Next Thursday, Friday and Saturday PRICILLA DEAN and LON CHANEY iN "OUTSIDE THE LAW" The Melodramatic Sensation! A ee rma a tA Theatrical "The Maple Leafs," Tonight. | In response to the many requests | from the ex-seryice men in Canada, | especially former fourth division | men, Captain M. WY. Plunkett, the | producer of most of the soldier en- | tertainments supplied our boys in France, has gathered together the {| "Maple Leafs" theatrical company, and will present them on a home | coming tour of Canada in their origi- | nal overseas revue, "Camouflage," at | the Grand tonight. The 'Maple Leafs" were the official pa~ty of the | fourth division im France «_1 were {one of the greatest favorites of the | C.E.F. Their musical revue was writ- | ten for them in France, and it. proved {to be one of the brightest and most tuneful shows ever staged in clos | proximity to the firing line. There are several wonderful "girls" among | the "Maple Leafs," all of whom did {their bit with rifle and bayonet be- | iq 4 being chosen by the captain for i e in the entertainment éorps. thig fact which makes the artis- | try of the soldier-actors a thing {above th dinary theatrical enter- twinmien ffkave D. W, Griffith's Wonder Spectacle. | 'Way Down East," the wonder pic- | ture spectacle which D. W. Griffith | has developed in a new art form dis- tinctly of his own: creation, is to be seen at the Grand Opera House for three days beginning Monday night, | April'11th, Following the opening the |engagement continues with matinees each afternoon at 2.15 and night pre- | sentations starting at 8.165. { The picture spectacle is an evolu- [tion of the familiar play of the same title by Lottie Blair Parker which toured America with unvarying suc- cess for many years. This statement is inadequate to convey the wonders { that Griffith has worked out of this | simple theme of plain people in a ty- {plcal New England community. By [his inimitable device of contrasts this | master of the screen refreshes the eye, delights with humors of the soil, | reflects the four seasons of the year lin a country of pastoral charm, {showing the freshness of spring, the | | Residence 1878 | waving meadows of summer, the col- ors of a New England autumn and the rigors of winter in that storm centre relieved by sleighing parties, barn dances and bucolic diversions that carry one back in tender memor- ies to the days that are ineffaceable. Its all so human and yet thrillingly dramatic or exquisitely illustrative and running through it is a holding story 'of love and lovers kept tossed in doubt by the realities of those stern conventions which saw things in only one light and made HNttle al- lowances for fallible humans whose fate carries the stirring events to the greatest dramatic climax ever seen in a theatre. The scene where David follows Anna through the blinding storm and finally rescues her from the ice fioe just as it is about to plunge over the falls is in the matter of sheer efféct of tenseness and thrill indeed a triumph. It is Griffith at his best and those familiar with his touch know what that means. '"'Way Down Easf{" will not be seen again in Kitgston this season. Seats now selling.--Advt. "Queen Zephra."' This production at the Grand, April 14th, 15th and 16th, will fur- nish the best evening's entertainment which has been afforded to the pub- lic this season. The Annandale Chep- ter,* LO.D.E.,, are very enthusiastic in their praise of the work of the cast of 160 young people in their re- hearsals and know now that this will be one of the most artistic and most elaborately staged and costum- 6d amateur shows ever presented in Kingston. The directors in charge of the training and staging have already furnished many surprises as to what can be done with an infelligent cast by direct and systematic methods of training and promise many more de- lightful surprises next night, April 14th, at the opening per- formance. "Queen Zephra" was pre- sented in London, Ont., in October, 1919, under the Royal Patronage of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales on his visit to that city and the newspapers all wrote that "Queen Zephra' was well worthy of the Prince's patron- age. It is a show that appeals to every- one who likes a good, clean, snappy show from the boys in the gallery to the occupants of the box seats. A full concert stra of nine pieces--piano, violin, saxaphone, flute, clarinet, bass viol, trombone and drums and traps--wil! play the show throughout, 42 musi- cal numbers. » Thursday evening will be "Civie Night", with the city officials occupy- ing the decorated boxes. Reserved seat sale opens Monday at 10 a.m. Prices: 25¢, 50c, 75¢ and $1. None higher.--Advt. At the Griffin's. George Wilson on Monday assumes sole control of the local Griffin's theatre, and is already arranging to give the theatre-going public just what they want in pictures and mu- sic. Through his previous success in the city, Mr. Wilson is in a position to know the desires of the people in regard to theatres, and has arranged a ten-piece orchestra under the lead- ership of G. Radcliffe, Mr. Wilson is firmly convinced, and his experience in the city bears him out, that tha theatre-goers want goud music and good pictures, and these he is bring- ing to the Griffin. This 1s the first ap- pearanc€ of such an orchestra in Griffin's, and with its inauguration is marked another step in the progress of the ever-popular theatre. While in Detroit, Mr. Wilson made arrange- ments for the bringing of big produc- tions to the city, all of them being on a par and in many cases superior to anything that has ever been shown in the city. He Intends catering to the public, and especially the ladies, and for that reason has eliminated every- thing that is in any way objection- able. Mr. Wilson also announces that commencing on Monday new prices will prevail. Matinee prices will be 22 cents for adults, and 15 cents for children, "while in the evening the prices will be adults, 35 cents; child- ren, 25 cents. With. his, wide experi- ence in motion picture houses, and hig previous gratifying success in the city, Mr. Wilson is well-fitted to make a still greater success at the Griffin and this he is determined to dao. The theatre-going public have learned to know his abilities in man- aging theatres, and can rest assured that his efforts at Griffin's will bear forth the best fruit.