From the court-yard, surrounded with massive stone buildings, the guests entered the dressing rooms*in the historic "Old Stone Frigate,' to emerge in all the splendour of their lovely gowns, to join the line in the covered way leading to 'the gymnas- fum, where in a marquee, gay with red and white, the commandant, General Sir Archibald Maedonen and Lady Macdonell received, the latter wearing a handsome gown of black lace over white satin and carrying a bsuquet-of red and white roses, tied with the college colors, the gift of the cadets. B.8.M. Mackenzie was also in the recalving line. Flags canopled the entrance to the gymnasium, red and white wound tho woodwork. Fragrant cedar, flags and red and white bunting decked the gallery at one end of the room from which, later in the evening, Sir Archibald and Lady Macdonell, with thelr guests, Major and Mrs. Forbes, Toronto, and the members of the staf looked on at the gay scene. In ofie corner was the orchestra, embroidered in- cedar, with a watch- man who might have stepped out of an Elizabethan play, holding aloft a lantern' with the damce numbers.

Cannon and sand bags with a rair of vaulting horses turned into a long seat was a reminder of the sterner side of life the men of the R.M.C. never hesitate to face. To make dancing easier, the Sir Arthur Currie hall was used as a ge- cond ballroom, with an orchestra of its own, an electric gong sounding the dances in both dancing rooms at the same time. Supper was served upstairs in the main building, red and white flowers in college cups decking the table. In the officers' mess, with its cosy ante-room with red-lined walls, room was found for the crowds of guests. Jardine's orchestra from Toronto, and the Brockville orchestra, both composed of returned men, played R.M.C. EDUCATIONAL BLOCK. they entered.

A comedy drama that will appeal to picture lovers of all ages is "The Little Clown," the latest Mary Miles { Minter release, which comes to the Strand Theatre here to-night and | Wednesday. There s love interest in the story, of course, but the picture is hap- pily lacking n any of the 'sex stuff' which has brought reproach on many of the most sumptuous motion picture productions of the last year or two. All children love motion pictures, and parents may well be grateful to Realart for the clean, wholesome stores in which they present Miss Minter. "The Little Clown" is full, from beginning to end, of delightful com- ody situations which will please the most blase picture patron, yet which ||are perfectly suitable for a juvenile audience to see, A real circus, one of the few wagon outfits left in this country, was hired to put on the circus scenes, which are so realistic that probably every daddy in town will make an excuse for seeing this plcture, just as dads habitually take their young- sters to the circus so they can see it themselves. "The Little Clown" is a new com- |edy by Avery Hopwood, that versa- {tile playwright who has had the un- usual record of four plays running in New York at once, all during she 1920-21 theatrical = season. This comedy of circus life will not be played on the stage until after the film production has been released for many months.--Advt, "The Birth of a Nation." Hundreds of people of Kingston, who were unable to see this mam- moth production, which was herald- ed all over the world, as the greatest achievement that has even been pro- duced for the screen, produced by that wizard, D. W. Griffith, will have an opportunity of seeing it at popu- lar prices again to-day and on Wad- nesday, and those who have seen it before will surely" want to see it again, as this will be the last chance, and as the management are expecting capacity houses, it will be wise to come early. Tickets may be pur- chased in the afternoon, for the even- ing show, which will relieve that tires some waiting in line, Matinee per formances will be shown at two- thirty each day, evening at eight o'clock. The picture will be shown in its entirety, exactly as it was when playing to One Dollar admissions. There will be no advance in prices for this super-production. To give the school children an opportunity of seeing this wonderful historical picture, the management dre going to arrange a special matinee after school to-morrow at 4 o'clock. Be sure to get a ticket at s¢hool which will admit any scholar for six cents. ~--Advt. bn cv rr 7 SRE 287 BAGOT STREET. Nizzige Ne as.
