquor. All the king's horses and all the king's men could not pull the story from him in the police court | on Tuesday morning, and rather | than tell, he took a sentence of three | months in jail from Magistrate Far- rell. The sentence was for three | months, or until such time as he | cares to disclose where he secured | i the liquor but "Billy" does not care | to give away his great secret, so he | went to jail with his lips sealed. Whether or not his stay with Gover- | nor Hawkey will tend to weaken {him remain to be seen, but other | | men besides Mitchell have served | { terms in the jail because they would | not tell where they secured ther liquors. Thomas McComb will have to pay | $560 into the police treasury or in de- | fault spend two months in jail. He | : got ynder the influence, and had to | | be taken care of by the police when | found on the street "drunk and un- | comfortable." McComb had several | stories as to how he came to go un-| der." First, he said he got his jag on two per cent beer,but any person | Who knows anything about this | 'near beer," knows that no person would be accused of being intoxicat- | ed even if he drank a barrel of it. This story, of course, would not go with the magistrate. McComb then told a yarn about taking a bottle of bay rum. No, he did not have it applied by a barber. He just bought | a bottle for his own use, and tipped it off with a chaser of water. Mec- Comb's final story was told when he came before the magistrate Thurs- day morning. This time he blamed it all on 'poor Montreal. The magistrate rang down the 'curtain withy a fine of $50 and costs, with the option of two months in jail | Theatrical & At the Grand, "The Gray 'lower's Mystery" is the title of tne latest Vitagraph fea- ture production starring.

Plays come and go, but few live forever; amongst those that have re- ceived public favor is 'Way Down East," whose popularity has made it a by-word in America; it has enjoy- ed a continuous run for over twenty-five years and has been wit- nessed by more people than any other play of its kind. This year's revival is under the direction of Counihan & Shannon Inc., who have spared no expense to make this year's production bigger and better than ever, the electrical effects are said to be the most bewildering of their kind and the snow scene in the last act an acme of reality. The company numbers twenty-five peo- ple, amongst whom may be mention- ed Hazel Regan, Edwin Dudley, Al Bushee, Millie Stevens, Dick Mack, Jeanette Case, Winna Rogers and Jack Morrisey. 'Way Wown East" will appear at the Grand Opera House on Friday and Saturday nights, Dec. 31st and Jan. 1st, with special New Year's mtainee on Sat- urday.--Advt. - At The Strand. Mary Miles Minter's latest photo- play, 'Jenny Be Good," is the principal attraction at the Strand theatre Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday. "Jenny Be Good" is the story of romance and youth which Jenny (Mary Miles Minter) and the hero, Royal Renshaw, are secretly marr:ed. When Royal's parents learn of this they send him off on a cruise and induce Jenny to have the mar- riage anulled.

At the home of Mrs. Rossiter-Jones,' her patroness, where she is to give a private con- cert, she meets Royal and his wife, chosen for him by his parents. The story is full of pathos and intense Jit- nations, relieved by a vein of humor, Which {s very entertaining. It all ends happily, but Jenny at the apex er mau career gives it up at or command of love. "Jenny Be Good" is the photo-drama of the book by the same name, written by Wilbur Finley Fauley, well-known in the literary world as a contributor to | various magazines and as the society editor of one of New York's principal dailies.