--Advt. At The Strand Theatre "Kismet," the Robertson-Cole super-special picture starring Otis Skinner, which opens at the Strand Theatre Monday, is the wonder film of the age. A wonderful cast and wonderfully produced. From the enthusiastic manner in which the audiences received the photo-play in Toronto and Montreal the run at the Strand theatre will be all too short. Louis J. Gasnier, who directed "Kis- met," hag attained a perfection of de- tail that could not be !mpoved upon. The cost of making this produe- tion must have been tremendous. The scenes of the old Turkish city of Bagdad are perfectly presented and carry an atmosphere that transports the audfence from the theatre to the Orient. The desert scenes with the picturesque Arabs and their fleet steeds, are superb. All of the in- terior settings are true in every de- tail and include the magnificent tapestries and hangings which go with Oriental splendor. For three seasons Otis Skinner, on The stage, played the role of Hajj the beggar and it was agreed among 'Thursday | cornet, | (the critics that his interpretation of {this picturesque character was per- [fect and the best work of his career. Edward Knoblock, the author of "Kismet" declared that Mr Skinner's wonderful art has made {change for the better in the charaet- ,er as he, Knoblock, had first visual- ized it. In the picture, Mr. Skinner {is at his best. .It is- impossible to cheat the camera. The most minute {detail is registered. If Mr, Skinner | makes one useless gesture or facial contortion. throughout his perform- | [ance it is not noticeable. - So clever lis his work that the individual feels {refreshed mentally and physically f for having seen it. This is Mr. Skinner's first picture. It was with difficulty that he was | persuaded to leave his beloved stage to appear on the screen. only consented when reminded that the screen would perpetuate "Kis- met." It is to be hoped that this {sterling actor will change his mind and that Robertson-Cole will be able | to convince him that several of his | other well-known and successful | characterizations should also be | picturized. | In the cast of "Kismet" iz Hamil- {ton Revelle, He plays the Mansur. His performance is excellent. | Revelle played this part with Mr. | Skinner in the original production. Of the women members of the cast, Elinor Fair and Rosemary Theby as | Marsinah and Kut-al-Kulb, are well cast and give delightful performan- jces. Others included are Mme. Co- mont Nicholas Dunaev, Herschel Mayall, Fred Lancaster. Leon Bary, Sidney Smith, Thomas Kennedy, Sam Kaufman, Emmett King, Fanny Fer- { rari, Georgie Woodthorpe and Harry Lorraine. --Advt. ! ---- | "Outside The Law" to be Seen Here Tod Browning's original drama of | the underworld, "Outside the Law," {comes to the Strand Theatre next | Thur., Fri., Sat. with Priscilla Dean |in the stellar role, Lon Chaney, | Wheeler Oaknan, E. A. Warren, | Ralph Lewis, Melbourne MacDowell, | Wilton Taylor, and a new child actor, | Stanley Goethals, are in the cast. . Browning produced his story as a | Universal-Jewel Yeature at a cost | running into hundreds of thousanas | of dollars, and the compléted picture {is said to give ample evidence of the | expenditure, by the beauty and lav- |ishness of its production. |locale is San Francisco, and several | blocks of the Bay City's underworld {'were reproduced at Universal City at |a cost of $90,000. An apartment {house on Knob Hill, the modern palace of a banker, and the splendid oriental intricacies of the rear and second floor of a bazaar are some of the more extensive settings. The story of "Outside the Law," concerns the struggles of a little group of crooks to free themselves the life they desire. In this they are thwarted and double-crossed by an evil and revengeful figure of the half world, who resencs respectabil- ity. In the background, and yet the dominant personality of this drama is an old heathen philosopher, whose ideas of right and wrong are based on no political statutes, and who metes out an unsanctioned Justice "outside the law." | Priscilla Dean is vaid to be at her | dramatic best in this, he. firs: picture [since "The Virgin of Stamboul;" { while Lou Chancey has a dual role | | which outshines anything in his car- eer of distinctive and difficult screen impersonations.--Advt. i | At the Allen. | It is difficult to imagine a more | perfect role than that of the mother in "The Greatest Love," and it is equally impossible to imagine any other actress who could interpret it as superbly as Vera Gordon does. As Mrs. Lantini, the devoted wite and big-hearted mother, she has even more opportunity to show her super- emotional abllity then she had In "Humoresque," her first big success. | But even an actress of such cali- |bre as Miss Gordon has to be sur- iounded by a strong supporting cast if her work is to be most effective, and in this picture that has been amply supplied. Ellis Island, the steerage 6f an oc- ean liner, the crowded East Side and the pretentious Riverside Drive were all used as locations for this picture. When you see it you practically take a personally conducted tour of the most interesting spots in New York. And you give your emotions an air- ing too. It is being shown at the Al- len theatre Monday.--Advt, Citizens' League Regrets Distarbance Kingston, April 9.--(To the Edi- tor): As president of the Citizens Liberty League- for Moderation, 1 write to express the regret which ali the officials of the league feel that anything whatever occurred to dis- turb the peace and order of the meet: ing held last night in the Opera House on behalf of prohibition. The league has never given the slightest countenance to proceedings of that kind. On the contrary in our puh- lished notices we expressly stated that we hoped Mr. Johnston would have "a courteous reception,' and at our meeting on Thursday night, our vice-president spoke very decidedly on the necessity of avoiding anything that would be an unseemly interrup- tion of the proceedings.
